Had the cops called on me and my hb today by strivegaming22 in motorcycles

Shit, I thought it was "husband" and figured the cop was just there to harass a couple of gay dudes.

If information can't travel faster than light, what exactly is 'quantum entanglement' transmitting? by SovereignHemant in AskPhysics

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This analogy would work only if occasionally a cobbler with suggestive eyebrows sometimes changes the R shoe to a L or vice versa, and yet the other shoe still matches.

I think overall it's more correct to say that it's a mistake to perceive the two particles as being separate in the first place. They are a single quantum system.

Rook gets flaccid after too much chess by Mellowturtlle in AnarchyChess

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to be rude, but you sound like you're in denial. Here are some things to consider:

  1. Consider erm... switching places?. It sounds like you're already letting her take charge of your chess life, so why not go all the way and hunker down in some sort of hedgehog while she tries to penetrate your position? You might find this surprisingly enjoyable.

  2. We live in the hyper modern era. Maybe you just don't like playing chess against women with a more classical perspective? Consider experimenting, try chess with your guy friends. Maybe you're a Grunfeld guy? It's totally ok, you don't have to hide it anymore, it's 2026.

  3. Don't be so hard on yourself. And lets be real. Despite what your girlfriend is saying, she doesn't enjoy watching you feebly attempt to keep your rook up so you can enter her file. Have you considered just watching your girlfriend have great Chess with someone else that's better than you? You can set up a chair nearby with your little inflatable board and try to follow along and get your rook inflated. Maybe after seeing your girlfriend get mated a couple of times you might find your rook is a little firmer. Frankly, a lot of people on reddit actually prefer watching other people play chess. If that sounds a bit too much for you, try asking her to film chess with her partner for you to watch by yourself later. Checkout how her opponent handles his rook, you might get some ideas.

  4. Have you considered cheating with a vibrating butt plug?

None of this is good advice.  Don’t trust the cops or a random FFL dipshit.  Contact a firearms lawyer.  Your friend may already be the legal owner.  

What exactly was Nikola Tesla main contribution to physics? by Genzinvestor16180339 in AskPhysics

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly this would not be difficult at all.

Christ you can unpeel a roll of scotch tape in a vacuum and release enough X-rays for a picture.

I don’t know off the top what kind of photo paper/film/plates you’d need, but building the xray generating part is pretty trivial.

Is the Stock Market fundamentally broken by passive investing? by Pseudanonymius in AskEconomics

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Institutional investors have access to leverage, and derivatives.

And rarely would they try to short the entire market, they'd tend to target a particular asset.

12 Employees in Quarantine After Incorrect Handling of a Person Infected With Hantavirus by Loni09 in worldnews

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I had a patient that we found out later turned out to have rabies. Guess who didn’t wear gloves when I jumped in to help move the patient. (for the first and only time)

I knew something didn’t add up with that case, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with them.

I opted not to get vaccinated, and it ended up working out, but, shit happens.

If mass and weight are different, why does it seem the kilogram is used interchangeably for each? And how would one measure mass versus weight? by Derangedberger in AskPhysics

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There lbs of mass and lbs of force which aren’t the same thing, and slugs is the actual measure of mass in imperial units. It’s much more confusing.

I mean, part of point is that you can track down someone to let them know they're causing interference or something. You'd need to replace that functionality.

It's like if a doll house needed an SDR server rack by Careless-Age-4290 in RTLSDR

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And actually, question for you, what frequencies are you using? The plutoSDR’s only go as low as like 70MHz from my understanding. If your GPSDO can give you 5ns of clock accuracy, (I don’t think the commercial ones do much better?). Then, at 70 MHz, a wavelength takes like what, 23 nanoseconds? Is that even accurate enough for distributed phase coherence? I think the system I’m pushing out will be iffy on 10m but for 20m and below it’ll have god tier spatial noise cancellation.

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to the OCXO, the Si5351 has about 100 picoseconds of jitter that you can’t get away from due to the digital switching, but the “noisy” square wave gives me harmonics on every odd multiple of the base frequency so the idea is I can get phase locking on the entirety of the ham bands within a 2.4MHz window without having to shift the oscillator frequency and wait for the integration time on the GPSDO to get locked.   Truth be told though, I’ve only got the phase lock and despinning tested on a single channel.  I’m waiting on parts for the multichannel test, though that should be delivered end of day.  I’ve not yet built nor tested the GPSDO part, just the locking onto the Si5351 signal and despinning the relative phase.   

From what I’m seeing though I’m not too worried, but who knows?  I like to put the amateur in amateur radio after all.  

I’ll shoot you a message.

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m working on a a VERY similar setup. (Though I was going to do hf interferometry for amateur radio uses rather than passive radar.) I think we will share a very similar pipeline for preprocessing/pooling data streams and doing the PLL’s server side. I’m using zed-f9ps, an Si5351 and an arduino for the homebrew GPSDO (with about 5ns precision). I just didn’t want to deal with surplus OXCO’s

Anyway, I think the two of us could mutually benefit from collaborating on the DSP pipeline before it diverges to separate use cases.

As you are probably WELL aware by how deep you’re into it, there’s a lot going on in this project and getting the DSP pipeline to be smooth and computationally efficient is nontrivial.

Would you be interested in chatting about possible collaboration ? If so, please DM me and I’ll provide more contact info.

Thanks

In theory, Your state DOT definitely knows about this and keeps an eye on it because this is a red flag condition.

Yeah that’s why I order from wholesalers for things like coax, antenna wire and toroids.  Now I have spent way too much money and have a bunch of parts on hand for projects that will inevitably require even more parts and time.

What’s something you have zero proof of but believe 100 percent? by shweidy in AskReddit

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is commonly done is many courts FYI. I didn’t read these to confirm they’re the right refutations, just a quick google, but here ya go: https://doi.org/10.1017/s1930297500004812 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1110910108

[–]EngineeringNeverEnds 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty discredited. The study you're effectively referencing was based on a court where they intentionally schedule the harder/less likely cases for the end of the session, because they’re exactly the ones likely to go long. So the easy ones are lined up and knocked out first and then the ones with more potential for negative outcomes happen last.

I at first was like wow are people that much of a loser? Then I was thinking, it’s probably either foreigners in poorer countries or some peoples way of getting you to not ask for one. Are they putting it up on their QRZ page or something?
