When an ordinary person holds a mouse long enough, and takes it seriously enough?

I was expecting this sentence to be a “bird in the hand” type metaphor.

Same here

Not fiction, alternative facts

I love/hate that we even have to ask.

That’s Austrians for you, straightforward and pragmatic.

Is this not just the same thing as psychosomatic symptoms with a dumber name?

God that’s refreshing to see.

That’s to Ceres, Mars is only 9 months, so how do we get from 9 months to 23k hours?

Interesting read, this part caught my eye:

Launching a crewed spacecraft to Mars might require 2 to 4 megawatts of power, meaning multiple MPD thrusters operating for more than 23,000 hours. This presents a challenge as the hardware operates at high temperatures, and the team needs to prove that the thruster’s components can withstand the heat for multiple hours during upcoming tests.

Would the thrusters really run the full 23k hours? That’s just shy of 960 days, surely once you reach a certain speed you wouldn’t need to run them continuously at full power.

What is this from? It looks vaguely Dune-y

Ehh I’ve used both the DB and ÖBB websites and apps, I find DB more intuitive, especially for return tickets, which are what I generally want to buy. Good tip for the flex ticket though.

No, I’d pay 100€ to take the ICE from hbf to hbf. And that’s if I somehow need to buy a ticket for a train same day, cheaper if done in advance.

Lo concreto no interesa la gente discreta va lo general
