Кузовок-кубик Ostracion cubicus.

Обитает в водах Тихого и Индийского океанов в районах рифов, а также в Атлантическом океане у юго-западного побережья Африки.Продолжительность жизни в среднем составляет до 6 лет.

Это достаточно крупная рыба, максимальная длина тела до 45 см. Основной отличительной характеристикой данного вида рыб является кубическая форма его тела. Молодые представители отряда иглобрюхообразных имеют длину до 4 см и яркий желтый оттенок с редким вкраплением контрастных тёмных пятнышек. С течением времени тело рыбки может терять свою необычную форму, вытягиваясь, и приобретать грязно-коричневый оттенок, при этом серединка посветлевших пятен становится голубой. Тело кубика защищено костными пластинами, образующие достаточно крепкий панцирь. Благодаря подобному строению рыба способна отлично защищаться от хищников. Кроме того, кубики при ранении или тревоге могут выделять через кожу токсичную слизь, вырабатываемую в кишечнике и накапливающуюся в печени. Она способна убивать любую оказавшуюся поблизости рыбу. При этом, у кузовок-кубиков нет колючих игл, а лучи плавничков - мягкие. Грудными плавниками эти рыбки прогоняют воду через жабры, а не только используют их для плавания.

Обитают в защищенных лагунах и рифах. Ведут бентопелагический образ жизни. Молодняк часто встречается среди жестких кораллов Акропора. Обычная глубина обитания до 50 м. Максимальная зарегистрированная глубина обитания составила 280 м. Кузовки-кубики очень пугливы и при опасности прячутся в гуще кораллов. Встречаются поодиночке. Питается водорослями, различными беспозвоночными, моллюсками, губками. В период размножения у кузовков существуют брачные игры: самец кружится вокруг самки и затем они подымаются высоко над рифом, иногда даже к поверхности воды.

Cube fish Ostracion cubicus.

It lives in the waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans in reef areas, as well as in the Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Africa. Life expectancy is on average up to 6 years.

This is a fairly large fish, the maximum body length is up to 45 cm. The main distinguishing characteristic of this fish species is the cubic shape of its body. Young representatives of the pufferfish order have a length of up to 4 cm and a bright yellow hue with rare interspersed contrasting dark spots. Over time, the body of the fish can lose its unusual shape, stretching out, and acquire a dirty brown hue, while the middle of the lightened spots becomes blue. The body of the cube is protected by bone plates, forming a fairly strong shell. Thanks to this structure, the fish is able to defend itself from predators. In addition, when injured or alarmed, cubes can secrete toxic mucus through the skin, which is produced in the intestines and accumulates in the liver. It is capable of killing any fish that is nearby. At the same time, cube boxfish do not have prickly needles, and the rays of the fins are soft. These fish use their pectoral fins to push water through their gills, and not only use them for swimming.

They live in protected lagoons and reefs. They lead a benthopelagic lifestyle. Juveniles are often found among hard Acropora corals. The usual habitat depth is up to 50 m. The maximum recorded habitat depth was 280 m. Cube boxfish are very timid and hide in the thick of corals when in danger. They are found alone. They feed on algae, various invertebrates, mollusks, and sponges. During the breeding season, boxfish have mating games: the male circles around the female and then they rise high above the reef, sometimes even to the surface of the water.

