I finally have a relevant username and all I can say is, some days you eat the bamboo, some days it eats you.
Bear-apalooza of new bear movies this year! Represent!
All of the math above is at least approximately right — this leak has released about 6 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 equivalent so far (60 days * 80 co2/methane equivalent* 1300 tons methane/day) and if allowed to run all year, it would release about 38 MMT of CO2 equivalent. The US as a whole generates 6,673 MMT,…
The way this is usually taught is that under special relativity: p = (gamma)mv, where m is rest mass, v is velocity, and gamma is the Lorentz factor, which approaches infinity as v approaches c. One way of thinking about this is to say that all of the kinetic energy from the rifle is consumed by the gain in mass as…
No top level joke about “Peñíscola” and the importance of accent marks? Did we all become grownups all of a sudden? Or did I just miss this being, ummumm, beaten to death earlier?
Aww yiss! This is my new response to every work question I get. “Let Lyndie give you my answer.”
So many lovely books without words - David Weisner’s books including _Sector 7_ & _Flotsam_; Barbara Lehman _The Red Book_ and _Museum Trip_, ; Istvan Banyai _Zoom_ and _Re-zoom ; Regis Faller _The Adventures of Polo_; the wondrous _The Arrival_ by Shaun Tan.
Some former governors of Virginia get to live in a pineapple (looking at you, 4th Earl of Dunmore), some in, ahh, humbler quarters.
“Try the spiced honeyed locusts, Hizdahr — I hear they’re quite delicious.”
This guy says it happened in 2002.
We're all in a time-travel pod, moving from 1960 to 2060. Those are just holograms we left behind. Sorry, can't tell you why — spoilers.
Post-heart attack recovery is pretty different: "Like most other aspects of the treatment of heart failure, today's advice (exercise) is the opposite of that from 30 years ago (bed rest)."
One of the working theories (from Dr. Gideon Lack, one of the lead researchers on this study, and Dr Hugh Sampson, who directs the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mt Sinai Hospital) is that getting the protein in your lungs or on your skin BEFORE you get it in your digestive tract is what causes the allergic reaction.…
Sandkings! Me, twenty years ago: "Hey, you should read this story, it's by a great, unknown writer named George R.R. Martin. Boy, I hope he keeps writing hard SF like this, he's so good at it."
Seems legit:
Somebody needs to talk to Rotten Tomatoes and find out how Paddington broke their algorithm - it's now the second highest rated movie in wide release, trailing only _Selma_, and tied with _Boyhood_, at 98%.
Yes. I. Also. Loved. Jake Gyllenhaal. He was. Much. Better. Than. Cats. https://screen.yahoo.com/amazing-alexan…
Just to point out that, despite the ironic kitty, this is not the Schrödinger's cat experiment, but instead is a clever variation on the double-slit experiment, which Feynman famously noted — hang on — "The double-slit experiment (and its variations) has become a classic thought experiment, for its clarity in…
