  • Clubs are a good call. Look into societies at your university, find something that you’re interested in or think you could be interested in. Societies are social in a way that seminars and other course activities are not. Don’t worry if you don’t “click” with anyone immediately, keep attending and do your best to engage in conversations.

    I also recommend seeking out a university counsellor. Most universities will have them and their advice can be valuable.

    I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

    The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

    The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

    I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those “grown up” games I couldn’t play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it’s like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!





  • Human terminal velocity is roughly 56 m/s. Let’s say our superhero wants to decelerate the person at 10G, which should be survivable for a short period. That would be 0.6 seconds of deceleration over 48 m. That’s a short time but quite a long distance, let’s slow down faster:

    20G -> 0.28 seconds, 24 m.

    30G -> 0.19 seconds, 16 m.

    50G -> 0.11 seconds, 9.6 m.

    100G -> 0.057 seconds, 4.79 m.

    200G -> 0.029 seconds, 2.45 m.

    5000G -> 0.0011 seconds, 3.6 inches.

    A 40 mph car crash in a modern car into a solid wall gives around 15G.

    F1 driver David Purley survived a 180G crash in 1977.

    In short, I don’t recommend catching someone with 3 inches to spare.
