“in Thale they were formerly obliged annually to throw a black cock into the Bode [River]; for if they omitted to do so, someone would certainly die within the year”

“among the Votes of Joenpera [in Finland]…before building, the ground would be worked while holding a black rooster by the wings, because it was said evil spirits feared the color black.” Black is a protective, warding color, repelling evil.

Just over the event horizon are strong vacuum fluctuations caused by the strong gravitational field around the black hole, those fluctuation generate particule pairs

for pairs generated at the edge of the event horizon for example an electron positron pair one particule will fall back into the black hole but its anti particule will escape because particule and the anti particule are pointing to opposite directions

The energy for this is supplied by the black hole gravitational potential

Working from home is also becaming a growing trend, i can imagine houses with spaces catering for those

but in my case i'd give something for a connected fully selfdriving caravan, i'd, sell and became a digital nomad

The issue i have with multi directional threadmill floors is how they would deal with two or more people sharing the space

probably it could be build it into the soles of shoes

You mean the rest of the economist are low paid working class?

your link what can cause inflation

mine refer to the actual result when they quantized for the effect of goverment spending

if you found that St lous federal reserve and st Francisco federal reserve studies have no merit, fine point to it

The link i provided refer to that

so the while the case study of St lous federal reserve indicate that goverment spending had little to no effect

On the other hand, modern studies have found that the current link between government spending and inflation may be stronger.In particular, the 2022 inflation spike followed two major federalspending programs under two administrations. The first, the CARES Act, passed in March 2020, while the American Rescue Plan passed in March 2021.Collectively, these initiatives aimed to minimize the economicdevastation of Covid-19 by distributing three stimulus checks, expanding unemployment benefits and providing extra funds to state and local governments.While experts have credited these Acts with possibly preventing a recession, economists have also found that their passage correlates with an unusual spike in inflation. By providing extra capital to American households, economists note, consumers were able to go out and spend money they wouldn’t have had otherwise. In turn, this increased consumer demand, pulling up prices.However, a recent analysis from the San Francisco Federal Reservefound that government spending only contributed to about threepercentage points of today’s inflation. These findings corroborate an October 2021 paper that suggested stimulus checks made inflation slightly worse – but not to the extent we’re seeing now

basically if they are right goverment spending may affect inflation depending on how is been used but is not the cause the main reasons for the current inflation we are seeing

Is more how the profit of our effort has been distributed than how much the goverment spent

And studies show that goverment spending has a weak effect on inflation

The issue with wealth inequality is that a very small percent of the population gets an even bigger increase of the cake and contributing less to the common wealth, ehile the middle classes and the poor see hardly any increase in wealth

like Uncle scrooge said, the hardest part is to make the first million

There are spanish words of arabic, germanic and romance origin... and some of amerindian origin

And that hapens to english french and most modern languages

so is it wrong to say that english language loaned a spanish word which is the version of a word loaned by the spanish from latin, amerindian or german that also those amerindians or germans latins or arabs may had made it theirs being loaned from who knows all the way to ancient languages?

I an amazed, 2021 nasa budget if the internet doesn't lie to me was 25b

Imho the money spent in both space and fusion is worthy but this gives an idea of how little is 35b adjusted for inflation spent in fusion spanning 68 years compared to another endeavours

one wonders what fusion would achieve if they did a Manhattan project of it or sacrifice money as they did like at the beginning of the space exploration and moon landings

Tbh i don't think the case for Mexico is surprising at all

other than sharing a huge border with a big economic power several of the US southern states were part of mexico once, with deep cultural, linguistic and population links so why cross over an ocean?

Nothing that will matters to us in the long term

because there wont be anyone left to tell immediatelly after

have you came across posidon?

There is nothing magic about that technology so likely the US has something like it if they think it useful

Laputa's king is able to control the mainland mostly by threatening to
cover rebel regions with the island's shadow, thus blocking sunlight and
rain, or by throwing rocks at rebellious surface cities. In extreme cases, the island is lowered onto the cities below to crush them

The star is a type K red dwarf if i remember correctly, several of the planets lie in the temperate zone are near earth size and expected to contain large amounts of volatiles (hence atmospheres, possible water...)

a possible issue in such compact system with planets orbiting so close to the star could be solar flares sterilising the nearby planets but who knows trapist 1 contains 7 known planets so i'm sure we will learn something

Since grids need to be maintained and upgraded for a variety of reasons including efficiency lowering overal running costs, maintenance advances such as increasing fault tolerance and reliability and benefits to customers brough by smart grids regardless of energy source used

the same emissions as if they were upgraded without being used with renewable energy in mind but since renewables will be part of the use and replacing polluting sources like coal and the grid more efficient the total annual emissions should be lower compared than currently

who knows, traditional energy suppliers may preffer to pocket the revenues that should had been used to maintain it and keep upgrading it till it roots instead and then claim it is not fit for purpose, at the end of the day those corporations are there to increase shareholders profit let the next CEO and/or tax payer deal with it

You may end with same results but it's not about definition, its the actual event

did an impact (or impacts) flipped the planet 180 degrees or did it made it rotate the opposite direction? We can argue that Uranus ended sidewise 90 degrees so flipping is a compelling possibility but we don't have yet enough data to show a definitive answer

Being hit by something that flipped it upside down is one of several hypothesis for both venus and Uranus, other hypothesis are atmospheric tidal torques along being hit ......etc, etc, so yea there is a chance that something did flipped it upside down and messed its rotation, but we don't know enough yet to confirm the actual cause

Something happened to make the whole planet north roll south so that it ended with what we have now rotating backwards

maybe before its original rotation direction and period was ok

Any claims i make are easily verifiable, also fosil fuel is being subsidized too and so is nuclear

There is a reason why both fosil fuel companies and nuclears invest in renewables...along with everybody else, they are lower risk quicker returns than their own traditional sources

It must give a lot of confidence in nuclears when those that support it need to keep making up claims out of thin air and even setting bots to repeat inaccurate claims in order to promote it

nuclear had 70 years to change the world energy and got nowhere, renewables appeared disrupted the market and are changing the global energy sector at a breakneck pace despite all the opposition and the billions spent in propaganda and political payouts against them

renewables compete and beat fossil fuels handily despite the opposition, if nuclears could never compete against fossils they don't have a shred of chance against renewable energy

A ravishing ever-new place called the Underverse... the promised land - a constellation of dark new worlds.

Hope he doesn't fall on the 70s building trap

A chance to rebuid new is great but not for the sake of new, sometimes we adopt aesthetics and building policies that at the time seem great only to realize years or decades later they were monstrosities

cities need to be designed as liveable spaces for people not as shining glass and concrete traps for for corporations bragging rights

I was wondering if we could develop a general intelligence test that most people would fail and then someone developed an AI that passed it
