I have no idea about the Happy Thread, but I'm unsure if you didn't realise you were replying to yourself?


...anyway, I'd been saving up some things to say on here (or possibly in the Space Thread) once I wasn't double-posting.  What were they again? Hmmm... There was the thing about the Chinese launching their claimed '6G' satellite/tech-tester. And Hyperloop had been tested at high (but partial) speed on its test 'track' with human passengers. I'll edit in the rest if/when I remember.

Oh...I should check usernames more often


The stuff about the satellites and hyper loop sounds d interesting

(Sometimes I scroll up, on re-entering an old thread, to make sure I'm not missing context, see a post that I largely agree with but find the typing or grammar to be awful. Not yet (unintentionally) replied to myself, though.  )

...taken from topmost search results, just now, though I didn't actually hear about these on the Beeb.

And I had half a dozen things I know I thought might be interesting to post here (slightly niche tech stuff - in the 2020 world of news, anyway), but I still can't remember what the others are...

Cooking is just chemistry you can eat

Chemistry is just chemistry you can eat, that will kill you.

Chemistry is just chemistry you can eat at least once.

[Max™]

Exciting enough chemistry can not be eaten even once, there are things that will kill you if you're able to breathe anything coming off of it, there are things you could try to put in your mouth that would set it on fire if you somehow lasted that long or moisture in your breath didn't ignite it, then there are the things where if there was enough of it to see and it got anywhere near room temperature it's possibly taking out the room you're in when it explodes but at the very least you're not gonna be able to eat anything before the shockwave reaches you.

I will really worry if they make them self-replicating, able to power themselves off biomass, and EMP-resistant.

Luckily, only two of those apply, so our Tunnel 'Hovercrafts' have a last resort defence! (So long as nobody's trying to use a local Wifi Hotspot at the same time.)
