Normal i think.

My wife is 12 to 15 bites though

No stress i can't wait.

I was never onto oblivion or skyrim until I married my wife, she tried to get my to play oblivion but the graphics are pretty rough.

I looked up texture mods heard about skyblivion and have waited since

Why would it? It's a fan made mod?

I like crust too though

Typical two pieces of bread with something inside.

I think 9 bites, unfortunately with only one bite in the centre being crustless.

Its abundance of sunlight and heavy investment in solar cell technology has positioned Saudi Arabia well in its transition to becoming a leading exporter of renewable energy. Indeed, solar energy currently makes up more than 80% of the Kingdom's green energy capacity. However, these cells bring a twisted irony, as their operation exposes them to overheating risks. Cooling systems are therefore necessary, but many depend on electricity.

An international research team led by KAUST Professor Qiaoqiang Gan has designed a potential solution. Their device needs no electricity, as it extracts water from the air using nothing more than gravity and relies on cheap, readily available materials.

Along with keeping the solar cells and other semiconductor technologies cool, the water can be repurposed for irrigation, washing, cooling buildings on which the solar cells are placed, and other applications.

Scientists estimate that the atmosphere contains six times more water than all the fresh water in the rivers combined. "This water can be collected by atmospheric water harvesting technologies," says Gan.

While these technologies work reasonably well, in arid environments like that of Saudi Arabia they require electricity to harvest practical amounts of water. This demand risks deterring the adoption of solar cells in rural regions of the Kingdom, where electricity infrastructure is costly.

One reason for the low efficiency is that the water adheres to the surface of the harvesting device. Professor Dan Daniel and Shakeel Ahmad, a postdoc in Gan's group, found that by adding a lubricant coating that is a mix of a commercial polymer and silicon oil, they could collect more water by relying on only gravity.

"A common challenge in atmospheric water harvesting systems is that water droplets tend to remain pinned to the surface [of the device], necessitating active condensate collection. Our coating effectively eliminated pinning, enabling true passive water collection driven by water," says Ahmad. "Since this system operates entirely on passive radiative cooling, it doesn't consume any electricity."

The solution is based on previous technology made by Gan, which he describes as "vertical double-sided architecture." That system was originally designed to reflect thermal heat back to the sky to keep the solar cells cool but not to capture the water produced.

The new device was tested six times over the span of a year in natural conditions in the town of Thuwal, about 100 km north of Jeddah, and could almost double the rate of water collection compared with alternative atmospheric water harvesting technologies.

Along with Gan and Daniel, KAUST Associate Professor Gyorgy Szekely contributed to the study, which was published in Advanced Materials.

Along with the efficiency of the water collection, Daniel is equally excited about the economic benefits of adoption.

"The system doesn't consume any electricity, leading to energy savings. Moreover, it doesn't rely on any mechanical parts like compressors or fans, reducing the maintenance over traditional systems, leading to further savings," he said.

Yeah fucking MSFS2020 was such a bust for me living in Australia. It took days to download then I finally got it working something went wrong with install files and had to dick around. In the end I played 3 hours of it but have hundreds in download time.

Fuck MSFS

To your last sentence wouldn't that get in the way of contrail production though?

But only yours, the rest of us have perfectly organised old cable boxes, ps1 cord, OG xbox cables. Don't have either console anymore but you never know when those cords might come in handy

Actually science did explain it

Simply, there's only one way for all cables to not be tangled.

However there are millions of ways for them to be tangled.

Odds are tangle every time

 
 

Every time I use the Android YouTube app, if I que up several videos and the. Decide I just want to finish the one I'm on etc. I open the que and click clear que, but then the video I'm currently watching starts again.

Any way to do this?

Samsung s24 YouTube app

Sorry if this isn't the right place

Words that mean the exact opposite of how they sound.

Extralegal: not legal

Inflammable: able to be set a flame.

Do you have any other suggestions?
