I live in Northern Europe, and we regularly get wind blown sand from the Sahara, 3000 km away. I expect lightweight microplastics to be carried much further.
The thing is, my brain also loves sugar. My whole body needs some sugar during a long run.
Not quite true. The brain will happily run on mostly ketone bodies, and your skeletal muscles can run fine on fat, especially on long runs. For explosive performance, glucose is still better, because it requires a little less oxygen per unit of energy, and it can be used anaerobically. However, your body can make its own glucose and will even build up glycogen reserves despite not consuming any sugars.
If you exercise for health reasons, you don't need any sugars at all. If you exercise competitively, you can supplement some sugars before/during a race for best performance, but go sugar free during training and rest. Fat adaptation can take weeks to months, though.
Perhaps they should come up with a way to lay the booster down on its side, once it's successfully landed on the drone ship?
It would require a crew to attach the booster to a crane and lift it, which is much more dangerous in rough seas than just quickly welding the feet to the deck.
And, even in horizontal position, it would have to be secured, otherwise it would still slide around and get damaged, or fall off the deck.
The team that would be required to weld the feet to the deck. That's a dangerous job if the ship is moving too much and there's a risk that the booster will slide around.
When the NIMBYs stop fighting the deployment of newer designs.
Is there a worldwide list of reactors that are at risk, and that need to be replaced by newer designs ? And was the Fukushima reactor on that list prior to the incident ?
It takes longer to get through these wormholes than to go directly, so they are not very useful for space travel," said the author of the study, Daniel Jafferis
These worm holes are better known as Jafferis' tubes.
Grabbing it and laying it down is just a matter of engineering.
But there's no need. The center of mass is very low due to empty fuel/oxygen tanks, and heavy engines at the bottom, and the booster is already very stable standing upright. The only thing that needs to be done is grab the legs with an improved octograbber, so it doesn't start sliding around.
Capital does not give anyone the right to dominate and enslave anyone else.
That is clear. But how about two people, in complete freedom, making an agreement that one of them will work for the other in return for an mutually acceptable reward ? Is that forbidden ?
The main point is that overly strong conclusions are drawn from bad mouse studies. Mouse studies are cheap, and combined with the need for publish or perish, we get daily exposure to crappy mouse studies.
This is like a drunk man who's lost his keys in the dark, and then goes to look for them under a street lamp down the road, just because there's more light there.
The last common ancestor between humans and mice lived 75 million years ago. As a comparison, the last common ancestor between cows and orcas lived 50 million years ago, but nobody would think it would be a good idea to use cow studies to determine what's best for an orca.
Higher bandwidth and speed is very useful for short messages, because it means that your transmitter only needs to be enabled for a very short burst, saving power.
Lower power and extra features such as high resolution location tracking. Check out LWPA and narrowband iot.
Also, older technologies are being phased out so that the spectrum can be reallocated. If you target something like 2G now, you may run into diminishing coverage soon.
The new SpaceX rocket design can handle much stronger winds because of its increased diameter, so this is a problem than can be solved.
Of course, the worst that happens with an F9 launch is that it's delayed by a few days until the weather clears up. Compared to the rest of the schedule, that's not too bad.
Have the packages delivered to a drop-off point where you can pick them up later.
The problem with this "porch pirate" sting operation is that it's temporary. Thieves hear about this, and will just lay low until attention of the police is directed elsewhere. Also, the taxpayer ends up picking up the bill for the extra police activity.
I have a better plan: Amazon talks to their shipping partner and tells them to ring the doorbell and actually deliver the package to a person, instead of leaving it on the porch. And if they're not paying enough for that, they should pay them more.
Cut two holes in a sheet of paper. Hold it under a lamp. Note the difference in the projection of light down one hole vs another even if the paper is flat.
Right. With a desk lamp you can get different shadows, but you can never get the extreme effect of the Sun disappearing behind the horizon. If you move too far on the paper, you'd see the lamp disappear behind the hood, while still up in the sky.
The spherical hypothesis has not even tried to disprove its null hypothesis

In theory you could, just like you could rebuild a bombed city by piecing the debris together.
I like twitter for following certain people that post interesting stuff to new developments or research papers. It works fairly well for that.
The thread and response mechanism is totally useless, just like the hashtags.

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness.
That has no effect on the legality of the name change.
Also, if science isn't settled, then vaccinations don't work, evolution is false, and over-unity devices exist.

It's not just an anecdote, there's also a very simple mechanism that explains the effects.
Bacteria love sugars more than anything else.

How will this work ? You want to publish your own photo on a big site, how do you demonstrate that you are the copyright holder ?

So, all you need to retrieve the data is a simple optical microscope and an advanced space program.

It makes no sense to us 5G for this because 5G is for dense areas that need high-speed.
Presumably, the farmer making a technology choice would check first if the farm was covered by 5G network.

I also wonder how well that huge thing will do when taking off or landing in bad weather.
