Ah, this is probably the right community to ask.
What are those stripes leading to the crater, here in the upper left?
I’ve noticed them before, but when I try looking it up, I usually only find results for Saturn’s moon.
Beautiful picture, op!
Regarding solar electricity: does that mean to mirror the sunlight to a solar panel? If so: ignoring, that one would constantly need to adapt the mirror’s position, I think I also read somewhere that solar panels decrease efficiency with heat. So my question is: could one increase solar panel output by bundling light or would heat related inefficiency cancel that out?
It’s not any snake, but some species that are adapted to living on trees. It’s also not really flying. Gliding would describe what they do better. As they jump, they flatten their body and make slither movements through the air, gliding maybe at a 45 angle downwards.
Interesting. Even so much that after a 14 hour road trip I read a little more about it.
The first thought was “hearing?” but then I remembered that I heard electricity before, standing next to a transformer.
According to what I read this is something different, though. High voltage is audible due to ionized air in close vicinity, while home appliances can be audible due to AC power shifting magnetic fields and that can make internal components vibrate.
Anecdotally, I believe I have heard close hitting lightnings - just before happening - in my power grid.
Didn’t read the article, but there was the worry mentioned in the title, that the rodents could have messed with the electrical wiring.
Can anybody explain why mice like wires so much? Do they look like worms to them or do they have a electrocution kink or can they sense electricity somehow or something? Genuinely interested.
Aren’t these changes, because there are just have bones to look at, so skin properties etc are a guessing game?
But how did that jaw bone double in length in 2001? Was the skull a missing part until then?
Thank you!
Currently I’m using both Boost and Thunder, as both have things I like and both have things I miss, that the other app does have. I’ll see over time if I will settle with only one app and if it’s Thunder I will want to figure that out.
Currently I found a workaround by first adding like 10 returns on the bottom of my text so I am able to see what I write above.
(This comment I will post with the additional returns at the end to see if they get automatically removed or not. According to the preview option they won’t be visible.)
The other 3% probably aren’t all climate change deniers.
I would guess that a large chunk of those are more like ‘the data is not sufficient or good enough to be absolutely, absolutely certain’.
I use mosquito coils, they are very effective.
I also have an electric bat, although it’s more for the phycho fun of killing than helping reducing bites. They are just too many.
I tried lemongrass as a natural deterrent but had the impression it made no difference.
What works best for me is: slapping those you can while not caring about the rest. Because once you start to scratch it’s a vicious cycle, so I don’t touch stings and usually then forget about them shortly after.
Maybe they are different. I live in Asia. From what I heard there are many mosquito species, but the majority not blood sucking or at least not human blood sucking. Only few species carry disease, if I recall correctly.
To be fair, when I’m preoccupied, I also don’t feel them always. Or I feel them but my hands are busy, so I can’t slap them. I often have this at night, when I’m playing PC games and my feet get stung up. It’ll be like “ouch, my foot! Gotta slap that mosquito, but first I finish this in game. And then this.” Procrastinating until it’s too late.
I believe ankles are prime for them due to thin skin.
One mosquito died, writing this comment.
I disagree. I live in mosquito land and get bitten a lot. I’d say the majority of mosquitos biting me, I feel when they land, before they bite. Probably half of those I can either slap or miss and they take off again and try again. There are some spots though where I don’t feel them land. The annoying ones are those I feel touching me but they don’t land, they just fly around. Those are hard to slap.
Unrelated question: does anybody happen to know if the biting time matters for transmitting disease?
2 mosquitos died on me while typing out this comment.
Someone help this poor bear get some education!
Totally agree. I just witnessed my sister delivering her baby a few days back.
I was shocked about “electric rocks” but it seems to be just a fancy word for “metallic minerals”.
The article also says
Geiger determined that natural mineral deposits on the ocean floor, called polymetallic nodules, contained elements including cobalt, nickel, copper, lithium, and manganese—all of which are critical components of batteries.
I think I have seen some video about an Australian entrepreneur who wanted to “harvest” those things off the seafloor, to great concern of environmentalists.
Hate it, when you’re just going with the flow doing nobody any harm and the pigs appear and want to drug check you.
And more. Major river discharge can raise the sea level in the area. Then big circular currents similar like when you stirr your cup of coffee or tea. Or chocolate milk 🤤
Maybe it’s enough to be highly intoxicated when outdoors. 🤷♂️
I’ve been reading quite a lot about ww2 subs. Subs that dived for longer times could have pressures inside different to the outside pressure. This wasn’t enough to cause health issues, but it could make it either difficult to open the hatch or it blew open itself once unlocked.
Related to the pressure thing: When late war German uboats used the Schorchel technology (which is basically just an extended air intake and exhaust, so the submarine could use its diesel machines at periscope depth) in bad weather, this could result in sudden pressure drops due to the schnorchel being submerged under a wave for a short time and the engines sucking the air out of the submarine itself. It was no easy ride
I want to know this as well. This is the only reason why I often switch between browser feddit and Boost.
Interesting, thank you for the reply! Learned something new today. The lines I see span over a quarter or so of the moon, so I’m not fully convinced yet. Absolute massive.