The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has put out a call for international and industry partners to contribute science payloads to its Chang’e-8 lunar lander, set for launch to the Moon in 2028. The mission, which will involve a lander, a rover, and a utility robot, will be China’s first attempt at in-situ resource utilization on the Moon, using lunar regolith to produce brick-like building materials. Just like NASA’s Artemis plans, the CNSA’s plans for the Moon are targeted at the Lunar south pole, which is expected to be rich in useable resources, especially water. The presence of these resources will be vital for long-term human activity on the lunar surface. Possible landing sites for Chang’e-8 include Leibnitz Beta, Amundsen crater, Cabeus crater, and the ridge connecting the Shackleton and de Gerlache craters, according to a presentation by Chang’e-8 chief deputy designer in October 2023. Chang’e-8 will be the last CNSA robotic mission to be launched before construction begins on the International Lunar Research Station, China’s crewed moonbase being planned in collaboration with Russia’s Roscosmos. That makes Chang’e-8’s attempt to create building materials out of regolith a vital proof-of-concept for their lunar aspirations. In order to make moon-bricks, the lander will carry an instrument that uses solar energy to melt lunar soil and turn it into useable parts at a speed of 40 cubic cm per hour. Alongside the regolith processing equipment, the lander will be equipped with an array of science instruments, including cameras, a seismometer to detect moonquakes, and an x-ray telescope. Part of the mission will focus on moon-based Earth observation, with several instruments designed to monitor Earth’s atmosphere and magnetosphere. The rover, meanwhile, will carry ground penetrating radar, cameras, a mineral analyzer, and tools for collecting and storing samples (leaving open the possibility of future missions to retrieve the samples). The utility robot is a key piece of the mission, but CNSA isn’t developing it in-house. Instead, the space agency is seeking proposals from partners interested in developing it as a piggyback payload to ride alongside the rest of Chang’e-8. According to the call for proposals, the 100kg, battery-powered robot will need to be able to “capture, carry and place items, shovel, and transfer lunar soil.” It will also need to be able to travel at 400m per hour. There is room for an additional 100kg of piggyback payloads besides the robot, for which full proposals are expected to be submitted later this year. While planning for Chang’e 8 is ongoing, the CNSA has two additional robotic moon missions in the works for the near future. The first, Chang’e-6, will launch this spring, and aims to return a regolith sample from the lunar far side (a never before accomplished feat). The next mission is planned for 2026, when Chang’e-7 will carry out a geological examination of the permanently shadowed craters scattered around the Moon’s south pole. The post China's Chang'e-8 Mission Will Try to Make Bricks on the Moon appeared first on Universe Today.

It’s time for another sfth fact check! This time concerning the Cardboard Stegosaurus.

Pierre has blocked the Eurotunnel with two blocks of granite.

Some facts about granite:

Granite has a hardness from 6 to 8 on the Mohs scale (depending on the source). It’s very resistant but far from unbreakable (diamond is at 10 on the scale).

Granite’s density apparently varies between 2,63 and 2,75. For the calculations we’ll use 2,7 meaning granite weighs 2700 kilograms by cubic meter.

Some facts about the Eurotunnel:

The Eurotunnel is 50 km long, with a 38 km section under the sea. For those who don’t know this is a train tunnel. It’s actually two tunnels, each with one train track.

The tunnels have a 7,6m diameter, so a 180 m^2 section (rounded down to account for the sidewalk, track and catenary, but still an overshot imo).

The tunnels are connected in two places to allow train redirection (if necessary).

To block all trains, Pierre would have likely chosen this spot, nearest to France:

Assuming this intersection is at one fourth of way underwater, this would place it ¼*37+3,7(the French underground section) = 12,95 km from the French side. The actual distance doesn’t matter that much in regard to literally everything else but it’s nice to get an order of magnitude.

The varying width of the tunnel on the graph (specifically at the intersections) could let us think there are two tracks (and two catenaries) in here. So do we double the section?

I haven’t found easily accessible information on it so let’s say yes.

Now, what thickness do we think the slabs are? I originally wanted to say 50 cm but let’s be gracious and say they’re 20 cm thick.

Each slab would be composed of 72 m^3 of granite and weigh nearly 200 tonnes (194,4), or 200000 kilograms each (about apparently 33 stegosauruses).

There are still a lot of logistical questions I do not want to think about, such as how can this man move 200t with each arm over 12 kms (probably more, we don’t know where he got them from), without damaging the tunnels (catenaries, sidewalks and all the other stuff) (I mean maybe sideways? But how to put them properly afterwards, and have it all be airtight at that?), without being stopped before entering the tunnel or apparently being noticed by, let’s say an eighth (half of a fourth) of the 36000 sensors inside the tunnels, so 4500 sensors.

