It's incredible that this was viable in the first place. Of course these type of experimental surgeries are done on extremely sick people at the end stage of normal care. So, actually two months is nothing to scoff at. It means a successful operation. I hope autopsy will give insight. What this man did is incredibly brave and important for mankind. Hero in my books.

Wilders hoopt er nog deze week uit te komen aan de formatietafel ( rtlnieuws.nl ) Dutch

Als het aan PVV-leider Geert Wilders ligt, komen de vier partijen aan de formatietafel er binnen enkele dagen uit. "Ik hoop echt het deze week wel klaar moet zijn", zei hij voorafgaand aan het overleg in deze finaleweek. BBB-leider Van der Plas klinkt nog hoopvoller: zij verwacht dat de partijen vandaag tot een formatieakkoord...

Does color change how hot a laser can get something?

For convenience sake let's say you have 2 identical lasers, one is blue and one is red. And you shine it on lead (so none of the light leaks through) until the lead doesn't heat up anymore. Would the temperature change at all between the different color lasers. It doesn't have to be red or blue, it could be microwave or x ray,...

Alsjemenou ,

The power needed to power the laser, if identical, is what determines the temperature here, not the color.

A thousand watt laser is going to make the lead melt while a 5 watt laser won't.

Another limiting factor is how fast the lead/target material can dissipate the heat. A 10kg block of lead is going to stay a lot cooler than a 5 gram piece of lead.

The colour of the laser has no influence on the final temperature, at all.

The photons are just transferring energy from a to b. And whether they can do it fast or slow doesn't really matter. Both blue and red photons are subject to the law of conservation of energy. The amount of energy you put in is the amount of energy you get out.

In reality there is probably a difference in how efficient a blue and red laser diode are, so there are losses. And if one is slower than the other, the target material is losing energy to the surrounding air. And that's why you'll get different temperatures.

In an ideal setting with exactly identical lasers, where the only difference is the colour, the end result is also exactly the same.

Im in the privileged position where I can say that I was educated to pronounce and write in British English. And while I'm not a native speaker, I'm confident that my knowledge of the English language surpasses most of native speakers in the US, if not 99%. My spell checker is biased for us English.

Now if you excuse me I have to go back to my flat, with my lorry having chips and candy floss in the boot. Do you even elevator bro?

I would like to add to this. I spend at least 20 hours a week in forests, and have heard a lot of things. Never my name.

It's fascism... They want fascism. That's the joke.

Alsjemenou ,

Do you even know what communism actually is? I mean do you know where it came from, and why?

If you're 17 and in America, there isn't a lot of hope that you have been told about this in a non-biased manner. Young people especially are susceptible to the ideology that they can make it in life through hard work and equal opportunities. You might even already have felt some success in this regard, was able to achieve a goal because you worked for it. And it all makes sense to you.

And you think, In some way or another, that communist are perverting this, maybe by giving away shit for nothing or worse want to take shit from you.

But that's not true.

Socialism wants you to fully get your complete value of your labour for you, instead of most of it going to a boss who didn't work. And communist want to make sure that the system doesn't allow for bosses to make decisions about the conditions workers live in.

America has a real problem if something very bad happens to Biden or Trump during the elections (or shortly after).

The world has a problem when Trump is elected again. As he's not known for keeping peace, or understanding international relations. In fact quite the opposite.

So the next big thing really is the elections.

....

Notice though how certain massive events are barely registering here.. Imagine a third of Americans threatened to lose their home.. But that's what's currently happening in China through floods, and rain season still having to start. I would call that big, 120 million people isn't nothing.. In comparison, 7 million died from corona (out of 700 million confirmed cases)

So this very much depends on your perspective and where on the planet you live.

Alsjemenou ,

No, you could have great arguments while being an ass. When you don't argue from any morals or ethics, or a ground floor of ascertaining the truth, I have zero respect for your opinions. I don't really care about what a 'good' argument looks like, it doesn't even need to be good, as long as your grounded in reality and ethics, you're fine.

For people who have psoriasis/eczema/bad skin, how did you get rid of your dandruff?

I've been dealing with dandruff since I was a kid, it's always made me really insecure and always wear a hat. I've tried plenty of different hair products, none seem to work. It's not just my hair on my scalp, it's my beard as well. I'm a 19 year old male (Caucasian), I've been already deciding if I want to go bald or not. I...

A doctors prescription.

It has yeast eating sugars because of some problem inside the tree. This produces a lot of pressure, because of the production of co2 gas, and this is being released through a weak spot. That's what you see outside, it's leaking through the weak spot.

In the crown you should see dead branches and a weak crown. Most likely it has been damaged (badly pruned? ) in the past.

The long and short of it is that if it can cause damage when falling over, remove the entire tree and replace it, hire an arborist. If it doesn't matter and you don't care... Sit back and hope it's going to stay alive for as long as possible. Then just literally don't do anything, there isn't a fix. Just remove dead wood.

