  I mean. You could have just linked Chernobyl.

  I don’t doubt that there would be some degree of cover-up if there was an escalating situation. I just don’t see any reason why it would be escalating.

  Mostly hype. Plague isn’t that virulent with modern precautions and antibiotics, and Russia’s response has been to swiftly quarantine hundreds of people. Plague occurs naturally on occasion, and is largely a known threat.

  Most of the hype has been speculation around this case being a bioweapon combined with distrust in Russian institutions generally.

  I’m not one to trust Russia generally, but I don’t see much evidence that this is more than a nothing burger blown out of proportion by growing anti-Russia sentiment due to their invasion of Ukraine.

  The electric field curves it insofar as any energy curves it. The force exerted by the em field is independent of this curvature, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can energy be associated with/related to spacetime ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True. The em field is significantly more energetic, meaning that it contributes more to the stress energy tensor than the force of gravity

  But recall that the force of gravity is the momentum change “due to” the curvature of spacetime. The fact that the force of gravity can bend spacetime at all is a really weird second-order perturbative effect.

  These perturbative effects are typically described with a quantum field theory, but gravity has been thus far notably difficult to quantize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can energy be associated with/related to spacetime ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It does. The energy density of the em field will contribute to the mass-energy tensor that changes the metric of spacetime.

  Though the force itself is irrelevant

  K is potassium

  Or is there a K that refers to phosphorus?

  There are probably 2 reasons for this:

  1. There’s probably a lot more motor control going on than you would expect when you need to think (writing, fidgeting, etc.).

  2. Your brain wants sugars, so when you run out of immediately-available glycogen to break down, you will want to eat more in order to keep thinking. Breaking down fats wont supply energy fast enough (in the short term) to keep complex thought running continuously.

  Strong led or (very) weak incandescent. It’s about 20 Watts (at least, that’s what the popsci meme reports)

  Angling the holster so that it’s already pointing at the target when it clears the waist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  4-Chan is a self-hate group. It’s full of people using slurs to refer to themselves, so I’m not sure you can really call this a non-cruel context

  Dopamine does a lot of things. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

  So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits
