Actually it started with spices, like black pepper.

Then they came with guns and did the "divide and rule" thing, by letting the kings fight each other.

The problem with a fixed price is you have to always calibrate it according to the economy of the user's geolocation. What is cheap for a person from a developed world may be unaffordable for a third world county.

Is there no electromagnetic force between the positively charged nucleus of an atom and the electrons? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Or in other words which forces keep electrons in orbitals and prevent it from flying away or crashing into the nucleus according to modern understanding?

Why are so many people so fixated on Lemmy's growth? by jadelord in c/[email protected]

The flagship communities are quite alive, but the niche communities have not really taken off. I am talking from both the absence of such communities, and my experience trying to migrate !fluidmechanics. The subreddit has around 10k humans (or bots).

He was from the future. Look, he's reading from a book made of flexible glowing paper and not flat tablets like we primitive people do.

TLDR: To remove by shaking one would need accelerations high as 24g, which can damage the ear. A couple drops of vinegar or alcohol in the ear will lower the surface tension and make the fluid easier to remove

AMA! Ph.D. in geophysical fluid mechanics and stratified flows (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:

  • computation fluid mechanics
  • scientific programming and HPC
  • nonlinear shallow water equations
  • statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
  • experimental methods: PIV
  • stratified turbulence
  • academia
  • navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.

Ask away!
