That would just kill all life I guess?

How so? Adding an extra electron will increase the repulsion between atoms. Of course each atom may quickly shed the electron as a current.

Pretty sure this would cause most matter to come apart.

IIRC: It was a 3D printed intake using those carbon fiber filaments that aren’t really carbon fiber. However the main failure was the assumption that the intake wouldn’t get hot, but it did.

It seems like it had to charge multiple times?
On a single charge, it can travel up to 40 nautical miles at cruising speed.

I thought so too originally but I ended up enjoy the co-op missions for a while. I’ve moved on since then but it’s been worthwhile for me.
Note that you can play those missions solo, but the game difficulty doesn’t adjust based on number is human players so it’s less efficient.

Unfortunately most of the game mechanics occur in multiplayer. There’s no classes or upgrades available in the campaign.

But there’s really not that much debris. Certain orbits can get packed but there’s plenty of availability. Also stuff in LEO deorbits pretty fast.

It would have to be an experimental aircraft. Someone died recently when they installed a 3D printed intake that melted on their experimental single seater.

- Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded 1 month ago:
I think there’s usually going to be more bouldering gyms just because they’re easier to build.
In general over here in the western US we’ll use rock climbing to refer to both. Usually we’ll just say sport climbing, top rope, lead, to refer to rope climbs.

What region of the world are you in if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve noticed that some people refer to bouldering as separate from rock climbing rather than as a subcategory.

- Comment on What an unprocessed photo looks like 2 months ago:
There are some sensors that have each color stacked vertically instead of using a Bayer filter. Don’t think they’re popular because the low light performance is worse.
- Comment on "Man, I used to beat this level so easily when I was younger..." Me now not realizing I did it on Easy mode 2 months ago:
Some games are just too massive. I don’t usually use step by step guides but I use maps heavily. It’s just not fun to waste time looking for an obscure item.
And I think games have a lot more customizable difficulty these days instead of just one level. Which is a good thing as it makes them more accessible.

Sometimes I want to blow things up and get headshots. So I’ll see if there’s a Call of Duty on sale and just play the single player. It’s rare though, and at the moment my blowing things up itch is being scratched by Space Marine.

It’s hard to get by without driving in Houston. Even if you considered it safe to bike (which it isn’t, the dedicated bike lanes are pretty limited), it’s impossible to avoid the weather. Do you just carry a change of clothes?
I actually used to live in Houston too and had a half mile commute (either bike or run), but still had to drive fairly often. And I consider that a luxury for the city. Otherwise you’re living in the suburbs and commuting for two hours everyday.
I’ve known only a handful of people who’ve tried doing carless in Houston and only one of them long term. And he lived in a co-op so most needs were met in other ways.
