11·9 days agoHow do you tell your bank to use simplex to send you a verification code ?
17·16 days agoIt looks like they are still selling almost 7000 copies per week !
Are you using an American, Canadian, British or metric cup ?
Because they are all different measurements.
It was Guild Wars Eye of the North for me. I got it just before going in family holidays.
I spent two weeks looking at it.
I would look into the Surfaces, you can find a cheap second hand one and install Linux on it.
2·1 month agoIkea has a lot of chip board furniture but they also have some decent solid wood furniture for a good price.
It’s usually pine but still for the price it’s a decent quality furniture that could last for a good time in good condition.
2·1 month agoThe agreement between Roscosmos and NASA still exist. Each Soyuz mission to the ISS is carrying an American astronaut and each NASA mission is carrying a Russian cosmonaut.
The next mission with the Dragon was supposed to carry 4 astronauts, 3 Americans and 1 Russian. Now the capsule will only carry two astronaut to leave space for the rescue so only 1 American astronaut and 1 Russian will go up on the Crew-9 mission.
They were also using asbestos and knew it was causing respiratory issues.
They had cloths made of asbestos that they were cleaning by throwing them in a fire. However they knew that slaves in asbestos mine were getting sick because of it
Same, none of the Brazilian I’ve meet said they ever been murdered.
2·1 month agoIt is very possible that it happened the other way around already.
Lifev could have appeared on Mars when it was more hospitable and then a meteorite from Mars transported early form of life to Earth.
15·2 months agoI lived for two years in Cameroon when I was a kid (around 4-5 years old), we were regularly spending time with another family who had kids and the same age.
Fast forward 15 years later, I’m 19 entering university in a totally new city in France. The first day every student is sitting in the amphitheater and they call the name of every student.
When they call the last name of the person close to me I recognize the name so I use it as an ice breaker to start a conversation saying that I knew a family with his name in Cameroon when I was a kid … He says that yeah he lived in Cameroon as a kid at the same time as I did, so here we go we found each other again 15 years later !
It seems like there is disagreement within NASA whether it is safe for the astronauts to return on Starliner or not.
Boeing engineers did test on the ground to try to replicate the issue that is occuring on the thrusters. They found thqt the issue isndue to a Teflon seals bulging but they don’t understand precisely why is the seal buldging and when it occurs.
However they feel confident enough that the problem would not happen on the way back to earth. Some people are NASA are not as confident as they are and would like to know the precise cause of the bulging.
About the software: there is a capability in the software for the capsule to undock autonomously.
However it would means resurrecting parameters that have not been used and updated since 2022, there is some reconfiguration needed and testing to make sure it still does what is needed despite the different hardware and software change that happened since then.
It is really not looking good for Boeing right now and I don’t know if the Starliner program will survive this accident.
Not anymore, it was designed for 7 people in 2 seat rows using propulsive landing.
During development they switched to parachute instead of propulsive landing, since parachute can be rougher they had to lean the seat more back for the astronauts to be able to handle more G’s.
In this lean back position there is not enough space for a second row of seats anymore
Applied to a real situation I’ve been through :
- my pool 4.5m wide, 9m long and 1.5m deep, the current level of salt is 2.5g/l and a bag of salt weight 20kg. How many bags of salt do I need to bring the level to 3g/l ?
- OR: my pool 14’9" wide, 29’6" long and 5’ deep, the current level of salt is 2500ppm and a bag of salt weights 40lbs. How many bags of salt do I need to bring the level to 3000ppm ?
The answer to one is 1.5 bag, the answer to the other one is “fuck that, I’m getting 8 bags at the store and it should be good enough”
The fact that NASA has been considering the option to use the Dragon capsule to bring them back shows that there is some concerns.
In 1988 already Jacques Chirac promised that in a few years everyone will be able to swim in the Seine.
It did not happened but it shows that there is already decades of work and investments to clean the river and it shows, the Seine is much cleaner today than few decades ago.
It’s still not perfect but it’s getting there slowly and the Olympics gave a boost to it.
Don’t forget ISO216 for paper size. It does not make sense that the US is still using “letter” and “legal” paper size.
Jeremy Soule made some soundtracks.
Guild wars 1 and 2, Skyrim …
What are you talking about, I was very interested in Greek mythology, it’s just that some parts got the attention of my teenager mind more than others.
The Birth of Venus (Bouguereau)
