[ "It does not require much of an understanding of either. Lumen is basically all the light there is. If you have a 1000 lm light bulb, that thing puts out a given quantity of light, so if you put it inside a box, that box is filled with 1000 lumens worth of light. Candela is the light going into a particular direction. Imagine a spotlight versus a regular globe. If both emit the same amount of light, someone on the side of it will be seeing relatively little from the spot, and a normal amount from the globe - the globe has more candela there. On the other hand, if it is pointed at you, the spot will be a lot brighter than the globe, i.e. the spot has more candela in that particular direction. Lux is the amount of light that eventually hits a surface. If you illuminate your desk with a 1000 lm lightbulb, it will be fairly bright (high lux), if you illuminate an entire street, you will barely see it at all (low lux)." ]

[ "The lens in your eye takes light that is coming in from all directions and focuses it into one spot on the back of your eye. The reason your eyesight is poor is because the lens isn't focusing the light correctly. When you squint, you're limiting the angles that light can come into your eye. With only a tiny slit of vision the majority of the light will be coming in at a direct angle and so there isn't as much need to focus the light. It's basically how a pinhole camera works without a lens." ]

[ "Hi, I found [this paper]( URL_0 ) which has a section that talks about how crystalline solids and amorphous solids have an inverse relationship of refractive index to temperature. If I understand the paper correctly, they say the electric polarizability of the material decreases with temperature. They say the electric polarizability is inversely related to the number of oscillators per volume. I think an ELI5 way to say this is that the refractive index changes with temperature because the density of your substance changes with temperature." ]

Most everyone can say or sing in the same frequencies, but they'll all sound different due to physical differences and techniques. Those differences give timbre to the sound. Because the human brain is very good at picking up patterns, it finds harmonious sound(has distinct patterns in multiples of frequencies) pleasing compared to dissonant sounds(the frequency patterns that sound 'off') in a similar way that brain prefers symmetrical facial features to a facial feature that looks 'off'. On the side note, preference to symmetrical face is also due to correlation between genetic abnormality and/or upbringing environment and face symmetry, which has some influence in attracting mates. Preference in certain vocal qualitities may also be related to that." ]

[ "When you can see steam, what you’re seeing is tiny drops of water being carried upward by the invisible water vapor. Since the air around steam is usually cooler than the steam, as soon as it evaporates tiny drops of water will condense out of the steam. It’s basically a cloud being carried up by hot air. The air outside usually has much less water vapor in it relative to its temperature. However, if there is a lot of water vapor in the air and it is a cold day, you will see the water vapor condense into fog. That’s also tiny droplets of water. As to the shadows, those happen because exhaust is much hotter than the surrounding air. This heat means that light travels at a different speed through the exhaust, and when light moves from a medium where it travels at one speed to a medium where it travels at a different speed, it bends, or refracts. You see the effect of that refraction as a shadow on the ground. For a similar effect, try holding a pair of glasses a short distance above the ground on a sunny day. They bend the light, creating a shadow." ]

[ "> We were recently informed that we might be getting this technology at work Oh darn, prepare your resume because your company is getting scammed. In theory a \"Zenneck Wave\" is a special kind of wave which uses the Earth's surface as a wave guide to... tack together word salad apparently. The idea is basically identical to the classic \"Tesla's wireless power\" idea and while that at least isn't entirely impossible it suffers from being incredibly inefficient over longer distances. We can charge a phone wirelessly provided you lay it directly on the charging antenna but powering a home from 1000 yards would be wasting 99% of the energy. You can be absolutely sure that this Zenneck Wave isn't ready for commercial applications because even if it did work, which it certainly does not, there wouldn't be any way to charge customers for its use. What is to keep someone from setting up their own wireless receiving node and stealing electricity? Getting back to the importance of updating your resume, we can assume that if upper level management is saying your workplace will be getting this technology then your company is likely investing in the scam itself (there is no reason for this to exist than to gather funding prior to actually delivering on a product).

Finally, if you still want to think of it as division-remainder, try these steps. -5 / 3 = -3/3 + -2/3 = -1 remainder -2 The remainder is -2, which means \"two less than zero\".

That faster method is basically to multiply units and decades separately and sum the results. That's in fact an algorithm that allows faster multiplication based on how we break down numbers to write them down. Well, the Schonhage strassen is another algorithm, that uses another way to break numbers down to multiply them.

