triangulation

trilateration actually (^0_0^)

This guy was in a remote controlled, parachute equipped gondola at 17km altitude wearing a pressurized suite. His suit broke and even though the emergency descent of the gondola was immediately activated to descend safely, he later died from embolism (bubbles forming in the blood because of rapidly decreasing pressure). Passenger jets cruise at about 11km so i gather it would be similar.

In terms of modern shells being more complex in general: yes and no. modern shells pretty much always use some kind of electronic fusing, sometimes multiple kinds of electronic fuses. back then they had bombs, mines and grenades with literal clockwork inside and electronics was still very rare. also fuses and primary charges were not easy to produce reliably.

There has been some fusor research going on for decades. The issue that killed that direction of fusion research was ultimately that the electrons do not behave as the initial simple models suggested and in the real world the power loss from the fast electrons is just too big for any reasonably sized device to allow for self sustaining fusion.

Warum benutzt man überhaupt Blocksatz? Ich meine jetzt mal abgesehen von viel zu schmalen Zeitungsspalten und Hotelshampooflaschen…

Not as long as OPs but has some real goodies.

throw off the yolk

lol

Maybe those were illegal smoke and honey melons 🤔

In der Praxis gab es keine richtige Abgrenzung zwischen Kaperfahrt und Piraterie; siehe z.B: Klaus Störtebecker wird von vielen nur als Pirat gesehen obwohl er lange Zeit legal gesehen ein Kaperfahrer war.

Eine Kaperfahrt ist ganz eindeutig mit einer staatlichen (über)Macht zu identifizieren.

Other commenters have pointed out the problems with overloading of connectors and reduced efficiency because of the added resistance but there is another really important reason not to chain power strips: circuit breakers work best against short circuits when the resistance between the breaker and the short is fairly low (for instance less than 0.5Ω) so that the current will quickly go over the rated current of the breaker. If the resistance is a lot higher because you have too many extensions between the breaker and the fault, the time the breaker needs to react will go up. Counterintuitively this usually means more energy will be turned to heat by the fault.

In extreme cases this can mean the difference between a broken power strip that you can just throw out and a burned down house.

that is not a power plant. a power plant supplies power…
