Do you have a source for this? I'd love to look into it further.

That would be a great idea, and could even help combat climate change.

Your pregnancy has COVID?

The Slow Mo Guys showed that's not how it works. Perhaps we should request a re-try with a tungsten ball.

A better comment would be delay in seconds as that is the one thing not obvious from glancing at the code.

What's the round trip energy efficiency?

[-] 18107@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

I suspect it would rapidly react and give off energy as heat. This would likely be incompatible with life.

Not an expert.

My psychologist explained that it is hard to feel happy, satisfied, or fullfilled if you're exhausted. Happiness required energy.
Students who have just finished a long exam are a great example. They've just spent hours focusing as hard as they can, and they're all exhausted. Not many would describe themselves as happy immediately after.

Hyper focusing can use a lot of energy even though you're not aware of it. When you finally stop, you become aware of just how little energy you have left.

My psychologist recommended mindfulness. Recognise when you're exhausted, be aware of the causes (lack of rest, food, water...), and accept that it will take time for you to start feeling better again.

Understanding what's happening can make the symptoms more bearable.

I've found that some people don't respond if you ask for confirmation "will that be finished by tomorrow?". Asking in the negative allows for you to assume everything is fine unless they respond "the due date is tomorrow, please let me know if you need help to finish that on time".

Perhaps it's less polite, but if you're dealing with people who rarely reply, it puts the burden on them and doesn't leave you waiting for their reply.