They mentioned air would be running out. Somehow, I don’t think there wouldn’t be a service tunnel exit at an intersection? Imagine they’re all being like "oh no I’m dying :(" and a door opens and someone goes "what is going on in here?"

And Cliff and Chip? They, what, ran almost 40 km with drills in hand? In the service tunnel in the best case scenario? Why weren’t they picked up by the sensors?

What the fuck is this bullshit security?

FOTD #092 : crab of the woods! (laetiporus sulphureus)

the crab of the woods (also sulphur shelf / polypore) is a bracket fungus of the family fomitopsidaceae. it is a saprophyte & weak parasite that often causes brown cubical rot !! it grows across europe & north america :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? yes & it is quite delicious :-) it has been compared to the taste of crab, lobster & chicken. some deer also eat it !! however, humans should not eat it raw.

l. sulphureus description :

"the fruiting body emerges directly from the trunk of a tree & is initially knob-shaped, but soon expands to fan-shaped shelves, typically growing in overlapping tiers. it is sulphur-yellow to bright orange in colour & has a suede-like texture. old fruitbodies fade to tan or whitish. each shelf may be anywhere from 5 to 60 centimetres (2 to 23+1⁄2 inches) across up to 4 cm (1+1⁄2 in) thick. the fertile surface is sulphur-yellow with small pores or tubes & produces a white spore print. when fresh, the flesh is succulent with a strong fungal aroma & exudes a yellowish, transparent juice, but soon becomes dry & brittle."

On the left, the Oni! 10 ft (3m) tall, intelligent, and have magic to turn invisible and charm people and shapeshift! They can even fly! They also love dancing and music, and look at that smile!

On the right, the mimic! It can look like any object, is strong and sticky enough to grapple near anyone, and some are actually able to hold a conversation. Most just don't bother learning languages since they aren't social creatures. While they can keep growing without much limit, on average they're about 15 cubic feet in volume. Which is a 5 by 2 by 1.5 ft rectangle (152 cm by 61 cm by 36 cm). That's the size of a double-stuffed body pillow, but with moveable orifices and massive tongue!

Alrighty.. just putting this here for safekeeping and so maybe it’ll be easier to explain. On Feb 17, 2024 my boyfriend at the time woke up around 9:30 am to me having a seizure. He took me to a research hospital in the area and we got to the ED around 11 am. They did a CT and an MRI and have found what they called a 4 cm tumor in my right frontal lobe. I had another MRI in the middle of March and got more measurements on the size of the tumor. Based on the measurements, I did the math and found it was 119 cubic cm (about the size of a billiards ball). I had a right frontal craniotomy on April 1, 2024. They were able to remove the entire tumor and my MRI the evening after surgery showed no residual tumor. I’ve met with an oncologist and we waited for pathology results. Pathology came back as a Grade 3 Astrocytoma with the IDH1 mutation. I have started 500 mg of Tibsovo daily to keep it from growing back, or at least slow it down. There isn’t a cure for brain tumors, so we just wait for it to come back and do surgery again. If you’ve read this far into my real life shit, I appreciate any well wishes, thoughts, and prayers if you’re religious. I try to keep my spirits up and handle things rationally but some days that is a little more difficult. I’m stuck on antiseizure medication for at least a year from my latest seizure (luckily it’s still just the seizure in Feb 2024) and cannot drive per my state’s laws for a year from the last seizure as well.

Luckily my job has been flexible with me since February but trying to get back to full time hours is a struggle, especially if I want to take care of myself as well (bathing, eating, cleaning, etc). Also, lots of back and forth with insurance companies and the hospital and lots of scans and follow up appointments.

6 month MRI was clean. “No progression” and “stable burden of disease”. Joint pain has been mostly managed with new meds.

