In "may you live in interesting times" news, we likely have the first footage of an exoatmospheric intercept against a ballistic missile launched in anger: https://twitter.com/JokermanIntel/status/1779305129470242845?t=p5Hjy5zceks4bydyaW3GeA&s=19 Hooray?

Mr. Nice! posted:that's cause teslas are cheap plastic crap on the inside. I had the misfortune of riding in a (brand new) Model 3 to get to the airport the other day - I've somehow gone this long never having been in any Tesla. My $18k-brand-new 2015 Ford Focus with the lower-profile tires is all around a nicer car to inhabit. It's a smoother ride over bumps, has more cushioned seats, has less rattles and squeaks, and isn't any louder inside at highway speed. It also has door handles instead of duplicating the button to roll down the windows for the door release, which is absolutely inscrutable in the dark. Tesla has served it's purpose getting Americans and the world to think EVs can be cool cars. Time for Musk to go and for the new leadership to pivot to Supercharger networks and battery platforms. Recall all the cars and recycle them.

And now for something completely different. From the "still learning the fundamentals" desk, a team from MIT has discovered the "photomolecular effect" - whereby water molecules are knocked free by the physical interaction with photons, resulting in evaporation even in the absence of heat energy. How light can vaporize water without the need for heat quote:In a series of painstakingly precise experiments, a team of researchers at MIT has demonstrated that heat isn’t alone in causing water to evaporate. Light, striking the water’s surface where air and water meet, can break water molecules away and float them into the air, causing evaporation in the absence of any source of heat.
