Ah I can see how it can be read that way! Sorry. Maybe I messed up the commas again. I'm perpetually confused because the rules are different in English and German.

I'm a bit confused, I explicitly wrote J.D. Vance, why would you assume Trump? :-D
He had the whole book taking up his Appalachian heritage didn't he? The end of my comment was of course sarcastic, because all he's doing is betraying rural America including the Appalachians.
Actually I remember reading a few weeks ago that BEAD money was cut. At the time I was thinking the Appalachians are gonna thank that one person who's totally one of them and their friend, J.D. Vance, for that.
Terabit per second speed is not impressive for backbone links. I could go to the office tomorrow and grab all the stuff needed to install one on our line through the alps, just by bundling 3 links of 400 Gbit/s with stuff we already have, and I'm working for a small to medium ISP.
What you are likely referring to, is the 1 Pbit/s over 1800 km demonstration that NICT presented at the OFC this year. That's impressive.
The dectector and the variable field (that induces the localized measurable changes) stop between scans, but the static magnetic field is kept up.
As long as you keep up the superconductitvity there is basically no electrical loss in the coils. Dialing the magnetic field down would require pulling out the energy, and reinjecting new energy to get the field back up. That's the slow part, because injecting current quickly would heat the coil above superconductivity, leading to a quench.
I'm not sure how energy is withdrawn in the ordinary shutdown procedure, but I expect it is exchanged into heat and vented to the outside air in some way, rather than reinjected into the grid in a usable form. (The latter would require an inverter to turn the DC back into AC synchronized to the grid, probably would increase complexity by too much). So I suspect it would be wasteful too.
Yeah I considered the supercooled electromagnert couldn't possibly rotate, but I wasn't sure if it could be modulated to change field directions or something. Didn't seem very likely. Thanks for the confirmation.
I listened to both Mousey and Geega. We know Mousey and the Foundation are being owed money. Geega refused to answer directly if she was owed any as well but said she tried to get positioned for a good outcome when anything happens and mentioned thinking about potentially sending a truck to get merch stock if it comes to it.
To me that sounds like Geega expects VShoujo might enter bankruptcy proceedings. I hope it doesn't come to that because then not everyone is going to see all their money.
Either way it feels like Vshojo has no clean way back from this. There will probably be an exodus of talents.
I know Geega will be fine she did this indy stuff before and has a high degree of maturity in matters of business.
For Mousey I'm a little worried emotionally. Even though she has a good support system with Connor and the boys and Zen and Mel and many other friends, I feel like she will be taking this very hard.
I'm worried for Henya too. She still seems like she needs the support circle a lot, with the language barrier and everything as well. She was happy to be officially part of something and might be shy if she was an indie despite everyone telling her they can still collab.
Oh and the JP branch! No idea how things work for them. Maybe if they have JP managers something can be split off over there without being corrupted?
Michi and Kuro are also kind of hard cases, as relatively recent previous nijisanji victims.
Mel can probably handle it, she has a strong indy history, though it will be emotionally hard as she was strongly connected to vshoujo early on. And the timing with her move is horrible.
Sydney doesn't need Vshojo at all, not worried for her.
Froot and Haruka I know the least about among the EN ones, I think they were both personally struggeling already so this is not great. But I have the impression that Froot, Haruka, Zentreya, and Arielle form a pretty good group that can help each other.
Kson will probably be fine too. She has the independant streak anyway as one of the big names to leave holo early on.

Even that article fails to mention if and when the magnet was quenched.
I remember that one. The cop was stupid enough to get his gun snatched, and then he was stupid enough to quench the MRI for that!
Here's the docket for the resulting court case. In their response this year the LAPD seem to have summarily denied everything.

Unless something gets stuck. Then it is shut down and restarted after the thing is removed. Takes hours though, I think the startup was four hours.
They had that happen at the hospital my father worked at, the cleaning lady brought in a stool with steel legs. They tried to remove it by force first, but four men could not do it.
