In theory pretty good. I have solar that does about 80% of my daily use. Battery backup islanded to the solar for the fridge and freezer and the electronics in the gas water heater. Plus a few outlets in each room. I’ve got a gas range and induction burner so I can cook two ways.

Pretty much comes down to water and food. I’ve got about 4 days of water and maybe a month of food. If the water keeps flowing I can boil it as needed.

I’d love to see muppets do Hellraiser. Kermi has such sights to show you. YAAAAAAAYYYY.

Yup

In the sense that it’s two different but similar states.

I’m pretty sure we can say it’s not actually spin now. Electrons have a charge and a magnetic field. If they are charged and spinning that world generate a magnetic field. So spin was used to describe the orientation of the field. The name for the state stuck

I know the usual way uses oscillating magnetic fields and it being very cold. There are other ways i’m not familiar with. I’m a classical computer engineer not a quantum computer engineer. I’m more used to energy bandgap then spin control.

Warhammer 40k. I’m still a part of it. There are some cool and smart people in it.

But there are also a large group of raceist, misogynist, jerks. Then there are the people who are incredibly annoying to play against because of poor social skills. There is always at least one guy who really needs a shower.

This is a bit outside my field. That said I don’t think so.

The overall crystal should be very weakly magnetic. You want strong magnet with a high flux density so the electric field can push or pull against it.

I think this would be more useful in quantum computing as you get two bits polarity and spin. Or high density storage.

But who knows. There are clever physicists out there that know a lot more about this. They presumably see many more possibilities then I do. If the effect can be interrupted you could stitch between states. Like turning a magnet on and off. That would have uses like you described.

This article is a mess and badly written.

Basicly magnetism comes from electron spin orientation. There are two well known spin configurations.

Ferromagnetism: there is at least one electron with a spin that isn’t paired with an opposite spin electron. That atom then has a north and south magnetic pole. Like iron. Arrange all the atoms pointing the same way and you have a refrigerator magnet.

antiferromagnetism: all the electrons in the atom are paired with an opposite spin election. It’s complicated but basically they couple together and there isn’t a magnetic pole outside the atom. Like in copper.

Altermagnetism: what this article is about. You have a crystal of atoms with an unpaired electrons. The crystal would normally be ferromanetic. However they are arranged in a regular set of pairs that cause the electron spin to cancle out. Think of a checkerboard pattern where each white square cancels a black square next to it.

The antiferromagnetism and altermagnetism both have the spins cancelled out but the mechanism is different so there are different properties. Kramers degenerate vs wavevector.

In theory this gives you an extra state spin. So a magnetic drive uses a pattern of north and south to encode information. Ie NNSN becomes 0010.

With this you have north, south but also spin left, right. So you can encode more information.

'Allo 'Allo!: “The gateau from the chateau.”

I love jokes that are one huge setup. The series in general is great for that as each episode starts with an absurd but accurate recap.

Short answer you are correct it’s not worth it. The massive cost of a bigger tower and gravity turbine aren’t worth the tiny energy you get.

This video covers the basics of how cooling towers work to reuse as much of the energy as is reasonable.

Pills in blister packs instead of a bottle also reduces suicides. Just having to open a bunch of pill blisters instead of downing a bottle makes a noticeable difference.

I’m a fan of cleave which can mean to split in two or to stick together. Each meaning has a different root.

Yup I4 is bad but Miami is brutal. In Miami a turn signal is a .25 second warning to get out of the way. (Lifelong central Florida resident)

I remember a time when people got into arguments over who played a roll in a movie. one time we drove to a video rental store to settle it.

The Greeks are expert at trolling the Italians.

They pushed the stakes so high that when the fights are just everyone punching and kicking each other it’s stupid and silly.

It always makes me think of the reenactment of the battle of Pearl Harbor.

I have my old laserdisk player and a few LDs.

They appeal to different aspects of entertainment. Other than being scifi franchise from the 70s that have lasted through today they are completely different types of shows.

I don’t want to bash you for likeing Star Wars but I’m the exact opposite in what I want. I find Star Wars dull and uninteresting and love the dialog, mystery, and problems of Star Trek. (I can’t deal with nutrek)

I think it’s like pizza vs sushi. You can like one, both, or none but one is never going to satisfy if you are in the mood for the other.

We have ships with city destroying weapons now. Rouge captains and crews don’t go around turning cities or even islands into glass just because.

Damn. Thanks that’s a perspective I’d never have thought of. Though I’d also have kept Tuvix around.
