It's a Campbell's canned tomato soupetchup for lazy cooks. Please, eat faster, we need the can back for your acorn coffee. Waiter! Why does this coffee smell like a civet poop?

+1 In Russian it's also "nonsymmetrical" instead of more official "asymmetrical" for some reasons.

Here we have a description of the famous shield of Achilles. https://poets.org/poem/iliad-book-xviii-shield-achilles and one of its implementations. This is what they roll when playing. It's a tabletop game with world map and dice. They were playing D&D, and Achilles ordered a premium game board engraved on his shield. That's why Achilles didn't care about Helen of Troy. Who needs that dull gal when you have such wonderful game props. That's why brave Achilles was hiding between the girls to avoid the Troy war. He was game addicted. That's why Achilles got that horribly mad when Patrocles was killed, and the Trojans captured the Achilles' armor. Who wouldn't be? They stole the premium game board and killed the league member. What should Achilles after that do except destroy Troy. Khe, a wordplay , "destroy Troy".

On the nth day of Christmas, Jebediah gave to me...

On the 9th day of Christmas, like the entire week before, Jebediah Kermann keeps working because he hates the idleness. -
Banned for ignoring the obviously explained.

Gyroscopic Compass
kerbiloid replied to xstarlin's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
NavBall is the hyrocompass. It doesn't depend on magnetic field, illumination, radiation, or anything else. It just indicates your orientation in a fixed co-ordinate system, exactly what is an ideal hyrocompass purpose. The hyroscopes just provide this functionality irl. -

If there is a confusion, there should be a confission.

If they need to remove Eywa, why not just aim a Venture star at it, and jettison the sail.

We always add the palm oil into the soup. It's gets cheaper but still keeps being hot. Waiter! Is it a Spoonzilla in my soup?

So, they produce electricity by the windmill, to split a water molecule to get hydrogen, to break the carbon dioxide molecule bounds and turn it into methane, then heat the methane to turn it into more complex alkanes, extract petrol fractions, to burn them in air oxygen to restore the previously splitted water and carbon dioxide bounds? Sounds like a plan.

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread
kerbiloid replied to Skyler4856's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Plasma is nothing but partially or completely ionized atoms. The chemical element is defined by the proton number in the nucleus, it doesn't change on ionization. The nuclear and elemental composition is not affected by plasmification or plasma recombination. The chemical composition is affected, but just because the molecules may get broken. The oxygen is still oxygen, but it can get atomic rather than molecular. The space plasma stays plasma because it's very... undense. So, the ions and electrons meet rarely, and the recombination process runs slowly. Or because the plasma cloud is too hot (or heated), so the electrons move too fast to be captured by ions. The neutrons don't have charge, and thus electron clouds. So, they can't be ionized and become plasma. Neutrons are always gaseous (unless it's inside a pulsar). -

A whole cult of Dr. Who fans has gathered on this forum. They have their own secret thread where they cry out to their icon, and ask each other if Who will reply next. This is so creepy... Like the Dagon apprentices from Innsmouth.. Be careful visiting it, and don't stay there too long. -

D and T have, and 1H can produce them on fusion. But if there are no neutrons... then there arre no neutrons to escape. -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_recombination It can, unless the lightweight electrons had escaped. Otherwise the ions and electrons will divorce and re-marry to surrounding matter electrons and ions respectively. The neutrons don't escape from nuclei on ionization. They stay in the nuclei, unless the plasma was created by nuclear fission (say, caused by fusion, D + T → He + n). So, as the plasma is an ionized state of the matter, the neutrons aren't part of the plasma. They are a neutron gas mixed to this plasma. This (neutron) gas doesn't interact with magnetic field and isn't aware of its presence, it's just a monoatomic gas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutronium Just with helium and remains of the original mixture, otherwise where had the neutrons appeared from?