There's a lot of debate over this, and no clear right answer. All humans everywhere in the world make music (and dance!), so it's likely that it's been with us since the beginning of our species. Some psychologists think that it's a side effect of our brains being wired for language; others think that it actually predates language and has more in common with songs in other animals like birds or whales. It definitely uses a lot of the same brain skills that language needs--recognizing melodies and rhythms is pretty fundamental to being able to speak and understand.

[ "In short: (no pun intended) shorthand is a way of replacing long drawn out complete sentences to scribe what someone is saying, since most people talk faster than a person can write. In the days of pen and paper secretaries, when an executive would ask them to \"take a note\", the scribe would have to keep up with the boss's normal speech speed without asking them to stop, repeat, or pause (which would be annoying and cause the boss to fire them). So they developed a sort of code that let them write fewer characters down, and then later when they had time transcribe their shorthand into the full text of the message. Many different forms of shorthand exist, but the basic idea is a symbolic replacement for mouth sounds, rather than the standard 26 character alphabet. A certain squiggly line might represent the \"guh\" sound, or the \"mah\" sound. Or the position of two characters next to each other to indicate the vowel sound between them, eg. B with a T to the right might mean \"bat\" but B with a T below might mean \"but\", in each case, eliminating the need for the actual writing of the vowel, thus speeding up the writing process. In all cases of shorthand, the idea is that you then later transcribe your shorthand notes into longhand writing to make it accessible to people who don't know that shorthand code. Journalists who take down shorthand notes, don't print them directly into the paper, they take their interview notes back to their desk and type out the actual quotes in longhand for distribution." ]

The bombe was set to stop when it found a combination that could turned a part of the encrypted message into what they guessed was the correct word. When they had a hit, they could check if the combination can translate the entire message using an actual replica of an enigma machine. So finding messages that could be harvested for this kind of guesswork was a really important part of the operation - they often used weather reports, which came in nice and early and always included the word \"Wetterbericht\" at the same location." ]

[ "When you start a car, the twist of a key actually automatically activates many separate systems. First it powers the electrical system to many critical components. Fuel pump. Engine control unit. Ignition system. Then if you continue twisting the key it engages the starter motor, and starts the engine. You release the key and all of the systems keep the engine running. In an aircraft all of these critical flight systems are isolated on different switches, and often have multiple backups (fuel pumps, ignition systems, hydraulics, air pressure, different sources of power for the electrical system, totally separate electrical systems). There is a redundancy and level of safety here that lets a pilot troubleshoot and select or de-power systems individually in the event of a failure while in flight or on the ground. Hence the complexity of starting. It requires a certain order of operation to bring everything online to start a plane. EDIT: Some seriously good discussion here about aircraft. A couple of points to make. Are we talking about starting the engines only, or taking an aircraft from cold and dark to ready to taxi? I agree that FADEC systems allow an automated start. But even then you still have to at least turn on the battery master. And even if the aircraft could be fully automated, that wouldn’t preclude the need to check and verify that everything is working and set appropriately. Also, automated systems are their own system that needs to be monitored with the possibility of failure (MCAS). I’m not making an argument one way or another, thanks for the discussion. EDIT 2- One final comment guys. Many people have said this, and I will agree. A fully automated, one touch button start aircraft, complete with systems integrity monitoring is technically possible. And in small drones you can actually find this technology today. The question is, is this acceptable, is this safe, and how can we determine the risk going forward. Commercial air travel is by far the safest method of travel in the world today. It’s a really really high bar to even meet. Getting technology to match that level could be coming in the future, but it’s going to be a long and slow implementation." ]

But there are a variety of factors that you're adjusting for to keep the beat, like the time between jumps, or when you allow your feet to intercept the floor. And it's not something you know perfectly, just like keeping a rhythm while tapping your finger or anything else you will get out of sync and have to either add a pause put in a filler beat to catch up to the rhythm. So just think of it like how you can adjust how hard you tap, how quickly you drop the finger, and how quickly you lift it again. But these adjustments are very subtle, and your brain works out the sweet spot fairly quick to create a steady pattern. Continued practice will allow you to go for longer without losing the beat." ]

