It dissolves in water, so you can also just let things soak for a while. Glue stick is made of the same polymer that people use to print dissolvable support material.

Glue stick washes off in about 30 seconds. I wouldn’t want to use it all the time, but for just 1 part it won’t inconvenience you very much.

The ti-84 plus is based on the zilog z80. From 1976. The calculator is still being made, and still costs $100.

Better calculators just use floating point math with a few tricks on top to pretend it isn’t floating point math.

I was thinking about this a bit yesterday and I think the most feasible way would be to suspend a glass sheet above the lake, and then give people harnesses with magnets on the top that attach to magnets on the other side of the glass sheet. Then just put ball bearings on both sides to reduce friction.

You could try to use magnetism or something tho, although that means you’d only be able to walk on specially prepared lakes

Unless there’s force coming from somewhere other than buoyancy, you can’t get better than than 1.29 kg per cubic meter of lift in air at stp.

Well, air weighs a little bit more than 1 kilogram per cubic meter, and those balloons look a little bit smaller than a cubic meter

The theoretical best lift from a balloon that size is about 1 kg I would estimate

Well, if we used a pure vacuum, you’d only get about 17% more efficiency than just using helium I think

Any amount of water contact introduces a fair amount of drag. There may be an ideal point somewhere in the middle, but I think if you take this to it’s natural conclusion you get a zeppelin.

I did a little bit of math and I think that to lift the payload capacity (including fuel and crew) of a modern day Panama canal ship you would need about a tenth of the peak U.S. helium reserve (a cube about half a kilometer long on each edge, about 1.3x longer than the long dimension of the ship)

I don’t think you’d get the best fuel efficiency going upwind lol

Anything smaller would come with proportionally less downsides and at least proportionally less benefits. I doubt it could ever be a net positive in any useful metric.

There’s also fedora kde

don’t worry about performance, GHz will always go up

TF2 devs lol

This is slightly misleading. Even if you can’t achieve “agi” (a barely defined term anyways) it doesn’t mean AI is a dead end.

It looks closer to the markdown style of formatting though, and I doubt it has page formatting, or other more advanced formatting, or extensions, or a large selection of fonts. Honestly, even though docs has pageless formatting now, most people don’t use it when they should, making everything unnecessary harder to read, so this will be better in that regard at least. This is probably good enough for 95% of what people use Docs for, but I wouldn’t call it a replacement.

I haven’t used it because I don’t have a French government account, so correct me if I’m wrong about any of that.

Edit: it looks like it only has 1 font and no page formatting

I think it means half less than 5, or 4.5

Maybe you’d say “half until 5” in english

Servo is another wip web browser, managed by the Linux foundation’s European branch. It’s a little less far along but is making relatively quick progress now. Apparently discord already mostly works, with sending messages currently being a problem.

Idk if the tech for 3d printers is really more complex. All of the parts are readily available, basically nothing needs to be specially made except the hot end (one single metal part)

The consumer experience for 2d printers worse IMO but that’s probably because I’m stuck on Windows with its terrible printing system

Apparently (according to some random comment on Reddit where this was posted) this was written by an organization called “Third Way”, that doesn’t actually have influence in the government or either political party

A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
