Something interesting you learned recently

That's going to be a problem. Aren't they in danger of going extinct?

 

Its not a problem, because the plants are dying too and there's no fucking way we can continue to grow food the way we do for another 30 years even.

 

There's always Soylent Green.

 

...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand. The Jerk

 

I can connect two batteries positive to positive and negative to negative to make one big battery.

Learning a lot about solar and battery power atm for camping.

 

If anyone is interested, solar batteries can cost over $5,000.oo each, but new technology is rapidly coming on the market next year that will cut that cost in half. A setup for a modest household of two to four people can cost a fortune in batteries, but is now about to come down to extremely friendly prices. With improved solar cells and cheaper batteries, for about $2,500.oo you should be able to get a good setup that will pay for itself in no time flat, and can be tripled in capacity over time, which would be enough power to run anything your little heart desires.

 

Mt Rainier rumbles, and pyroclastic clouds bring sparkling superheated diamonds to a million people, at over 700mph. The Smithsonian is overwhelmed with statues of people turned into shiny rocks, but they are used as artwork all around the city of Seattle, attracting millions of tourists every year.

 

this sounds like a challenge.

 

I was just watching a documentary on King Tutankhamen's tomb. It might have been made for a woman, most likely Queen Nefertiti, who had changed her name and title a few times before death.

Instead of one complete headshield, his seemed to be made and fused together two, his face but with a female head dress. His has earrings which weren't a masculine thing for men in Egypt. And out of the thousands of relics found, quite a number of them also seem to be female characteristics and they also found her name scrubbed out and his replaced on certain jewelry.

Since he died so young it was probably unexpected and things had to be rushed. There's also organic mould on the walls which has been thought to believe the tomb was sealed while the paint was wet.

Finally the tomb is very small in comparison to other kings, and the first turn into the chamber is right handed, which is a sign of a female tomb as male tombs always turned left, as it was greater sign of masculinity.

 

IBM is about to launch a 53 qubit quantum computer. It wasn't very clear in the article I read but I'm assuming this is referring to the architecture and I'm not sure I got the maths accurate for this but I'll put forward my laymen understanding on Quantum Mechanics and (qu)bit arithmetic and don't mind being corrected...

A standard 64-bit PC can have ~ 1.8 x 10 ^19 different values. This 53-qubit quantum computer could have ~8.1 x 10 ^31 different values.

I believe the computer's resources are only available to a select network and is accessible through the cloud.

Yes darlin' I saw that programme too. It appears that there is another (as yet unexplored) chamber hidden behind some of the wall paintings - watch this space !!!

 

yes thats the one

 

I thought that was old news! That it wasn't properly explored by now is because they can't get to it without tearing up the inside of the pyramid. It's connected by a ventilation shaft (or possibly a shaft with spiritual meaning) to the discovered chamber and they tried to move a robot thingie with camera through it years ago, but the other end was blocked.

 

Lol.

Egypt, sphinx, pyramid, tomb, Zeus.

 

That's what I thought too.  I had to look twice.