[ "I am a former promoter of bands back in the Post-punk days (ca. '85-'92-ish). Our struggle was to find venues that would host us. Afternoon shows at pizzerias, smaller bars, a failing teen club all took a chance on us. As a naive lad of 17, I helped build what you are trying to do. Some of this info is dated, but money is money. You want to start with bars that have a PA already in place. Where they play recorded music on Saturday night, dance clubs, dance halls and the like. If you're very lucky the part time guy who runs the board will know how to run live music. They won't have any other gear. No mics, wires or miscellanea. Do not propose architectural changes to any venue. They will not let you bring in or build a stage. Live music night is a deviation from how they're making money today and they don't want to mess with the formula. One of our success stories was a former disco trying to make a run of it as a teen club. The punk fans continued to go to the club. Some of the club regulars became part of \"the scene\". It paid off for everybody. The club already had risers on the dance floor which were used as a stage. After a few successful shows the club invested in rudimentary stage lighting for the \"stage\" and hosted genres outside our purview as self-righteous elitists. After that, you approach management at anywhere people gather with a preference to bars. You will be doing everything that isn't playing (and you'll be too tired and exasperated to play yourself by show time). You get the PA. You find and hire a tech or do the sound mix. You get wires, mics and the like. You may even have to acquire lighting, although this may or may not be required depending on the room. Do not forget security. A bunch of big tough-looking guys standing around can prevent a lot of problems. They get a few bucks for the night. If you are just starting out in a new venue with bands looking for a room, forget all of the newfangled stuff and just do an old-fashioned door deal. This is how we used to do it. It was $4 to $6 at the door (in 198X). For a set of untested groups, I'd limit the cover to $10 in today's money. The venue who works the door gets half. Arrange that you have a loyalist to count the door. You get the other half. All of your expenses come out of your half. This includes paying the bands. The bands get a set amount of time on stage, neither more nor less within 20% or something. If you have a headliner with a crowd, they only get a minimum, say, 30 minutes. In the contract, oral or otherwise, it must be clear that all the bands must clear the venue 30 minutes before last call. Generally, they are free to roam the premises personally but their gear must be in the van after the shows. This keeps things straight with the venue. Of your cut, the bands get 40-50% and they have to trust you on this. You could work it so that your expenses are a fixed amount and after that each band gets a cut with no minimum stated. It is also possible that you are out of pocket on the show and nobody gets paid. On the occasions this happened to me I handed out $40 (198X) for expenses, your mileage may vary. The business of presale is for established acts playing at established venues or for people so desperate to play out they are willing to put up a grand or two for the night. Until you have an active \"scene\", that's not something you should mess with. With a door deal, everybody knows they show up at a certain tavern or whatever and they might make $500 or they might make nothing if no one turns up. Promotion is very specific to regional influence, and is a whole other ball game." ]

Aside from that, the estimated million or so pieces smaller than 10cm/4in are not really tracked and there are millions more that are millimetre sized, only the ~20000 bigger pieces are actively tracked. That being said, once you've tracked an object once and figured out it's orbit it is relatively easy to keep track of it and predict where it's going to be and when (especially for a computer), because their path is more or less fixed since they don't have propulsion (as opposed to a stealth fighter flying around)." ]

With end to **end** encryption, they can also tell where your endpoint is. Accessing Netflix over HTTPS, they still know that Netflix owns the IP Address you're communicating to. You can instead use a tunnel endpoint that reaches out from there, but then you risk the ISP for *that* endpoint throttling your data. On top of all this, they can also infer what you're doing based on traffic patterns. If you make an initially reasonable sized request, followed by data coming in at a fairly consistent rate, they can infer that you're using some sort of streaming service. Also consider this: The model that Ajit 'Dear god I hope he spills his entire stupid oversized mug of hot coffee all over his crotch' Pai is trying to get passed allows for \"Fast Lane\" traffic if it's paid for. Without building explicitly new infrastructure, this means that the default is the slow lane, and certain services pay for \"fast lane\". Thus, they throttle ALL traffic unless they can explicitly identify it AS a fast-lane service. (Keep in mind, that all they're doing to create a fast lane is slow down everything else and use the existing infrastructure as a fast lane)." ]

In a flat universe, the distance between you will always be the same. In an elliptic (aka spherical) universe, you'll eventually meet each other. In a hyperbolic universe, you'll eventually get further and further away from each other.

