Standard NBA hoop and ball. If 2024 were to come down to a dunk contest, who has a bigger roster to pick from and what is the headcount for each side?

Hypothetically, if I were to sell it, I'm just wondering how much it would fetch.

Supposedly, we can survive without food for a few weeks, we can survive without water for a few days, and without oxygen for a few minutes.

​

But how long do you all think someone would last jogging without stopping? To be more specific, here are a few parameters:

-average adult male

-initial 8 minute-mile pace

-can slightly lose speed over time (or not, if that makes estimation easier)

-no food or water during run

​

Personally my estimate would be a few hours, probably 3.

I'm sure it is much higher if the person has some running experience. What does everyone think?

What would the radius be to have 1 gee centrifugal with a rotation rate of 1 (sidereal) day?
Been musing having a ring structure around the earth which could be a foundation to construct solar power stations which can be left aimed at ground stations and have sucessions of geostationary communication, ground and weather monitoring installed.
But not swift with the math needed to calculate distance or know if this can be acheived with current material engineering for building an "Endless Suspension Bridge" around the Earth.

So let's say you are able to get a ton of pure co2, and extract the pure carbon from that. Would it just be a third of the weight, or something different? I googled it, and I couldn't find anything about the weight of carbon within co2, other than it being 1 atom's worth.

I'm betting it's impressive. Maybe you could do a time series as well adjusted to the growth in popularity of orthodontics in general.

It would be neat to see it start out at nearly 100% of all braces-havers are also college-goers, and fall as dental care becomes more widespread.

What percentage of mattresses have been slept slept on. I’m thinking most hotel beds and most adults’ mattresses especially since some are second hand. But then maybe some people actually do get a new one every 7 years and nobody’s shagging in their childhood bed? Maybe they are?

I would never sell it, it's my baby.

Let's say you had 500 calories in 30 minutes. If you vomit immediately afterwards, how many calories do you retain? After 1 hour? After X hours?

Personal Note: I am pregnant. I would never throw up on purpose. I wish I wouldn't throw up right now.

Let's say I want to start a university, which in some time would be able to rival the Ivy Leagues? I would probably want to build it in the USA or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia... How much would it cost?

And let's say I start an online high school first in Pakistan (my country). How much would it cost to get started and get it to a national and international level?

Assume that every living human has an equal chance of being selected. Express the answer as a fraction of Earth's volume.

I'm able to solve this question using datasets and a computer program. But estimating it using back-of-the-envelope calculations is proving to be a tricky task.

Hello, I've been looking into online scientific articles and I was able to find a few ones about the subject. On these articles it is normally observed that the torque value of the motors doubles or even quadruples with the direct contact of the rotor and the stator while consuming the same amount of energy.

Some articles:

https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/13/17/4286

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322650195\_Airgap-less\_Electric\_Motors\_with\_External\_Rotor

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8002357

However, I really can't find anything but a few articles, so I'd like to ask around and see if someone can help or give an educated guess.

For example, I was thinking of making the rotor rotate just like a hypocycloidal drive. On top of that, I was also thinking on making the stator and rotor into gear-teeth.

This is a gif that I found here: https://visforvoltage.org/comment/77084

But I'm not qualified enough to even guess how this would improve the performance of the electric motor, nor I feel confident on even attempting on designing such thing.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

As I am studying for a biochemistry exam, I start to get a glimpse of the metabolic, signalling and other pathways and their role in living (eucaryotic) stuff. I was trying to picture a cell so huge, that I could just waltz inside a say to myself "hey, let's go check the mitochondria" or "omg these ribosomes are EVERYWHERE and so on". But I realized, I have no clue, what are the real ratios of sizes of molecules vs. organelles vs. ..., or how many molecules of a single type of enzyme are there in a cell and so on. Can someone help me draw such a picture?

I mean those where you hang stunned chicken upside down on a line of moving hooks and soon they have their heads cut off by a rotating saw. Then, dully how many chicken would that make in a lifetime, if the person sticked to that job from 18 y.o. until the retirement age, observing labour laws in the US?

I am building a team and system for a construction company. I am looking for a bid management system to log bid requests with all the data needed so the estimators can get access to data and deadlines. I need them to have estimating and takeoff tools. I thought of several options but I need your help. My estimator recommended CostX, Candy, BlueBeam, Planswift and for bidding Smartbid, Pantera, Procore and BuildingConntected. I am not sure what would be the systems that would work together smoothly and have the best value for us. I appreciate your help and recommendations.
