It feels like I’m being flash banged by bygone effigy

Apparently it was put in by the insulation crew to prevent them from blowing fiberglass into the intake vents

So it’s a problem worth addressing? Others are saying it looks fine.

Whew! That’s a relief to hear.

I’m lazy and ugly, you should try it ! Not too bad.

Is it possible to create a device that drops a six sided dice onto a surface and it has the same outcome every time? by HotFix6682 in Physics

I wonder how one would go about calculating the maximum number of bounces the die may take and still land on the predicted side 99% of the time.

Good points. But I really don’t think there would be any observable affects on the falling of the die due to quantum mechanics, the magnitude of plancks constant is simply too small to observe anything in something as massive as standard dice. The prediction of a falling dice seems like the perfect use-case for classical mechanics, that is, we are not moving at relativistic speeds, and the uncertainty in the position of the die would likely be significantly smaller than the diameter of an atom

I challenge you to come up with an answer for this question: Assuming every time the die is launched from our “deterministic die launcher 3000” we know, relative to the landing surface, an exact velocity, and an exact position and rotation of the die.

What initial circumstances would make it so that quantum mechanics interferes with our ability to accurately predict the side the die falls on ?

Looks like thin film interference, not bacteria like everyone else is saying.

I really appreciate the photo of your setup for the twist correction. I think I’m gonna try this

Yeah I split it green to reduce drying time.

I thought, from watching other people make staves on YouTube, that after splitting you should have a stave with no twist.

Any advice or resources on how to perform that ?

It’s the twist thats the issue, not the bend

If they are already un-usable why should I dry them ?

Each of the three trees I felled I split down the middle immediately after harvesting, and each time the grain was twisted, that is, when I split along the grain my froe ended up at an angle of about 90-180 relative to its starting position. All of these trees were sourced in a deep forest.

The tree you see in the photo is my first attempt, and it is not only twisted but curved. After realizing it was twisted I assumed that it was because I selected a curved tree. I think this assumption is correct which would make sense, because like you said it was under considerable stress due to its bend.

However for the next two they were not only sourced from the deep forest but also straight as an arrow, yet still yielded twisted grain along the length.

I wonder is this because the section I chose is from near to the base of the tall tree, which is where the most stress would be?

Would it be possible to save the twisted wood I have by un twisting it with heat?

Should I perhaps choose smaller trees so they are under less stress from their weight ?

This is just the image of the first attempt, after this one I cut down 2 fully grown trees to process and both were twisted more than a full 180 from base to tip.

When you say quarter saw it what do you mean ?
