  • I agree it's not big at all. Also there's a 2/3 chance it goes into the ocean not creating any crater at all.

    I just ran some scenarios through AI. I'm not any kind of physicist or anything like that, but I tested some gotchas and the results seem to be reasonable (in a What If kind of way of thinking - the numbers should be correct in order of magnitude).

    Only ~8% of asteroids falling on the Earth are metallic.

    You can get the size of the original asteroid from the size of crater (mass of the moon and the nature of regolith are known). The biggest variables are speed of the asteroid and angle of impact (I took a reasonable guess and assumed they are not changing in these scenarios). Whether the original asteroid was mettalic or not we may never know.

  • It depends on the material.

    If the same asteroid that created the 225m wide crater on moon hit earth instead it would burn up in earth atmosphere if it was rocky in nature (~3.6m wide, 73 tons).

    If the crater was made by a mostly iron asteroid, it would create a 12.5m crater on earth (~2.3m wide, 51 tons).

    The reason for this is that rocky asteroids shatter thus have bigger surface area to burn up.

    Iron asteroids stay solid and survive the atmosphere much easily.

  • Interesting, didn't know Telegram has interactive UI bot options.

  • Since NT 4.0 it's just bloat. They never rewrote the whole codebase. It makes sense for backwards compatibility but falls apart when you're installing a driver via 30 years old GUI.

  • IF Trump leaves office, some of these things might happen and some of them even sucessfully.

  • It's not nonsense at all! It's just even though I enjoy logical puzzles, this one just isn't for me. It's pretty cool that it's not the pure old kind, but you've added colors.

  • No way I'd be deliberately triggering myself with a variation of Hanoi recursion PTSD programming nonsense.

    Cool game though.

  • And here I was, wondering if my screen is going bad with that pink hue.

  • Maybe neutral and ground are reversed in this video, along with another fault.

    From safety standpoint neither live or neutral can't ever be connected to something you can touch with your hand. Phase and neutral can both kill you equally, that's why under all current laws neutral and ground are separated.

    Phase and neutral are supposed to be reversible because the current inside is alternative and flows back and forth anyway.

  • RuStore... what a joke
