There's no danger for an mri unless you've had major surgery involving metal inplants. There's no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.

Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.

The bollard needs to be replaced at this point. May as well just cut it off. Hiring a crane is unnecessary.

Did you even read the article? NPR also published the same format about Trump's convention speech which covered 162 false and misleading statements and is linked in the beginning of this article. Also, if you read the content of this piece, most of the explanations just make Trump look bad.

Why not? The ps5 is good at pretending to do 4k, but is very much on the anemic side of graphics power for 4k gaming. Why wouldn't people want a performance bump if it's available and they can afford to upgrade?

Caffeine can decrease your saliva production and lead to a dry mouth. If you add any dairy products to your coffee, that can increase your sinus congestion.

I wouldn't worry much about it. Just make sure you are also drinking plenty of water. Getting dehydrated will adversely affect your recovery time.

I know it may not be worth pursuing, but that specifically can invalidate a patent.

There is also the issue that if building nuclear plants takes too long and is too expensive to be the solution, then such a project would also be too late to matter. Also transmission losses likely mean this is a solution for much less of the world population than you think. If we had a truly global lossless grid, then we would need much less energy storage to begin with.

Impracticalities aside, absurd geoengineering what-ifs are entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

Pumped hydro is both very geologically limited and environmentally detrimental. That technology alone will not substantially reduce the need for other power storage technologies/ peaker plants.

Real estate seems to be a popular place for seemingly unnecessary middlemen.

They should certainly have an input, but their desire to get home quickly might really bias them into taking unnecessary risks. I'm not sure I agree with giving them the final call.

It may sound callous, but the downsides also aren't completely theirs. The death of two astronauts would impact NASA as a whole, and to an extent even the whole US. For NASA it may very well be worth making two people wait another 6 months if it means showing the public that safety comes first.

And what if the two astronauts don't agree? Can they allow 1 to descend solo while the other waits?

Imagine thinking that PhD's and postdocs aren't exploited by capitalism.

Nor should they ever again.
