Sometimes, I update my Fedora system and then have to reboot. Itโ€™s rare, but my system sometimes doesnโ€™t shutdown before rebooting. I know that because my LCD monitorโ€™s backlight is still on and my CPU fan doesnโ€™t even stop for a split second (and its RGB lights remain blue; they would become multicolor if the PC rebooted). In this case, I have to force the PC to shutdown. Is that dangerous for my system @hhyyrylainen?

It depends. If youโ€™ve selected to install updates the system might be hanging around on the boot screen to install updates, in which case, yes, it is very dangerous to shut down.

If the system is not really doing anything but actually stuck then it is very unlikely that forcing a shutdown would cause issues. So it really depends on what is going on.

I think if life itself canโ€™t be a great filter, nucleous acquiration could be the last one left behind us

Because IQ tests donโ€™t score education. They score a personโ€™s ability to recognize patterns, an appropiate IQ test wouldnโ€™t ask for any knowledge on a topic.

I wonder how many people actually know IQ tests arenโ€™t as perfect as some claim them to be

Apparently it some kind of special formatting thing.
So basically it does nothing unless big H add some custom tags to the css

So until the next major forum update at least I guess?

I mean I am not sure what kind of custom formatting would be useful tbh

Itโ€™s CSS that hhyyrylainen has to add.

They said doing so would allow the users to break the forum, unless they meant some kind of a full implementation as this dangerous scenario

Drake Equation Calculator
What do you guys think of the drake equation? I think itโ€™s a pretty good tool to estimate the amount of civilizations in our galaxy.

It could be there are some factors we donโ€™t know that greatly limit this number

Personally not a huge fan of the drake equation but itโ€™s fun to think about and mess around with


Anyways I got 3 for these numbers

Also it should be mentioned we would most likely only be able to communicate with civs close to our system relatively to the galactic scale

no worries theses long belgium posts are one of my favorites brands of posts, i do them all of the time XD

I was wondering if any lifeform on a planet like this would utilize this constant influx of kinetic energy to power themselvesโ€ฆ Earth plants are, bluntly put, biological solar panels, so what if planets like theses had biological wind turbines?

It is funny to call it a โ€œequationโ€ when it is more akin to theses Algodoo elimination races videos in a basic math format than an actual scientific equation, thatโ€™s because it was made in one week by drake so we would had anything to showcase on a conference he was going to participateโ€ฆ it is a fun little thing, at best, my result here was 24480 civilizations.
Unfortunely people use it to talk about the fermi paradox that is sooooo annoyingโ€ฆ

Do we know a mechanism thatโ€™d allow an efficient energy extraction from wind into chemical energy?

Only if they can edit the CSS themselves, the wrap function allows them to create divs with tags that can be modified by CSS defined by the administrators.
