There are actual induction units for woks now. They're large but they really get almost the whole wok really hot really fast! I'm assuming there are multiple induction loops inside…

"I'd wager anyone who opines otherwise in this thread barely cooks or doesn't cook in a serious fashion." I started my taxable life almost 30 years ago in a Chinese kitchen. I'm li…

No, I want a Myst or Riven game where I'm actually walking around the world. The VR support/remake pales in capability versus what I've seen done with actual VR games, and Myst cou…

Myst has severely overlooked a platform that has recently made some pretty decent strides - VR. I have a Kat Walk C2 and a game like Myst in VR with that VR rig would be absolutely…

Not only is it opening up but several other large scale projects are already being considered in the USA, including one in Atolia, California that I have been privileged enough to …

"Apple is doing it right, simple high level statements." Apple does this to most any company that ends up with any of its former employees. It's basically expected. Apple is being …

"I was asked the classic "fork in the road, two guys, one always tells the truth and one always lies" riddle" To which I always reply "I just start beating the crap out of one at r…

"How does someone with such short temper get to work in the aerospace industry?" My temper is very even. I simply do not tolerate bullshit from nobodies who are speaking garbage. A…

I read it all and even what is stated is mostly wrong UNTIL THE EXACT UNIT IS SPECIFIED. And I'd know because I have to work with this IN ORBIT. I've had this conversation a dozen …

"Liquid gasoline does not have anywhere near the energy of TNT," Energy density of gasoline is approximately 44 to 45 megajoules per kilogram. Energy density of TNT is approximatel…

"no phase transitions from -40C to 80C." Well that's fine for terrestrial use but aerospace needs that range to be expanded a little in both directions, otherwise it won't be much …

Yup. I did the exact same thing, except I split a cast iron pan, and shattered the induction cooktop.

"Who in their right mind ie cooking inside at all without an externally ventilated exhaust fan?" Anyone in an older gas-served apartment building has the potential to not have dire…

I dive in the ocean regularly with my Kyocera DuraForce Pro. I take underwater photos and videos with it. It works just fine.

I don't need to produce a collision, I just circumvent or exploit other parts of the system. Then again, I did defeat Hermes 2 to recover my hard drive. All it took was a lot of ha…

"Man is not going to disprove the Pythagorean Theorem" The pythagroean theorem breaks down in elliptical geometry. This is why it is a theorem and not a law.

"y'all are black pilled about computers and security. You believe, incorrectly, that computers can't be safe AND secure AND easy to use all at the same time" This is basic fact. Ma…

RL incorporated in the USA to gain launch licenses. They've been an American company for over a decade at this point.

But now comes the real question - will the MUDs be programmed in something sane? The last MUD/MUCK I was on was done in RPN-style code. That was a headache to code various plugins …

"there's no such thing as a closed loop system" That's not incorrect though; you're still needing to shed the heat energy SOMEWHERE. Thermodynamics alone dictates that basic fact. …

For example, if you used PLA you'd get a stiffer, more mechanically-rigid structure in the zipped-up state. If you used TPU, you'd get a more flexible and elastic structure. I'd wa…

As someone that just got done doing a legal dig in a national park (inholding from the 1800s owned by a mining company, preparing to trade that land to the park for another mineral…

Depends on the material that is being used and application. I could see this being highly useful for tents and similar fabric structures. I probably would not build a satellite sol…

Uhh, you do not need an accelerator to generate EUV. It's literally just molten tin hit with a laser.
