my guess is that something else will be able to unzip it and use it as an energy source

yep in the linked article it is mentioned that product is ethylene glycol

or straight up write a review and publish it

you’re looking for Zotero

asphalt is cheap (and flashy) part of road construction, the really important, expensive, non-flashy and prone to corner cutting part is building solid, thick, high-quality layer of aggregate underneath. if you don’t have that, no matter how many layers of asphalt you slap on top it will break every winter

this is an instance of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

we had this for solid few years already https://archive.org/details/the-alt-right-playbook-how-to-radicalize-a-normiee

It’s significantly harder on fax

russian telegram channels claimed shootdown of an “ukrainian drone” earlier the same day, so il-76 could be genuine friendly fire. there’s intercepted radio chatter supporting this https://nitter.oksocial.net/olga_pp98/status/1750089351801815354#m

one does not exclude the other

maybe he was banned from academia in soviet times for being a religious nutjob, and then he shown that “political discrimination get into any position free” card and they let him in no questions asked

If it was an American made Patriot PAC-2, then that shows US support is having yet more material impacts on Russia. If it was an S300 missile spotted by Patriot radars (which we saw something similar recently), its showing Ukraine’s ability to enhance existing Soviet era weapons against Russia augmented by Western systems.

this is what already happened, once in north when two EW helis and two jets were shot, and once in south when A50 went down. some rumor-grade osint suggests that at least in the second case S300 radar spotted A50 first, relayed position to patriot radar, which illuminated it very briefly, just long enough to get a lock but not long enough for russians to react, and then sent missiles after it

one is significantly easier to pull off than the other, that’s my point

but you have to get there first. rocket with cluster warhead can fly for 100s of kilometers

cluster munitions are plentiful and just a few would damage a farm heavily

i had no idea, that’s even worse

I think the point is it’s much easier to harden NPP against some types of strikes than, say, PV farm

and there’s all that ban on strikes on NPPs which seems to be respected even now

Still no F35, they really fucked up with that S400 purcharse

In some fundamental way we don’t really know, all you can do is to make a model and then test it as extensively as we can. Then, try to break it and improve it, making it more precise, more general etc. However several things makes that guessing easier

One thing is cosmological principle, ie assumption that laws of physics are basically the same everywhere. One argument that makes this assuption hold better is Noether’s theorem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether’s_theorem which means that at least some conservation laws are pretty fundamental. We don’t really know if laws of physics were the same in distant past, if they were then maybe there are some other, as of yet not discovered more fundamental laws of physics that hold in both conditions and simplify to what we know today in current conditions

you mean it should be settled out in a referendum?

i’ll believe that when it’s on paper

lasers with power required would be also pretty heavy, and only as fast as operator, so about the same as AA guns
