it’s an advanced technique to produce a gliding sound

This guy could suddenly rupture a brain aneurysm and you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.

Dr Becky is an actual astrophysicist (PhD) and her content is great and based on a thorough analysis of published science. Maybe watch the video first next time ?

It works by using the processing power of your device (it can utilize both GPU and CPU) to run scientific calculations when you’re not using it. It can detect if you’re using the device or not and use its processing power accordingly, and you can customize what fraction of your device it can use and when. You can also decide what scientific endeavors (astronomical surveys, protein folding, etc.) are allowed to use your compute power.

That makes BOINC a great way to heat a room in winter provided you’re not annoyed by the eventual fan noises (or if you’re not in the room), since the energy used will also help scientific research at no extra cost for you. This also means that depending on your settings, it can melt a mobile device battery in no time.

Do people really run BOINC on Android ?

Fat is usually stored in the body in the form of triglycerids. When fat is used, it’s usually not turned into glucose, but rather into fatty acids, that are then released in the blood and reach the cells that need extra energy, where they are used by the mitochondria to power said cells. The signaling that triggers this is in fact done by a bunch of hormones that do indeed circulate in the blood to reach the cells specialized in storing fat, called adipocytes.

Depending of what triggers the transformation of fat into fatty acids( a process called lipolysis), those hormones could be insulin, epinephrin, growth hormone, etc.

But aren’t the seas the sharks of the seas ?

You’re probably right, I have edited my comment to reflect this. source

I think it has to do with atmospheric diffusion of the sunlight. Even if the photons coming straight down at you are blocked by the moon, a lot of them bounce around in the atmosphere and end up reaching your eyes. Kinda like when it’s not complete darkness at sunset even after the sun has gone over the horizon. Also explains why the sky is blue, since “blue photons” are better at bouncing around on the atmosphere molecules. See : diffuse sky radiation

Quoting form the Wikipedia article: Approximately 23% of direct incident radiation of total sunlight is removed from the direct solar beam by scattering into the atmosphere; of this amount (of incident radiation) about two-thirds ultimately reaches the earth as photon diffused skylight radiation.

Edit : probably mostly has to do with your eyes adapting to the luminosity and non linearity of light intensity perception by our eyes. See posts below about Weber-Fechner law of perception.

Edit Edit : This is an intersting read. The TLDR is it mostly has to do with our eyes slowly adapting to the amount of light they receive, and during totality, light bouncing from beyond the umbra comes into play.

“McDaniel said it remained “a concern” for her that Pennsylvania could go from recording 260,000 mail-in ballots for Trump’s Oval Office victory in 2016 to 2.6m in 2020.”

Gee, I wonder if something happened in 2020 that had people prefer not to gather in crowded areas. I guess we’ll never know…

English isn’t my first language, but I’d read it more like " the case brought by the corrupt AG" rather than " the corrupt case brought by the AG".

Could you elaborate on why zero-k is better than BAR in your opinion?

As far as I’m concerned you can strike ‘of suicide’ too

I don’t even understand how you end up with tarmac instead of pavement in the type of street pictured in the illustration. I mean isn’t it just faster and easier to put the block of pavement back into the hole it left once you’re done ??

I know that’s probably the case, but some people might not know, and thus not grasp the extra humor.

That’s an actual picture of the OVH data center that burned down.

Well, at least this shows he’s an actual conspirationist idiot, and not only faking it to please the mob while getting secretly vaccinated. So, kudos for the sincerity I guess?

They look like they’re all gonna shoot themselves in the face with a smile on said face.

SmartTube is what the YouTube app should be. I’ve been using it for I think 2 years now and it works like a charm, is super stable, offers loads of customization options, and the interface is better and more complete than the official app. Truly a must have for any Android tv box.
