Its part of iterative improvement. The resonance causes the beam to spread out, which both makes getting results harder and losing more particles in route. The resonance is caused by the magnets used being imperfect.

The point of the article is they have created a model that predicts these resonances accurately. This will be of limited benefit to them, though it will help clean up some data. The big advantage for future constructions is by knowing how the field becomes imperfect, measures can be taken to correct for it. This will make future particle accelerators better. The same problem will occur in larger fusion reactors. By studying this now, they can be improved before they are even built.

“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is a huge difference!”

For most governments it’s enlightened self interest. Completely screwing over their population for short term gain is akin to cutting off your feet to save money on shoes.

Be careful with the taking average mindset. It’s a default human one, and it’s being abused. A lot of media outlets (particularly American right wing) are mouthpieces for the same few groups or people.

Instead, try and look at their biases. Do they have a reason to mislead you. What akin do they have in a particular game. E.g. the BBC is still fairly unbiased on a lot of world news. They are far less unbiased on middle eastern politics now.

It’s an annoyingly complex problem to solve, on the fly.

As an aspie, we still flirt. We just (sometimes) flirt differently.

I can’t see it as anything but white and gold. However, other photos clearly show it is black and blue.

Interestingly, if I’m scrolling past, my brain will sometimes perceive it as black and blue for a fraction of a second. I can normally flip optical illusions at will. This one jams me in the wrong viewing mode.

Some companies are still trying.

I’ve got a ulefone 27T. It’s the phone equivalent of a tank. It also includes thermal and night vision, and underwater video modes. I would also give it good odds of surviving being used as a self defence weapon.

Downside is it’s a relatively unknown Chinese brand.

They are down to 2 main problems now. The main one is (the cost of) scaling up. Fusion reactors will be more effective then bigger they are. The tiny test ones are already past break even.

The other is wall material. Apparently the radiation has an annoying ability to transmute the elements making up the wall of the reactor. They are working out a material that can maintain its bulk mechanical properties, even with random elements appearing in its internal structure.

Unfortunately, that’s not the type that counts. It’s the government backed/condoned that matters. The sort that even fox news would struggle to spin. The sort that should cause heads to roll within government organisations.

A few " " “lone wolves” " " can be disavowed, no matter how heinous the act they do. Unless you can tie it unambiguously to the powers that rule.

It’s a fucking shitty situation, but that’s the rules we are stuck working within. To change them, we have to win. To win, we need to play (mostly) within the rules.

Fyi, the same could also apply to left wing “lone wolves”. Without the media, it’s harder to spin, but doable. If they happen to meet up and organise at a march, that’s nothing to do with the march. 😇

Well behaved as in a wild west high noon standoff. The first to flinch, and resort to serious violence will lose a LOT of public support.

Violence now doesn’t gain much. It needs the over and support of a larger movement. It also needs to be focused, to not simply dissipate the anger.

Right now, America is getting back into the habit/flow of protesting. That alone should make an intelligent government nervous. Don’t dip the stew over their heads, until it’s good and boiling.

(And to clarify. I’m not saying to follow all rules, like good little drones. Bad behaviour just needs to be conscious and controlled)

Kids fill you to the brim with love, and drain you of everything else.

It likely won’t help, though it depends on the source of the brain fog. ADHD drugs are aimed particularly at the areas of the brain associated with executive functioning. Under stimulation here can cause brain fog, among other symptoms. Critically, the body’s homeostasis system wants to boost things, but can’t. It doesn’t fight the boost from the drugs, at least in the under stimulated areas.

If the brain fog is sourced elsewhere in the brain then the amphetamines won’t help much. Even worse, a normal Brian will adapt to counter the drugs effect, causing physical addiction. You would need to constantly increase the dose to gain the same effect. That’s the reason ADHD drugs are controlled substances in most countries. People chase the dragon, and end up nuking their brain with too high a dose.

Basically, don’t do it without medical oversight.

It’s also worth noting that it wasn’t the hydrogen that caused the fire. The Hindenburg had an aluminium skin. It began having degradation issues, so they painted it. The paint was iron oxide based. Aluminium and iron oxide are the 2 main ingredients in thermite.

Analysis of the video shows that it was the skin burning off. It would have gone up almost as badly, even if filled with helium.

Automatics had a bit of a bad reputation, for quite a while. They don’t/didn’t play well with our road layouts. E.g. they could be slow to downshift when climbing a hill, and kick when they did decide to play along. I believe they have improved a lot, but most people are used to manuals, and so more manuals are sold. This makes automatics more expensive and rarer.

I think it’s a bit of a generational thing. The internet has given us access to a lot more reliable information. Far more parents have learnt the difference between what’s effective and what feels good. Yelling feels good, it doesn’t actually work very well. Rolling with it, followed by a calm discussion gets far better results. Achieving this mentality is another matter, but using it as a goal helps moderate your reaction.

You can spot the parents here.

They are expressing themselves, having fun, and off the iPad. They even put it where I don’t have to see it too often. I’ll call it a win.

Fixed. 👍

I remember when my first was born. 2 different parts of my brain had opposing thoughts.

1 part was thinking “This is the cutest, most beautiful thing ever. I must protect and nurture them at all costs.”

The other part was thinking “My god newborn babies are ugly!”

I can easily see cognitive dissonance pushes most people to the first thought. It’s you being hacked by hormones, an effect that is disturbingly powerful.

I was also caught out by how much my (male) hormones were affected, even pre birth. It both disturbed and amused my wife.

I always assumed it was a hold over from a rodent-like ancestor. Stick your nose out of a barrow, and you want to clear it to get a good sniff of the environment.

It’s definitely one of those effects that confuses people. If you don’t do it, it seems weird as hell. If you do, it seems weird that some people don’t get it.

As much as I would love Linux native builds of games, this also makes a lot of sense. I consider it a completely acceptable solution to the problem.

I’m a parent. I would also struggle to keep a straight face. My minion might even get a compliment for the insult. They will still be in trouble for it though!

Parenthood isn’t about being perfect, but just ahead of your chaotic lovable minion.
