I see your spin question and raise "how does a quantum particle have angular momentum" plus "does the observer paradox imply many universes or action at a distance?" (Yep that's all in. I'm confident there are no answers available to these questions in this language.)

So birds can get their wings broken by sudden gusts while aloft. Without accounting for size (reynolds number) and reaction speed - a fly would suffer a similar fate.

But I've seen videos of insects and/or flies hit with directed blasts of air. They react very, very quickly by adjusting orientation and shape. If a fly tucks fast enough it might survive the aerodynamic forces due to its reaction speed, and be left to the fate of where it's path goes while it slows to a flyable speed.

And size matters. What seems to us a thin and uniform body of air gas for them is thicker and rippling with waves of density and speed. The wrong placement might kill them with pure shear or high pressure, but I suspect they have the ability to surf those waves as well, and maybe even use them to steer through extreme conditions.

Nazis you say? "After the shock of the 2002 Tarnak Farm incident, the Pentagon reassessed its ‘go pill’ policy. Maybe feeding a daily diet of meth to pilots flying $50 million fighter-bombers was a bad idea after all, they reasoned. Use of amphetamines was phased out in the early 2000s in favor of a new synthetic drug called Modafinil." https://fherehab.com/learning/amphetamine-history

I have been to the science fair, and the county science fair, and the state science fair.

No, I didn't touch my daughters project.

At county, there was an obvious element of parent projects, but judges interviewed kids and weeded out those who didn't know much about the project. Some winners there still had obvious assists, but at least they could interview.

State was wild (CA). No parents in the hall during the day. Kids reported massive judging variations, little standardization and obvious tech bias. Her cognitive science category gave out all 3 awards for AI related projects.

Check in was insane. Allowed material were the board and a few feet of space on the table. People were pulling in with trailers. Massive arguments, tears.

Day of, kids were wearing fitted suits. Coordinated family outfits with ostentatious wealth on show. What a bizarre view of America.

Looks, there has gotta be a divide by zero in there somewhere, but I can't find it.

But if I divide by less, Cheese = more/less cheese Which seems legit

Turns out this is also the answer to the Fermi paradox. We're quarantined.

You should know the origin, and surprise - it's Latin!

Per wikipedia: "The actual origin is unknown, but one of the first appearances of the word was in a second-century work by Roman physician Serenus Sammonicus... who in chapter 52 prescribed that malaria sufferers wear an amulet containing Abracadabra written in the form of a triangle.[12][13]

The power of the amulet, he claimed, makes lethal diseases go away."

The hero we need.

Too bad we do.

Thanks for sharing your story. I've heard of one child policy but never from a 2nd child's perspective.

Your story is a disturbing parallel to modern immigrant stories in the US, as well as others, im sure.

Healthcare is just one step above having a safe place to be in terms of human need, but places/governments that cant meet childrens basic needs in modern society are worth shaming.

But, it doesn't change much, really. Folks need to move on from charge rate fetish or go deeper.

My >5 year old Tesla does 250kW, this says 1000kW But - you dont actually charge 4x faster at 1 MW. Nor do you want to. 250kW doesn't charge 2.5 faster than 100kW either, in my experience. This is because this is the limit, not the average. And the averages are slower for many reasons. Including you dont want to slam energy into your very expensive battery that much faster than you take it out, it will wear it out.

And you know what? 100kW is good enough to charge over a meal or store visit. Packs are usually less than 100 kWh, and sessions are <<100%. And plugging in longer at level 2 / 11kW is better for the battery and grid if you're in no hurry.

This is the issue with how this whole thing is framed.

Of course the university doesn't owe grad students anything besides an education.

But, being a grad student need not involve any teaching or professor research support. That's labor. It's customary labor that may be exchanged for education, but it is indeed an exchange of value for labor and subject to everything that entails.

Source: got a real grad degree without any of that BS just paid tuition (partially via my employers tuition reimbursement:)
