I'm fairly sure you can collapse most UI elements though.

While it is true that exercise itself does not make you spend much energy, doesn't strength training build additional muscle which in turn makes you need more energy to maintain that muscle, so you increase your basal metabolic rate? S

They don't just "bounce away", some of its quarks turn into different ones through interactions, and that is enough to class that process as a decay. Also, quarks can't bounce away from each other. Lone quarks do not and

If you enable nested virtualization in your host and shove Valorant in a VM with Hyper-V (through what I believe is a feature in Windows, but forgot the name) Valorant should actually run. Or at least it did a few months ago, not sure if it

Officials are probably more educated than the general populace, since they almost always need a university degree, but enlisted personnel might even be high school dropouts, so I wouldn't trust any regular soldier to be humble and re

Of course there is. It's vital to check your calculations in some way or another, and cross checking with other humans that know what they're doing ought to yield the correct answer eventually. I suppose this is mostly useful if y

Sure, the stuff in the tray goes away, but Wine is not a sandbox. Software can still look into your filesystem and processes. You need Flatpak for proper sandboxing.

Luminosity is the number of particles (in the LHC's case, protons) flowing per unit area and unit time. Additionally, integrated luminosity is luminosity integrated over time, and is just the number of events produced per unit area.

You clearly didn't think your comment through. Let's say it's your first time cooking. If you have no idea how much of each ingredient you should add, how in the world are you supposed to make a decent meal? I personally fudg

That is not quite true. Miners that know what they're doing will undervolt their cards in order to improve power efficiency, which makes cards run cooler and at lower power.

A bigger problem in getting power from fusion is dealing with the resulting neutrons. You can't redirect them out the exhaust, so it's energy you've lost (unless you harness the thermal power of the reactor rather than straig

> If you're traveling at 10 m/s as you go out of the gravity well you go faster and faster because time speeds up, but your velocity per unit time stays the same. You seem to be confusing coordinate time with proper time. The t

Why not just use a separate program? I personally use Syncthing to sync my notes, among other things. It's peer to peer, doesn't even need an internet connection if your devices are on the same LAN.

Well, now that I think about it, our chemical propulsion requires an oxidizer, and judging by how this works, this doesn't need one. So by using this method they cut down on the oxidizer mass, which is something fairly significant. Not

Maybe you should start with understanding non relativistic quantum mechanics before understanding QFT. QFT's only a small jump from QM, more or less. As well as understanding classical field theory and Noether's theorem. There are

I don't understand why you're getting snagged up on in QFT, I've recently done a course on that and it wasn't that complicated, though that's if and only if you've studied or at least understood the algebra of

Being kind or not doesn't affect the quality of their software. If anything, I'd say they're strongly opinionated, something that seems to be in very short supply these days, and at times it's something to appreciate and

Seeing is not the same as detecting. Can you call radioastronomy "seeing" when you can't see radio waves at all? Gravitational waves are even more "unseeable" in this respect.

Miners didn't move to better cards, they moved to ASICs. Once the currency is too hard for a consumer GPU to mine, miners move to specialized hardware which is far better at mining. When mining gets even harder, the only way it can be

That only really happens on laptops, which can't dissipate as much heat as desktop systems due to size constraints. On a desktop, if you're using even AMD's stock cooler, you won't thermal throttle. That is, if you don&#

They're both points of equilibrium; Lagrange points are both stable (like a ball rolling in a half-pipe) and unstable (like a pencil standing on its tip) equilibriums. A stable equilibrium means that when an object in that point is dis
