@SeahawksForever @HankHeil I can see the science that one is better than the other. To be honest, I would still accept either one if it meant we stop changing our clocks twice a year.

@SeahawksForever Bacon Gruyere scalloped potatoes for dinner. Not on your level (yet), but Im still pretty good once in a while.

@SeahawksForever Its so disappointing. Especially after all the World Cup good feels.

@CorbinSmithNFL This is so disappointing. After all the World Cup posts I was excited to be an American again, but then the underbelly shows themselves.

@formfireglass @RogerSeheult A lot of me doesnt care which one they pick, there are pros and cons for both. Just stop changing the clocks twice a year

@SkylarSkye3 Go scuba diving

@SeahawksForever I really like the idea of bringing KJ back into to fold, but straight to DC, even with a defensive head coach calling plays, it a big jump. LB coach/Assistant DC first?

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@StatsOnFire We had him first!

@CorbinSmithNFL @EmeraldSpectrum @SeahawksForever I have to be missing something because there's no way someone accused of armed robbery and kidnapping passes the Character requirement, right?

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@SeahawksForever Its like watching Antonio Brown all over again. Just incomprehensible decisions based on the emotions of that moment that make no sense and show no long term reasoning at all

@SeahawksForever Now I know what it feels like to be a Patriots fan

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@SeahawksForever 🤞

@SeahawksForever Gotta say, Lumen looks really good with real grass

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@AnnieAgar Is this what it feels like to be a Patriots fan?

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@AnnieAgar Why is it the main strategy of every team in the World Cup seems to prioritize drawing the foul over retaining possession? Why press the attack when you can stop play and let the other team reset?

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@DaynaOG Its nice that they're playing in Lumen South. Two Seattle games in a row!

[I'dRatherBeFlyingAnXWing @IdRatherBeFlyi5]

@ApexSeeker_ Taco Bell is to Mexican what Panda Express is to Chinese. Not authentic, but not necessarily trying to be. More like Loosely Inspired By.

@SeahawksForever .....not a medical expert, but I'm pretty sure diarrhea is not a mouth problem

@SeahawksForever @Outkick "This Jordan kid needs to be kicked out of the NBA. He's getting more attention than the rest of the league."

@ej_sa Ive never heard of this plan before, but on the surface it kinda makes sense. And seems slightly easier than getting a planet's core to start spinning.

Creating an artificial magnetic field for Mars isn't very hard. You only need to build a magnetic coil a few tens of meters wide which can induce a magnetic field of a few tesla.

This magnetic field would deflect high energy particles from the Sun, protecting Martian inhabitants from dangerous radiation.

The coil could sit at Mars's L1 Lagrange point so that it is always between Mars and the Sun. Being at L1 also means the particles don't need to be deflected much as only a relatively small amount of horizontal momentum has to be imparted onto them to miss the planet.

The magnetic coil can be made of a superconducting material so that, as long as it is kept below a certain temperature, a negligible amount of power is needed to maintain the magnetic field. The only thing which could resist the current is the miniscule back EMF from the particles being pushed by the field.

The coil could be kept cool like an MRI machine using cryogenic liquids and a cryocooler which would be the primary power draw from the solar panels. That cryogenic liquid could also be used to power cold gas thrusters to make micro adjustments to keep the station at L1.

It would also make sense to surround the magnetic coil with insulation and to put it under a sun-shield to reflect thermal radiation from the sun, as I have shown in the renders below.

All of this is known technology, it's quite literally just a very big MRI scanner powered by solar panels.
Once Starship or any other rocket is proven to be able to haul tens of tonnes of mass to Mars orbit, this could be assembled in a relatively short time.
