It was just a kid's toy, you know.

With physics.

The particles lose energy roughly depending on their inverse velocity(=>energy) squared

What that means is that high energy particles deposit little energy at first, but as they gradually slow down they deposit more and more. There is a peak where most of the energy is deposited, depending on the starting energy and density of material (tissue). This is called the Bragg Peak and having non-constant (range of) starting energies you can specify a range of dosage deposition instead of a single point.

Train driver

Reply in thread

You were lucky. Last time I took a train in Germany, after a 20 minute delay there was announcement that they have found the train at a different depot that where it was supposed to be, in the completely other side of Hamburg. Took another hour for the train to arrive at the station. Plus another hour or so delay in transit, since once your late you have to sometimes wait for other trains that aren't late, or are stuck behind a regional train that's much slower than the Inter City ones . The trip was nearly 6hrs total and was only supposed to be 3.5 hrs. (ok the return trip was on time, but still)

Isn't brave supposed to be "private"?

From Wiki:

Brave Software was founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and former Mozilla CEO who left the organization after coming under fire for his support of eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry [...]

and

In August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund [...]

Should tell you everything you need to know.

I'd say being 'privacy focused' is just a stick to get non-tech savy/gullible people that want to protect their privacy to use it, without thinking about it twice. Personally, I believe there is 0% chance they don't sell (or simply give) all data they can to Peter Thiel and Palantir.

Woman takes 10x dose of turmeric, gets hospitalized for liver damage

Reply in thread

googling for 3 seconds I found that Jamieson Tumeric Gummies only have 250mg Tumeric per Gummy, which is apparently equivalent to 6250mg of dried Tumeric. That is basically the recommended maximum daily dosage.

In general, no you can't trust 'basic' supplements, since they are poorly regulated. I'd also recommend getting supplements only for things that you actually need supplemented, i.e. a blood test shows you are deficient.

As a tall person... If someone kindly asks me if we can swap places, because they can't see from behind me, I will gladly swap with them. But don't expect me to do it for you. Also, if your being a piece of shit about it, you can get fucked.
