Connections shits me. I hate how they will put in clear connections but you’re aiming for more obscure ones.

Strands and the Mini is where it’s at.

I played so much wordle, I own the app and everything but I lost interest in it

Me twooi

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?

Why would it? It’s a fan made mod?

Man I used to have this as a kid, it took me literally years to beat the damn sniper training mission. Cause i was a stupid kid and didn’t understand the word stealth

Yeah mine do something similar but they are most certainly green on a normal day.

I think it’s refraction off of shirts etc that give a bluish look

I love having the kids on my deck

Yeah exactly, don’t want to pay that price? Sort it yourself. Everyone that complained about the price of shit needs to understand this.

I’m Australian living in Australia and thought we had it.

I’ve met people with them and didn’t once get the impressions they were hard to get

Yes

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.

So my physical version must surely have gone up I’m value too then. What an investment

/s

That really is the power or civilisation.

Just one more turn then I’ll cook dinner. Two hours later haha

I suppose we do, we get about the same amount of sunshine as others.

Depends what you do for a job. Work in an office in Melbourne you hardly see the sun.

Work in a construction job you see the sun every day which i imagine is the same for everywhere

I live in Australia and have the same one, checkmate amerocentrists

The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that’s how I found out I don’t like ghosts haha.

Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can’t hurt haha

Fuck that was bad

Yeah I play civ 6 a lot, my wife and I have thousands of hours combined. People have bosrd game nights we have civ nights.

I can’t see us upgrading any time soon unless there’s something spectacular but even then going from 5 to 6 was hard work

Xbox game pay

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
