The PSI is much higher on the coolant. Makes the unit more expensive and require a little more engineering. However it does make it so it can heat things much better. Like bringing water to just below boiling which normal heat pumps don’t do as efficiently/ at all.

I wonder how big of a kinetic redirect satellite you could get up there with starship if that thing gets reliably orbital.

It would be incredible! Though I’m not sure they’d have the density as I think quick growing speeds normally result in a less dense wood. Im not an expert or even novice of any kind with tree husbandry though so just take it as the musings of a random person.

Like combining bamboo growth speeds with anything that absorbs mass amounts of carbon?

Glad I could help. It’s never to early to regulate proper pizza box folding techniques.

Drops pizza onto windshield of car going 70 mph causing 30 car pile up and 5 deaths with several injured. Papa John’s could not be reached for comment.

I’ve been lucky enough that any noisy passengers have been far enough away that my noise canceling headphones have been able to take care of them.

I believe they call it the cargo hold /s

Planes are pretty loud. Plus it’s not like they can stop you from being just as rude and having a 1 way conversation with them.

100%, it’s a horrible way to go. 0 would be the perfect number.

Most rabies isn’t person to person but from wild animals to people. It’d be a great first line of defense but we’re unlikely to eliminate rabies itself.

I’m super envious. Any data caps? Is that 10 up and down? They barely have 1Gbps here in the US.

Highlights
The cognitive sciences have been dominated by English-speaking researchers studying other English speakers.
We review studies examining language and cognition, contrasting English to other languages, by focusing on differences in modality, form-meaning mappings, vocabulary, morphosyntax, and usage rules.
Critically, the language one speaks or signs can have downstream effects on ostensibly nonlinguistic cognitive domains, ranging from memory, to social cognition, perception, decision-making, and more.
The over-reliance on English in the cognitive sciences has led to an underestimation of the centrality of language to cognition at large.
To live up to its mission of understanding the representational and computational capacities of the human mind, cognitive science needs to broaden the linguistic diversity represented in its participants and researchers.
All the above is from the article

Physics. Very energy intensive heating water and the compressed CO2 is better at dealing with the demand to get the water hotter.