At some point when I kept saying no, there wasn't much room left for manipulative tactics exploiting my emotional bond. This was at the end of our relationship, where I started to figure out that I was taken use of. I spend thousands and a lot of time on the relationship, while my happiness drained faster than my bank account. I started to realise what was happening to me, took off the pink glasses, and so I started to say no. Which was apparently of the same magnitude of exploding nuclear bombs. Things got mental really fast. I had to just assume that it was fake threats, and if it wasn't, not my fault.

Alsjemenou ,

People in this thread clearly don't understand what the implications are. There is a very clear danger of war on the European continent that will involve NATO and by proxy the US. Aid for Ukraine is the absolute cheapest option. Europe is not going to just let Ukraine fall and will ramp up their involvement. We already have France willing to send troops.

Alsjemenou ,

I'm not talking about just money. Of course in current capitalist society we analyse through the lens of finances. But obviously the cost of war includes the loss of human life. And of course some people will manage to profit financially from war. This isn't a revolutionary thought.

What I mean is that due to the obligation of being a NATO member, there is no way around having to join war in the EU. Actual boots on the ground, full blown, war machine goes choo-choo war. That costs many hundreds or even thousands of American lives. And yes, billions a day.

If you don't want that, then having Putin lose in Ukraine in key. It's key because it will diminish his political backing.

Alsjemenou ,

America isn't disposing anybody. Russia is.

Capitalism is the underlying ideology permeating society in all aspects. Don't pretend that there is a choice between capitalism and non-capitalism.

Alsjemenou ,

Right. So you think that when fascist are in power suddenly that's going to change? No. So if you're right, and you are, in general for most people, it's a lot easier to 'do something' without being under the constant threat of punishment.

It's not a false assumption to assume most people aren't going to risk anything. You're completely right. But it's actually another reason to make certain that the fascists aren't going to take over... See?

It doesn't make it easier to 'do something'.

This is the only real answer. Targeted advertising is more effective (actually true), therefore you can ask more money for it.

At what number of grains of sand does a non-pile graduate into being a pile?

I'm of the view that this is a semantic question where we have a word, "pile", that describes a general amount but doesn't have a specified quantity to it, and so the only way we can determine the amount of units required to constitute a pile at the bare minimum, is through public consensus on the most commonly shared idea we...

Alsjemenou ,

138 gang assemble!

Alsjemenou ,

A pile of sand has to be cone shaped. Anybody who didn't take a conical shape in mind for their answers should be disqualified instantly, i.e. 3. As it would take at least 4 grains of sand to get to a piramidal shape. Which would be somewhat close to conical. But still unrecognisable as a pile. I think a minimal height of 5 grains should be achieved. At an angle of 34 degrees, that's around 500 grains.

Are we all fucked?

I'm worried for the world. All I've been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can't even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I'm not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight,...

Alsjemenou ,

Maybe we're f-ed maybe not. Feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to do shit though, is it?

You're just spiralling into a depression at this point. All the while most of the things are completely outside of your control. You want to turn into the 'old man shaking fist at clouds' meme? Stop it.

Chances of a ww3 are incredibly low. Why? Because of the dependency on the global supply chain. Stuff is made from stuff shipped from all over the planet. Food, electronics, clothes, etc. We cannot just turn that off, and set up the infrastructure at home....build factories, have workers, have the raw materials... It's incredibly complicated. We are already a global society.

Consider all the shit that is happening 'ironing out the kinks', we all know that the perfect future is fully automated gay space communism. Just try and be on the right side of history when you can help it.

Alsjemenou ,

No. Not because it's impossible. But, mainly because it's only after it goes past court that you're actually 'pinned'. So you're going to have to be certain that will happen, otherwise the political fall out isn't worth it.

Also let me remind you that the guy shot at a crowd so he was already applying for ending his life in prison. There is no need to turn it into some wicked conspiracy where the feds needed to pin him..

Alsjemenou ,

It's a lot simpler that that. I mean not the cause of mass killings. That's never a single factor but a range of mental health issues, a combination of things leading to the act. Impossible to predict.

The main issue is the shocking lack of mental health care. The inability for most to speak to someone at an early stage. There is no (coordinated) safety net.

Alsjemenou ,

I don't think you're considering that bad things happen to good people. Everyone should have the right to easy access to healthcare.

It's toxic Christianity to believe prayer and being a good person will get you favors with God and grant some kind of immunity to bad things. Bad things happen and it's okay to feel bad, to have mental problems, to burn out, mourn, worry, etc.

It's toxic consumer ideology to believe that people are inherently greedy, as it makes you consume more. There is no reason to believe this at all. It's simply a justification for over consumption in a capitalist system that defines your worth to your wealth.

I'm not trying to make the point that mental Healthcare is some kind of panacea. Mass killings happen everywhere. But I do strongly believe that the rate at which it happens will be drastically reduced by a good system of care.

    Abrahamic religious traditions put the idea of men having dominion over life into our societies ideological underpinning.

    You're obviously correct, and so have many people throughout the ages, about there being ethical inconsistencies.

    When future societies look back on this period, the way we use animals will be seen as absolutely barbaric. Mainly because it's absolutely true.
