Curious. I have this unilateral tectal lesion, and I came across articles saying that superior colliculi lesions are associated with distractibility and even ADHD. My main complaint during visits to psychiatrists since the 2000 has been "I can't concentrate", and I stopped translation work due to distractibility/mental fatigue

> Two Korean research institutes are designing the 2.2 km × 2.7 km Korean Space Solar Power Satellite project with the aim of providing approximately 1 TWh of electricity to the Earth per year. The proposed system should use 4,000 sub-solar arrays of 10 m × 270 m, made out of thin film roll-out, with a system power efficiency of 13.5%.

“This amount exceeds South Korea’s electricity consumption in 2021 (0.5334 TWh) and surpasses the combined electricity consumption of South and North Korea for a certain period of time.”

13.5% efficient? sounds horrid till you realise how bad solar cell efficiency is.

How do they get the power down ?

I should read the link then

"transmit microwave at a frequency of 5.8 GHz to Earth via a 1.0 km2 antenna"

"On the ground, the researchers propose to place 60 rectennas with a diameter of 4 km along the Korean Demilitarized Zone ..." AKA 60 SPACE LAZERZ READY TO BLAST NORTH KOREA !

that'll go down well

I think I've respected stresses this time.

Speaking as a former moderator, this is true.

Except for the last one, which literally could have been anywhere, today's was mostly pretty straight-forward. I flipped a coin on (3) for the location (the best clue I saw was a sign in a particular language; there are two places major places where that language is spoken).

(2) I was pretty sure that I knew what was going on, but had to look up the year.

@XanderHenderson Is lookup allowed?

@jlliagre I don't know?

I would have guessed one year later, based on my memory of the event. But I looked it up to be sure.

@XanderHenderson Noted. Can we use Google search image too? ;-)

Is it okay to call the Serbian language, which is also the Croatian language, as the "Yugoslavian" language?

After all, it's used also by Bosnians-And-Herzegovinians, and Montenegrins.

proibably better than "central european"

@jlliagre that seems like a bridge too far, to me.

Though if you do, I expect nothing but 1000s. :)

Fur what it's worth, the Google search was "mets world series 1987".

(I followed baseball pretty religiously as a child, so had a memory of the Mets winning a series around then.)
