Hydrogen Central: "DOE announces $4 million for improving hydrogen turbine performance and reducing hydrogen-based energy costs.. [DOE announced] funding to advance the development of ceramic-based materials to improve the efficiency of hydrogen-fueled turbines that may one day be used in clean power plants.

Specifically, this R&D will enable operation at 150 degrees Celsius (°C) higher than current CMC technology and 450 °C higher than existing nickel-based materials allow, while reducing the amount of cooling air required"

Well if value of NFT art is its direct connection to the true originator, then second, third resale would have no meaning, in digital realm. With a real Picasso painting, the connection to the originator is through the hard painting itself.

AFP: "NFT of first-ever tweet a dud in online auction. The highest offer so far is just shy of $10,000 -- a year after it was bought for 2.9 million dollars."

Hot molten magma

Magma goes as high as 1600 C and is liquid so we know high temp allows liquids. The sun surface is 5600 C. Easy experiment, take frozen lava pieces, heat them up to 5600 and see if they become "plasma".

If the sun is not gaseous a lot of the theories on the Universe are FUKKED

Calc assumed known distance between Sun and the Earth, known period of revolution, the constant $G$ (already known from experiment, not through reworking same equation). Sun's distance, volume could be estimated optically or now through spacecraft having actually traveled there. We then calculate mass, divide by volume, obtain density.

Water's density is 1 $g/cm^3$. Sun's estimated density 1.41 $g/cm^3$, greater. So not less dense than solid or liquid.

Oh yeeeaaa

[-]

Then if we can prove the sun is more dense, say than water, do we sprove the Sun is not plasma?

I see, less dense..

"Like gases, plasmas.. are less dense than solids or liquids"

The sun is plasma some say

[facepalm]

PBS: "[2020] Astronomers still don’t know exactly what the sun is made of.. It's not just the true nature of dark matter that eludes them; so does the essence of the stars that speckle the sky and populate the many galaxies throughout the cosmos. Surprisingly, no one knows the stars' exact chemical composition: how many carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms they have relative to hydrogen, the most common element"

Inner/outer bickering is not a mere extension of a "post-WWII order". China was on the winning side then (notice the seat at the UNSC), but they are now the competition. After the fall of the Berlin Wall Russia transitioned into free markets, democracy, yet they still had NATO crawling up their ass. No the reason for the animosity is beyond the so-called spread of freedom. Russia could be a bastion of democracy tomorrow, they would still not be accepted as an ally.

Asking ppl for up and down vote on representatives, fine. Asking on policy, not fine.

"In an unusual step, Mexico president asks voters if he should go"

Excessive love for immigration, wanting open-borders is likely a deluded by-product of rabid liberalism with its focus on individuality.. To them the immigrant is 'expressing his/her individuality' by choosing to emigrate to a liberal country like the US. They want to fight for the immigrant just like they fight for people's inalienable rights abroad and topple governments in their name (which actually benefit oil and arms manufacturers but hey it's the thought that counts). However such free love creates a point of contention with traditionally left-leaning labor as more people increase competition for wages. Cesar Chavez, a Hispanic union leader did not support open borders.

Another advantage of ranked-choice system over the two-round approach; TRS cuts off the next round candidates at two. With RCS the third candidate close to the second (and the first) might have shot up with the help of people's 2nd, 3rd level choices. It's unlikely but possible.
