Kuroo cat person!

You were writing a College language paper and it was kicking your butt. You had missed class scheduling period, so you were stuck with some of the most difficult professors on campus.  

Specifically this one professor had decided that you must be plagiarizing, but couldn’t find any evidence. All and all, the work he was having you do dragged late into the night. 

And on one particular night, you had a buddy. He was a small calico who had no thoughts in his head. You and Kuroo had picked him up off the streets. For some reason the cat had decided that you were the favorite person. 

“Kuroo! Come get your cat! Hese being an asshole!” You lightly try to tap the cat away from your laptop. When that doesn’t work, you blow in his face.

You hear footsteps coming down the stairs as the cat goes back to asking for attention. You turn around to face your boyfriend. “Take him, I need to get a paper done.” 

You were tired and really wanted to get this paper finished so you could sleep. Kuroo’s arms snake past you as he reaches for the cat. 

He picks the cat up gently and turns towards you. His face is twisted into a sarcastic pout. “i'm insulted that you think my cat could be anything less than perfect!” 

You roll your eyes with a smile on your face; “He is a perfect little bean, he is just sitting on my laptop and I need to get work done”

Kuroo smiles and looks at his cat. “Its his favorite napping place!”

You huff out a laugh “Your impossible”

You open your laptop and begin to write out your essay. Your boyfriend says in the room going to sit on a nearby chair. 

After about an half an hour of quiet, you hear his voice from your left. “…Do you want to hear a potassium joke?”

You swivel you chair to face him, he got this goofy little heron on his face. “Sure?”

He looks up at you and stares you straight in the eyes and says “K.”

You sit in silence for a second, then your eyes widen finally getting the joke. A cough escapes you throat as you try not to laugh.  “W-what?”

“You got it, i know you did” he looks smug.

You pause for a second to regain your composure before looking into his eyes and replying “I dont remember that element, but its on the tip of my tungsten.”

His eyes brighten with joy, “[Name], i love you so much” you smile back at him about to respond before-

Meow!

You glance down at the cat, who is now pawing at your boyfriend chest, trying to get attention. “It seems that your cat loves you too.”

Kuroo’s eyes narrow as he realizes that you have not once referred to the cat by his name, “Say the cat's name babe, you know it.”

He places the cat in your lap. You look at the cat and heave a sigh. “…hello… Erwin” the cat looks up at you curiously before reaching up…

… and batting you right in the face. 

You jump up, startling the Erwin as Kuroo laughs. “OW” Kuroo keeps laughing for a solid minute before a single sentence makes its way out of his mouth; “I guess he really is just an … Arsole”

(prev) When they started fighting Teddy rolled his eye and sidestepped to avoid getting tangled up in it. How annoying. Weren’t they older than him? At least their squabble fizzled out before he had to tell them to either stop acting like rambunctious brats around extremely valuable equipment or leave. Teddy briefly watched… whatever Revenard Miriam was doing until Revenard Mike addressed him. There was a twinkle in his eye as he handed a print out of his research to him. The front page was an abstract summarizing his results while the rest was a rough draft of detailed technical jargon describing his testing process, along with spreadsheets and graphs showing raw data. “I suspect that the blade itself is a tantalum hafnium alloy while the hilt is largely titanium diboride. The later is incredibly difficult to refine and manufacture so I’m impressed that they managed to form a relatively large amount into a solid object. And with such artistic flair at that.” “Unfortunately that means that if the sword is permanently ruined the hilt’s material can’t be repurposed. Or at least not with our current technology. Have we not rediscovered the process because it requires magic? Really, I’d love to see how advanced the Ormir civilization was before its collapse.” “It’ll require further analysis to find the exact composition of the tantalum hafnium alloy. So far tungsten and cobalt are my best guesses for the other elements. Speaking of, both materials exhibit unusual lattice structures. Or, more precisely, they’re roughly what you’d expect until you notice that there’s an abnormally low amount of defects.”

Mike accepted the print out and scanned through it while Teddy talked. Of course Mike didn’t understand much of the technical aspects of Teddy’s report, but he was actually quite interested in hearing what he had to say. He couldn’t deny he was impressed with his knowledge. 

The moment Teddy mentioned the Ormir civilization, a twinkle appeared in Mike’s own eye. Wanna know more about fallen ancient civilizations? Simply utter the name to Mike. It did make him stop paying attention to Teddy’s last blurb about lattice-whatevers, but he still waited patiently until he was done explaining before he started in on his own lecture. 

