- Comment on The artificial gravity generators never seem to get destroyed in space battles. 19 hours ago:
Indeed.
Total energy available is higher, but that reaction produces radiation as the primary product. Radiation is difficulty to properly direct.
Fusion (aneutronic) produces the bulk of the energy as charged particles, which we can direct with magnetic or electric fields.
- Comment on The artificial gravity generators never seem to get destroyed in space battles. 1 day ago:
To be fair; if you could build a fusion torch and fully direct the flow; aneutronic fusion fits the bill; the thrust numbers they are using are not crazy.
You would use stupid amount of fuel to get that much delta-v; but with advanced reactors using readily available fuel sources…maybe not an issue.

- Comment on A happy consequence should be called a prosequence 2 weeks ago:
Fair, antecedent is usually referring to a singular event/trigger.
Also 100% on board with GIF ignoring the original authors intent.

That is the “antecedent”,

I remember trying to play online quake in the 90’s, I live in new Zealand… We had dial up, my latency was around the 5s mark. I have up pretty quick.
If I wanted to play multiplayer games, it was taking my desktop computer to a friends house, connecting them together with 10Mb BNC networking, and don’t forget the 50ohm terminators.
A friend spent a week trying to download the original pirated version on XP, the couple of hundred meg file would get stopped for various reasons.
I have my full name as a gmail account, I got it as soon as it possible. firstname.lastname@gmail.com

Well…a single mitocondrion is not really a powerhouse of anything except really simple single celled organisms.
The number of mitochondria in a cell vary widely by organism, tissue, and cell type. A mature red blood cell has no mitochondria, whereas a liver cell can have more than 2000.
It would be more correct to say “are the powerhouse of the cell”.

So if someone was to hypothetically label an image in a blog or a article; as something other than what it is?
Or maybe label an image that appears twice as two similar but different things, such as a screwdriver and an awl.
Do they have a specific labeling schema that they use; or is it any text associated with the image?
