I recently read somewhere that it’s actually just very few bee species that die after stinging, among them honeybees. They have a barbed stinger that gets stuck while most bees have flat stingers and can sting repeatedly.

As I understood it, the dashed line is just the 35°C wet bulb temperature line.

I think it’s the “old assumed border of survivability” and don’t know if it is based solely on mathematics or on other experiments as well.

I also don’t know on how many individuals the new line is based and what age group the older people one is.

The article is about an experiment, where people are exposed to 35°C wet bulb temperatures, but in different settings. Sometimes lower temperatures but higher humidity, sometimes vise versa, but always 35°C wet bulb temperature.

So far the assumption was, that humans can’t survive a 35°C wet bulb temperature for longer than 6 hours. And at current warming this is unlikely to be naturally the case within this century.

However the experiment gives hints to believe that humans can’t survive at lower wet bulb temperatures either. It looks like with lower temperatures and higher humidity, humans can get very close to that 35°C wet bulb temperature, however people seem to struggle more with higher temperatures and lower humidity.

A possible explanation could be, that while more sweat evaporates in lower humidity, the body has a limit for how much sweat it can produce. And if you keep raising the temperature, that the human body simply can’t produce enough sweat to cool itself.

That’s pretty much what I took away from the article. They mentioned they experiment with several people, however the article was mainly about on person in the experiment, a 30ish year old, athletic male.

Edit: add some graphs from the article. Sorry for low quality, but as you said, the layout is quite atrocious and on my phone it keeps jumping around on it’s own, so I lost patience.

If it had a stable orbit before and then slowed down, I thought it’ll get a more elliptical orbit, being both closer and further, or fall into Earth.

My logic was that a stable orbit closer to the center needs higher speeds to counter higher gravity and vice versa.

So if the moon would get hit in a way that makes it slow down and get pushed further away from Earth at the same time, it could keep a roundish orbit, or not?

What’s with that specific timeframe? Is it due to the orbit never being perfect? Or random slight influences from other not too far, heavy objects?

Thanks for the explanation, the moon being a little fast for it’s orbit and therefore slowly spiraling out of Earths gravity makes sense to me now.

It would not, though. I assume your glasses to have a larger surface than your eyes. Additionally, eyelash do are real good job in filtering the air in front of your eye.

Source: was wearing glasses for 25 years before I got my eyes fixed 7 years ago.

I know you’re right, have read it elsewhere before. But I can’t figure out why that would happen. I doubt Earth is loosing mass. Does the moon slow down over time due to impacts or what causes this?

Unfortunately my hardware is too old to play games that are like that.

But I’ve noticed the same with mobile games. My policy is: if that single player game doesn’t start without internet access it gets deleted.

I would go even further and say that the perception of the voters outweighs reality.

Ironically education is a good way for people not to radicalize, I believe.

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

I see. Yes I watched the debate and he really didn’t do well, like he was on some medicine and partly asleep. My favorite part was when they discussed who is better at golf. Was a very important thing to get clear for people like me, that are worried of climate collapse.

But this isn’t new to Biden, is it? Confusing names and numbers has always been a Biden thing, I think, it’s not necessarily a health decline. Like my favorite American president quote is “America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: ashofootnae ehfoot, excuse me, at the foothills in the Himalaya…”

That’s why I thought the democrats had a meeting after the debate and saw that Biden’s campaign is not going well and the public thinks (doesn’t matter if rightfully or not) Biden is too old and mentally declining. Maybe, in order to save the sinking ship, it’s best to play a rather risky move of changing the nomine just a few months before election. Or maybe he was also peer pressured.

Anyway, if it was Biden’s initiative he does deserve a lot of respect for it!

I’m not from the US. Is it really his choice? I thought it would be more democratic and the party members would vote for who they run, how they run, etc?

It propably grabbed the info off some random number-confusing dude like me, who recently posted the Earth’s diameter would be about 6 km instead of 6000.

Edit: oops, did it again. Meant radius, not diameter…

Eau de Paris’ data shows that pollution levels in the river exceeded regulatory standards on most days between July 26, the start date of the Olympics, and Wednesday. Eau de Paris did not release data for Thursday and Friday, when the men’s and women’s 10 kilometer swims were held.

Lol, do they try the Covid strategy of “no numbers, no problem!”?

Ah thanks! So you use thin metal posts. I still use self cut wood like a caveman and whack the shit out of other things.

I actually thought this was a police tool for breaking in doors.

So according to comments it’s a post driver. So far I dug holes and put my poles in. This tool seems practical for soft soil, but what do you do when living somewhere with rocky soil or with dry clay soil?

“world news”

I also thought about wet bulb and checked the humidity in Delhi, which seems to be just 7 % or so. According to wet bulb calculators that’s still good, like around 23 °C wet bulb.

Interestingly the wet bulb temperature calculators that I tried only work until 50 °C, so that was what I put in.

At 50 °C you need about 35 % humidity to get to 35 °C wet bulb.

Regarding your second point: If I’m not mistaken, the hottest month in the region is around May. The temperature is influenced by monsoons, and although the sun peaks higher in summer, it is generally also more cloudy and rain cools of the surface. That’s why usually temperatures peak just before rain season.

Thank you!

Do you have a link to source of that? I’m pretty sure there are many sensors measuring the temperatures in a city that size.
