Since I didn’t know:
“Parasocial” refers to a relationship or connection felt by a person towards someone they do not know personally, typically a celebrity, character in a media, or public figure. This relationship is one-sided, meaning the other person is unaware of the connection.
If the F-35 was made solely out of aluminium, like an equal-mass paperweight, the price of the raw material would be about 0.013 million USD per aircraft. In reality it sells for about 80 million. I doubt it’s price will soar because of the cost of aluminum.
We just let them do it.
Forget avocadoes. I’ve just learned you can ripen mangoes by leaving them by the window in the sunlight for a few days.
You know those green sour crunchy kind they sell at the corner store? They ripen to a beautiful lush aromatic softness.
Ok, so:
Sleep paralysis demons are hallucinations experienced during sleep paralysis, a condition where the body is temporarily paralyzed, often during the transition between sleep and wakefulness.
So what’s the joke here, that for some people the experience is pleasant in a sexually deviant kind of way?
I hope my country stops participating in Eurovision. There’s no saving it.
His theory was the Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity.
Unfortunately:
the quasi steady-state hypothesis is challenged by observation as it does not fit into WMAP data.
I get the impression this is a video-only thing because you need multiple vantage points of the scene. You can still extract a single frame in the end of course (like the article itself does), but you’ll need to shift around meaningful distances, like attack submarines do with Target Motion Analysis.
That’s 25 attoseconds, no?.. If so, that’s impressive.
The power record holder right now is the Măgurele laser in Romania, at 10 PW, but it lasts a thousand times longer, at 25 femtoseconds I believe. I can’t find clear info on pulse duration anywhere. They do intend to decrease pulse durations it seems.
I think “blitzkrieg” matches somewhat: don’t stop to engage every stronghold, just drive around them, isolate them, and cut off their support networks.
That’s the longest time I’ve ever heard someone take to build up a comeback. Be on your guard!
This doesn’t make sense to me. The ultimate value of shares is in the dividends they represent, no? If there are no dividends ever, what are they sharing in? Is it just a postponement until future dividends? A share in control of activities?
I get that there’ll be speculation that will keep values increasing, and selling can net a profit, but what does the last share-holder get?
Twitter links get a downvote from me, sorry.
In Soviet America, a wrong turn takes your life.
Disagree. Just because luck saved your ass doesn’t mean what you did wasn’t stupid.
Winning a round of Russian Roulette doesn’t make you a genius.
Feeding money to Russia was madness and had to be stopped as a priority. Nothing ridiculous about it.
a chewing gum made from lablab beans, Lablab purpureus—that naturally contain an antiviral trap protein (FRIL)—to neutralize two herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and two influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2). The chewing gum formulation allowed for effective and consistent release of FRIL at sites of viral infection.
They demonstrated that 40 milligrams of a two-gram bean gum tablet was adequate to reduce viral loads by more than 95%, a reduction similar to what they saw in their SARS-CoV-2 study.
Vaccines turned me into a newt!
Hey, I think I’ve seen you before! Didn’t you play in the “look at all those chickens” movie? Love your work.
