  • Pentagon shoots down US Customs and Border Protection drone with laser system, lawmakers say | CNN

    Jump

  • The US military budget is inflated as hell, but lasers are neat for this kind of stuff precisely because shooting something down costs only the electricity needed to power the laser, instead of a missile or some fancy airburst shells.

  • Huh, I wonder how it compares to that other country to the west there.

  • Partially correct. They orbited the Earth for 2.5h before the last stage of the launch vehicle starts the 5 minute TLI burn at T+02:44. The docking happens after that. Source (pages 108 -109).

  • In Green Company: Aurora over Norway

  • Are long exposures bad as well? Almost every picture of the northern lights looks better in a camera than how they look to the naked eye, because cameras can perform better in low light with the right settings.

    I used to be quite puritanical about not editing the pictures I take, but over time I realized that there's no way to capture perfectly realistic photos, because there is no perfect baseline for that. Every sensation of sight is already subjective, because the brain is doing a lot of image processing and each brain and eyes are a bit different. Colours don't exist outside the brain. Dark scenes aren't actually desaturated, our retinas just suck at colour vision in low light.

    Photography tries to emulate a very subjective impression of a scene. If the photographer makes tweaks to some settings of the RAW in order to make the final image closer to the impression they were trying to capture, then that's quite fine in my opinion. Just the same as changing the settings of the camera beforehand. If they want to include multiple exposures with different settings, then that's fine by me as well, because your eyes change aperture and focus each time they flick to a different part of the scene.

  • Italy’s foreign minister defends ICE attendance at Winter Olympics after outrage: ‘It’s not like the SS are coming’

    Jump

  • Oh definitely. I just don't like it when conclusions are drawn that as such, all germans are nazi sympathisers due to their blood (something intrinsic that can't be changed), rather than just most of them and due to the societal circumstances that actually caused the widespread fervor. The former stance reeks of essentialism.

  • Good ol' days rule

    Jump

  • Yes, and 138 days is far from the shortest. Take Radon-220 for example. It can be found in nature in trace amounts, while having a half life of only 55.6 seconds, while Radon-222 has the longest half-life of all Radon isotopes at 3.8 days.

  • Good ol' days rule

    Jump

  • Polonium-210 produces alpha radiation, which can't penetrate the skin. It will kill you with cancer if even one microgram of the stuff gets in your body, but otherwise it's relatively harmless. [Edit 1: That being said, a small cereal toy like that is, uhh, ironic. Edit 2: Oh and apparently it dissolves in water :DDD]

    Also with a half life of 138 days it's hardly "one of the most radioactive substances on Earth".
