    I looked it up, and bread has about double the amount of carbs as cooked rice, which is probably what is making bread bad.

    Probably a rice-only diet would also be bad for them, but nobody brings them tons and tons of rice, while everyone throws them a ton a bread.











  • That is still a fair amount of effort. The goal here is not the get rock solid proof, but to filter sufficient people that deportation costs remain low.

    Just like motivation letters for a job: they show effort and serieusness. Even though it is trivial to let someone else make them (or let an AI write something). They still filter a decent amount of applicants.





  • Europa Universalis IV and Stellaris. For exactly the same reasons.

    I spend way too much time in those games. Hundreds of hours each. But the end game is just too much of a slog. You already won, so there is no challenge; the framerate tanks into unplayable territory; and the micromanagement to manage the late game wars and economy becomes insane.

    But starting with a different empire, and doing early/mid game again is awsome!



  • You can look up what the acronym AESA means without unstanding it.

    Take two speakers that are next to each other. If they emit a tone of the same frequency, the sound will “add up” and be louder in some directions, and cancel out to some degree in others.

    A phased array radar uses the same concept, but now on electro magnectic waves, instead of sound waves. And with much more than just 2 emitters. By carefully choosing the phase of the signal in each emitter, itnis possible to both choose a single direction that receives the strongest signal, and to tighten the spread around that direction (creating a pencil beam). This is what the dish is for in standard radars.

    If these phases can be fully controlled electronically, you can steer where you are looking, and swap between wide and narrow search beams in an instant. However, that is not a trivial thing to produce. So cheaper phased array radars use mechanical systems, or partial electronic steering (example: only horizontal steering).
