I predict the same for the enhanced games. There is not much to win for competitors in the games outside the event. Except for some sellers of questionable supplements, there are probably not many wanting to advertise with steroid-pumped up people, and there are not many other events they can start in. They have to earn all their money with the enhanced games. That means you only get second-level people competing, which will turn the show into some kind of Survivor set on a track and field court.

The article even mentioned the relationship. When laminar flow turns into turbulent flow, aerodynamic drag increases. Turbulent flow in turn is what we hear as noise. You can also reason that noise is acoustic energy, and that noise is a parasitic load on the action we want the fan to do: moving air from one side to the other side.

Doping was done under medical supervision before. It still was not safe. Florence Griffith-Joyner and Marco Pantani both were doped in hospitals, and Eufemanio Fuentes was a physician whose speciality was doping. Being from Europe, I know more of the European side of doping, including the death of Birgit Dressel, who was a patient of University teacher Armin Kluemper.

Submission + - CERN Open Sources Its KiCad Component Libraries

ewhac writes: CERN, a long-time Open Source pioneer, has made several contributions over the years to KiCad ("KEE-kad"), an Open Source EDA (Electronic Design Automation) package widely used in the hobbyist and professional electronics communities. It's gotten so widely used that users can now submit their KiCad design files directly to several electronics fabricators (rather than the traditional step of converting the layouts to Gerber files). Over the years, CERN have also developed their own symbol and footprint libraries to support their own internal electronic designs. Last week, CERN released those KiCad component libraries, containing over 17,000 symbols, under the CERN Open Hardware License (permissive version).

Welcome to the all-new eStop! We know you have concerns, so let us put them to rest straight away.

The site will not change. We respect the investment you've made in learning and navigating the site. However, if you're feeling curious or adventurous, feel free to check out our [new site design prototype]. (This design will become the default landing page in mid-2027; the old site UI will enter maintenance mode for only the most critical bugs.)

To thwart LLMs and other bots, new default limits on bidding have been imposed. Accounts may only bid on a given item no more frequently than once every 20 minutes. If your circumstances require more frequent bidding, have a look at our [eStop Pro Membership Plan] for only $9.95/month (billed annually; no pro-rated refunds), which will allow unlimited bidding frequency. And for members who want to have more than 20 items on sale simultaneously, take some time to review our [eStop Bulk Vendor Programs], charging only 25% of gross sales, or $3600/year + 20% of gross sales.

And to help with "doomscrolling" for that one specific thing you're looking for, we've also partnered with Anthrop\c and X's Grok to help curate your buying experience, surfacing the items most likely to interest you.

No one disputes that things may not work for you as they work for me. I don't have a car at all, and I am pretty sure that does not work for most other people. But in general, an EV might work for you because the reasons you cite might not really be valid, but based on misconceptions. And if someone who has experience with EVs tells you that you might not judge correctly, because you assume things about EVs you should not easily assume, you could try to listen instead of feeling attacked. It might be that in the end, you are really not a good fit for an EV (neither am I, hence no car at all), but it would probably not be for the reasons you think.

Thatâs actually not what they are saying, but what you like to understand. Instead, they point out that EVs behave differently than internal combustion engine cars, and criteria which are fine for the later donât match nicely with EVs. Instead of profiteering from the experience and knowledge of EV owners, you prefer to feel personally attacked. So be it.
