You just reminded me: A while back there was this slew of articles coming out of the tech press saying MP3 was now dead.

And why did they say that? Because the last Fraunhofer Patent on an MP3 related invention ran out.

Instead of reporting the format was now fully free, those idiots thought that meant it was now dead 😂

You're right and I'd go a bit further: It's none of their business what your age even is, they need to know only one bit for their legal duties, over or under age of majority.

Basically what is really needed is a certificate of majority digitally signed by the government bound to some identifier, email address or full name. All this uploading faces or ID card scans is ridiculous.

Clever! So the first drone simply brings a self disassembly kit, a handsaw and some tourniquets.

I did not find Nattō that bad actually. You need to spread it out over enough rice.

That said, I had a dish recently, stir fried prawn with Thai "stinky beans" that reminded me of Nattō somehow. To be fair they did warn me that it really was stinky when I tried ordering it. I insisted to try it anyway. It was really difficult to get down. It really did stink on my plate. I had to carefully ensure that no spoonful had to much of the bean mush. It was salty and gave the impression of decay.

The article says that one drone was shot down and one crashed under the weight of the ebike.

A soldier will be significantly heavier than an ebike. And you can risk them being shot down less than just the bike

The weird fucky version of type B they use in Thailand is missing. It's like the fucky version of the type L that's displayed except the fuckyness was added to a different base type.

To get anywhere I think you'd need an extension for the 4 pin CPU power cable. That one going diagonal is the worst thing here and zip ties can't fix it.

Fair enough. The proposed VÜPF changes suck balls.

Why are you asking us, instead of them?

"I need it for my business plan to work out" is not a great legal argument for when you're trying to override others rights.

If I had to guess the omptimum would be around 26. Not too much younger, and looks not too much older. Good luck haha.

The dectector and the variable field (that induces the localized measurable changes) stop between scans, but the static magnetic field is kept up.

As long as you keep up the superconductitvity there is basically no electrical loss in the coils. Dialing the magnetic field down would require pulling out the energy, and reinjecting new energy to get the field back up. That's the slow part, because injecting current quickly would heat the coil above superconductivity, leading to a quench.

I'm not sure how energy is withdrawn in the ordinary shutdown procedure, but I expect it is exchanged into heat and vented to the outside air in some way, rather than reinjected into the grid in a usable form. (The latter would require an inverter to turn the DC back into AC synchronized to the grid, probably would increase complexity by too much). So I suspect it would be wasteful too.
