AIUI D1 is in a better state than D2 will be even after the June 9th update. If you have a play station and are interested in Destiny it’s probably good to pick up.

D2 still has a lot of good content but the new player experience is rather rough since they removed the original tutorial and only put back in a shorter and less complete one.

Maybe the Danish are approximations of the Great Dane

Probably the biggest effect IMO is sites like arxiv.

If you ever have the chance to take a college physics class, they often teach some of the history of how this stuff was discovered along with the math. I always found that part fascinating!

Also there are some pretty good resources on YouTube and some books intended for more casual audiences. Michio Kaku was one of my favorite authors for pop-sci physics when I was a kid.

Are radiowaves also electromagnetic fields

Radiowaves are a color of light that we can’t see. Technically “light” typically only refers to visible colors, and we call everything else “electromagnetic radiation”. Radio waves, microwaves, and infrared light are past the red end of the rainbow, while ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are past the violet end of the rainbow. All of these are self-propagating ripples in electromagnetic fields.

whether we actually consume or use the electrons themselves or simply reap the biproducts of some kind of manipulation that we do with them

It’s very difficult to actually destroy an electron. When I said the electrons are “depleted” in a transistor I meant they are pushed somewhere else. Electrons can be pushed and pulled by electromagnetic fields, so in a transistor one current makes a field that pushes electrons out of the region where they would need to be for the other current to use them.

In all cases it’s the electromagnetic fields that actually do the work.

If you want to know about electrons actually being destroyed, an electron will annihilate with a positron (antimatter electron) releasing some gamma rays. There are some medical applications for radioactive material that produces positrons which annihilate to produce gamma rays in this way, and then they can detect the gamma rays.

This is a reasonable description of heating elements and incandescent lightbulbs.

Microphones, generators, speakers, and motors typically involve an electromagnet and a permanent magnet. For speakers and motors, electrons moving in a circle generates a magnetic field, which pushes against the permanent magnetic field of the permanent magnet. For microphones, and generators, it’s kinda the opposite: a permanent magnet moving near a coil of wire generates a magnetic field.

Transistors, which are the basis of modern CPUs, rely on the need for loose electrons to be around for an electric current to flow. In a carefully crafted setup, you can end up with a current flowing along one path depleting the loose electrons needed for a flow along another path to form. This creates a kind of “electric switch”.

Heat is generated in all of these processes, but it’s generally an unwanted but unavoidable byproduct, similar to heat produced by friction in a mechanical system.

I’m not sure what you mean by “EFFECTS of electron flow” vs “electricity”.

What tends to matter is the electromagnetic fields and how they change. Often we use electrons flowing in a piece of metal because they are easily influenced by electromagnetic fields, but also when there is an electron flow in a wire, the shape of that wire can result in different electromagnetic fields. However, I think it’s worth mentioning that electrons and wires are just convenient for controlling the electromagnetic force. It’s possible to have electromagnetic effects without either (for example, lightning and static electricity are electromagnetic effects that don’t involve conductors, and light is an electromagnetic effect that doesn’t rely on electrons).

I’m happy to answer more questions, I’m trying not to launch into a whole physics lecture lol but I sure can if you like.

Rimuru was previously male (before being isekaid) but the humanoid body is copied from a woman, but Rimuru goes by male pronouns (at least in the anime).

Fascinating. As someone who only watched the anime, I thought they identified as male. Those scenes mentioned where they identify as female were never shown.

The only VPN I’ve ever seen ads for is Nord VPN.

had over half my health taken out in a few shots then decided to retreat. Retreating triggered an instant Game Over because the game was glitched

IMO most likely what happened here is the flagship destroyed the Earth. If the flagship arrives at Earth and sits there for 3 rounds, you get a game over. The only way to stop it is to beat it in a fight, and finishing a phase will buy some time.

This mechanic is definitely not super obvious at first so I wouldn’t blame you for missing it.

I ended up cheesing this fight with the “embrace the stinky water” strat

The commitment really comes earlier, the wedding is formally announcing that commitment to the world.

Destiny has very broad appeal, has printed money before, and certainly could be popular again if they just stopped making all the worst decisions.

Marathon has a very very particular niche it’s targeting and I think it does that well, but I don’t it’s going to grow at all without some changes to its fundamental ideas.

The problem is it’s typically more obvious when someone is taking a phone video

Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash

I live in a big city in the US and the best internet option I have is 1Gb through Verizon, and my apartment complex is making a deal with Comcast so that’s going to go away leaving only 100Mb. I have a homelab setup which is why I was willing to pay more for the 1Gb.

I’ve gotten some good stuff from https://handheldlegend.com/ before.

I have a metal Apple Watch band that has started filing away the edge on one side of my MacBook just by accident.

To be fair sometimes if you update Linux too sparingly it results in conflicts. Of course the likelihood of that happening depends on the distro. Also the vast majority of Linux updates don’t require a reboot.

Qwen 3.5 can be run via ollama
