- Comment on This Doctor Won’t Take Health Insurance - and Charges Just $35 a Visit | AJ+ (5:46) 5 days ago:
In France the cost for a doctor’s visit is 26€. 18.55€ is reimbursed by the public health care insurance and the rest is generally reimbursed by private insurance.
There is a big debate right now because the doctor’s unions want the cost of the visit to go up to 30€ !

Steel is much stronger than titanium.
Titanium is a middle ground between steel and aluminum.
- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 1 week ago:
What I find fascinating is the efficiency of the brain.
With a supercomputer and the energy of a nuclear station to run it we are able to simulate a handful of neurons interacting with each other.
On the other hand the brain with billions of neurons only requires the energy of one or two potato to run.

In an apocalypse I would choose an electric car over a ICE car.
I think it’s much easier to have few solar panels and a battery than a reliable access to gasoline.

916mm is 36" 1/16, so it could very well be 916mm converted to imperial and rounded off.

There is a graphic novel called “Dungeon” in which a duck (Herbert) is working as a handyman in a dungeon (cleaning the dead adventurers, rearming the traps, feeding the gouls …)
This is exactly the kind of characters we can find in the serie. The disillusioned manager stuck in this dungeon job.

Have you ever heard about the blob? For me this is the real aliens.
It’s a giant single cell intelligent organism that can move, learn, remember things, solve problems and teach others.
Neither an animal, plant or fungus the blob favorite snack is oatmeal but it hate coffee.

Wood fiber will burn slowly without any toxic fume. Its not perfect but better than most oil derived products.

If available in your area, Wood fibre is often a better option than mineral wool.

I used to hike along the coast there quite regularly but someone decided it was much better to turn the whole thing into a gulf course and to illegally block access to locals.

Yes, who wouldn’t?
- Comment on Tossing Satellites into Orbit with SpinLaunch: Is that Possible? | Interesting Engineering 6 months ago:
It’s even far from fuel free, to reach Low Earth Orbit a rocket needs between 9.3 and 10km/s of delta-v.
According to the video the system is launching the rocket at mach 6, which is equivalent to 2km/s.
So the system is providing only 1/5 of the energy needed to get to orbit. It’s good but I’m not sure it is worth the drawback of having to handle the huge acceleration.
On the other hand the same system on the moon would provide enough energy to reach orbit, it would just need a small amount of propellant to circularize.
Or by increasing slightly the speed of the system it could even send stuff straight to earth with no propellant.

- Comment on The $50 Water Turbine -Build Tutorial v1.0 7 months ago:
If you are already connected to the grid it does not usually make sense to move off grid.
However you can easily have a setup that cover most of you electricity use. You can also install batteries so you are virtually off-grid with the grid just there as a backup for the bad days.
Solar is the main option because it’s cheap, very low maintenance and predictable.
Wind and water turbines requires regular maintenance and really depends on your configuration. With solar I can give you an reliable estimate of your annual production and how many time a year you will completely empty your batteries within 5 minutes with only your home address
For wind I need expensive specialized software if you have weathers station close to where you live, if not I need to have sensor on your land to get close to the same result.
In practice for home use you’ll never really know in advance how much your wind turbine will produce.
Honestly for 99% of the cases I would recommend solar first before thinking about wind or water turbines.

- Comment on Air Canada changed my flight for the 3rd time, I'm now landing in Toronto 1 hour AFTER my next flight departure. 8 months ago:
That, plus the fact that I’m moving country with a lot of luggages with my wife plus two kids under 3.
This was the only company were we could put our luggage in St Lucia and get them back in Lyon, no need to change airport, or take a train or reregister or luggage at any point.
Plus it was one of the only company not prohibitively expensive for a one way ticket.
