All that orange smoke indicates it had hypergolic fuel onboard, which is toxic

A Chinese show has already been released and an American one is releasing on Netflix soon. The Chinese version can be streamed on Viki. I’m about 1/3 of the way through (30 episodes) and I’m absolutely loving it. They don’t dumb down any of the details with the science and is staying very true to the books so far. You just have to be willing to watch a subtitled show

I’m happy to be surprised but I doubt I’ll like the US version as much. Nearly every US book adaptation I’ve watched has been dumbed down “for a wider audience” and changed quite substantially (looking at you, Silo and Beacon 23). This is also coming from D and D of GoT infamy, so we’ll see if they can turn their track record around. At least this book is finished so they have the entire source material to work with

Too many bugs, not quite vegan

Do you remember the model number? I’d be curious to look into it

Pretty sure everyone knows that the power setting on the microwave just changes the duty cycle of the magnetron. I’ve never seen a microwave specify wattage when selecting power, usually 1-10 or 1-100, no lies involved. What it does is allows the heat more time to evenly distribute through your food while cooking with the same amount of energy. That super hot bowl and tepid soup won’t have as much of a difference when it takes twice as long to cook. Hot spots don’t get a chance to get as hot. Psychologically it’s easier too because let’s be honest, no one’s waiting 5 minutes after that timer goes off for the heat to settle

Only one if it’s bad enough to break skin and gets infected. Or you could also imagine someone stubbing their toes so often and badly that they lose all 10 toes and survive, can’t stub your toe anymore if you don’t have any

Only took it once, I don’t know anyone personally that took it more than once. If there’s a minimum wait time it would be posted in your state’s policies, but I’d guess they’ll take your money for the second test as soon as you want the too

Overhydration is a rare but fatal condition that occurs when someone consumes too much water, leading to an electrolyte imbalance. As little as 1 liter an hour can cause this condition. Distilled water has the highest chance of causing this condition with little to no benefit other than taste. Taste preferention is also uncommon as we’ve generally evolved to seek out mineral-rich water

Red is light at the 480 THz range. Blue is light at the 670 THz range. I think that’s perfectly described using terms of the physical world. If you’re talking about “what we experience as color” as being difficult to describe in our consciousness, then sure but that’s the case for every single thing we experience. Same way I can describe the musical note A as 440 Hz. Does an A to you sound the same to me? My tongue is sensing a sugar molecule, does the experience of tasting it feel the same to you?

Not a single human perception can be described in words, but we can all compare perceptions to other perceptions and agree on the same answer. Perceptions are simply us recognizing patterns in our environment. Red is me recognizing my eyeball is looking at an object reflecting light in the 480 THz range. You look at that red ball and you also recognize it as reflecting light at 480 THz. Does it need to be described any further?

Dasani and Smart Water have high salt to mineral content, they’re my favorite brand of bottled water. Pure water tastes bad and is actuality dangerous to drink regularly
