  • Not specifically for a rock, but that's "roughly" how physical modeling synthesiers work for instruments.

    Also there's a youtube channel of a guy who builds an engine simulator to reproduce the sounds of 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines by applying fluid dynamic simulation of the gas flows in an engine.

    It COULD conceivably be built for rock dropping as well, but I assume that's not a thing people have yet put effort in.

    Edit:

  • Yeah 5000 of them to get the 500 mW a smartphone needs in standby mode. 50000 if you want to power up the phone from stabdby (assuming it just uses 5 Watts)

    It is the article that mentioned smart phones which is bullshit. This is a (probably expensive) battery specialized for extremely low power devices which need to run for many years. It will never be something that powers your phone.

    The tech is really cool and there's applications for such a battery - just not phones.

  • I had to google, maybe some else wants to know: Galileo units is a (non-SI) measure of acceleration.

    1 gal = 1 cm/s^2

    100 gal = 1 m/s^2

    So the 500-something gal from the article is roughly around half the acceleration of gravity we normally feel.

  • Boeing Boeing Boeing Boeing...

    • Hey Joe, is this set up for the correct specs for the plug doors?
    • Bert, don't ask such things, else we'll be here until night. Just fix those darn bolts with it, then let's go for a drink.
  • Interestingly I have a first generation Bosch Uneo (green consumer device, non changeable battery). Uneo is a consumer level cordless screwdriver and pneumatic hammer drill hybrid, it will easily put up to four to six holes into concrete walls (enough for home use when hanging something, but afterwards it's empty and needs to be recharged)

    The Uneo is one of my most useful tools for occasional use, and I know of no other brand which offers a similar tool which fulfills those roles in a non-craftsman home.

    If you regularly build stuff its battery is too weak, but I use it a few times a year. Hang a picture, lamp or a wall cupboard in my apartment (which partly has concrete walls in this high-rise building) - not a problem.

  • Regarding cooking I just bought my first decent knife (from Fein in Solingen, which is a traditional knife-making company)

    Not the absolute high end, but just one step better as most of the normal industrial stuff - ai couldn't be happier.

  • Level 3 autonomy is exactly that. Mercedes allows you to do other things than driving in specific situations like specific (!) highways etc.

    BMW also has Level 3 on low speeds on specific highways.

    This is not autonomy in all situations but only during the day, no rain etc.

    For limited situations the car fully takes over and in case of an accident it is legally Mercedes' or BMW's responsibility not the driver.

    That specific situation is indicated by the lights.

    It will not drive autonomously in a city or so or where pedestrians are.

  • Different regulations apply for the driver when the car is autonomous vs controlled by a driver.

    These lights do not indicate driving assists like Tesla's autopilot but full level 3 and above autonomy. In level 3 for example, Mercedes is responsible for any damages due to accidents - not the driver.

    Also in level 3 the driver may legally use their phone, which is illegal for a car driver normally and give them a ticket.

    So there IS a legal requirement to find out about the autonomy level of a car from outside.

  • The reason for these lights is that Mercedes has Level 3 autonomy, so the car can self drive without the driver taking attention - for example here in Germany it is illegal (and there are photo traps) to use your phone on while driving. The lights are a solution to the exemption that you are allowed to use your phone while your car is on Level 3 autonomy.

    On level 3 you need to be able to take over again within 30 seconds after the car actively asks you to do so.

  • I know from own experience that a short tongue tie makes it harder to become a cunning linguist.

    My tongue tie scrapes on the lower teeth when sticking my tongue out. (I think my situation is a lot better than yours) Still, it might be more comfortable to have a doctor make a small incision instead of scraping and tearing it when things get steamy.

  • Ah yes, sorry I should have provided context but thought German readers would recognize it and other would ignore it.

    This was a German reddit meme where a guy had mice in his apartment in Berlin. An exterminator just poisoned a lot of them and told him the smell would be gone in 2 or 3 days.

    He was describing the smell in very colorful words.

    "Da ist nicht viel dran" trended on r/de for a year or so.

  • Never work on Saturday or Sunday. In other words, get enough rest.

    I can manage my own mind a looooot better when I'm not stressed out or overworked. It. makes the difference of managing life for me.

    (It also includes not to do too many exhausting fun things. NOT trying to control things for a day is so relaxing. If I stay in front of the Playstation and just eat junk food for a weekend, then I probably needed that)
