50kW class laser.
Another source claims 1um wavelength with individual 1.5kW lasers in a hex pattern — unclear if it’s a phased array (would be awesome) or just trained on the same target (source mentions they are “combined using a mirror” so probably the latter).
Sounds like maybe high power YAG?
It’s maybe not that bad for a “normal” person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out — abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck — was pretty disheartening.
You can!
Getting it published is another matter though…

(Not sure if other stuff too.)
…using chopsticks of course, so you don’t get your mechanical keyboard dirty.
Yeah, I would additionally like to see fines be in units of revenue — $50M means wildly different things to different organizations.
For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I’ve done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It’s maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo…
In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).
Many time zones: You get to a new place and look up what time zone you’re in.
Well, sorta — but it’s no effort at all because my timekeeping device (phone) does this automatically.
For me, the time of day is internalized in a way that I think is hard to switch. Same as how I was raised with imperial units — even though I prefer (and use professionally) metric, the intuition can be a little harder to get. But to each their own of course :)
I prefer the current way — I can be in another state or another country and I know that 7am is a good time for breakfast, around noon is a good time for lunch, and so forth. (If you don’t change latitude sure, just go outside to figure this out, but it’s complicated if it’s overcast, or the latitude isn’t what you’re used to, or…)
Time has a number of meanings — UTC is great for machines, local time is (IMHO) a good concept for humans.
Aviation is also mentioned, which (to me) is a bigger deal here. The only viable alternative to burning jet fuel is to get from A to B much, much more slowly. Which is great and something we should be doing! But realistically…not gonna happen anytime soon.
It could grip it by the husk.
What people choose to do with their own lives is kinda up to them — the proverbial self-inflicted gunshot wound is, well, self-inflicted.
It’s the children, elderly, immunocompromised, etc. getting caught in the crossfire that’s scary. (Not to mention the new breeding grounds for nasty variants.)
“South Korea as a nation dodged a bullet, but President Yoon may have shot himself in the foot,” said Danny Russel, vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute think tank in the United States.
I bet my man Danny came up with that line in the shower. I dig it.
“It’s not that I’m against vaccines, it’s just that I want my body’s own antibodies to fight off the virus.”
In English, it’s usually used in a context where there’s some humor, frustration, or irony involved, like in the comic.
Anybody want a peanut?
Well yes, but so is Canada, which has a higher HDI than the US.
Parent was asking why Mexico is excluded from the list while Canada is not.
By “don’t have incentive” I’m just referring to an on-paper incentive from an HDI ranking.
Canada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the “looking for a better life” perspective, Canadians don’t have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI).
Just a guess though.
Janeway’s toilet would just be full of coffee that’s had the caffeine extracted. So…decaf. Blech!
It’s a matter of perspective and use — high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.
I’d much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.
