Moved by followup No.18586
>>18585If you imagine aerogel as being like a sponge, the individual pores inside of the sponge also add to the surface area figure. Aerogel has such a great density of pores, and they are so small that the combined surface area is quite large. To draw an analogy, if you had a piece of cheese and cut it into many very thin slices, you could undoubtedly make a very long, albeit thin, continuous piece of cheese. Similar to how the pores of air contribute to the surface area of a piece of aerogel, the over all volume of something you could imagine as having a potentially very high surface area if it was drawn thin.

>>18598I really don't like the idea. Part of the advantage of a car over Public transport is that you are the only one that uses it. You don't know how many fat, balding, sweaty, farting old men have been in those cars before you. $40 a day would end up costing more as well.
Moved by followup No.18600
>>18599>You don't know how many fat, balding, sweaty, farting old men have been in those cars before you.Well... He covered that in the video. For the company he talked about, the cars would regularly get cleaned and because people would rather not be fined, there's a pressure to be as clean as possible. $40 per day was just the cost of cars near by me when I checked a similar app. In the Netherlands because it's pay per minute, he showed one cross town trip that only cost a few euros. Mainly, his pitch was using a car sharing service only when necessary and then using public transit otherwise; in his case, the cost of using a car sharing service presented an advantage because there were lots of things he wouldn't have to pay for like gas, insurance, maintenance, etc.
I think it's an interesting idea.
Moved by followup No.18601
>>18600I still would not trust it and I still would not like to sit somewhere where the sweaty old men have been just because they say they cleaned it. That's if it even can be cleaned, you can;t clean the old man sweat the seeps into the seat itself...
It's an interesting idea if you like old man sweat and you don't need a car. Sure, if you want to travel a short distance once a year with a car ant not just ride a bike that one time for some reason then I agree it makes more sense. Gas, Insurance and Maintenance would simply be added to the cost of rent itself. I don't like public transport either.

Moved by followup No.18614
>>18613That's very similar, only this time he does not have to jump or move side to side so much, he can just run straight ahead, also the enemies are mostly further away which makes their slow moving projectiles even harder to hit, I think you would have to actually intentionally stand still and let yourself get hit for them to hit.
Moved by followup No.18615
>>18612They're not too slow, and they're coming from all directions. But more he makes it look easier than it is by having good awareness, just randomly jumping about would eventually land you in front of an attack, if the HUD were there you'd be able to see more of how chaotic that run is. Also he's making precise shots to parts of the enemies extremely fast to disable some of their more dangerous weapons, all while managing ammo, health, armor, and swapping between weapons to deal ideal damage to each individual enemy before it becomes too much. This is all to say, it's a whole lot harder than it looks.
Moved by followup No.18616
>>18615They are slow... I could throw a tennis ball faster than that. Do you know how fast bullets are? I don't but probably at least twice as fast. It is just random, because they aim at him and they are so slow, all he has to do is just not be where he was a minute ago and they miss.
Moved by followup No.18618
>>18617He's doing exactly what I said... Only he seems to get hit a lot by enemies that he is not looking at too, he probably should move in a more circular pattern so the enemies at the side miss when they shoot at him as well as those in front.

I can't believe you would compare this kids game to Touhou... Touhou is real, it's visceral, it's deadly. Fairies don't mess around, they attack in formations and saturate the area so you can't just side step from the one spot where you were before, they are trained killers, they work as a team, they are not playing around and that's just the fairies, the bosses saturate the whole screen in precisely executed attack patterns meticulously designed solely for the purpose of killing the player, they don't just account for side stepping they account for forwards, backwards and diagonal movement as well, they are bloodthirsty cannibals that think of you only as their next meal. And you can't just get shot 10 times and then be back to full health 10 seconds later because you get a health pack, this is real life you die if you get shot and you can only come back to life 3 times.

>>18647From what I've heard, I would imagine these are not nearly as much of a concern as they would have been at their inception due to the recent development of hypersonic missile systems which would largely travel through the upper atmosphere rather than low earth orbit, which also makes them considerably more difficult to identify in time for an adequate response.

They have a historical drama series every year called a Taiga drama, I have seen two of them. They have fairly interesting topics, I saw Yae no Sakura which is about a Samurai's daughter and Gunshi Kanbei which is about a strategist in the Sengiku Jidai, I thought they were both quite good.
