Also no X in espresso. Maybe a linguist can help us understand.

The laws of physics are best understood at standard temperatures and pressures, where we have loads of data. To understand how physics works in more extreme circumstances, we have to create those circumstances and then measure what happens. At CERN, they accelerate particles very fast, smash them together, and record and analyze what happened. This is how they observed the Higgs boson and measured its properties.

From the article, it looks like one of the experiments is to shoot the laser into an oncoming high speed beam of electrons. One of the things they're looking for is if this high amount of energy causes matter and anti matter pairs to spontaneously form and annihilate. Our theories predict this but the more ways we can measure it the more we can learn, for instance about what happened right after the big bang, and why we were left with matter instead of everything annihilating symmetrically.

Don't actually say this

This is so similar to decaf coffee and caffeine pills!

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago

That's a good and early one!

Yeah unfortunately

No this is an example where sarcasm and stupidity can't be distinguished via text alone.

Looks like the printer company did not have antivirus on their systems.

I brushed my teeth and then dissolved a zinc tablet in my mouth.

Afterwards I wondered, would the F- ion in the toothpaste combine with the Zn2+ ion in the tablet, which is not very soluble in water, and would neutralize both the teeth hardening and cold-fighting properties?

It says on the zinc bottle not to drink citrus juices but I cannot find any reliable information online that explains why.

 

Ok hear me out.

I've never worn normal socks inside out because it's so easy to get them into the correct orientation. But I have a whole bunch of toe socks now, and the easiest way to take them off is by peeling them off, which leaves them inside out at the end.

I've been righting them and washing them, but it adds quite an annoyance as for every n socks it adds n time.

So I am wondering can I just get away with wearing them inside out half the time?

Potential downsides I've already though of:

  • It might look dumb
  • It might wear out the fuzzy side faster than normal.

Let's say those are both a price I'll willing to pay. Is there anything else I haven't thought of? Does anybody have personal experience or cultural knowledge in this regard?

Edit: this is all very good information. Thank you, I'll try it out for a few days.

 

I guess I must post something

 
 
 
 

Hmm

 

I live in an ideal part of the suburbs. I'm close to my work, school, the swimming pool, the grocery store, etc.,. In many instances, the scooter is more consistently faster than driving and finding parking.

Commute times (door to door):

       : Work   : School : Grocery : Swimming Pool            
Walk   : 40 min : 15 min : 25 min  : 15 min 
Bike   : 15-20  : 5-10   : 15 min  : 5 min 
Scooter: 10-15  : 5 min  : 10 min  : 3 min
Car    : 5-10   : 5-10   : 5-10    : 5 min

My problem is, I really need to make changes in life, like go to the swimming pool more often even in winter; get a better job which will be farther away. I think I'm putting these off because I don't want to drive.

All of these will be easier if I just embrace driving my car more. I can take groceries more easily. I can carry more swim equipment and I won't get so cold coming home from the pool. But I don't like driving because I feel like I'm a greater danger to myself and others, even though I'm a pretty careful driver.

Do any of you face similar challenges; do you just drive when it makes the most sense to drive?