I moved in with my “friends” who turned into girlfriend, fiancée, and wife very quickly (we had a hand fasting ceremony Oct 6, 2024) and her husband became my boyfriend as well. Being in a functional throuple is new to them, so there have been some hiccups but everything is looking up. 💜

sleepy. let me tell you how much ive come to be sleepy since i began to live. there are 100 billion neurons filling my 1,200 cubic cm of cerebra. if the word sleepy was engraved on each dendrite and each axon in those one hundred billion neurons it would not equal one one-billionth of the sleepiness i feel at this micro-instant. sleepy. sleepy

I have been researching the history of board games for school lately. That`s an insanely intersting topic! So here I bring y`all some dice from Egypt. And I have more to come

6 sided die, 30 B.C.–A.D. 364, Egypt, Serpentinite?, H. 1.8 cm,  L. 1.7 cm, W. 1.6 cm, it`s at the Met nowadays

Btw cubic dice have been used in the Near East since the 3rd millennium B.C. Over time, different systems were used for distributing the points. The familiar arrangement of opposite sides adding up to seven (1-6, 2-5, 3-4) only became common later, as reflected by this die

Welcome back to Science Sunday, where we analyze the science of comics and also it's Sunday!! I told you I'd bring the series back if I had a good idea, and I did!! I was watching One Piece earlier and Aokiji froze the ocean, which got me thinking, how powerful would that make him? That's what we'll analyze today!

For those unfamiliar with the series, Aokiji is a high ranking member of the navy with ice powers! He travels without a ship, choosing instead to freeze the ocean and bike across it (pictured below). He has been shown in several scenes freezing large quantities of salt water with minimal effort in a matter of seconds.

Since most of One Piece takes place in tropical climates, we'll be using temperatures from the Caribbean! The average surface ocean temperature in the Caribbean is 27 degrees Celsius according to seatemperature.org. Seawater freezes at 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, around -2 degrees Celsius. Multiple people are seen walking across this frozen water. Ice needs to be at least 10 cm thick to safely walk across it according to ice safety tips from My Wild Alberta.

With all that info attained, we can calculate how much water Aokiji would need to freeze to ride his bike. He would need to freeze 10 cubic centimeters of seawater for each centimeter he rides forward, dropping the temperature of the water 29 degrees in the process. Road Bike claims a beginner cyclist would average a speed of 10 to 12 mph (about 16 to 19 kmph), with an experienced cyclist hitting 16 to 19 mph (25.7 to 30.5 kph). We'll take the lowest and fastest rate to have two possible power measurements of Aokiji. Knowing the world of One Piece, he's probably much faster than even the faster time, but this is still a relatively easy task for him anyways, so it wouldn't give us a full power measurement regardless.

for the slowest speed of 16 kmph, Aokiji wou;d be covering 1.6 million cm per hour, or 444.4 cm per second. This means he would need to freeze 4444 cubic cm of water each second. That is roughly the equivalent four and a half liters. That's a lot of fluid to freeze in one second, especially given the fact he'd need to lower it's temperature by 29 degrees to do so. In the fastest condition, Aokiji would cover 3.05 million cm per hour, or 847.2 cm. This would mean freezing 8472 cubic cm of water per second, nearly eight and a half liters. These are both enormous sums of water to freeze in a single second, especially given how effortless Aokiji's travel seems to be for him.

Water has a specific heat capacity of 4.186 J/g°C, meaning it takes 4.186 joules of energy to heat one gram of water one degree Celsius. one liter of water weighs about 1000 grams, meaning Aokiji would be taking 539,474.936 joules of energy out of the water to freeze it in the slow condition, with 1,028,449.968 joules in the fastest condition. Because he is doing all this in one second, these energy estimates can also be measured in watts (joules per second). Burlington Hydro lists out the watt usage of common household appliances, with the oven being the highest at 12,500. This comes nowhere near Aokiji's lowest estimate of 539,474.936 watts. Aokiji could power 43 ovens on the low estimate, and 82 on the highest estimate. That's a lot of energy! And keep in mind, this isn't any feat of strength coming from Aokiji. This is just how he travels from place to place. The ice ice fruit is pretty serious stuff!!

