…Laura Loomer, who once described herself as a “proud Islamophobe” and “pro-white nationalism."
Man, it’s amazing how nazis can just run for office out in the open and get >40% of the vote.
Calling him a chicken is great - they definitely need to get that out more
Need to get bumper stickers out
Especially since it’s harder to corrupt a larger pool…
Also terrible for the environment
but Mars L1 Lagrange point is only 2.2million km [from the sun]
I… don’t think that’s true? The L1 point is fairly close (in solar system scale) to the planet.
In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind."
Indeed, “in the future” seems to be doing quite a lot of heavy lifting. As noted, 1-2 Tesla is a pretty powerful magnet - so you’d need a pretty big and powerful magnet.
It also doesn’t completely protect the entire planet just two critical points on the surface.
That is certainly an important catch.
Mars gets roughly half the light of Earth, so I don’t think Solar panels would be realistic (how much solar panel surface would you need to power a magnet of that size?)
I’m also not sure a nuclear reactor is realistic - forget the nuclear waste, how do you get rid of the heat waste?
You’d need quite a big magnet operating at a level akin to superconducting magnets in particle accelerators.
Perhaps someone could calculate more accurate numbers and feasibility, but to me, it currently sounds very out of reach for us (not impossible, mind you).
You just put a giant magnet in space at Mars’ L1 Lagrange point
Well, that’s a lot saner than nuking the poles.
Doesn’t seem like we’re near technical feasibility, though - how would you power such a massive magnet in space?
Even his bullshit non-answer is incoherent 💀
Is anyone surprised that Trump thinks that way?
Dudes a caricature of a monster.
Think this is more an artifact of the way vinyl records worked - since audio can be encoded in two channels via the way the needle moves in certain orientations
I’m surprised it’s not banned by Beehaw, but then again, I have no idea if lemmy has that capability
Edit: banned, dang it autocorrect
You mean the 2nd Amendment that doesn’t literally say what the Supreme Court ruled it said in the 60s and 70s?
Damn, sure is a well regulated militia.
Or bots that just repost reddit content… or users who repost reddit content.
Damn reddit, they ruined reddit.
Huge problem with this is that his supporters don’t care about truth - they only care about what feels right.
They think children just wake up one day and decide to change their gender - not realizing that it takes years living as your gender, multiple therapists, hormones, and consultations.
Just complete ignorance and apathy.
Not since Android 9. Hopefully your phone is newer than 2018.
Not exactly sure when it was added, but newer versions also give you a notification/alert when your microphone and camera are in use.
Not sure about iOS, but on Android you’re not able to just give free access any more - it’s either no access or “only while in use”
Wait a minute…
First that late that killed dogs, now this…
Are… are Republicans eating their pets?