[ "I hope that someone could translate this into ELI5 as I don't think I've done an amazing job. The human mind builds a conceptual model of reality. The model is updated based on new experiences. It starts with our 'thinking' part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex. We commit an action, then our senses feed back to the brain how well we did. Our 'proprioception' tells us where all our limbs moved to (you know where your arms are, even in the dark). Our 'vestibular' system in our ears feeds back information about balance and gravity. Specific receptors in our skin and muscles feed back information about forces on the body. Our eyes feeds back information about the target and our accuracy. We consciously and subconsciously adjust to achieve our desired outcome (throwing something at a target). The brain computes all this information and updates itself, like the way that machines learn. A couple of little seahorse shaped 'hippocampi' structures help transfer our conscious learning into unconscious learning. As we commit learning into long term memory the skill is imprinted in deeper parts of the brain. We call it 'muscle memory' but it's really the nervous system, not the musculoskeletal system that stores the information. If we lived on Mars, or if the light from the sky were bright red, or if the force from gravity moved around, our brain would create a different model of reality so that we could interact with the world more effectively. Brains are plastic in that they can morph and rewire themselves in just a couple of weeks. Really I find it fascinating." ]

[ "I think there's no a direct way they decided the genre of the words, in most of the cases. I know there're some languages with genres that is easily to associate with the words, and others (like mine, Spanish) that are special. In general, words that is clearly associated to a man o a woman (or an animal that is masculine o feminine) is really clear how to associate the genre (example in Spanish): el guapo - la guapa; the first is masculine because references a man, and the second to a woman. Other things, that you ask too, is objects that they don't have an inherent genre, like cup, window, etc., the genre probably (I think) is associated with the article that sounds better with the word (article is the word used to make emphasis in the genre of the word, eg.: el from the above example). For example, sounds good to say \"el avión\" instead of \"la avión\" (the plane) or \"el teclado\" instead of \"la teclado\" (the keyboard). As an extra, in Spanish, at least, we referee a group of something with the masculine article always if the word can have both genres, for example \"el/la violinista\" (the violinist) have both genres, depending of the sex of the person, but if you use plural, \"los violinistas\" (plural masculine article) doesn't imply that the group is all of men, could have women too; but \"las violinistas\" (plural feminine article) implies that the group is all women. That is my explanation as a Spanish person, maybe a linguist could explain with a better or more generic explanation :)" ]

[ "The answer is, it shouldn't really. You have several types of taste receptors. The \"sweet\" receptors are on the lookout for sugars, which are organic molecules (read: mostly carbon based and so not made from metallic elements). On the other hand, your \"sour\" receptors sense changes in H^+ concentration (though strangely, they sense the concentration INSIDE the receptor, so the acid molecule must first get in the cell). As you can imagine, metallic ions aren't going to activate either of those. If anything, metallic salts (apart from table salt, NaCl) tend to taste quite bitter (though I wouldn't recommend you try - they also tend to be quite poisonous). This leads to the conclusion that what you're tasting is not metal, and so whatever you're licking is probably not totally clean. Source: UK Med student who just had lectures on the 5 senses" ]

When you set a straw in the water, but don't put it in your mouth, the atmospheric pressure is pushing down on the surface of the water, but it's also pushing into the straw, and pressing down on the column of water inside the straw, so the forces are equal, and the water line in the straw stays level with the water line outside of the straw. When you put the straw in your mouth, and suck, you are using your tongue to lower the air pressure inside your mouth, which lowers the air pressure inside the tube of the straw.

[ "Exponential growth refers to when the rate of growth is related to how much of the thing there is. Consider money in the bank. You usually gain interest on it (e.g. 5%). That means the amount of money you get depends on how much money you have at that moment. If you have $1, then you get $1.00 \\* 5% = $0.05, for a total of $1.05. Since this increases the amount you have, the next time you get interest, you get more. And then more. And then more. If you were to put this in an equation, it would be this: Amount = 1.05^(time) So the first \"time\" it's 1.05^(1) = 1.05After the second \"time\" it's 1.05^(2) = 1.1025 And so forth. Becomes the \"time\" variable is an exponent, this is called \"exponential\" growth. This is compared to other growth rates where the amount or rate is fixed, such as with linear growth." ]

