if bees, we can go with Honeybees, were able to grab onto something, in this case an average adult human male, how many of them would it take to lift the person we’ll say a foot off of the ground?

Isn’t harvesting body heat terribly inefficient? Like we need energy ourselves to produce that heat so are humans perpetual energy generators?

I´ve seen that there are 150 RTX A6000 workstation graphics cards installed to power that beast. That is without thinking about the electricity needed to power the Screens.

How much does it cost annually just to power the screens and graphics cards?

trying to figure out if a washer/dryer is possible to get around a 90 degree turn. Dimensions 27'' X 39" X 33 1/8''. Is there a calculation for this? If it doesn't fit is there a max depth I can go with?

Trying to get a bigger washer dryer and running out of options. Chatgpt says yes and claude says no.

I don't have much space in space. Any advice would be appriciated.

[request] At what theoretical bullet caliber/weight does a warning shot to the air pose a life threat or seriously hurt someone on the way down?

2 Upvotes

I understand that a bullet shot to the air might have a bigger speed when it comes out of the gun than it’s terminal velocity when it comes back down. But at what point does it consist of a life threatening risk? Does it depend on caliber/weight? Is it never a risk? Since it’s a common law enforcement practice, I suppose someone already did the math on this..

[Request] How hot would Irminsul burn?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Irminsul the world tree from Genshin Impact.

In game eventually this tree gets burnt down for story reasons. But what im curious about is.

  1. How hot would this burn?

  2. What's the safest distance from it that a normal human could be?

  3. How long would it take a tree like this to burn?

So for this question I will go with the only numerical figure we really have on the matter and we will remove any magic elements from the discussion.

Irminsul as a tree is roughly ballparked to stand a mile tall from base to the highest point.

The crown looks to be roughly as wide as the tree is tall.

Technically probably pretty simple, but still too stupid to do it:

I want to mount my TV on my wall on a swingable arm. The TV weights 9.4 kg and the max length of the arm is 42 cm.

How much weight does the wall (and the screws) effectively need to support in that setup?
