And a neat DIY project.
That voting is done in a way that a person's job can interfere like that, let alone to that extent, is disgraceful and should frankly be illegal.
That's what really gets me. More than 6 million people* who voted for Biden chose not to vote for Harris.*around 6.8M net, but probably higher as presumably some people did vote for Harris who hadn't for Biden (such as becoming old enough to vote) which I assume to be larger number than the number of people who had voted for Biden but couldn't vote for Harris, for example if they died in the time between.
Something's flat out wrong there no matter how you slice it. If you round up the percentages from the last election to fit the entire population it would be 48% and 50% (rounded a little). If the number of votes in relation to the total adult US population, 27% and 28%. By registered members to total adult population 17% and 13%, and by registered members to all adults registered with political parties in the US 55% and 42%. Nothing matches.
I once heard that a IAEA inspector is supposed to have said that if ever confronted with what looked like such a centrifuge that they'd just touch part of the interior. The oils from their hand would permanently ruin the balance - no amount of cleaning would be able to restore it to functionality again.
which is utterly past any materials we can frankly even imagine.For the latter, things would get Weird (because gyroscopes) and would in a way more change the axis of Earth's rotation... and would again need similar masses at a fair bit of speed. It's not happening anytime soon.
Back to the centrifuge bit, there's two options: either rotating it such that it counteracts the Earth's rotation directly, or setting it up as a gyroscope. For the former, it would only affect things so long as it's turning - the moment it comes to a stop the Earth's rotation should be as it was before. To compare to the TGD you'd need something in at least the millions of tons range (TGD reservoir contains at max around 39 billion tons of water)
This is a really non-trivial thing to answer. _Technically_ any and every centrifuge impacts the earth's rotation, just not to a point that even calculating it makes any sense. For that matter, while the effects of the TGD have been calculated (slowing a day by 0.06 microseconds, or 6e-8 seconds, or to 99.99999999993056% of what it was before), we have not measured that. Over the last 50 years a day has become 2500 microseconds shorter for various reasons, which is a different ballpark entirely.
Centrifuges capable of up to 100,000g are almost a century old now. What's important with this one is the sample mass (and size) that it can handle, up to around 32 tons. Which, at 1900g, would be like trying to hold up a weight of around 60 thousand tons... just a bit more than the weight of an Iowa-class battleship.
Very unlikely for that to be the use in this case. The centrifuge here has two large arms, which allows for larger samples to have relatively uniform acceleration but need to be stopped to add/remove anything, while afaik uranium centrifuges are relatively thin cylinders that allow for adding new material and removing (semi-)separated material continuously, as well as having vastly higher g-forces (like, hundreds of thousands of g).
Probably, but a shorter remaining lifetime is still longer than no remaining lifetime. My main concern is that I don't know if a fire might not become a possibility (a very very small one I'd assume, but you don't mess around with fires).
Yes and no. The goal is to attempt to complete a 50k+ word manuscript, to a point as a brainstorming exercise to get a full draft down, to then be edited later. Of course, doing a full, complete, edited novel isn't ruled out, and planning and notes are permitted.

Aw man can you imagine how awesome that must feel
I can imagine that with a chair where you can adjust the height you can also get to that perfect height for your arms compared to the band to make swiping quicker and easier (while only somewhat similar I much prefer to chop food and stuff while sitting as having to lean over while standing to do it properly is murder on my back).
Considering it supports the best aspects of jpeg, png, and gif all in one format, while generally taking less memory than them? Yep. Support for it isn't even that rare for apps anymore, Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, Krita, and quite a few others introduced support for the format in the last few years.
Second guessing what you believe is correct is kinda key to science as a whole. Not reevaluating knowledge in the face of contradicting information/evidence is a serious problem as well.
Most but not all, especially some with filled crusts behave _very badly_ if you don't have something to keep them in the right shape underneath.
Every programmer maintaining a date/time library just looked at you with unbridled horror.
I mean, that's exactly what I'm referring to.
There's a lot cities can do to tackle both, in this case street/city design that encourages slower, more attentive driving, has better delineated boundaries between street and sidewalk (it's really just one giant grey surface here, with a tiny bump in between), requires less crossing to begin with (zoning so destinations don't as often require crossing to get to), better/more regular crosswalks (there's none in view in any of the shots here, at a _bus stop_?), etc. And punish drivers who fuck up
Er, the above all with allowing those sorts of traffic while restricting others. Emergency services alone are a strong reason to not kill off _all_ driving.
Also the design of the sides of the road. In this case there's very little delineation between road and sidewalk - it's all hostile to humans. Put in some trees, small barriers of grass/bushes, etc, rather than have the sidewalk transition almost without change into the road itself which gives pedestrians the feeling that they're not actually moving from one (safe) environment into a different (unsafe) one.
It would still massively reduce the amount of traffic on the roads. Combine it with street design that strongly encourages/requires drivers to drive at 20mph/30kph (while also being alert), regulations that encourage lighter vehicles with shorter braking distances, etc and you get very safe side roads. For main, arterial roads, use zoning such that people rarely have to cross in the first place, crossovers at the places where it's suitable, and discourage crossers by again road design.