“You’re quite right in your assumption of the use of magic in the Ormir civilization’s technology. It was in fact one of the largest civilizations to have perfected a unique application of the magical arts and the sciences. Something like that is very rare, even in the modern day.”

“The source of their technology was, as the name of this sword suggests, what was referred to as Dragon’s Breath. You see, the Ormirons deeply worshiped Ormir, an ancient deity who took the physical form of a dragon. Ormir provided protection and his divine fire to the civilization. The divine properties of the fire were extensively studied and harnessed to be able to utilize the hard natural resources of the planet that normal heat didn't have much of an effect on. Unfortunately, an-”

Mike was interrupted when he heard the sound of metal scraping against a surface. He turned around to see Miriam had picked up the sword. Despite being twice her size, she seemingly held it effortlessly. 

She looked at Teddy. “Theodore. If I were to try and reignite this, is there anywhere I should go so as to not accidentally burn anything important in here?”

How Does MIG Welding Equipment Differ from Other Welding Equipment?

MIG welding equipment differs from other welding equipment primarily in the process it uses to join metal. MIG welding equipment (Metal Inert Gas welding) uses a continuous wire electrode that is fed through the welding gun and heated, allowing it to melt and join the metal pieces. This method makes MIG welding a speedy and efficient option, especially for beginners, as it requires less skill and provides cleaner welds with less spatter than many other types of welding.

In contrast, other types of welding equipment, such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding equipment and stick welding equipment, operate differently. TIG welding, for example, uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode, which means the electrode itself does not melt. TIG welding generally requires more precision and is better suited for thinner metals or more detailed work, but it can take more time and skill than MIG welding. Stick welding, on the other hand, uses a consumable electrode coated with flux, which creates slag as a protective layer over the weld but can lead to a rougher finish and requires more cleanup afterward. Each type of welding equipment serves different purposes and suits different project needs, which is why welding supply stores often carry a range of welding supplies to cater to various welding tasks.

MIG welding equipment is trendy for projects involving steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making it a versatile choice found in most welding supply store. This type of welding is also well-suited for general fabrication, repairs, and automotive work due to its ease of use and efficiency in creating solid welds. Because it uses an inert gas, usually argon or a mix of argon and carbon dioxide, MIG welding equipment helps to shield the weld from contaminants, leading to cleaner results.

For anyone starting with welding or looking for a reliable option for a variety of applications, MIG welding equipment is often a good choice. Many welding supply stores offer this type of welding equipment because it is widely used and appreciated for its simplicity, speed, and versatility. Understanding the differences among various welding processes can help you select the right tools from a welding supply store to match your specific project needs.

Focus on Quality and Performance: Selecting Reliable Dart Products

The game of darts has evolved from a casual pub activity to a competitive sport with a global following. As enthusiasts and professional players aim to improve their performance, selecting the right equipment becomes paramount. High-quality dart products do not just enhance the player's game but also ensure consistency and longevity. As such, discerning the best from a wide market selection of darts gear is an essential skill.

When selecting dart equipment, the focus must always be on quality and performance. This is particularly true for the most critical element – the dart itself. A dart's weight, balance, and grip are foundational to a player's technique. Most professional darts range between 18 to 26 grams. Finding the right weight that complements a player's throw can significantly improve precision and scoring potential.

The barrel is the next consideration – usually made from brass, nickel-silver, or tungsten, with tungsten being the favored material due to its dense yet slim profile allowing for tighter grouping without sacrificing weight. Barrels with strategic grip patterns and knurling can provide players with a comfortable hold, reducing slippage and enabling greater control.

Moving to the shaft, the connecting piece between the barrel and the flight, a player should aim for durability and the proper length to balance the dart. Shafts come in various materials including aluminum, carbon-fiber, and nylon, each offering different characteristics. Aluminum is durable but can bend, while carbon-fiber provides an optimal combination of strength and lightness.

Flights, the fins at the back of the dart, are essential for stability and trajectory. They come in various shapes and sizes, affecting the dart's aerodynamics. Standard shapes are suitable for longer shafts and steadier throws, while slimmer designs complement quicker throws and shorter shafts. Experimenting with flight types alongside a consistent throwing style is key to finding the right match.

Beyond individual parts, a quality dartboard is equally crucial. Bristle dartboards, the preferred choice for steel-tip darts, should have a self-healing surface to preserve the board's integrity and appearance over time, with a visible, non-fade number ring.

Accessories can also influence a player's performance. From cases that protect equipment to oche lines and mats that ensure the correct throwing distance, attention to detail can contribute to a player's peace of mind and game-time focus.

