If you wash away the salt deposits, that implies using water and thus generating brine. Brushing the salt away might be better. Main thing would be avoiding losing the salt to precipitation, as the idea seems to be to avoid it returning to the ocean.
Figuring out how to economically purify the salts, including separating out the lithium, would be a neat trick.
If you are upset about LGBT+, well, do you feel that men should be able to have their own preference in women who are blondes, brunettes, redheads, shorter, taller, different body types? How about women having the right to prefer men with a different build, skin tone, etc, are you against THAT? So, people should also have their own preference when it comes to sexuality, like it or not, it's the same exact thing, personal preference in who they are attracted to. Or, do you feel that everyone should have the exact same preferences?
I don't care what your preferred form of sexual friction is....
I just don't want it being flaunted and taught to grade schoolers...they aren't sexual, they don't need to know about boys sucking cocks...
I may not agree with it, but it is a free country and fuck who you want to fuck as an adult, plain and simple.
I don't, however, need to feel forced to play someone else's "games" with pronouns. You can pretend to be a woman or man or poodle, fine with me, but don't expect me to learn or respect the rules of what your pronoun are.....if you are going to be at the fringes of society, it's up to YOU to deal with it, not me.
A big part of "woke" is having to deal with stupid shit like I mentioned above.
Especially exposing kids to it....keep them out of it and allow innocence to survive as long as it can with them.
I'm sure you're familiar with the countdown protocol, all the pre-flight checks, etc. These power up a range of subsystems, motors, etc, so that everything can be verified prior to ignition itself. The complete sequence takes a very long time. Under normal flight conditions, you can't check for absolutely everything (instrumentation is mass, and mass is the enemy) but there's still a lot. However, during an engine test, you can pack a lot more sensors in.
This is where you'd want to be spotting loose connections, pumps that aren't quite even, pressures that aren't as steady as they should be, vibrations that shouldn't be there or do not match expectations, turbulent flows, and so on.
At ignition, it takes between 3-6 seconds to go from stopped to 90% thrust. For humans, that's near-instant. For a computer sensor that's operating a million samples per second, that's 3-6 million readings. A computer performing a billion calculations per second shouldn't have much difficulty in comparing 3 million readings against model predictions and determining if both the values themselves and the rate of change at each point such a sensor exists are all good. Emergency shutdowns during those first 3 seconds are perfectly viable.
Vibrations are the ones that are likely the most interesting, because those are likely to change before something breaks, not sure how fast you can make infrared sensors, but that's also an area where things are likely to alter before point of failure.
Lazy, yes. Bright, no. If you can't trust the average person to figure out that bread that's loaded with salt and sugar isn't healthy, then you can't trust the average person to figure out what a healthy balanced meal is.
The evolutionary pattern was created because food was unreliable and energy demands were unpredictable - but high, due to the large brain. (Possibly larger than it is today, but there seems to be conflicting data there.)
Now, rationing extreme energy foods is certainly one option, but it's not a particularly satisfactory one as the energy demands vary by profession and by time within a profession. You simply can't predict what people will need and there's no way to standardise this.
There is a second option. Intense focus is impossible for beyond about 45-90 minutes at a stretch, or for more than 3-5 hours in a day. Meetings degrade intelligence, according to psychological research, so you want to minimise those. After about 7 hours, work will mostly have negative value. If you increase the amount of high physical activity for at least an hour a day (and potentially longer if the amount of soft work is minimal in the job) then you will improve physical fitness and general health, without having to substantially alter diet. However, that still only gets you so far, because a poor diet still impacts physical and mental health, and can lead to brain decline. (It's a big factor in poor brain health in children in schools.)
A third option, then, is to actually improve meal quality in schools and for workplaces to work with the food industry to provide cheaper/easier access to high quality foods that actually taste good, not merely sensible energy foods. This would seem to be target solution, with in-work exercise to supplement it.
If that turns out to be the case, we get to find out something about what reshaping the brain means.
Whilst that is perfectly true, it is questionable as to whether it is useful or necessary. If a rocket is being tested, then logically it should be heavily instrumented. If it's heavily instrumented, and the instruments are themselves competently designed, there is no obvious reason why the engine can't be auto-cut when problems start to arise. And they will have arisen long long before the explosion.
The values may have independently been "within permitted range", but if the pattern of those values doesn't make sense, then something has gone wrong. There may well also have been subsystems that were insufficiently instrumented.
"They're the experts" is often an irrelevancy - we lost TWO shuttles and crews to political decisions, when the experts on the ground were ignored. DeHavilland lost endless Comets to basically the same blunder, when political decisions by management over the reality of metal fatigue overrode analysis by actual experts. Improper monitoring and inadequate computer controls will be from a burden of costs and time (both political constraints, not engineering constraints). As, indeed, will improperly manufactured parts, improper software (anyone rememebr Arianne IV's mishap due to buggy software?), improperly-defined constraints, and inadequate quality controls.
The experts are usually either well aware of mistakes or afforded no means of detecting them.
I see no reason not to think this was anything other than a management blunder.
They'll make a deal with the king to promote more non woke content.
Well, at least that would still be some progress....
If you're willing to settle for only $30 million, that should be enough to obtain a birth certificate and proof of residency in some remote village.
He told his Ferengi superior that he could keep the latinum.
This raises a very important question. If the CIA are taking shortcuts and making assumptions about anything, we should not be making assumptions ourselves that the CIA aren't doing the same elsewhere. I am, however, still waiting for biolabs and WMDs to turn up in Iraq - something for which they appear to have ALSO taken one person's unsupported word for. They also ratted out their own officers in retaliation for questioning the existence of "yellowcake" (that turned out not to exist).
I'd be wary of claiming there was a pattern, but... They do seem awfully incompetent.
From what I'm seeing these local models can do what about 98% of the populace needs....and you aren't sharing your data with a corporation that is just sucking up all your data into their AI?
It's not because you were born different than me. Your body adapts to however you eat. It responds well to your typical diet because that's what it's used to. If you switch to a different diet there will be a short period of your body being confused and telling you to go back to what it knows. Then it will adapt to the new diet, and you'll find eating healthy food feels great.
I consider my regular diet to be for the most part Healthy!!
My blood work numbers verify this...
I like veggies, I try to eat what's in season, I mix this in with a very LOW carb diet...ditching most all grains and leaning Keto towards the carnivore side of things.
I like to cook and most all I consume is cooked from scratch.
Someone rapes your mother, and the police know who it was (and thus his license), but they don't know where he is.
Are you seriously going to argue "it doesn't matter if we could catch your mother's rapist using new technology"?
No..what matters is they get a fucking warrant to then access any information they want.
They should not just have dragnet type data to they can just look through to find a crime.....they should need probably cause, and get warrants....you know, like the US Constitution says?
Crimes go unsolved every day! Serious crimes
That sucks.
BUT....it is still MORE important to protect our constitutional rights,.....dragnets without specific warrants cannot be tolerated.....
The world is coming to an end ... SAVE YOUR BUFFERS!!!
