Look how long their fancy straws are! I bet they keep chemicals a safe distance away from possible ingestion!

CouncilOfFriends,

I’m wondering if a crazy straw was tested…for safety

fckreddit, in RATS!

While humans studying rats is routine, rats studying humans is definitely novel.

JackGreenEarth,

Well, it was a theme in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so not entirely novel.

I’d argue it’s a literary novel. Maybe several.

eestileib, in Vortex me daddy

I’ve done time in biotech and in applied physics, and damn the gear over in the APh labs is cool as fuck.

I want an optics table for mini gaming.

I want a device that cools itself to -76F, evacuates itself to intergalactic pressures, then heats up a coil hot enough to vaporize gold for…

Well, I’ll find a use for it anyway.

Tar_alcaran,

I want an optics table for mini gaming.

A highschool lens-and-prism set is like 30-40 bucks on aliexpress, including a triple laserpointer. Not quite an optics table, but I’m assuming you don’t do your tabletop gaming with orange goggles and/or actual half-molten minis?

eestileib,

I plan on counting fringes to evaluate distances for my 40K sessions.

And yes, we use a welding laser to stimulate radiation damage.

How to math:

  1. Be expected to somehow already know 50,000 trigonometric identities
  2. Cry
threelonmusketeers,

Be expected to somehow already know 50,000 trigonometric identities

But you can derive the other 49,994 from a half-dozen key ones though.

emergencyfood, in No, the natural log doesn’t distribute!!

Sometimes, two wrongs do make a right.

realChem, in No, the natural log doesn’t distribute!!

The strong law of small numbers strikes again!

EmoDuck, in How many?

Bullshit.

Hydrogen atoms per water molecules: 2

Stars in the solar system: Sol, Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Timberlake, possibly even more…

ThrowawayPermanente, in How many?

God damn it

critical, in How many?

At least twice as much!

porkins, in How many?

That took me too long.

4am, in How many?

Did they read “a mole” and misinterpret it as “molecule” when writing the headline?

Aurenkin, in Super easy, barely an inconvenience

Underestimating complexity is tight!

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski, in I call it spooky science

Interestingly, when Newton published his Universal Gravitation theory, it was considered as spooky as quantum physics is nowadays. It broke away with the Mechanical philosophy of the day that saw the natural world as a series of direct cause-effect interactions. Even Newton disliked the implications of UG and tried to make them for, unsuccessfully, into Mechanical philosophy.

jadero, in Thermal Energy Intuition

Is there a site that does a variety of energy comparisons

gronjo45, in Who needs GitHub when you can just email the author?

Well given that I remember my professors barely knew how to code when they were the ones teaching us, I’m never surprised computational papers are like this…

That’s what you get when people never learn alternatives to MacOS or Windows
