This is neat but also stupid. If a laser has enough power to fry a mosquito, it can also fry your retina.

Yes, I’m aware he added a safety system. That’s one layer of Swiss cheese in the safety system. It’ll work flawlessly until it doesn’t. How are potential reflections handled?

Most all pensions or 401Ks are using index funds of some sort. Nearly everyone is affected by this.

Considering how long AV1 adoption has taken, you probably have a decade before you need to worry about needing AV2 support.

I don’t know enough about planets and atmospheres to say for sure, but I reckon adding gas would increase the volume of our atmosphere to some extent.

It’s absorption and re-emission of IR. Instead of IR leaving our planet, some gets redirected back at the surface by CO2.

The concentration matters, not the absolute amount. Spectroscopy confirms this. 1g of CO2 will reflect IR much differently if it’s in 1mL or 1L of volume.

It will dilute it and reduce the effect, sorta like reducing the reflectivity of a mirror.

2” in the standard, sometimes you can get 3” recline in economy+ seats.

Yeah, 6’3” and 1/2” with bare feet, standing up straight.

I’m 6’3” or 1.9m tall. I fly monthly for work. Putting the seat back has little effect on leg room because the pivot point is just below your knee level. It steals a bit of room going straight forward from your head/shoulders but you can reclaim this lost 2” by also reclining your seat.

If you’re kicking seats rather than reclining your own to get back to the same exact space as non-reclined just at a slightly more comfortable angle, you’re the asshole.

You’d just need metal for this.

Obviously some goes out laterally, but next to the ground is where the lowest flux of shrapnel will be.

Neither do any motorcycles, and they’re allowed on the road.

1. easily will break glass, they’re heavy, dense, and hard

2. hit the deck, the explosion will be up and out

3. shrapnel is how fragmentation grenades kill, not the overpressure wave

What is the ideal amount of biomass for humans? Same question for agricultural land. What’s the ideal amount? I’m torn between thinking this is just how things go or maybe I’m just terribly ignorant. At some point the majority of biomass was dinosaurs or something, so what? That’s the ebb and flow of life. It wasn’t the biomass of dinosaurs that caused their extinction. How do these biomass stats indicate overpopulation?

I can’t disagree with the industrial farming and overall ecosystem points you raise but the biomass bits seem awfully arbitrary.

I’d also say feeding 50% of the world’s population for 2% of the world’s energy seems pretty damn efficient.

how do I know if you mean memes or memes tho

What is a meme?

Nah, seems like they just misinterpreted what I was saying.

No worries, thanks for allowing me to explain and reading what I said. Online discussions can be difficult these days.

That is absolutely not what I’m saying. I’m saying the biological processes that lead to intersex or otherwise “complicated” sex conditions are fairly well understood. Sex is much more complicated than just the M/F dichotomy, and the current scientific and medical understanding of sex supports this.

Those who deny that sex is more complicated than binary M/F are rejecting well established science.
