   There are a bunch of canyons up the eastern sierra that have great fall color https://californiafallcolor.com/map/

   I've used satellite imagery to plan trips to see fall colors, you can see big stands of aspen changing colors but usually there are enough people out taking photos that you dont need it and the high enough resolution photos lack suffic

   Then you are sleeping on rocks/dirt with just a thin tent fabric. At the very least most people use some closed cell foam.

   I use my phone for navigation and camera. I also use it to read before bed. The powerbank recharges the phone on multiday trips. The powerbank can also charge satellite communication devices and headlamps when needed. This is pretty common

   My ultralight gear has been sufficiently durable for my backpacking and hiking, even off trail. I'm not hunting or repairing trails but stuff lasts a while. The only exception I've found is inflatable pads which get punctured but

   This depends on the source of the raw materials, the green is typically from iron and you can have higher purity soda lime glass that is much more clear. I didn't realize there was a visible blue tint in consumer borosilicate glass, I

   I'm surprised that there is enough difference between borosilicate glass and soda lime glass refractive index. They are also both slightly mis-matched to mineral oil but I guess good enough for a visual check. Appears its not consisten

   Can you make unmanned hydrogen filled versions?

   Not always, it can find stuff that is otherwise difficult for me and search engines have become much worse than 15-20 years ago.

    The best option in busier places is a privy/outhouse that gets emptied, sometimes by pack mule or helicopter. Sometimes these have amazing views, like the one near here: 52°16'13.7"N 125°57'22.4"W

    Aren't there better uses for the treated water than this? Can't you use it instead of desalinating salt water? Or just run this treated water through the same RO and you won't produce any brine and the result will be just as

    Yah, lots of neat line scan camera applications in spectroscopy. Basically any grating application. 950nm would be on the edge of where you'd implement a Si CCD for OCT as the sensitivity drops as the Si is no longer absorbing. InGaAs

    I thought those stores are basically hobbies for the wealthy local commercial landowners that own the building(s). They may anecdotally also be money laundering. They don't need to actually be a profitable business. The only cost to ru

    We should buy a bunch of candles and monitor them and determine the Allan variance.

    Small nitpick and they got it right in the next sentence but "3D X-ray topographical scanner" should be tomographic not topographic. X-ray topography is something else unrelated.

    I tried to use this material for some optical lab instrument fixtures around 10 years ago when I was a postdoc but the tolerances were quite poor and you needed to machine to final dimensions so it didn't end up making sense compared t

    If you are reasonably above ambient and the control loop is well tuned things work well, unless you are significantly perturbing the system frequently.

    typically only used if you need to stabilize the temp very close to room temperature or cool it below, unusual choice otherwise compared to a heater.

    They are inefficient and dump a bunch of additional heat into the heatsink that you need to get rid of.

    Agreed, there are some cars under 25k, however for some of these its difficult to find a dealer with a base model, they all have a bunch of "useless" upgrades that you won't want that inflate the price. I'd be curious if

    If you want AWD a crosstrek or impreza are good little hatchbacks, ignore the "cross" in the name, its much more hatchback than it is a mini-SUV. It is sad that so many of the other little hatchbacks are gone (ex. fit, vibe, etc).

    This is pretty common for websites to just re-post the university press releases. When my papers got media coverage this was widespread, only a few places would write their own copy.
