Robert Jordan wheel of time?
No note that I’m looking at it again there’s nothing they can do. The knight move doesn’tt make sense, but checkmate is unavoidable
Right I’m dumb, in my defence the analyse button takes you to a site that let’s you move the pieces anywhere you want, which must have confused me
I found the solution but haven’t figure it out yet. Like I don’t understand why black does what it does.
Why does it move the knight, instead if capturing the queen?

2·3 days agoI suspect it’s sensitive to only a narrow band of frequencies, akin to the molecule’s resonance frequency, but idk
New Zealand in Narco traffic? Weird. Maybe “heaven”?

21·4 days agoIt’s pretty neat though. It stays liquid the whole time. So you could circulate it to charge it up, somewhere other than where you want to extract the energy. But it looks like it charges from 300nm light (UV) so depending on its absorption bandwidth usefulness is questionable.

Technology@lemmy.world•A new liquid battery stores solar heat for weeksEnglish
1·4 days agoAbstract from Science:
Storing sunlight in a compact and rechargeable form remains a central challenge for solar energy utilization. Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage systems, which harness photon energy and release it as heat on demand, provide a direct approach, but have long failed to meet practical benchmarks. Inspired by the architecture of DNA, we report a pyrimidone-based MOST system that stores energy in the strained Dewar photoisomer upon excitation at 300 nm. Designed with sustainability in mind, the system operates solvent-free and remains compatible with aqueous environments while overcoming one of the field’s greatest hurdles: the controlled extraction and transfer of stored heat. When catalyzed by acid, the Dewar isomer releases enough heat to boil water (~0.5 mL). These advances help point the way toward decentralized solar heat storage and off-grid energy solutions.
S6e3 was a clip show, s9e11 was a musical clip show.
I have neighbours homeschooling their kids, that ate similarly aged to mine. Sometimes we see them at the school playground on the weekend. The kids seem fine, the parents seem normal. They mentioned they take the kids to a weekly home school kids play date, and there is some sort of education resource worker that makes sure the kids are learning what they need to.
Yeah I was looking at that being like,
THAT would have been helpful!

Ask Science@lemmy.world•What's a scientific fact that sounds made up but is 100% real?English
2·10 days agoYeah it seems that Pluto got bigger since I learned this fact, and AI summary is also out dated
Edit to add: I hope it’s obvious I meant our estimate of the surface area of Pluto increased, not that I think Pluto is growing.

AskACanadian@lemmy.ca•Do Canadians *actually* consider joining the EU?English
10·11 days agoI’d rather be part of the EU than part of the USA and I think Canadians could be convinced to trade their LOONIES for L-EU-NIES.
But
Canada is twice the size of the entire EU with a population less than that of Spain (a little more then Poland). The capital of our easternmost province is closer to Brussels than it is to the capital of our westernmost province (it’s also closer to Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, and maybe even Rome). I don’t think that a governing system designed to meet the needs of European countries is going to be that good of a fit, we have many European values, but our econo-political-geography is probably too dissimilar for it to work.
If the EU created some sort of half-in, half-out affiliation for us to join then maybe?

Yes.

News@lemmy.world•Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, long-term study shows
6·12 days agoWhy is it that 6 of the 7 countries with the lowest amount of caivities do not flouridate their water?
Probably because of diet or availability of dental care. But if only 4/44 countries in Europe fluoridate, then fluoridating countries are over represented in that example’s 7 ( ie if fluoride didn’t help we would expect it to be 10/11).
Why did you pick top 7 by the way? Is it 6/8? 6/9? 6/10? It’s an extremely weird threshold and makes me think you’re cherry picking data to suit your narrative.
