I mean. If it is, I do get it. I’m aware that the whole point of the video is to compare, but at the same time. I’m not really the most well-versed in this sort of thing.

So. it’s a bit difficult for me to properly wrap my head around the sheer disparity of the volumes of both food, so I just wanted to make sure.

Not sure if the wording is right but didn't want to make a walltext title, the point is: making a parabolic mirror is still consumption, but once you have it that's a literal 0 emissions from heat. How long (let's say hours of gently simmering) would it take to balance the emissions for building it, compared to not building but still using a regular induction plate or gas stove?

(yeah, I know the energy mix makes a difference for induction, choose what you want)

For context, this was found under an Instagram video of a nuclear engineer reacting to a low poly shorts video. Curious to see what the math looks like for this proposed situation!

Can anyone shed some light on the truth of these numbers

By u/aircooledJenkins

Saw this and now am genuinely wondering how fast you'd need to drive.

There is probably a bunch of digitial archives or something for universities or researchers, like Encyclopedias or Britannica's. But my first thought was "how about downloading the entirety of wikipedias database?"
So i suppose thats my secondary question too.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, I think this sub fits best, but I also didn't see the same request in the subs history.

Thank you.

I was playing ark last night and tamed a Maewing, it was the first Maewing I've tamed and it seemed absurdly fast, crossing the ocean of Fjordur in a couple seconds, so I was curious as to how fast a Maewing actually is and how crazy the G-forces would be turning on one, I'm not knowledgeable enough to even estimate the first question. (Edit) According to this post, https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/s/iQLwbEncOQ it's top speed is 248 miles per hour.

I was in a discussion with a co-worker about the lottery. He plays once a week and has for a number of years. I mentioned that I didn't. He said he always plays the same numbers every week, not because they're lucky, but because he believes that playing the same numbers every week somehow increases his odds of winning. I couldn't get any sort of rational explanation for this and I tried to explain to him that because every lottery drawing is from all the possible numbers available in the drawing, he has the same possibility of winning regardless of the numbers that he plays. Only if he bought more than one ticket with different sets of numbers, in any one drawing, did he actually increase his chance of winning. He refused to believe that I was right and he was wrong. Neither of us really has the math to justify our opinions. Can someone help prove me right?

if I was sailing my boat from East to West in the ocean and during the sunset, at which speed I should sail to maintain a perpetual sunset in front of me ?

Please help! It's too much simple math for me and we are extremely broke. I can't afford to go on a wild goose chase.

About ten miles away there is a back road that is downright littered with empty pint beer cans like bud lite and Miller lite. (I drive this way every day as a school bus driver.) I drive a 2009 Ford Explorer, and the reading is that I get about 18 miles per gallon. Gas at its lowest in the last month is about $3.44 per gallon, but high end a week ago was $3.81 a gallon. I was thinking of parking and collecting cans every quarter mile, then driving farther. The road itself is about two miles long, and there are literally thousands of cans in various states of decay, and I'm not sure if aluminum loses weight in the Texas heat over time. Let's say they have been thrown out and have been collecting in the ditch over the past eight months. I want to use the 18 gallon kitchen trash bags to collect. I called the recycling place closest to me, about 15 miles away, and they said they are paying $0.60 a pound for aluminum cans. I hope that is enough information, and we're broker than broke and need all the money we can get.

So my questions are:

1. How much can I realistically carry inside my Ford Explorer

2. How much does a bag of cans weigh if they are intact and not crushed (this place doesn't accept crushed cans because they are harder to cube)

3. What the profit is per bag overall

4. Using the profit per bag and carrying capacity of my car, what the profit is for the low end and high end gas price?

I'm sorry this if this is too much to really work on. I'm just very desperate right now.

Assume they must sleep and eat and that they can begin counting at age 2.

Any guesses? This “era” being the last 25 years?

Curious if this is as unlikely as it seems at first glance.

Had repost to fix the tag.
