“Ars on your side!”

Why can’t it stay liquid?

Well, the water is necessary for for life support and needs to be sourced somehow anyway. It kind of sets a minimum crew and passenger capacity if you want to make the most use of your shielding water.

Water doesn’t have to be a liquid, but don’t actual spacecraft typically contain liquids during wall of those cases? What do you mean?

I don’t think it works that way. The water slows down the neutrons so that when and if they get to you they don’t have enough energy to hurt you. The radiation doesn’t contaminate the water any more than a microwave oven does.

Since the astronauts need water to survive, why not line the spaceship with reservoirs of it to provide the shielding? Or does water not block space radiation well enough?

Trying again doesn’t necessarily mean trying again right away.

They could have tried again with another booster and landing pad.

If the developers could fix search, it would go a long way in improving Mastodon.

Never post your resume or sign up for LinkedIn in the course of a job search? Never use a dating site? Never buy a domain? Never pay property taxes? Never go to court? I see your point, but never revealing your info online isn’t realistic or even a choice for most people.

Better than plastic explosives and shrapnel.

I wonder how they did it. Was the firmware hacked to make the batteries ignite or were separate explosives implanted in each pager?

We need hydrogen production because we need emissions free steel, fertilizer, and vehicle fuel. It’s also a good way to soak up excess electricity production. Sure, batteries can store energy arguably more efficiently, but they offer no practical benefits beyond that.

How about a version that successfully connects to my car’s sound system right away, every time?

If self-hosting is going to become commonplace, then it needs to be easier than setting up a network printer. People should be able to just buy a computer (maybe a laptop for integral screen and UPS) preloaded with something like Yunohost, but with a sleek GUI. It has to have good wizards that walk you through everything including setting up a domain and email.

Hmmm… This pie needs more nuclear.
