I started watching Ninja stream Fortnite after Penny Arcade made mention of him and how amazing it was to watch him play. I don't particularly care for him as a person, and his commentary is mostly vapid. However, watching his game play is quite impressive. In Fortnite, the game is equal parts building in 3D and running/hiding/shooting in 3D. Watching a very skilled player literally build the world around them as they and their opponents position and shoot in that world is an exciting and fascinating thing to behold. I have no skill in playing such games, but that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate the skills of others as they develop real time strategies in 3D. That's the draw for me, seeing someone do something impressive and interesting at a much higher skill level than I could ever obtain.
If the price for electricity storage for cars was instantly ZERO, there is still no way that anything close to the "predictions" (really breathless hyperbole meant to secure additional research grants and headlines) from this study could be true. My guess is that, just to move around the new machines, material, and retrofitting equipment necessary for such an abrupt transition to all electric vehicles would require 8 years of using ICE vehicles in the first place. What happens to gasoline pumps that need to be removed? What about all the inventory of car parts at thousands of retail outlets in the US alone? Just physically moving all that stuff to some landfills (likely using ICE dumptrucks and earth movers) in the desert would take a huge, dedicated fleet of vehicles. Consider the momentum of the ICE system in our world. There is scarcely anything in that system that could disappear in 8 years, let alone the whole kit and caboodle.
For me, trying to visualize things brings only very brief, half-formed flashes before it's just blank again. Almost as if I begin to visualize, and then am introspecting the process too much and it dissipates.
I am the same way. As a teen, trying to get to sleep, I would sometimes try to imagine a swinging pendulum, but the visualization would fall apart after just a few swings. I have a terrible visualization ability, and actually do much better when I describe things in words than in pictures. As a mechanical engineer, this makes me very much an odd duck compared to my peers who, by and large, see and manipulate 3D objects in their brains all the time.
You are not alone!
Nanotubes are not yet an engineering material in the sense needed for space elevators. They only allow space elevator tethers if you can have very long tubes, with aspect ratios like a million or billion to one. Right now, nanotubes used in experiments and a few limited production materials are microns or possibly millimeters long. Space elevators need meters or kilometers-long nanotubes to capture the exceptional strength of the molecule. As the length gets shorter, you're relying more on the matrix (material surrounding and binding the nanotubes) for strength, and there's no matrix material that gets close to the nanotube performance.
I know it's unpopular, but the Electoral College is an important FEATURE of our representative democracy, and should not be thrown aside just because it looks like it may be used to make Trump the next POTUS. The Electoral College is a safety valve against popularity, foreign interests, and other manipulations of the electorate.
It may come to pass that, in this election, Trump wins the EC vote. If that's the case, and some people are upset about it, it may allow for state-by-state actions that could help tune that safety valve by revising how Electors are chosen, and what actions they can and cannot legally take.
Please don't apply your unhappiness with a particular candidate to a vital feature of the US system of government. The risks of getting such a safety system removed from the process are far outweighed (IMHO) by the potential 4 or 8 years of Trump.
But, if you assume it's a "wind", then the projected area that the flow sees on its way to the target, the more interaction you would have. Particles have discrete positions and are affected by dimensions. You can't have a massive, small cross-section object "shielding" your other object the same as a similarly massed, large cross-section object if the thing it's shielding from is particles.
Consider reading (or listening to) Cosmosapiens. It's a FANTASTIC analysis of all aspects of human evolution from the fundamental particles all the way through societal and species cognitive evolution. The author, John Hands, is very analytical and considers all sides of the relative specialist fields.
Plants make water and CO2. They've already optimized the volume storage of all the machinery and data needed to do so. Fire also makes water and CO2, and that's just an idea, so it's easy to fit in one's pocket, even in a tight-fitting space suit.
Texas did this for many years, but got called out for it when it became clear that there were some transactions with the US Navy, using the dried blood samples for research. They were sued and had to eventually destroy 5 million samples
An article in Pediatrics from 2011, hosted at the US National Institute of Health, says that many states are still doing similar shady things with newborn blood samples, and that some don't even need to inform parents about how the samples are used after the initial testing is done.
Even more to the point, if the car has to take into account death vs injury, it may actually "prefer" to hit people in safer vehicles. If the safe car is hit, it's 10% likely the occupants will die, whereas if the unsafe car is hit, it's 90% likely the occupant will die. Aim for the safe car to minimize the risk of killing people...
We use PlayOn for local media streaming, as well as Hulu, YouTube, and some cable channels. We bought it for $70, lifetime license. Requires a PC to run on, but other than that, makes our Rokus serve all our television needs.
We mechanical engineers called those "Baby Statics":) They actually taught a subset of sum(F)=sum(m*a) to the civil engineers that got rid of all that useless m and a business. All forces summed to zero, and that's how they liked it!
No judgement on you, though. My EE knowledge goes just about far enough to remember V=I*R, and my greatest software achievements have manifested themselves in MS Excel VBA scripts!
Congrats to you for expanding your knowledge and stepping into the messy world of physics!
You cannot possibly leave off the list HCBaily, who is, I dare say, the most prolific LP'er in the universe. He does JRPGs, and is really damned good at it. He's funny, quirky, and deeply knowledgeable about the games he plays, and the genre as a whole. He has something like 10,000 videos and 57 million video views.
As far as I know, he doesn't do advertising or paid LPs.
It's easy to see how it could be torture. For the specific case of Muslim terrorists who find it spiritually objectionable to drink alcohol, imagine their forced feeding slurry including wine. Or if not wine, maybe the terrorist believes eating pork is sinful, and the liquid food comes from processed pork. Or lima beans, or whatever. The effect of knowingly, but against your will, ingesting a food could be psychologically traumatizing and cause mental pain.
A completely reasonable food, administered in a completely reasonable way could still be torture.
I imagine some of it has to do with Quantum Electro Dynamics, and the fact that the electron arrangement in gold makes it naturally a very different color under white light than most other metals. Ancient people found a rock that had a color like no other rocks, and also could be shaped into trinkets. That's my best guess for how it all got started.
Millions of US citizens also take baths every day. Some even dunk their head under the water to rinse away shampoo.
Close enough that water boarding is just maintaining the prisoners' head hygiene?
Without making any judgement on interrogation practices or detainee treatment, the argument that something is a "routine... procedure performed daily for large numbers of people" and therefore not torture is illogical.

Wow. I haven't seen the hot grit meme around here in quite a while. Bravo, good sir!
Having grown up in Ohio, I believe we were firmly midwesterners. Certainly not eastern.

Google says ~0.11 to 0.15 nm, depending on if you use atomic radius or covalent radius. That's 1.1 to 1.5 Angstroms.

Great advice. Next question is, what are the actual addresses that should be added? I can't find that information.

It's like a penalty for owning a safer vehicle.

Check the next-to-last slide on the linked presentation. 50X smaller than typical VR components usually placed next to the CPU. http://www.psma.com/sites/default/files/uploads/tech-forums-nanotechnology/resources/400a-fully-integrated-silicon-voltage-regulator.pdf
Check out pages 7-9 or so for the magnetics and inductors: http://www.psma.com/sites/default/files/uploads/tech-forums-nanotechnology/resources/400a-fully-integrated-silicon-voltage-regulator.pdf
Nope, they actually did get on-chip magnetics and inductors. They're the Intel folks, afterall.