Finally, reliability extends to the manufacturer's reputation. Brands with a solid track record in supplying professionals often rigorously test their products for resilience and consistency. These brands may offer a more refined selection, which, albeit higher in price, reflects superior precision and performance.

In conclusion, quality and performance in dart products are non-negotiable for anyone serious about their game. As the market for dart supplies grows and diversifies, players must stay equipped with knowledge and a keen eye to select gear that can support them through countless matches and practice sessions.

@someguyiguess

You are somewhat right in that yes. The energy delivered via nuclear explosion and via kinetic energy are a bit different. A nuke releases its energy through intense radiation effectively superheating the gas and matter causing big boom through thermal expansion of the of the matter now turned into superheated plasma. It is actually more destructive to have a nuke detonate several hundred feet above the ground so that the shock wave is more destructive. At least in atmosphere. In vacuum there is no atmosphere to transmit a shockwave so the only damage would be from radiation.

With a kinetic energy, your projectile would only really release its energy upon impact. The bigger and denser the target, the more energy will be released. If you hit say a spaceship, there is a good chance the projective will just punch a hole straight through without actually transferring much energy into the target at all. Upon hitting a bigger solid target It would effectively be like a meteor impact. All that kinetic energy is turned into thermal energy through friction. The explosion would originate at the ground and much of the energy would go into blasting a giant crater in the moon. So would be great for taking out say a bunker. But a nuke in atmosphere would cause more widespread damage. As for a kinetic projectiles likelihood of passing through an atmosphere at those speeds. Well that largely depend on what you make it out of. Something dense like tungsten or uranium would stand a better chance. But I feel like it spends so little time in the atmosphere that it would reach the surface mostly unscathed. But that’s just my own gut feeling.

I used the nuke comparison more as understandable comparison of energy released in joules. It’s not an exact metric. But gets you in the right ballpark of understanding the energies involved.

So one of my favourite sci-fi weapons is simply just extremely overpowered kinetic weaponry.

Think rail guns and that sort of thing that simply accelerate a projectile to incredible velocities. Of course the velocities of non-existent fictional weaponry are up to the author writing them. But for the sake of analogy, let’s say you have a weapon that can accelerate a 1kg projectile to 2997925m/s. This is 1% the speed of light in a vacuum.

Now to help put this insane speed into perspective. Let’s imagine we have our cannon at earth at are firing it at the moon. It would take this projectile just over 2 minutes to get to the moon. That is 384,400km traveled in 2 mins and 8 seconds.

For added context, the largest artillery cannon ever made, The Paris gun, could fire a projectile over 130km with a muzzle velocity of 1640m/s. It still took the projectile over 3 minutes to reach its target.

Now back to our 1kg projectile traveling at 1% the speed of light. When it impacts the moon. It will deliver 0.45x10^13 Joules of kinetic energy.

The Hiroshima nuclear bomb delivered approximately 1.8x10^13 joules of energy

This means that our 1kg projectile hits with the punch of 1/4 of a city destroying nuclear bomb.

It’s truly incredible how much energy you can store in something just by making it go really fast. Which coincidently, is also really helpful when you are wanting to deliver that energy to a target in as short a period as possible.

design notes: so this would be 1/4 width of our copper plate, it's solid copper

it's very thick and heavy, it's the weight we want to reduce

as such, these are our regular polygons

and what matters to us really is that except for the center the electric field is different from zero

we can still obtain an electric field with much less mass

I guess that is why it is called a field

so it's feasible to have lighter copper plates, in this instance using a honeycomb structure

the key factor to obtain strong electric fields inside these honeycombs will be how much power is applied to them, less weight more power

the buggy is dense, reducing the weight of motors copper plates was very important to have the kind of vehicle that allows for motorsports

because people like to take buggies to dunes so forth, one thing it cannot be is heavy

together with magnet cores these copper plates accounted for much of the weight of the vehicle, weight vs mass, smaller volumes than the aluminum tungsten frame but heavy

so strong electric impulsion, strong honeycomb electric fields, significant weight reduction

design notes continued: right now the thinking is that we need steel axis, that these axis stem from steel cores inside the magnets, but that steel core can be lighter

the magnets are heavy and the core inside them needs to weight just right, not too few so that we don't loose motor torque but not too much so that we keep it efficient in terms of weight

the priority for volumes attribution goes to the magnets, they are the bread and butter of electric motors

same as for the copper plate the goal is to shave off weight but to sacrifice only little in terms of efficiency, I would argue that even rated slightly less these solutions are more efficient because it's much less weight vs

because we have strong, safe, aluminum tungsten casings for the 2 motors, we had to find workarounds that could still allow us to save weight
