hydrofluoric acid

Not sure if serious but just in case: why would there be any HF in a lithium ion battery?

It makes a lot more sense once you consider where you are starting from: a rock hurtling around the sun at breakneck speed (29.8 km/s). You can not really bullseye something when you are going almost 30 km per second sideways to it.

On the short term: maybe
On the long term: makes absolutely no difference. Some of the soot from those fires might actually settle in the soil and stay there for 100 - 1000 years, which is probably the least harmful way petro chems could be converted. The portion that would have been converted to plastics and rubber might be a grey zone, but not a large one, since a large portion of that is burned at the end of its useful life.

Both caffeine and ephedrine are stimulants.

How many PSUs are installed in the Poweredge server? In the manual it says it could be 1 or 2 and the power per PSU could be 1100W so if it is 2 * 1100W then that could explain why the UPS has problems with it.

Check out their road map and the videos of their prototypes. It is very much not a tech bro project :). The first goal isnt event maglev but magnetic propulsion.

If you want to go faster you want to go contactless which means building a whole new, incompatible, network.

retrofitting and hybrid operation seems possible though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevomo
they already built a small working prototype

Also very often overlooked: the Amazonas as we know it today is NOT wild in any way. It is a cultural landscape that started around the time when humans settled that area but not later than 11tya

[…] large portions of the Amazon rainforest are probably the result of centuries of human management, rather than naturally occurring as has previously been supposed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rainforest#cite_ref-24

a surrender condition that lets Russia retain all the land they’ve taken

A while ago there was a prediction about the true intentions of the russia negotiating: they want to stop Ukraine from succeeding as a state, since that would be a bad omen for a neighbouring kleptocracy.
If this prediction comes true the outcome you describe is actually very unlikely, because the russia would rather continue fighting just to keep the region in shambles.

NetworkManager’s Gnome GUI works with wireguard config files. If you are using Plasma you would need to install some alpha software to do that in the gui but you can always fall back to nmcli which also supports wireguard configs via the import command.

Just to expand on the smartctl bit: you can totally use smartctl with some RAID controllers!
See here for examples / supported cards: https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_RAID-Controllers

Maybe the primary coolant but all the designs i’ve seen so far use water for the secondary coolant / working fluid.

Are there any molten salt reactor designs that do not use water as a coolant?

a better than usual split for some families

That is exactly what counts as credit in this case, because this split is made possible by some other families crediting the bid. Basically writing “i dont want this money give it to someone else” on a figurative piece of paper and bidding with that instead of cash.

“5.3 m (17 ft 5 in) in the centre” That is indeed very tall. Most trains in Europe are 4.650 m tall or smaller.

leaded solder without an extractor fan

• lead does not vaporize at the temps used in soldering.
• lead free solder also needs fume extraction. even more so actually, because it is used at slightly higher temps.
• even with perfect fume extraction, leaded solder can still poison you, because you touch it and then touch your face without washing your hands.
• if you are prone to allergic reactions from solder fumes avoid solder with a rosin core, use synthetic flux instead.

I think you can even draw a defining distinction there because if it is not believed then pseudohalucination would be the better description.

isnt the name of one of the hl2 maps “little odessa”?
