  1. Yes. Just 2 is not enough, you need something else as a co-2. Who is "w" of "co-w"?
  2. 1. The output car acceleration has the only input value in your example, the pedal angle. For example, you can get hot from different reasons: by having the window opened too long; by having the window closed too long; by reading financial news; by talking to somebody; by taking a medicine; by sitting on a stove; etc. Various reasons, same result. If you are sitting on the switched off stove, and reading financial news under the opened fly in cold weather, there are several reasons at once. The stove is obvious, but unreal (as it's off). The news and the cold air from the fly can make you hot both, try to guess what will be first. 2. A teslacar doesn't care, what are you doing to the controls. If you are sitting on the rear seat and turning a toy wheel, the car turns simultaneously to your playing, but is not caused by it at all.
  3. It does have a reason to do drop the ballast. And as they have done it, the hull was definitely intact when they had noticed that something is not right. So, the problem wasn't in the hull. Probably something what affected its structural integrity. A hit, an explosion, a fire. At the foursome Venusian pressure there are only two states of the hull: 1 and 0. So, the ballast equipment was intact before the hull was crushed.
  4. Granted. See you later. Much later. Due to relativism. I wish to own a neutron star.
  5. No, because of gluten. Do the gluons contain gluten?
  6. 1. Still no signs that the hull was a problem, rather than something insde. If the ballast had been dropped, it's definitely not due to the hull leaks. This tells that the hull was intact. 2. If the craft is a technological prototype of a mass-produced deepwater submersible, the militaries would be ok with the risk, as it had performed several divings. Especially, since the company is based in Everett, WA, at the navy base. Something related to this, but made of cheap carbon snots. So, not the hull is what to look at. Probably, the hull was the most innocent part of that. Something went wrong inside.
  7. On the mini-submersible hype wave. Triton subs. https://topwar-ru.translate.goog/171876-sverhmalye-podlodki-semejstva-triton.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://masterok-livejournal-com.translate.goog/1450096.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://ru-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Подводные_лодки_проекта_908_«Тритон-2»?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://pikabu-ru.translate.goog/story/podvodnaya_lodochka_10346692?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp
  8. None. The adepts of the book above call it "base and superstructure" (and it's the case when this is not wrong). The "base" is economical and manufacturing basement of society, the "superstructure" is its ideological/religious/etc. wrapper. One can't have an ideology/religion/etc. which is not supported by the available resource base. One can declare it, but it will get deformed and turn into something corresponding to the technological reality. You can declare "for everything good, against everything bad", but if there is only one well in a desert, hardly sufficient even for your family, this will be an empty declaration. A war is based on the economical base, the ideological superstructure is a wrapper for it. We'll SETI them, too, and their closest Union members will help them. P.S. The key principle is dividing into "we" and "not we". "Are they enough we, to treat what they own as being already ours, and care about them as about ourselves?" The ideological superstructure just provides the distinction criteria.
  9. We can upgrade the SETI equipment to send them messages. Not those stupid childish pictures, of course, but serious literature. Thus we'll explain them that capitalists exploit their proletarians, and this is very wrong, Their proletarians will rise, defeat the exploiters, and join the Communist Union of the Multiverse.
  10. Banned for feeding the cats with ramen instead of rumen, which they want.
  11. If tie Magneto to a waterwheel, it would be a magnetohydropowerplant.
  12. Granted. The air conditioning system in your openspace office is off. Survive! I wish for a dish.
  13. "correlates with" doesn't necessary mean "caused by" it can be just "both are caused by the same reason, but not necessary correlate each other directly"
  14. *** I believe, they should continue the (I believe, just for a while) abandoned Martian colony experiment. As you can see, it's just the place to study space. A compact, very sleek design, exactly right what they need on Mars. A natural and cheap, local materials. A robust geometry, no fancy stuff from modern hipsters, only the strong, conservative design. The reliability, proven by decades of practical experience. Walls for men, not for chickens. Have you read The Martian, where they were living in soft balloons, peeing from fear a full spacesuit, every hurricane? Forget that delusion. THIS is what a Martian colony should be. The honest, solid, heavy stone. There is a flat concrete landing pad for the hoppers. A light beacon, to navigate in a Martian dust storm. A water collector. The underground infrastructure, tunnels, storehouses. A real isolation. Nobody can disturb the crew here. A little bit cramped, but totally realistic design of the crew apartments. Accurately reproduced interiors and dimension of a real interplanetary ship and extraplanetary base. No Holy Wood fake palaces. The water and sewers management system, constructed in highest attention to the details. Highly ergonomic and effetive design, recommended by its testers. "All you need on Mars, Mars... All you need on Mars!" See, every room is connected to the life support systems. Theoretically, you can reach Saturn and return back, without leaving your room, in case of propulsion failure. Pay attention to the safety lattices everywhere. The designers were always keeping in mind, that it is designed for zero-g or low-g. So, you won't fly away if something happens, the lattice will stop you long before you can get high speed. (Do you see? These wonderful lattices are just everywhere! Feel free to attach a tether of your spacesuit, grab them with hand, or do whatever else you need.) Additionally, you can use the lattice as railings and stairs, to move in the low-g environment. The daily life of Martian crew. Clean showels, fresh papers (to read them, too), meditation rooms. Attention to the low-gravity needs. Here, on Earth, these stairways would be bloody uncomfortable. But at 1/3 g that's what you need. Space food. Notice the tube in the hand. That's to prevent the liquids from floating around. Experimental low-g chickens from ISS, and horsecrab smoothie (the blue). Everything is lightweight, ergonomic, designed for space. The longest known experiment was performed by Mr. Karpis. He had spent in this space emulator twenty six years, what is enough to reach Uranus by Hohmann trajectory.
  15. Granted. You don't. But it still exists. I wish you didn't make me make a pun about that, by adding the letter "p" in this word. Now I'm puzzled, what are tetraphedron, hexaphedron, octaphedron, icosaphedron, and yes, dodecaphedron. Sounds like something antique.
