The cold part means you don't need ridiculously high temperatures to get it to happen, it does not describe the outcome of the reaction.

Think of it more like autoignition temperature, rather than flame temperature. There are substances that will ignite by themselves at room temperature, but they still produce heat when burned. Fusion is a lot harder though, while there are ways to make it happen at reduced temperatures, like replacing the electrons with bosons muons, we don't quite know how to do that in a way that's practical for power generation.

The reason you're asking is also a part of why they've started calling it Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. Firstly, because "cold" in the stellar sense is a lot more hot than in the human sense, and secondly because "cold fusion" does not have a good track record for predicting anything which gives it a bad rep.

The fusion itself would happen at room temperature, but the process would release enough heat to boil water. Also, cold fusion doesn't mean room temperature. Compared to natural fusion, even fusion at 10k K would be considered cold.

The "cold" in "cold fusion" refers to the starting conditions, rather than it being cold the whole time (I think!)

So it still gets hot, and you can extract energy from it, but it doesn't require as much energy to get it going.

That's a great question! Cold fusion is a form of nuclear fusion that occurs at a much lower temperature than traditional nuclear fusion. It would create power by releasing energy in the form of heat which could then be used to generate electricity.

i can't fathom a person thinking pee is stored in the penis

>I would not have thought that. Coming from a mountain and road biker who very often bikes above 20 mph, but very often bikes much slower than that as well.

Downhill skiing (as opposed to cross country skiing) is done going only downhill. So the speeds will tend to be higher than an average for cycling that includes flat and uphill regions.

I’m a casual skier, and I know I’ve hit 50 mph for short stretches. It’s very easy to pick up a lot of speed under the right circumstances. In contrast, when I cycle it’s on flat ground at a pace that evidently is slower than Google maps expects, so presumably quite a lot slower than my skiing speed.

"An erection is all about relaxation

Although an erect penis might feel like a tensed muscle, what you're actually feeling is specialised spongy tissue designed for the sole purpose of erection (the corpus cavernosum), which needs to be relaxed to get hard."

Testosterone levels peak in the morning. Here is a link to a graph which shows levels throughout the day:

I actually think, that only if your bladder is so full that your body wants to get more storage, so you get hard to make some more "room" for your pee. No scientific evidence, just my observation.

🤨

Id guess because of time spent on the ice using it is longer and you have to keep your head on a swivel more compared to in football?

Talking out of my ass, but id have to have a heavier helmet and play hockey.

Wood anytime we have to pee?

Not a skier but Ive down downhill mtb.

Do they not do ski helmets the way they do mtb bike helmets and different ones have different levels of protection? Or is it fairly minimal in terms of different levels, I know different brands will differ but I mean is there a "high speed\high impact" style compared to a groomed trail style?

I know there isn't face guards like downhill mtb helmets but maybe more rear protection or less venting and more surface area for padding?

maybe Multi impact helmets like skateboarding helmets vs one time use like bike helmets?
