Unfortunately converting 1 calorie to joules ruins everything 4.2J per calorie. Makes it annoying to calculate how quickly you can boil water for instance.
The audiobook really changed my perspective on the pandemic, wonderful book. The movie was fine but for whatever reason I didn't have the same emotional response as the audiobook.
"Project Hail Mary" is a similar vibe by the same author, not quite as good but a fun read!
I loved having the movie run in the background at parties. That sounds like an insult but tuning into a scene every now and again while blazed is a wonderful experience I do enjoy watching it properly from time to time too.
nothing short of a .50 Cal armour piercing bullet gets through those tanks. And even then a chance of an explosion is very very low, it would probably just produce a fire just like gasoline (which can also explode under the right conditions). But that safety requirement is still a barrier, as it raises the cost of an already extremely expensive technology. Personally I can see hydrogen catching on for some niche applications, but for every day driving I don't see the price ever going low enough for it to make sense compared to electric.
realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that'll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.
In 2009 amd, facing insolvency, sold its entire mobile graphics department to qualcomm for a measly 65million that technology went on to become snapdragon. It's one of the only things that kept amd going at the time, but qualcomm got insanely rich off it.
It's rather poetic to now see intel face a similar decision. According to the article intel is also planning to spin it's chip manufacturing out to its own company which is also what amd did with global founderies around the same time as selling to qualcomm.
Hacking got harder, and the enforced penalties for getting caught became a lot more severe (in the west at least). This meant that most hackers aren't doing it for luls but for serious business.
The timing of Biden dropping out was very strategic to save Harris from getting dragged down by primaries, and leave RNC without much time to come up with an attack strategy. A Canadian election could be up to a year away, seems premature if that is indeed the plan.
That said I don't think there is a PM that could save the liberals much at this point (I don't think there is literally anything that could save them now) Freeland has pretty much the same baggage as Trudeau and Canadians vote more for party than for PM.
