rtl-sdr uses the same chip as dvb-t tuners, but the everything else part is completely different

lol as if they could plan this far forward

cancer is in large part an old people disease, if you avoided dying of cholera you’re more likely to die of something else. also now there’s a lot of people who were exposed to carcinogens decades back, and we got better at treating pr preventing some other common causes of death like stroke or heart disease

that’s no problem at all, systems like that are in use

It’s easier to freeze water than to cool rock borehole

Saudis parked fuckload of money in ai startups

This will continue as long as there are CCGTs used as baseload, then it will drop as CCGTs (and biomass + waste burners) will cover the gaps

methane cracker? that’s a very unusual unit that outputs hydrogen and carbon. i could find info about opening of ethane cracker in 2025, but that’s for plastics, next to shutdown of another similar unit

Lithium-iron is about 2x more expensive, there might be different availability and energy use during manufacture is probably higher

Lead-acid batteries work if you don’t care about weight and lithium-iron phosphate if you do

yeah this is only practical option, the analysis isn’t that expensive, but equipment to run it is. but also people who have their own water wells have to submit their own samples

No they don’t, there’s still 4 units one per launcher. Most of problems you mention seems to come from energy storage system. Energy is stored in the flywheels, which requires annoying converter, so chinese variant uses giant set of supercapacitors instead which is just a bit heavier and has less problems with communications interference. Also can be split in many parts and fit in any space you have. Mostly benefit of being designed later. Zero surprises if americans figure it’s better but institutional inertia keeps them using the old one

They don’t actually. Steam catapult is operated with completely separate steam supply, and major design goal of ford class was to remove it so even if pedo in chief wanted, retrofit is physically impossible. That separate steam supply needs extra freshwater because it’s not condensed and recovered. EMALS is much milder on plane and pilot because it’s a big linear motor that gives constant acceleration instead of spike then decreasing like with steam. Efficiency of steam catapult is also dogshit compared to turbine + energy storage system

EMALS has been around for over 15 years so naturally trump lost interest

Reflective side out, and on the outside this should work. Aluminum foil or a thermal blanket would also work and are lighter

set of hex keys and potion that gives you caffeine overdose. 10% chance of notebook with cursed knowledge

i’d still try hydrocarbon solvent first, because it’s least likely to damage it

You can’t critihype it when you call it phage madlibs from the beginning

almost certainly both will damage print. something like lighter fluid (or hexane) won’t, but it should loosen glue. trying to dislodge sticker with a razor sometimes works even better

some people suggest vegetable oil, but then you’re left with oily fabric