[ "Because of the refractory period. For men at least, once you orgasm, you enter a refractory period that pretty much prevents it from happening again for a period. Because your testicles can only produce so much semen at a time, the body has a natural limit on how much it will let you release in a short amount of time. Otherwise, although rare, you could potentially hurt yourself by overdoing more than your body can produce. So your penile tract essentially tenses up to an extent sorta like when you clench your anus shut. This prevents you from cumming again too soon. But the tension also makes it more difficult to urinate as well, because your body is still tensing up the muscles there and blocking the path. You have to either wait it out or try to relax your body yourself to untense and allow yourself to pee. Some people are better at it than others. And some people don't even have a refractory period which is why some guys can cum multiple times. Although it is possible to have a refractory period normally and still cum more than once during a period of extreme sexual sensation. As far as women go, i couldn't speak for that one as I'm not a woman. Women can have multiple orgasms and I'm not sure if they have any trouble urinating after sex or not so." ]

[ "I’m not an economist but basically it has to do with supply and demand. These two factors are always more or less balanced. If you pump currency into the market it’s value will drop. Think of it this way. You have a basket of apples that you want to trade. Each apple is worth one orange. All of the sudden the farm next door starts supplying more apples then they used to. They’re willing to trade two apples for one orange. You used to be able to get an orange for each apple but now, because there’s more supply, you can only get half as many because people can just go trade next door decreasing the demand. Now imagine that the apples are currency (the oranges can still be oranges). This is called inflation. It’s the increase of prices and fall of purchasing power. If the government decided to print money to pay off their debts they would flood the market with currency and crash its value. Different governments have different regulatory bodies monitoring their currency and trying to manage debt, inflation, and purchasing power but it’s not an exact science so everyone is basically just doing the best they can. TLDR: All in all it’s a very complicated system but the short answer is: the more money you print the less it’s worth." ]

[ "The box fan must be vibrating at the perfect frequency to pick up and amplify the radio frequency. It's a process called demodulation I wanted to add some to this now that I have some time. The radio waves that are in the air all around us are made of two parts, the signal wave and carrier wave. The signal wave contains the information, in the case of radio that would be the sounds you hear. The carrier wave is what we call the channel take the channel 91.4 FM which is broadcast on 91.4 megahertz. That means it is vibrating at 91 million times per second. A radio works by vibrating at the same rate as the signal. Once the receiver in the radio is vibrating at 91.4 Mhz it can then \"read\" the signal wave. FM (frequency modulation) is pretty tricky compared to AM (amplitude modulation) so more than likely your fan is picking up an AM signal. Edit: got some free time and decided to add some information. I'm no expert but I've learned about radio waves and demodulation in an industrial electronics course." ]

[ "Because the boneyard itself is effectively a spare part repository for other planes that are still active; if you have 100 planes and only need 50, using the other 50 as spare parts donors is more cost effective than selling them off (either as intact planes or as scrap metal) and then trying to use the cash to pay for custom replacement parts as you go. Not to mention that striking aircraft from inventory, arranging their sale, and transporting them out of the country to a buyer is a lot more hassle than just parking them in the desert, pulling out all the consumables (fuel, ammunition, batteries, etc), and covering the sensitive bits in plastic. Additionally, a lot of airframes moved to the boneyard have the potential to be re-activated for significantly cheaper than what it would cost to build a new one, especially if the aircraft itself is out of production. Getting a company to set up a production line, train employees, etc., can be psychotically expensive, especially if you're not going to buy a lot of planes. As u/Witty-User_name mentioned, there are also treaty demands, particularly when it comes to nuclear non-proliferation treaties and demonstrating compliance to those treaties. You take your nuke delivery vehicle, smash the crap out of the structurally critical components, and leave it out where people can see. They can still act as spare parts donors, but are past salvage for reactivation themselves." ]

