Jumping off the ISS wouldn’t cause you to de-orbit—it would just put you in a slightly more elliptical orbit that would eventually intersect the ISS again.

And if you did get into an orbit that took you down into the atmosphere, no parachute would save you—parachutes are for slowing to a safe landing speed from terminal velocity, not from orbital velocity. You’d need to go through atmosphere too thin to fill a chute, but still fast enough to burn you up.

I think the reason you’re not seeing that kind of device is that zigbee is designed more for low-bandwidth, sporadic updates rather than continuous streams of live data like you typically expect from a probe thermometer.

As long as you don’t observe it.

“Average” is ambiguous—it could mean arithmetic mean, geometric mean, median, mode, etc.

The half-life is equivalent to the median lifetime, but the name is more self-explanatory (and emphasizes that half the radiation is still there).

Nobody notices things that conform to their expectations—but when anything violates their expectations, they assume it’s a deliberate message. (Even if it’s fiction violating their genre expectations in the direction of reality.)

And if they can’t figure out what the message is supposed to be, they let other people tell them. And if people tell them different things, they go with the one that makes them feel the strongest reaction.

The optimist in me says they’re doing this to avoid piracy.

Won’t pirates just buy their source copies on a different platform, so now Amazon loses the original sale as well?

Most of it is not actually in verse.

Misleading/wrong posts don’t usually spoof the origin - they post the wrong information in their own name.

You could argue that that’s because there’s no widely-accepted method for verifying sources—if there were, information relayed without a verifiable source might come to be treated more skeptically.

I could see it working if (say) someone tries to modify or fabricate video from a known news source, where you could check the key against other content from the same source.

Although a chessboard has only 64 squares, there are 1040 possible legal chess moves and between 10111 to 10123 total possible moves — which is more than the total number of atoms in the universe.

You’d think a website called “LiveScience” would be able to use exponents in article copy correctly. (Or at least have reviewers who know that there are more atoms in the universe than there are in a small protein molecule.)

They see them, they just don‘t want to alarm us.

Looks similar to Footlight. Maybe it’s by the same designer (Ong Chong Wah)?

Using ZHA, it has an entity id of sensor.[device name]_pressure. I don’t know how it works with Zigbee2MQTT.

This one. (Note that “air pressure” is listed as a special feature.)

I use Aqara zigbee sensors—they cost under $20 and measure temperature, humidity, and air pressure. I’ve been using one outside (in a covered location) for over a year with no issues.

I tested mine with an infrared thermometer: Starting cold, I turned one burner to medium and another to high, and measured them as they heated up. They heated at the same rate until the medium burner reached its target temperature.

that putting the thermostat up higher will heat the house up quicker

Same with electric range/ovens.

Ask an LLM to find you such a list—if it doesn’t, then you have a documented failure right there.

Clip art/stock art.

That is, “art” that’s intended to be meaningless until someone else uses it in a context that supplies a meaning.
