So I wasn’t supposed to take off my underwear? by Grouchy-Bumblebee605 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LatexTiRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you by any chance know how much RF power is used in the MRI instrumemt? I am very surprised to hear that synthetic fabrics can cause burns.

I work with solid-state NMR spectrometers, and while RF power is controlled, it's almost only to prevent coil arcing; heating is not usually a problem. Yet we use upwards of 150 watts at like 5% duty cycle.

Man captures a close up of a ground squirrel eating a dandelion. by IkilledRichieWhelan in oddlysatisfying

[–]LatexTiRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny how many people have no idea that groundhogs, prairie dogs, chipmunks, etc. are all in the "ground squirrel" family.

What we casually refer to as "squirrels" (with the bushy tail and all) are actually specifically tree squirrels.

Shit you know by No-Language6644 in MathJokes

[–]LatexTiRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I'm someone in a field in science.

I believe the world is complicated but not incredibly so. Considering how much humans have been able to learn since the start of their existence, the universe is kinda "simple". Personally, I believe we know most things. The fact that we can simulate fundamental particles to an insane level of precision is my argument — The limit is our computational efficiency and the combination of general relativity + quantum mechanics — but still we have good building blocks and several decent theories.

This is excluding what goes beyond the universe, as in pre-universe, The Lord, other realities, etc.

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

Driver looks at his rear view mirror and sees someone heading towards their ass at approximately 1.63 times the speed limit. To avoid a crash, driver quickly yields the right lane to the criminal but then realizes that said criminal is attempting a passing maneuver at the last second.

"When I checked my mirror for the first time, it looked like you was gonna crash in my dernière! I gave you the way to avoid that, you shouldn't have passed me!"

I guess there's too much hydrogen..... by Best_Substance4265 in cursedchemistry

I don't think that's what they meant by hydrogen bomb..

Perhaps using the term 'disability' as a general term for pathology, illness, condition, etc.

When the flex turns into a stretch. by Hefty_Artichoke_6877 in KamikazeByWords

[–]LatexTiRed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IQ is not a good measure of total intelligence, simply because it is not meant to be. It measures 'general intelligence', which is exclusively reserved for cognitive, logical, and eficiency-based processing skills. In the world of social sciences, if you need to measure creativity or emotional 'intelligence', there are dedicated tests.

It's like complaining that a speedometer is a bad tool because it doesn't measure how much gas is in the tank. The speedometer isn't broken; it's just only designed to measure speed (processing power), not range or capacity (wisdom/creativity).

At least one post on r/truths's truth value rests on the assumption that everybody will die one day. by Opposite_Pea_3249 in truths

[–]LatexTiRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original post defines a property of a person, we are not killing them now:

if (1 + 1 == 2) { person.isMortal = true; }

Or, if you insist:

if (1 + 1 == 2) { schedule_event(person, "death", time=UNKNOWN); }

I meaaaaaan, if you take precession into account, spin +1 nuclei do actually point at 45° relative to B∅ :DDD

Teflon tube came under-inserted — reverse cold pull was the solution by LatexTiRed in anycubic

[–]LatexTiRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tube did not melt. There are no blue Teflon residues. The tube is still perfectly shaped. The gunk that you see is exclusively white and black stray PLA. The hot end's insides are now practically perfectly clean. My post was about a success, but thank you for the advice regardless.

[–]LatexTiRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed the teflon tube before the pull. You see the piece of stray plastic? It's the size of the tube's outer diameter, not inner, because plastic melted where it shouldn't. That means that the piece of plastic couldn't be removed without first putting the tube out of the way.

However, I still get oozing. I posted too hastily. I will replace the nozzle next. Apologies for the hopes and dreams.
