I've found so many variations e.g.

soak for 6 hours (minimize fermentation), soak for 3 days (to maximize available nutrients and purge phytic acid);

scrub to remove skins, or don't;

change water...or don't;

blend, boil, strain;

blend, strain, boil;

boil, blend, no straining;

Boil no more than 15 minutes or it will taste like miso paste Vs 20 minutes...Vs longer because beans take a long time to cook

extra condiments or thickeners Vs just sugar.

Sooo...has anyone tried a few of these to tell me which differences to expect?

I was leaning towards soak 24h, scrub skins, boil 15m, blend (my blender is not that strong, so that's why I'm boiling first, add sugar (no straining).

Is there a configuration that is less bitter or closer to nut milk? I'm trying to understand why I am doing things, so that I can control it, otherwise I'm just following random recipes and tweaking with no idea what's happening :P

I'd like to have an idea of the history of MP pay in terms of the average salary to understand if this is a new thing, if they have always had side businesses and claimed "favours" later or if there is an actual decline in the status of "civic duty".

I wish somebody had told me beforehand that a degree of enthusiastic acting was necessary to spin my miserable results into a success like the superstars in the department, though.

If this works, it's better than anything we have , which costs grid energy and dumps brine all the same. If anything, the smaller scale makes it easier to distribute and dilute the output brine.

 

Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun.

In a paper appearing today in the journal Joule, the team outlines the design for a new solar desalination system that takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight.

The researchers estimate that if the system is scaled up to the size of a small suitcase, it could produce about 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour and last several years before requiring replacement parts. At this scale and performance, the system could produce drinking water at a rate and price that is cheaper than tap water.

Mercifully, g=9.8 everywhere on Earth's surface, so we use weight interchangeably with mass, but yes, we should weigh ourselves in Newton: "I need to lose 10kg, so I can reach my ideal weigh of 700N" :P

Ugly? Why do people fetishize their cars? I want it to work efficiently, be safe and cheap to maintain...if it looks like a gherkin, so be it 😄 The problem with German electric cars is not that, it's that atm they can't compete with China in price and they have no tech edge in supply chains anymore. Also, newer generations in Europe aren't as obsessed with owning a car anymore (I think).

No more cheap russian gas and oil, internal combustion engine expertise and all the associated pieces and submarkets being phased out in favour of simpler electric cars...it's going to be a few hard years until they find a new export industry to perfect. I'd expect hydrogen-based aviation or pharma, maybe even semiconductors, they'll figure it out.

How about deaths per month? This war has "only" gone on for 16 months and probably there are already 500.000 dead and 1.5 million wounded...and that's not counting at least 20.000 dead civilians (>10% of inhabitants) just in Mariupol, at least 500.000 kidnapped children and at least 8 million refugees. If this war drags on for 20 years like Iraq at this intensity, are you sure it won't be 10 times worse?

"It's just a joke, man!" Meanwhile, in Sartre:

Never believe that ~~anti-Semites~~ neotankies are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge.

But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The ~~anti-Semites~~ neotankies have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.

They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

Abstract: Large earthquakes occurring worldwide have long been recognized to be non Poisson distributed, so involving some large scale correlation mechanism, which could be internal or external to the Earth. Till now, no statistically significant correlation of the global seismicity with one of the possible mechanisms has been demonstrated yet. In this paper, we analyze 20 years of proton density and velocity data, as recorded by the SOHO satellite, and the worldwide seismicity in the corresponding period, as reported by the ISC-GEM catalogue. We found clear correlation between proton density and the occurrence of large earthquakes (M > 5.6), with a time shift of one day. The significance of such correlation is very high, with probability to be wrong lower than 10–5. The correlation increases with the magnitude threshold of the seismic catalogue. A tentative model explaining such a correlation is also proposed, in terms of the reverse piezoelectric effect induced by the applied electric field related to the proton density. This result opens new perspectives in seismological interpretations, as well as in earthquake forecast.

 

Abstract: Investigating the early-stage evolution of an erupting flux rope from the Sun is important to understand the mechanisms of how it looses its stability and its space weather impacts. Our aim is to develop an efficient scheme for tracking the early dynamics of erupting solar flux ropes and use the algorithm to analyse its early-stage properties. The algorithm is tested on a data-driven simulation of an eruption that took place in active region AR12473. We investigate the modelled flux rope's footpoint movement and magnetic flux evolution and compare with observational data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly in the 211 Å and 1600 Å channels. To carry out our analysis, we use the time-dependent data-driven magnetofrictional model (TMFM). We also perform another modelling run, where we stop the driving of the TMFM midway through the flux rope's rise through the simulation domain and evolve it instead with a zero-beta magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) approach. The developed algorithm successfully extracts a flux rope and its ascend through the simulation domain. We find that the movement of the modelled flux rope footpoints showcases similar trends in both TMFM and relaxation MHD run: they recede from their respective central location as the eruption progresses and the positive polarity footpoint region exhibits a more dynamic behaviour. The ultraviolet brightenings and extreme ultraviolet dimmings agree well with the models in terms of their dynamics. According to our modelling results, the toroidal magnetic flux in the flux rope first rises and then decreases. In our observational analysis, we capture the descending phase of toroidal flux. In conclusion, the extraction algorithm enables us to effectively study the flux rope's early dynamics and derive some of its key properties such as footpoint movement and toroidal magnetic flux.

 

Abstract: The solar atmosphere is known to contain many different types of wavelike oscillation. Waves and other fluctuations (e.g., turbulent eddies) are believed to be responsible for at least some of the energy transport and dissipation that heats the corona and accelerates the solar wind. Thus, it is important to understand the behavior of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves as they propagate and evolve in different regions of the Sun’s atmosphere. In this paper, we investigate how MHD waves can affect the overall plasma state when they reflect and refract at sharp, planar interfaces in density. First, we correct an error in a foundational paper (Stein 1971) that affects the calculation of wave energy-flux conservation. Second, we apply this model to reflection-driven MHD turbulence in the solar wind, where the presence of density fluctuations can enhance the generation of inward-propagating Alfven waves. This model reproduces the time-averaged Elsasser imbalance fraction (i.e., ratio of inward to outward Alfvenic power) from several published numerical simulations. Lastly, we model how the complex magnetic field threading the transition region between the chromosphere and corona helps convert a fraction of upward-propagating Alfven waves into fast-mode and slow-mode MHD waves. These magnetosonic waves dissipate in a narrow region around the transition region and produce a sharp peak in the heating rate. This newly found source of heating sometimes exceeds the expected heating rate from Alfvenic turbulence by an order of magnitude. It may explain why some earlier models seemed to require an additional ad-hoc heat source at this location.

 

Turns out schools of fish hang out around sharks to use their skin as an exfoliator 🤣 and to tag along and save energy.

Fact# 30.

Sharks use heartbeats to follow their prey. Sharks have nodules on the nose called ampullae of Lorenzini. They can sense electricity with these nodules, therefore the electrical pulse that comes from a beating heart acts like a signal for close by sharks. Fact# 29.

No one can see their ears, and that doesn’t stop them from being able to hear us from more than 2 football fields away. That’s because sharks have inner ears only, using them they can track the sound of the prey from a distance of 800 feet or more. Fact# 28.

This one is the interesting facts about sharks, if you see a shark circling and wonder if it’s about to attack a prey, here is the clue: The shark would hunch its back, lower the pectoral fins (near its belly) and whirl in crisscross motions.30 Interesting Facts about Sharks-shark circling Fact# 27.
