It has channels that wrap around from the main channel, that when these side channels re-induct into the main channel slow its flow. Might be Greek design or something, I can't remember.

>>13434229 Yea that's it, thanks. I was wondering if it would make a good design for a firearm suppressor, seems like some people have already asked this question. One of the requirements for this design to be efficient is homogenous flow in the main channel, which expanding firearm has does not really qualify

Quoted By:
>>13434240 The gas is expanding in the silencer not just flowing. Once it goes into a dead end it automatically pushes back against the upstream flow. Redirecting the gas like a tesla valve probably would not slow down the gas faster or more effectively since it has to travel further before it starts impeding upstream gas.

Can't tell me by what means time crystals extract energy for movement ftom their environment?

>>13433841 They dont? I thought they were just like an ideal pendulum with no friction and just stays in motion forever.

You mean quartz crystals used in timekeeping? An electrical charge is passed through them to make them oscillate at the desired frequency for timekeeping purposes. In wristwatches this is provided by your watch battery.

What would you do in my situation?
I got the first Astrazeneca vaccine in June 3
All info says it's a lot more effective if you wait 3 months between the first and second shot
"a recent study in The Lancet found AZ's efficacy dropped to 60% when administered at eight weeks, compared with more than 80% at 12 weeks"
Now government wants people to get it at 8 weeks, because getting it at 8 weeks is better than catching delta variant with only 1 shot.
My cellphone just received the option to get the second shot tomorrow.
I'm thinking of delaying it a month, but I'm not sure

>>13434145 Here you can get mix and get moderna or pfizer after 6 weeks in cases like this. Efficacy of this is 90% so of course most people do it. Nobody wants to wait months for a second dose of Astra. Find out if this is possible where you live.

So, you can still catch the delta variant even though you're vaccinated, you just won't get sick or be significantly affected by it? However, you can still carry and spread it either way?
Sorry for the retarded post, this is just how best I'm understanding the delta variant.

>>13436253 >preventing transmission If it makes you cough less it helps slow transmission. But other than that, why would having spike proteins in your testicles prevent transmission of a respiratory virus? Smoking cigarettes probably offers more protection against an initial infection.

What happens if you get vaccinated more than the intended 2 times? Would you get worse reactions with each additional vaccination? What if you get multiple types of covid vaccines? Do some people actually do this and get vaccinated much more often with the corona vaccines?

I am going to be a freshman next year in CS. ive been learning programming for a while, and took a lot of cs classes in high school. If i wanted to, I could finish my degree in 2 years. I dont want to just work a wagecuck webdev job for the rest of my life.
Would it be worth to stay 4 years to dual major in something like math or physics or even maybe some other engineering

If you're competent (which it sounds like you are), then just do that, secure a decent job, and go to college part time if you really want to learn more. A good paying job should be your first priority for college, and recruiters don't understand what you mean when you say "Physics major, but uhh I know computer stuff", they are literally actually fucking retarded. Yes, your application to any job will be reviewed by someone not remotely qualified for the position theyre hiring for.

>>13435794 You have no clue what you're talking about. OP, don't take advice from someone with an anthropology degree, especially if it's a faggot or a woman. Do CS if you're interested in CS. Do physics if you're interested in physics. Just spend your summers wisely and you'll be fine either way. And if you want to stand out as a good programmer, then program a lot and do it well. Anything else is just decorative.

Hey guys I have a problem I'm trying to work out. I'm making a script to populate my database and I'd like to get the estimated percentage of completion so I'll have an idea of how long it will take.
So imagine I have an array of boards. For each board, I loop through each user. Where things get tricky is that now - I generate a random number between 1 and 5 - and make that many threads(different number for each user). then, for each thread, I generate another random number (this time between 1 and 10) and create that many posts(different for each thread).
There should be a way to solve this right? I'm really REALLY stupid when it comes to math.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>13435491 Averages and expectation values are easy. If the random number is 1-5, on average the threads per user is 3 threads. Average between 1 and 10 is 5.5 posts per thread.
What's slightly harder is the variance, but not that much. Work on the average first.

I had a weird thought and I figured I'd ask to see if any astronomers on /sci/ wanted to comment on this. Despite being ridiculously improbable, could a habitable planet exist in a tidally-locked orbit around a close red dwarf and black hole (even if for a brief period in time, since the 3-body problem would probably complicate this very quickly and cause some kind of eccentricity in orbits)?
Also, if this kind of system, would the red dwarf appear to "shine" brighter than usual, since the Black hole was syphoning off its excess energy and forming a bright accretion disk?

>>13435883 you never even mention their masses...

If you want them all to stay in line like the diagram implies, that's got nothing to do with being tidally locked, that's about putting your planet at the L2 point. Might have to be rather close though, I don't know if that's healthy.

>>13435969 I'm not an astronomer, so I don't consider myself qualified to speculate on which masses would keep the system in equilibrium.
>>13436050 Thanks m8, I mentioned the tidal locking because I wanted to try keeping a circular orbit. Not sure if that's an if and only if statement desu but I'm sure someone else would know better. From my perspective, I feel like any elliptical orbit would lead to complications in the system.
Also yeah, I think in all the examples I've come across online, the planets tidally-locked planets were stripped of their magnetospheres by flares because the point that kept them tidally locked to a regular red dwarf was always too close to it. I wonder if having a black hole near the red star could also act to syphon off some of the solar flares that would otherwise bake the planet.
