Now we need to get the South Asians and East Asians fighting about putting milk in tea.

Theoretically it should be the most energy efficient method. You're transferring all the energy directly into the water molecules, not heating up a container and hoping that heat transfers to the water.
Do you boil everything you eat or drink? Botulism is hardly a realistic risk for tea.
Yeah. I mean, "star" is subjective. But, to me, "star" means at a bare minimum someone who plays professionally or has the potential to play professionally. Really it should be the best player on their pro team, playing in a good league too.
Compared to...?
It's extremely quiet compared to shooting a gun without a silencer. Sure,, but guns are incredibly loud.
The ammunition is, but the mechanical parts of the gun are still fairly loud.
You can get the sound down to maybe 100 dBA. That's much quieter than the 160ish that you get without a suppressor. But, that's still loud. Things that are around 100 dBA include blenders, electric drills, motorcycles, etc. It's only a very brief sound, but it's loud for that moment. The Guinness record for loudest finger snap is 108 dBA. So, the quietest gun will be much louder than the average finger snap.
That means those movie scenes where people are having a shootout with silencers in a library and nobody notices, or even in a crowded train station. That's not realistic. People might not recognize the sound as a gun, but they'd definitely be looking around for the source of that snapping sound. It also means the scenes where someone is sneaking through a house at night killing people without being noticed are not realistic either. If you're asleep, a loud finger snap might not wake you up, but if you're awake you're definitely going to notice it.
I'm sure that Bitcoin is eventually going to crash back down to 0, but it might take anywhere from a decade to 50 years.
To be fair, if he were really an up and coming star, he wouldn't still be in the US at 19.
Batman has you hooked on his propaganda, he's the villain.
Hahaha, ok. You're the guy defending the billionare, but I'm the Republican. Good one.
If you were standing on the Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey about 2km from the Statue of Liberty (height 93m), from the bottom to the top it would be about 2.5 degrees.
If you were looking at the Eiffel Tower at 6000 km away from NJ, and the earth were flat, the Eiffel Tower (height 312m), from the bottom to the top it would be about 0.003 degrees from bottom to top. If you could line it up so that you could see the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower at the same time, the Eiffel Tower would appear to come up to the first 10 cm of the Statue of Liberty's base. That's actually a little bigger than I would have expected, but still tiny.
I wonder if, even with binoculars, someone could even resolve something that small. Ignoring everything like ocean waves interfering, vegetation getting in the way and atmospheric interference, my guess is that it would be just too small to be seen from that far away without some ultra-powerful telescope.
It's amazing to me that they can even measure a 0.01 XG shot. This comes from James Benge's twitter account.
The XG graph is also interesting. Tottenham has a continuous stream of very low quality shots, resulting in the graph going up in tiny increments. Arsenal has a series of decent chances near minute 17, and then the one high-quality shot resulting in Gabriel's goal.

I'm sure part of it is Arsenal defending in a low block after scoring. But, it also smacks of desperation on Tottenham's part. If you're taking a shot that has a 1% chance of going in, rather than passing and waiting for a better opportunity, you don't believe that you're going to get a better opportunity.

"Movie quiet" would be so quiet that you can shoot the gun next to someone in a library and nobody would look up. Nothing is that quiet. Even if you were dry firing with no rounds at all, the "click" would be so loud that it would draw a lot of attention.
A realistic movie take on a gun with subsonic ammunition and a silencer would be one where if someone was shooting, people would be looking around for the source of the clicking / snapping sound but not worried about guns because the sound is so unlike a gun that it wouldn't register to them as a gun.