[ "Few Reasons - Taken from previous [thread]( URL_0 ) - Leonardo Da Vinci painted it. He is the foremost Renaissance artist. Artist's credibility adds to the paintings popularity. - Napoleon Bonaparte hung the painting in his master bedroom in 1800. This - I think - was the first tipping point of making the painting one of the most popular paintings in the world. - 1804, Mona Lisa is hung in the Louvre - and others can now glimpse at the painting that Napoleon slept with. - But the real tipping point for the paintings popularity only hit in August of 1911 - when Mona Lisa is stolen. Stolen from heavily secured Louvre which experts said was impossible. No one knows who stole it or how. Conspiracy theories abound. The painting is talked about in every newspaper. - After 2 weeks of much fan fare, Police arrest Guillaume Apollinaire on suspicion of theft. He is the only person they have arrested. Apollinaire implicates Pablo Picasso. The rumor of Picasso stealing the Mona Lisa adds in a lot more fuel in making Mona Lisa very very popular. - Picasso is questioned and released. Guillaume Apollinaire himself is released after 5 days. Everyone is still clueless as to who stole the painting. But conspiracy theories abound. - Two years after the theft, the Mona Lisa is finally found when an employee working at Louvre tries to sell it to an art gallery in Florence for $100,000. - When the Mona Lisa is returned to the Louvre, it draws massive crowds. People visit the Louvre only to see this one painting. - And then it hit the Paris Hilton effect. Its popularity added to its popularity. So much so that most people don't know why it is popular in the first place." ]

[ "Infinity is not like regular numbers and doesn't follow the rules of arithmetic. Also, we aren't really saying 0/∞, instead it is the limit of 0/x as x approaches ∞. It is a subtle but important distinction. Finally, NaN is not a mathematical thing, it is a design consideration included with the IEEE standard of floating point arithmetic, which is what most computers and calculators follow. 0/∞ = 0 because every limit that reduces to 0/∞ will converge to zero. This is not true for 0 x ∞, it can approach 0, ∞ or any number in between. For example: f(x) = 1/x; g(x) = x lim f(x) x- > ∞ = 0; lim g(x) x- > ∞ = ∞ However, lim f(x) * g(x) x- > ∞ = 1 Therefore, 0 * ∞ = 1, right? h(x) = 2x lim f(x) * h(x) = 2 Therefore, 0 * ∞ = 2, and 1 = 2? This shows both why 0 * ∞ = NaN and why you can't treat infinity like an ordinary number. BTW, you were able to find the obelus(÷) but not the lemniscate(∞)? :)" ]

[ "Very simple ELI5 answer: Imagine that part of the file contains the string \"abbbbbbcd\". You could compress that to a6bcd. 9 characters down to 5. A 45% reduction. By using such techniques you can make a file shorter for download, and then the installation process expands it again. Another technique: If you have a picture of the sky, there are probably 500+ different shades of blue in there. By reducing that to 100, say, you need fewer bits and bytes to store details of the colour of each pixel. Which again saves space. Note the difference between these 2 techniques though. The first is known as lossless, because once you uncompress the file there is no loss of data. The second technique, known as lossy compression, results in a permanent downgrading of the quality of the image file. Which might become apparent if you wanted to print a really large version of it, or zoom in closely to the sky. You'd see that the area was a bit more blocky than before. & #x200B; One more point. Sometimes a 10 GB download doesn't actually contain the full 15GB of data, whether compressed or not. For example, you might download a program which, on installation, starts by creating a large empty database that will be used to hold data that doesn't yet exist. The code required to create a large empty database is tiny." ]

[ "Loads of things. Take, for example, a taxi. Taxis charge a certain amount of money for every mile you go, plus some initial fee. We can write this as P=r•D+c, where P is the total price, r is the rate per mile, D is the distance, and c is the initial cost. We can then plot a graph of P against D and work out how the price changes as you go along. Now, say there is another taxi firm that charges a different rate and initial cost. You could plot *that* one on the same graph, and see which is cheaper for a given distance, or work out at what point they are equal. This is perhaps a silly example, but there are so many things that use linear equations. If you're going at a constant speed, then distance vs time is linear. Or a constant acceleration, speed vs time is linear. The amount of force to stretch a spring to a given distance is linear. And these are just a few things." ]

Most commonly, this damage takes the form of cell death from molecular destabilization, or (particularly if the radioactive particles hit cell nuclei) genetic mutations (as the name implies, the atoms hit by ionizing radiation gain an electrical charge. This can cause chemical bonds to break down, or the molecules that make up the DNA sequence to change and/or be misinterpreted). Non-ionizing radiation does not pass through the body, and does not cause molecular destabilization. Upon hitting tissue, their energy is converted into heat. Mostly, these forms of radiation cause localized or superficial tissue damage. Since common forms of non-ionizing radiation are light and UV rays, the sunburn is the best way to imagine this kind of damage." ]
