I'm fairly sure you can collapse most UI elements though.

While it is true that exercise itself does not make you spend much energy, doesn't strength training build additional muscle which in turn makes you need more energy to maintain th…

They don't just "bounce away", some of its quarks turn into different ones through interactions, and that is enough to class that process as a decay. Also, quarks can't bounce away…

If you enable nested virtualization in your host and shove Valorant in a VM with Hyper-V (through what I believe is a feature in Windows, but forgot the name) Valorant should actua…

Officials are probably more educated than the general populace, since they almost always need a university degree, but enlisted personnel might even be high school dropouts, so I w…

Of course there is. It's vital to check your calculations in some way or another, and cross checking with other humans that know what they're doing ought to yield the correct answe…

Sure, the stuff in the tray goes away, but Wine is not a sandbox. Software can still look into your filesystem and processes. You need Flatpak for proper sandboxing.

Luminosity is the number of particles (in the LHC's case, protons) flowing per unit area and unit time. Additionally, integrated luminosity is luminosity integrated over time, and …

You clearly didn't think your comment through. Let's say it's your first time cooking. If you have no idea how much of each ingredient you should add, how in the world are you supp…

That is not quite true. Miners that know what they're doing will undervolt their cards in order to improve power efficiency, which makes cards run cooler and at lower power.

A bigger problem in getting power from fusion is dealing with the resulting neutrons. You can't redirect them out the exhaust, so it's energy you've lost (unless you harness the th…

> If you're traveling at 10 m/s as you go out of the gravity well you go faster and faster because time speeds up, but your velocity per unit time stays the same. You seem to be co…

Why not just use a separate program? I personally use Syncthing to sync my notes, among other things. It's peer to peer, doesn't even need an internet connection if your devices ar…

> but the only place I ever need to use a Qwerty keyboard these days is the touch keyboard on my phone. Can't you just set your keyboard on your phone to Dvorak? If yours can't, I …

Well, now that I think about it, our chemical propulsion requires an oxidizer, and judging by how this works, this doesn't need one. So by using this method they cut down on the ox…

Maybe you should start with understanding non relativistic quantum mechanics before understanding QFT. QFT's only a small jump from QM, more or less. As well as understanding class…

I don't understand why you're getting snagged up on in QFT, I've recently done a course on that and it wasn't that complicated, though that's if and only if you've studied or at le…

Being kind or not doesn't affect the quality of their software. If anything, I'd say they're strongly opinionated, something that seems to be in very short supply these days, and a…

Seeing is not the same as detecting. Can you call radioastronomy "seeing" when you can't see radio waves at all? Gravitational waves are even more "unseeable" in this respect.

Miners didn't move to better cards, they moved to ASICs. Once the currency is too hard for a consumer GPU to mine, miners move to specialized hardware which is far better at mining…

That only really happens on laptops, which can't dissipate as much heat as desktop systems due to size constraints. On a desktop, if you're using even AMD's stock cooler, you won't…

They're both points of equilibrium; Lagrange points are both stable (like a ball rolling in a half-pipe) and unstable (like a pencil standing on its tip) equilibriums. A stable equ…