The new tuning proposed by HKS is this Legal GTO!! Legal GTO by HKS

Sales 0544541077

One of the types of tuning that HKS proposes is "Legal."It is a group of parts that meet vehicle inspections and allow you to drive on public roads legally.

Then, with those parts as the main,

The GTO with +α tuning was born here. It's called "Legal GTO." Of course, it goes without saying that this is a complete model for modification applications.

The exterior features a stealth F bumper and S step.

The overall length is 40mm longer than the base vehicle.

The turbine has been changed from the standard 09B to 13G.

Only the compressor side will be increased in size.

Equipped with Power Flow (prototype) 75mm left and right dual legal muffler.

The main fuel will be controlled by F/CON and GCCⅡ. Boost is controlled by EVC and SBC.

Although it is quite capable, it produces a power of 337.7ps/5536rpm and a torque of 48.41kg-m/4798rpm at a maximum boost pressure of 1.0kg/cubic cm

The suspension is an original kit. The spring rate is increased from F3.9 → 5.29, R2.8 →3.29 kg/mm

Regarding the wheel size, the set size for the complete model is 16 inches. For models after M/C, 17 was set as the original setting, so 17 inches is also possible. By the way, the photo shows the reference type for after M/C, which is Weds' Adura 17×8JJ and AVS's 235/45-17.

Time sensitive question how many ducks could hypothetically fit in a 2004 honda civic

sure, why not

first question: how big is a 2004 honda civic?

according to here, a 2004 honda civic has a passenger volume of 91.4 cubic feet, but that isn't nearly enough. you're also going to want to stuff some ducks in the trunk, which gives you an additional 12.9 cubic feet and a total of 104.3 cubic feet

second question: how big is a duck?

well, what kind of duck? let's go with a mallard duck

yeah, sure, seems pretty duck shaped

according to here, a mallard duck "has an overall length between 19.7”-28” (50-71 cm), body width of 6.3”-9.1” (16-23 cm), and standing height of roughly 12.6”-17.7” (32-45 cm)."

let's take the average of all of those measurements: (19.7+28)/2 = 23.85 inches (6.3+9.1)/2 = 7.7 inches (12.6+17.7)/2 = 15.15 inches

multiply those together to get the size of a cube-shaped duck, at 2782.22 cubic inches. turn it into feet by dividing by 1728 to match our car measurement, giving us 1.61 cubic feet

take our 104.3 cubic feet and divide it by 1.61, which gives us a total duck amount of 64.78 ducks.

but wait a minute. see that picture of a duck? there's a whole lot of empty space that isn't filled by duck inside our duck cube.

that's a lot of wasted duck space. I bet you could fit two ducks inside that space. multiplying our number of ducks by two gives us a total duck amount of 129.56

but what if you were really dedicated. lets say you strip the car, wholly focused on fitting as many ducks as possible into it. if we calculate by the external size of the car, we can ignore all those pesky useless things like seats and an engine.

the same site lists the external dimensions as

175.4 inches long 56.7 inches tall 67.5 inches wide

a car is rectangular enough from the top, but there's a good chunk of empty space in our length and width dimensions that we can't stuff ducks into if we want them to say inside the car.

we can mock this up in blender, which actually has an addon that will calculate the volume of an object for us because im a lazy piece of shit. import our side view

bring in our top and front views and line them up

create our vaguely car-shaped object with our reference images

boolean out our tires

double check our measurements

175.4/12=14.617 feet

14.6169 is about as close to 14.617 as we're gonna get

hit that analyze button

186.75 cube feet of duck room 186.75/1.61 = 115.99 we'll call it 116 multiply by two to get our double duck number

I estimate you could fit about 232 ducks into a 2004 honda civic

why do you ask?
