You need power steering. That’s not even a luxury, that’s a safety feature. Being able to steer the car quickly and without excessive force is kinda important. You going to be trying to convince us that A.B.S., air bags, and seatbelts are a luxury next? Just get a damn bike or ride the bus.
Sounds like something a sea lion would say.
The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work.
I didn’t say this, you did. You’re chasing your own tail.
Is this wit or a genuine request that one of us explainsthejoke.com?
The ratio of the size of the image to the distance from the pinhole is the same as the ratio of the size of the sun to the distance to the sun.
A pinhole camera has no lens. The effect here is like a pinhole camera, but a pinhole camera is nothing at all like a lens. Pinholes diffract light. Lens refract light.
EDIT: Of course you can’t resolve an image through diffraction. That’s not how pinholes cameras work. Diffraction negatively impacts image resolution, but it absolutely happens when light passes through them. But, although lens do use refraction to resolve an image, that same process also has unintended negative effects on image resolution (spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, etc.). I didn’t bring up any of that because it was ultimately a distraction from the important part: narrow gaps diffract light, lens refract light, and pinhole cameras do not work like lens.
Because there isn’t much of a risk of food borne illness from bacteria inside the flesh of the fish. The big concern there, especially salmon, is the parasites. That’s why salmon is flash frozen on the boat as soon after it’s caught as possible, to kill those parasites. That flash freezing is also the only reason salmon is used in modern sushi. Properly handled, salmon is about as (if not less) dangerous than a steak with regards to bacteria. Pretty much any bacteria present will be on the surface, not inside the flesh, so those get killed w once you’ve cooked the outside. As with anything, the risk of bacteria isn’t zero, but it’s small enough that most people need not worry about cooked it until it is a dry chewy abomination.
That sounds like a lot of work. And I’m not fan of steamed fish. Salmon is like the easiest fish to pan fry.
The whole process takes about 5 minutes plus the time it takes to preheat the pan. I have an induction range, so the pan preheats in the time it takes me to salt the salmon.
You could probably just use some unbleached linen or cheese cloth, aka a non-decorative towel, since that is the reusable material that paper towels replaced in our modern disposable society.
I think our brains are pretty good at ignoring or abstracting/simplifying things we see that we don’t understand, almost too good. That’s just magic, optical illusion, or hallucination. Getting high is like chemical circuit bending. I feel staring into the void alone won’t be enough drive one mad, it’s when the void stares back and forces awareness, or knowing, that one has to worry. The non-euclidian architecture of R’leyh is just unsettling, but the stare of a multidimensional being can’t help but bend your circuits beyond their limits.
There was that one short story though about FTL travel, wherein the conscious passengers must be asleep for the journey through hyperspace (or whatever that story called it). Some people stated awake through the trip and came out the other side mad. The hyperspace itself wasn’t enough to break their brains though, it was just that an instantaneous trip from the sleepers’ perspective, became an infinitely long (in time) trip from the waking conscious perspective. At that point, what they saw didn’t really matter, it was a forced perception or awareness without the solice of “not knowing” that broke their brains.
None of this is science, just rambling nonsense.
That’s not how TV in the 80s and 90s worked. Most of the TV we watched as kids in the 80s would have been reruns of things in syndication. Millenials born in 82 would have grown up watching reruns of Cheers for their entire childhood and likely have memories of watching even some of the later episodes live.
Can this keep num lock engaged? I swear my biggest frustration with windows lately is it’s habit of randomly and arbitrarily turning off numlock after I’ve turned it on. I never turn off numlock while working. I never use the number pad arrows. I prefer the number pad numbers and use them practically all day. And yet, several times a day I find my cursor moving around the screen instead of typing a number because windows decided that it got to control the numlock function instead of me and the dedicated light up key designed for that function that has worked fine for me for decades before.
Kinetic energy scales not just with velocity, but with the square of velocity. Speed makes a BIG FUCKING difference in your ability to avoid an accident.
Yeah, King’s endings tend to be a little messy and narratively unsatisfying sometimes. Gunslinger is easily my favorite of the series and just about every other thing he’s written. On my last read through the story, I started with my original copy of The Gunslinger, then read through the rest of the series (reading the disconnected but related stories just before the final book), and finished with the revised edition of The Gunslinger.
No metal + oxygen = rust and sometimes that reaction is encouraged by a catalyst that remains in contact with both. You think they’re going to go to all that trouble and not going to rinse and dry the tank when they’re done?
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
Either way, you can put passengers in the back of an SUV, but not in the bed of a truck (without breaking laws or being totally unsafe).
You are already capable of communicating to your cat that you are in pain. Be honest. Make sounds of pain when they hurt you, the same way you would train a kitten not to bite or claw with malice. Your cat will understand. Just don’t get angry. It’s easy for cats to forget about empathy in the face of anger.
Right? Most of those are all the kinds of regular maintenance things you button up BEFORE a long trip. Windshield cracks are usually either quick fixes or fixes that can be delayed or patched until you finish the trip.
Frequent enough stops to limits butt pain and blood clots isn’t such a bad idea though.
Have you? Several of the first few cars I drove did not have power steering and without any doubt or hesitation I can say they were not as safe to drive. And having been personally struck by a vehicle at slow speeds I’m pretty confident that your argument there doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. I’m not saying they can’t be driven. I’m saying that they are less safe, the same way cars without anti-lock breaks are less safe. Both require extra training and practice to operate safely in an emergency situation, training that is increasing difficult to get because most people drive cars that have had these essential safety features for their entire lives.
