Why propel spacecraft when we can dream big. Shift the whole planet! Muahaha.

Key Points

• A rocket team reports the first successful detection of Earth’s ambipolar electric field: a weak, planet-wide electric field as fundamental as Earth’s gravity and magnetic fields.
• First hypothesized more than 60 years ago, the ambipolar electric field is a key driver of the “polar wind,” a steady outflow of charged particles into space that occurs above Earth’s poles.
• This electric field lifts charged particles in our upper atmosphere to greater heights than they would otherwise reach and may have shaped our planet’s evolution in ways yet to be explored.

Thanks! I was having so much fun I didn’t notice.

Complete model collapse can’t come soon enough.

Crashing has not been an issue on my deck. I’m 3 days shy of my 2 year anniversary with my steam deck. I can recall it crashing maybe 3 or 4 times, each of those linked to some custom game launcher and all in the default mode rather than desktop. For a while it used to hang when woken from sleep, but that hasn’t happened in 6 months so I assume was fixed in an update.

I’m using desktop for emulation and games from GOG and Epic.

Fecal Mist, the new fragrance for him, by Dior.

In the same cubicle is an angry, impatient toilet. It has a goatee.

‘Watch Dogs’ is what I do at the park. ‘Watchdogs’ are guardians or protectors. The name of this game has irritated me for a long time.

TL;DR Photo editing features on devices back to Pixel 6.

We’ve spotted evidence suggesting that Reimagine and Auto Frame, the two new Magic Editor features, could soon be available on Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 series phones.

It is the horseshoe crab of trees

Given the right conditions, some plants can live indefinitely. Others die shortly after seeding.

Do plants die of old age though? Now that question has been put in my head, I need to know.

Be back in a bit, going down a rabbit hole.

I commend your efforts. Good work.

Still unused in the packaging, I hope

A bucket of dehydrated water, which you have to reconstitute by adding water, in order to put out an invisible fire. No idea what kind of game you’re making, could be a very odd addition to something like a racing sim.

I’m going to use this next time my wife complains about my noisy farts.

Is it a nice cabinet? I like a good walnut cabinet with at least 2 shelves.

As an aside, the ‘ever trustworthy’ Google AI suggests, ‘completely ionizing a human body would require an energy output similar to a very small nuclear explosion’.

Disclaimer: I have nothing more than a secondary education level of physics and a keen interest in physics in general.

It’s common scientific belief that all physical forces are backed up by a field, for example, magnetism by the electromagnetic field, gravity by a gravity field. It would follow that the strong and weak nuclear forces also have corresponding fields.

For a disruptor to work as seen in fiction, you’d probably be looking to disrupt the weak nuclear force, and would need a mechanism to locally change the properties of the corresponding weak nuclear field.

I don’t know if there is such a mechanism available to us currently. Hopefully someone else has a definitive answer.
