Why New York’s Billionaires’ Row Is Half Empty

Manhattan’s skyscrapers aren’t really built for people anymore.

1. Since there are no restrictions in the opposite direction, you could have a fat underground complex, anchoring the building as a whole.

2. Advanced materials like bonded superdense, could create stratospheric spires.

3. You could have a tailsitter at one to twenty four ratio, and have each deck specialized.

4. Each deck one suite of staterooms, plus facilities.

5. You could also build these as space stations.

6. Might qualify as ship shares.

7. Or, if the cost is several ship shares, treat it as a time share.

8. I wonder if space stations are subject to property tax?

2B25 silent mortar

Rosoboronexport presents a commando-type mortar – compact, lightweight and extremely silent 2B25. With the weight of only 13 kg the mortar can be transported by a crew of two and is deployed within 30 seconds.

Despite its small dimensions the 2B25 delivers 82 mm shells of special design that ensure low noise level when fired. The mortar is designed for special forces, commandos, counter-terrorist units and the like and it is indispensable in urban warfare.

The Van Allen Belts Are Dangerous - But Didn't Keep Us From The Moon | Answers With Joe

The Van Allen Belts are areas of high radiation where solar particles have been trapped and accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field. This has long been touted as evidence by conspiracy theorists that we couldn't have gotten to the moon. But while the Van Allen Belts are dangerous, the tenacity and genius of NASA engineers literally found a way around them. Here's how.

Avatar 2: Everything You Need To Know

Avatar 2 is one of the most-hyped movies of 2022…maybe even of the last decade. But when does Avatar 2 come out? With a release date of December 16, 2022, we seem to be on the final runway to another adventure on the distant moon of Pandora. But this time, according to series Director James Cameron, we’ll be exploring Pandora’s ocean ecosystems. Yes, Sam Worthington’s Jake and Zoe Saldana’s Neytiri will be stepping out of the forest and into the world of the Metkayina, a sea-faring Na’vi clan we’ll meet in the sequel. Joining them will be a cast of young actors portraying their kids, including Jack Champion as ‘Spider,’ the couple’s adopted human son.

Also returning to the cast are CCH Pounder as Mo'rat, Giovanni Ribisi as Parker Selfridge, and Joel David Moore as Dr. Norm Spellman. Two surprising returns are Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang, whose Dr. Grace Augustine and General Miles Quaritch seemingly died in the original Avatar film. According to Cameron and Producer Jon Landau, Weaver will be playing a different character in Avatar 2, whereas Stephen Lang will be playing General Quaritch. We don’t know exactly how Quaritch will make his return to Pandora, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this technologically advanced version of humanity has a few cloning tricks up their sleeves…

New cast additions include Kate Winslet as a Na'vi called Ronal, Edie Falco as General Ardmore of the RDA, Jermaine Clement as a marine biologist, Michelle Yeoh as scientist Dr. Karina Mogue, and Oona Chaplin & Vin Diesel as mYsTeRy RoLeS.

Hopefully we don’t see more disruptions with Avatar 2’s release and can finally see what James Cameron has been cooking up for the past 13 years when it releases on December 16, 2022! Eywa ngahu!

Traveller: Mysteries on Arcturus Station - RPG Overview

This collection of two investigative adventures aboard a space station can be played individually or as a series. 'The Hunt for Sabre IV' is written by myself, as the Travellers must uncover the conspiracy behind and locate a stolen ore carrier. The second scenario is my revised and updated version to J. Andrew Keith's 1983 classic 'Murder on Arcturus Station.'

The Reality of Gauss Rifles and Coil Guns w/ David Wirth of Arcflash Labs

David Wirth is one of the founders of Arcflash Labs, a small company developing "ultra-high energy pulsed power supplies", which have applications in a variety of fields - but today we are talking about electromagnetic weaponry. Arcflash is currently shipping out their first batch of commercial GR-1 "Anvil" shoulder-fired gauss rifles. They brought one down for me to try out, and I figured it would be best to start with some background discussion. So today, David and I are talking about how coil guns and rail guns work (and what the difference between the two is), how Arcflash came about developing the GR-1, where they expect the technology to go, and the applications for this and future mass accelerators.

(For the record, I love being able to write a description like this and legitimately use terms like "rail gun" and "gauss rifle"...)

So, check it out! And stick around for a detailed look at the GR-1 Anvil on Friday, and the lunacy of me taking it to a Backup Gun Match on Saturday...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIl1XmEDdVY


1. Magnetic reluctance.

2. Lorenz force.

3. Early prototype.

4. Capacitors versus batteries.

5. Coil guns/mass drivers get more efficient at larger calibres.

6. Railguns higher velocities and lower masses.

7. Deteriorating components.

8. Transformers in the charger vibrating faster.

9. No set chamber, so magazines/bullets of different sizes.

A. Impart spin through magnetic field.

B. Computerized adjustment.

The hidden reason Olympic sledding is so dangerous

In recent years, the sliding community — made up of skeleton, bobsleigh, and luge athletes — has experienced a spate of brain injury-related tragedy. At first glance, the reason why seems obvious: Sleds regularly reach speeds that top 90 miles per hour, and crashes are unfortunately very common.

But there is growing research that shows it might be the act of sledding itself that is the main driver of brain injury. With every run, athletes are exposed to immense force and vibration, causing micro-concussions that can ultimately add up to major damage. Those concussions are mild enough that they can go undiagnosed. But among sledding athletes the symptoms that indicate a micro-concussion — headaches, dizziness, etc. — are so common they have a special nickname, “sled head.”

There’s a lot science still doesn’t know about sled head and the brain in general. But from what we can tell, it’s pretty clear that sliding sports put the brain health of athletes at risk.

Game Developer Accuses Real-Life Weapons Manufacturer of Stealing Its Gun Design... Twice

IGN investigates the story behind an indie game studio's claim that Kalashnikov Concern, Russia's largest arms manufacturer, stole a shotgun design from a game the studio was developing to make a real life shotgun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcAQ2G52wxw


1. Nice aesthetics.

2. Russians.

3. Well, capitalistic Russians.

4. Fixer.

5. Apparently, selling a concept, and then finding a third party to deliver on it.

6. I think a simple shotgun design is optimal, just not visually exciting.
