This is very cool, but I'd like to see this of just the earth spinning on its own for a while too.

Ya, same technique as those 3d eye illusions from the 90s.

Reply to UK and US rule out sending F-16 jets to Ukraine - as No 10 says it would be impractical | Politics News by BelleAriel
I personally find bidens response deliberate, and intriguing.
He made no explanations, and was very short and said "no".
And that could sometimes means he is deliberately answering the specific question precisely.
Iow, it could be possible the US is sending new f-16 to Poland and Poland is sending old ones to Ukraine, for example. I'm not saying that I think this is happening, but sometimes precise short answers can be for reasons like that.

How do you make sure your steam gets to 500C?

Reply to comment by MTGamer in How hot is the steam coming out of nuclear power plants? by ivy-claw
If you have some water and it touches something very hot, the water can't exceed 100C, because as soon as it does, it becomes steam. But the steam can be crazy hot. So with enough temperature difference, if you plunge something crazy hot into water, the vapour won't instantly escape, and the heat transfer could be very rapid creating larger pockets of really hot steam, only the outside of which would be cooled by the water. So, the steam can be much hotter. But the water must stay at 100C in order to be water.
Steam, should always be hotter than 100C, which is why it converted to steam. It's essentially water that is hotter than 100C at 1 ATM, by definition. But usually it would only be a little bit hotter in conventional use. 300C seems like a lot though. Idk anything about reactors, but I think they plunge massive insanely hot rods into water?

Reply to comment by colcob in If I had two cups of water, one normal size and one as big as a swimming pool and stirred them both with proportionally sized spoons, would the larger pool of water keep spiraling longer than the smaller? by r3volc
Wdym by rotational rate? You mean equivalent tangential velocity of the spoon going around?

That's exactly what it is. It just so happens that creates dams, which is good for them, so they evolved to hate the burbling water and want to plug it up.

Semantics. We can argue that forever. I think it does. If you enjoy the look of gore or whatever, then that's visually appealing to you.
Feel free to think differently. I will not discuss this further. Goodbye.

There can be other points, but the point is to be visually interesting, for visual art.

It kind of depends, because some disgusting things can have artistic appeal, but if it's something unattractive, bland, and uninteresting, no matter how good the artwork is, it won't really gain much attention. Unless you do something clever to make something bland appear interesting. Like the artist that makes soft looking pillows out of stone.

Most likely. But, the whole point of art is to be visually appealing, so a beautiful subject matter getting more attention makes sense.

The romanticizing part is stupid. I understand they mean well. And I really get that. But if people feel shy to come clean with their struggles, they might not get the help they need.
I'm fine with criminalizing encouraging people to harm themselves. But posting pictures of your own self harm, I don't think ought to be criminalized.

I don't think we will go extinct. But we will probably reduce in population by orders of magnitude.

Ya, once they get the knowledge, they'd realize what's happening, but it wouldn't affect them in any way other than knowing the fact.
Which would be a pretty freaky fact to know lol.

I need a video that explains to me this formation with a 3d representation, and that explains to me how gravitational lensing has influenced it, as well as a simulation of events leading to this, and after wards. Get on it space scientists!

There are billions different answers to that question, most of which would be that they wouldn't really notice.
They'd just have the sky they have, and think it's totally regular.

Reply to comment by DopeDetective in Survey on 12,000 secondary school-aged students (12-18Y) shows that although many adolescents are spending considerable time gaming (at least 3.5hours/day),it is not having a negative impact on the wellbeing and 44% of ‘heavy’ gamers reported higher wellbeing than those who play less or don’t play by giuliomagnifico
Also, teenagers that play lots of video games might really be having lots of fun. And those that don't, might be studying hard.
And on 10-15 years, the gamers might still be gaming, and they'll be less well off, and have less of a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, and those that didn't game so much, will be happier.
