Wow you got you some markov chains, Monte Carlo, Gamma Radiation, what a fun dissertation. I especially liked the bit about how the NaI detector is not a sphere and sensitivity depends on incident angle. I would never have thought of that

If you are out in the woods and you come upon a roughly circular area of crushed down grass, that is a deer bed. Try and avoid walking through it, deer beds are full of ticks. The deer trails are a lot harder to avoid.

Yes. When I plug my phone into the car it used to use google assistant to process voice commands and it was pretty fast. Now for some reason it has switched to Gemini and it takes twice as long to play a song or send a text. Sometimes Ge

I would like to find a lighter exhaust system for my motorcycle, the stock system weighs like 30 pounds. All the aftermarket exhausts seem to be louder then stock. I want something that light and quiet but everyone else seems to want lou

Anyone who has done much hunting gets tired of carrying that heavy-ass rifle through the woods all day. A small reduction in the weight of your gear allows you to cover a lot more ground. The great thing about poison arrows is that they ca

My understanding is that whole grain flour is not very shelf stable, ie. you have to grind it and use it within a few days or starts to taste bad. White flour lasts years. A small flour mill is not that expensive, I wonder why more pla

I feel like if you are already getting IVF, then genetic selection of the best embryos is a no-brainer. I can't think of a better gift for a child then an extra standard deviation of height, IQ, strength.

I have noticed that men and women tend to use different emoji and ascribe different meaning to them. Ex. I see the skull emoji used to indicate laughter more often used by women and crying face used more by men. There are some tribes wher

One hazard of being a programmer is that sitting alone in a room alone with a computer for 10 years can turn you into a weird dude. Lately I have taken steps to re-learn how to be social. I am doing a lot of social dances, like Salsa, Sw

Ukraine's current drone consumption has been quoted at 9,000/day, or 270k/month. A million drones won't last long in a peer conflict. Most of the drone parts come from china. What we really need is to build our own

When I was child, our dog got hit by a car. The dog had two broken legs and was bleeding from the nose. My dad said, "Come with me son, I will show you what to do." So we went into the woods behind the house and dug a hole.

It used to be cool to be deviant and not to be accepted by society at large. Ravers, skaters, punk rockers, cross-dressers, all subcultures that did not care if they were accepted by the normies. Transgression of social norms was consider

When we were kids we used to catch wasps in a plastic cup, put them in the freezer until they were anesthetized, and then tie a little leash on them with sewing thread. Then you chase your friends around the neighborhood with your personal

I feel like half the time issues are caused by adding some stupid feature that nobody really wants, but makes it in anyways because the incentive is to add features, not make good software. People rarely react well if you tell them "

Bugs like to crawl into little holes like on the charging plug/car and can increase resistance enough to cause this issue. When I built a robot that had to plug/unplug things 1000s of times it had an air-gun to clean out the plugs

If you want simple get a motorcycle. Most do not even have a radio. I got an almost new BMW 310GS for $5k. Even at that price it has antilock brakes, slipper clutch, throttle-by-wire. Any idiot could ride this bike, and it gets 60-70MPG

"In 2022, Congress passed a law named after Daniel Anderl allowing judges to sue internet sites to take down identifying information." Everyone should be able to have their information taken down. Not just judges.
