The Wikipedia article seems to say something similar happened, but in a different way.

What’s the point if they still have AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, etc. chips on them?

Yeah the current challenge with searching is if no one has subscribed to a magazine or user on another instance, you have to search the exact name@domain to get it to show up. Ideally Kbin instances would implement a user bot that subscribes to all the users and communities it can scrape from all federated instances until this search limitation is fixed.

I’m a sucker for any connector that has a nice solid spring load mechanism that pops into place when properly connected. It should sound like a movie sound effect of a gun being reloaded.

I’ve also used some really nice quick release steering wheels, like on race cars or racing sims, where they have a spline connector with a tight fit and a good spring load.

They may be Californian but they’re still conservative. They’ve got Bible verses on their cups. They’re a for profit business. They think it will help their revenue, since they know more people hate masks than will leave if there are no masks.

They’re edible if you get them “well done”. Then they’re like rectangular potato chips.

Having multiple, semisolated compartments in a Hyperloop train is entirely reasonable. There’s definitely room in a traincar for the occupants of a compartment that’s on fire to move to another compartment for emergency purposes.

Evacuation points would be defined every so often (say every few miles) such that the train could come to an emergency stop within one, seal doors on each side and let air in. This would take a few minutes, but so does landing a plane or stopping a high speed train.

Bottom line is that fire safety is, to me at least, an entirely solvable problem. The biggest problem with Hyperloop, I think, is that given the materials for the vacuum sealed tube and the energy required to hold that vacuum, it is just so unlikely to be more efficient than a maglev. For medium distance travel, even standard high speed rail is good enough to replace planes, so we don’t need the extra speed for ~500 mile distances. For longer distances where high speed rail is super slow or impossible, such as across continents and oceans the cost of building the vacuum tube will be so costly that it would take something like a complete ban of non-renewable fuels in aircraft for it to be a consideration. Even then, I think it could end up being cheaper to develop and use renewable fuels for aircraft.

It is much harder for fire to exist without air. There are some self oxidizing fires, but it should be relatively easy to avoid those materials. For fires inside the vehicle, there are some existing fire protection protocols that could be followed. There have been fires on the International Space Station and they couldn’t exactly run outside either.

Tbh you might be able to come back go pocket casts. They added a bunch of functionality back over time. Can’t remember what it used to be like anymore, but it works for me.

I have a free account and do have access to the filters. You can filter by podcast, started/not started, duration, etc. It may still not work for your needs though.

Yo, I’m a Kbin.social member and can report we’re federating now

Where do those links take you? The mods might be doing that to demonstrate what could be coming in the future if reddit continues down this path.

Good luck electing anyone not in the two party system. I think there’s 1 or 2 independent senators and no independent representatives. You need to change the rules of the game, cause like it or not were all playing the game. And not voting or voting 3rd party when they’re polling at 1% is just giving an extra vote to someone who disagrees with you.

Anyone who hasn’t seen it should definitely watch Only the Brave (2017). It’s a really impactful movie.

Dude what the hell? You posted publicly in a public comment thread and are mad when the person you’re talking about responded? You know this could happen on reddit too right? Creators are people too, you absolute dick.

I’m seeing a lot of misconceptions in the replies. You have it mainly right from a very high level.

The reason why prepreg “expires” is simply that the resin system is mixed before being impregnated into the fibers, so it starts the curing reaction immediately. These resin systems are usually designed to cure properly at high temperatures, typically 250-400F depending on end-use, but they’ll still slowly react at lower temperatures. To further slow the reaction, prepreg is kept frozen. Prepreg also has two types of expirations: “shelf life” and “out life”. Shelf life is how long it can last frozen. Out life is how long it can last at room temp.

Theres a few issues that can happen when using expired prepreg. It can be harder to laminate since it will be too stiff and not as sticky. It won’t cure correctly causing failures in the resin.

Expired prepreg can be recertified by testing the material for those types of failures. Check if the prepreg can fold over a certain radius and stick to a certain angle without sliding off. Cure a sample and test it to see if cured properly.

They called it AI in the first game too. It’s been called AI in games for decades.

PocketCasts was pretty much perfect for me for a long time and recently (past couple years maybe?) they did a big update which made it noticeably worse. I tried a few other apps and they had even bigger issues. I’m still using PocketCasts and they’ve fixed some of what they messed up but it isn’t perfect.

They have a good library of podcasts built in but also allow you to add custom rss feeds for any smaller shows they don’t have or if you have private feeds from patreon or elsewhere.

And we’re already posting screenshots of reddit posts that are screenshots of tiktoks. Awesome
