Super Interesting: The Gates to Hell - Turkmenistan

By

The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft) and while geologists had hoped the fire would consume the fuel in a few days, the gas is still burning nearly fifty years later. 

Locals have named the crater the "Door to Hell".

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2CJ_U3G_kU Le soleil frappe à ma fenêtre Je lui souris J'ai 2, 3 mélodies en tête Et plein d'envies Elles m'en font voir de toutes les douceurs Comment résister J'ai rendez-vous avec quelques heures De liberté, hm hm A la radio, les sales nouvelles chantent leur refrain Mais aujourd'hui personne cassera mon entrain Bien trop zen et même que dans ma tête un peu larguée Y a une basse de funk et un beat de reggae Derrière la vitre y a ce bruit, la ville qui ronronne Faut que je sorte et prendre un peu ce qu'on me donne Derrière la vitre ça sent le printemps J'ai la flemme de ne rien faire Je suis pressé de prendre mon temps 15 Heures du matin plus rien ne m’atteint C'est mon instant, suis mon instinct Rien n'est important 15 Heures du matin plus rien ne m’atteint Tout est léger laisse moi kiffer ici, maintenant Je descend et croise mon voisin dans l’ascenseur J'aimerai bien l'inviter d...

Roko's Basilisk, the Thought Experiment

By
Image
By  Daniel Oberhaus If you haven’t heard already, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is dating the electronic musician Grimes, a match that’s about as  unlikely as Musk’s timeline for settling Mars . Before the couple—henceforth known as ‘  grusk ’— made their first public appearance together at the MET Gala on Monday, Musk tweeted what would have otherwise been yet another unremarkable dad joke on the billionaire’s timeline. The tweet read “Rococo’s Basilisk,” a play on words that mixes the name for an 18th century baroque art style (Rococo) with the name of an internet thought experiment about artificial intelligence known as ‘Roko’s Basilisk.’ According to Page Six, which  broke the news of grusk , it was this non-joke that sparked Musk and Grimes’ relationship. Apparently Musk was going to tweet about ‘Rococo’s Basilisk’ a few weeks ago when he discovered that Grimes had made the same joke three years earlier and reached out to her about it. One can only speculate on the awkwa...
