    Try the Zebra DelGuard mechanical pencil - they have a sophisticated system protection the lead, with springs and whatnot - even in 0.3 mm version, it is actually quite hard to bre…

    As I a say - a movie demonstrated how it would wourk & look like. As humman spaceflight goes, spin gravity has not been demonstrated in space yet. IIRC they wanted to try that with…

    You don't get why people would like to be in control of a powerful new technology before they build their stuff arround it ? Sure, there might be currently contraints, but I think …

    You can't really spin a small spacecraft to get rotation gravity - the rotation period would make it unworkable. However, you can connect two parts of your space craft with long ca…

    IIRC solar mirrors in orbit & artificial green house gases are often mentioned.

    Why is a flight longer than a month problem ? It will be much longer, more like half a year one way. On the other hand, uninterrupted (orbital) spaceflight record now stands at 437…

    Good, another way they can waste more money & hopefully crash faster & harder.

    IIRC, that is the V2, the original IIRC had a sealed case, with a plug at the bottom for USB and SD slot.

    Can it really explain the code if the information is not there anymore ? It was in a binder that got shredded 40 years ago by accident. More like it will hallucinate some explanati…

    Yeah - they not just VRChat but many other VR projects are alive and very active, doing verz innovative and almost marvelous things most people don't know anything about. It might …

    Seems quite sensible - good to see an institution woth some weight finally enforcing such basic principles that should have been universal - but money is of course more important f…

    Here in Europe there are actually anlot of "book corners" where you can just leave books you no longer need & pick up other books people left there. They are in variois places - tr…

    Destroying books is a crime against humanity. Only bad people willingly destroy books.

    Who says this needs to feed Americans ? With LNG shipments from Middle East disrupted, the same American natural gas that is used to generate AI slop could have been shipped as LNG…

    These simple natural gas turbine generators are also massively inefficient - the same natural gas used in a combined cycle district heating plant would have its energy used much mo…

    I would argue that books are sacred & anyone destroying books is a bad person. History seems to agree - bad people did usually destroy a lot of books.

    I though Brazil still has these weird tariffs on computers and high tech products in general - at least I've heard from some Brazilians that it's still making personal computing ha…

    For the record, Aeon Mall is basically a brand - there are many Aeon malls in Japan in various cities.

    The Czech National libraries do that for newspapers, magazines and other periodicals - they bind the copies they get automatically for preservation to big books, so they can be bet…

    Destoying books, for any reason, is a crime and it should not be done, ever!
