52·13 days agoas i understand, this is what bellingcat uses as a major source of data when reporting on russian activities
“It is one of the paradoxes of modern Russia: on the one hand, these services are illegal and rely on leaked data, yet on the other, they are far more convenient for day-to-day police work than the multitude of official departmental databases,”
gaben on piracy: “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,”

There is a thermal energy storage included as s major part. This works because compressing CO2 to 55atm adiabatically heats it up to some 450-ish C, so that heat is pretty high grade, and only the final stage cools it down with heat exchanger open to air. In discharging direction, some heat is taken from outside air to evaporate part of CO2 and heat stored is used up
compressors, turbines (like steam turbines), piping, some of which heat-resistant (500C), container for liquid carbon dioxide, lots of plastic for the bubble, something for thermal storage, dry and clean carbon dioxide, these aren’t unusual or restricted resources, don’t depend on critical raw materials or anything like that
Compressed air without heat recovery is more like 30%, so this is huge
Carbon dioxide can be liquefied relatively easily which is what i guess makes this efficient
the mixup is that actual distillery gets 96% (192 proof) azeotrope during distillation (fuel and some other specific uses can bring it up to 100%) then dilutes it with water to 40%. technically, it’s correct
wood, magnesium, aluminum, plastics, they say titanium is bad, but i’d expect iron, nickel, manganese, tungsten, silver, maybe zinc to be worse
When, not if, element crashes (android or webapp or desktop, all do that), you get logged out and in order to access encrypted groups (dms are encrypted groups with 2 members) you need recovery key, or room keys (you can export them). If you have exchanged keys in person, then the first one recovers it too, the second doesn’t
Matrix lacks some of discord features, but the point is encryption it provides
Matrix is different and does different things, also you have to keep your security key written down and nobody’s gonna help you if you get locked out of your account without it

this is name for wearer, nor the device
3·25 days agoapparently ww1 era british soldiers figured out that cordite works like amyl but shittier (more specifically, nitroglycerin part) https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/abaf/009c8713aadd8accbb03b2b40a93b5c3c77a.pdf
smokeless powder is, sort of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerin#Industrial_exposure
Sr-90 that was involved in cases you mention is strong beta emitter, but Pu-238 isn’t, it’s mostly-alpha emitter, so it’ll only get dangerous if somebody ingests it, but it’s a piece of ceramic inside a strong case
dude, people join irl face to face cults, of course they do
