It will likely accelerate even more. More adoption increases funds in the sector, making it more attractive.

The calibration part is why I never use it.
If I had a real monitor, I would use that instead anyways.

As long as you trade with counties that do not follow sanctions, you have loopholes. Intentional or not. You knowingly sell through third party or they resell without you knowing.
We need a general ban on high impact goods trade to countries not participating in sanctions.

Normal people 160 words per minute? ~3 words/s. Did they mess up some units?
That's like Eminem level rap speed.

You can't stockpile it either in a factory.
You would need direct feed from plastic manufacturer to your packaging line with no caps, breaks or supply issues.

Isn't the primary problem lack of algae for a mass production scale and low density per unit of volume you need to farm it.
There are countless technologies for alternatives, but they all lack the means to scale up.

What about the yet to be sold tens of thousands of cards? How many of those are broken?
And then end up sending to warranty for 3 months and you pay the post fees if you get a new damaged card.

If you get too strong of a dose, sure you might close the sinus spinxter (?) muscle on instinct.
But that "cool" effect of guns, toothpastes etc is just triggering the receptors with false signals.

Menthol only triggers cold receptors. Same way a cold air would (which may lead to runnier mucus).
Wasabi triggers increased mucus production that could lead to runnier mucus, clearing up some congestion.
None actually reduce the swelling to open up sinuses.

Reply to comment by UnCommonSense99 in Rolls-Royce successfully tests hydrogen-powered jet engine by je97
Hydrogen is 2.8x more energy dense than kerosene for the same unit of mass. But needs four times more volume.
Meaning you actually need less fuel - so it almost negates the increased volume issue. Especially if the efficiency of fuel to thrust is better than fossil fuels.
I believe AirBus is already planning a commercial plane by 2035. So there likely have been developments on how to properly store liquid hydrogen (that eliminates the volume issue). The ZEROe.

It would have more than enough energy density for all domestic flights.

Location also matters, the further away from equator, the worse it gets.
Poor angles, shorter days, longer winters.

It's that or nothing. This is what happens if you have essentially no competition. Two companies is not a competition - it's a mutual jackoff.
The wafer/chip is likely 1/5th of the GPU final price.

If it can stretch, it would likely be quite damage proof if it can just flex instead of rip or crack.
As long as we can deal with scratches, phones would no longer get cracked screens.

Universe is young, human existence is insignificantly short in the cosmic timescale and universe is huge.
Even if advanced life was common, it's too easy to miss. There may be none in this galaxy, but many in trillions of others. We may be a million years too late or a billion years too early.
You are looking for a specific water molecule in the sea.
