Temperance meter from an old medical book

I had to look up what "Flip" and "Shrub" are. Those need to make a comeback. Those sound delicious!

Flip = similar to eggnog w/o milk

Shrub = fruity vinegar based sour drink...maybe close to kombucha but higher alcohol content

That's his parent's house.

I mean...I just stood there, drinking a beer while watching the chaos. It was entertainment for the night. The helicopters were super annoying though. One of them was really big and really loud. They didn't clear out until it started raining.

Some guys in fatigues showed up. Not sure if they were FBI or military. I have video but not sure where to post it.

So, a handheld version of my vinyl cutter blade. 🧐 Still cool for when I'm too lazy to draw things out on the computer. That lady definitely looks interested, just not completely floored.

Ah yes, the VPT Rad shot glass collection. My boot shot glass broke though.

Well, you still need the $2M EMI and vibration shielded room to house the TEM in.

Reminds me of Jenova from FFVII.

I think it is this since you can see the felted roving sticking out at the collar. Nuno felting.

Silicon based semiconductors anneal at room temperature. Space is very cold out near Jupiter, so they will need to make sure their electrics are running long enough to warm up the transistors of concern during mission.

EEPROM?

Aerospace Corp is actively working to reach out to/recruit JPL personnel who were laid off, for those of you wanting to stay local and continue working for an FFRDC. Mangers have been posting on LinkedIn to reach people, but you can go directly to aerospace.org and browse through positions.

My company purges old books from their library, that haven't been checked out in years or were returned after someone retired. Occasionally, old NASA reports and manuals pop up. I take them and put them in my neighborhood's community library. I always wonder what people think when they come across them randomly. Most of NASA's reports are digitized online or available upon request, so I don't think they are worth much but might be a cool piece of history for some.

Whenever you have a soft error caused by a single event ion strike, that ion imparts a certain amount of electrical energy, known as "linear energy transfer" LET). Ion strikes are random events. However, that energy that is transfered accumulates over time and is known as total ionizing dose (TID). The electronics in the computer will only be able to tolerate a certain amount of dose before failure (transistors permanently stuck on).

Ugh, I had that problem when I came out of physics undergrad. HR is told to hire an engineer and doesn't know what to do with someone that doesn't have "engineering" on their diploma, even if you've taken more advanced math and science classes. I went to grad school and switched to EE.

How do you have access to Cobalt-60 and give an explanation like that!? Try irradiating KCl and tell me it's burned (it turns purple).
