It’s like reading something thoroughly would be too much to ask. Nah I’d rather skim it and then post dumb questions and waste everyone’s time instead of just my own.
“Throughout the film, BB-8 is an elaborate mix of practical effects, digital effects or, in most cases, both.”
“And yet even with effects affecting the story more than most movies...”
I’m no security expert, but would those be more or less prone to physical hacking and tampering by spies and other questionable people? Maybe I watch too many spy movies, but wouldn’t it be easier for a diver to sneak undetected around in the dark murky waters to get to the servers? Motion sensors, night vision…
Curious to know (and it’s likely too complex a problem to model anytime in the immediate future) whether a lesser amount of heat applied directly to ocean water is better or worst than greater amounts of heat and greenhouse gasses applied to the atmosphere elsewhere due to less efficient cooling setups.
It makes some sense from a land cost and cooling perspective, but the sea is a harsh environment; between the corrosive effects of the sea water and the sea life that might take up residence and cause other problems, I don’t think these things would have a very long shelf life.
Actually, this would melt it more SLOWLY. Much more efficient to use seawater for cooling rather than using electricity to air-condition buildings on land.
Yes, if you bother to look at all you can get LED bulbs that are indistinguishable from an incandescent. You want the Soft White bulbs rather than the day light ones.
This is somewhat of a detour on the lightbulb thing, but still important. I have a friend who’s grandmother is in her 90's and live alone. She’s confused by all the new bulb choices at the stores, and tried to buy what she knew and was used to. Incandescent light bulbs are getting harder to find, so she accidentally…
Yeah, that’s what they say. My point is the police often take a tool designed for one thing and use it in another way. Tasers, for instance.
Basic LED bulbs are very close in price to CFLs. Sometimes cheaper if you can catch them on sale (~$2 each), which isn’t bad considering the lifespan and energy savings.
It’s probably a sea eagle, the european cousin of the bald eagle.

I had a similar thought. I think that spinning props of any material could cut the birds’ feet. Carbon Fiber is structurally strong, but it scratches and cracks not too differently than plastic. Remember that the rigid part of CF is just epoxy resin. A CF car body is not bulletproof, and scratches just as easily as…
I see it easily being 20 years. Ag has had auto steer applications for 15 years now, and yes they can turn the tractor around, auto shut off parts when double covering, but ultimately you need to be awake and ready to handle it incase there is an unknown. The unknowns in the field could be errosion from a rain, losing…
Well yeah, you’ve got blades spinning at a high RPM, which can cause serious injury.
The Japanese police has the right idea by deploying counter-multicopters equipped with nets.
Yeah! Who needs feasibility studies and testing? We’re impatient now!
I’m not in any of those groups, but I wouldn’t blame them in this case. Catching a quadcopter in flight is very dangerous. Those blades can cut your fingers clean, I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to injure an eagle very badly.
only 250 mph?
