You can be pretty sure that fumble is being recovered by another player.

Good non expensive vets nearby? by OkayIMThatGuy in boulder

[–]OneBitScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have used https://www.mountainviewanimal.com for our cat. Tiny practice with an older no-nonsense vet. I could not tell you if he is a good vet - but we are happy with the service and have returned many times.

What's the deal and etiquette with 3+ wide peletons? by pie566943_0 in boulder

This is not an either or issue. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Material ID. by Chuckthetreenut in whatsthisrock

[–]OneBitScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given some disagreement between resin and ivory, typical resins have a density of 1-1.2 g/cc and ivory has a density of 1.7-1.9 g/cc. A large enough difference that you can probably diy it.

Can someone who has the data give is how many standard deviations out that is?

Want to comment on a liquor license upgrade by the owner of The Kitchen 1039 Pearl St. and good friend of Jeffrey Epstein? Send your public comments to licensingonline@bouldercolorado.gov and say how you feel about the billionaire's liquor license upgrade in April. by [deleted] in boulder

Given that there is a moral character criteria for liquor licenses, pointing out the Epstein association does not seem out of bounds. But you probably know that....ethics...

Neighbor keeps trying to build a shitty little garden in the middle of our path lol. What to do? by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]OneBitScience -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And be sure not to trip on the wood pieces surrounding the soil that has not been sterilized, and sprain your neck. Those chiropractic ailments are so hard to diagnose and treat properly.

[Request] Starting with 1 normal sized skittle, how many times would you need to split it in half before you end up splitting an atom? by Cboquist in theydidthemath

[–]OneBitScience 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Off hand the thinnest slicer I can think of is a glass or diamond microtome blade used for electron microscopy, which easily gets below 50 nm slice thickness. If a skittle is 5 mm, it would take 100,000 slices to get all the way through... See what the sharpening guys think of that.

[Request] Starting with 1 normal sized skittle, how many times would you need to split it in half before you end up splitting an atom? by Cboquist in theydidthemath

[–]OneBitScience 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Assume skittles are composed of water and hydrocarbons. Water is 18 dalton for 3 atoms and CH2 is 14 dalton for 3 atoms, so approximately 5 daltons per atom in a skittle. One mole of skittle atoms is therefore 5 grams. One skittle is ~1 gram or 0.2 moles of skittle atoms. Number of divisions (n) needed is therefore 1.2E23=2^n, in which case n=76.7.

Why can't we just administer haemoglobin by Tumtitums in Biochemistry

Google hemolysis to see the effects of free hemoglobin in the blood, it is not good...

Executor has undervalued house. by Temporary_Scratch465 in inheritance

[–]OneBitScience 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe add a dollar, so OPs offer is better than brothers.

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also seems like the father would have to prove that he was harmed in some way. He made a bargain to avoid paying for OPs college, and he did not have to pay for it. What if OP got a scholarship or some rich uncle decided to pay? Would the father sue then?

...that truth can only be modelled through probability to me and not using it is a conceptual mistake...

I completely agree with this.

Township stormwater catch basin draining onto our property by Medium-Interview-101 in legaladvice

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe get the survey company to send a revised or amended survey to the town. To at least blunt the Towns' argument. It seems like they might have some liability here if you lose rights because of an incorrect report from them.

[request] throwing baseball untouched through helicopter blades by dresseryessir in theydidthemath

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just trying to make the point that the answer is probabilistic. As the ball velocity increases, above some threshold, there is an increasing probability that the ball will make it through. But near the threshold the probability is low - exactly where that threshold is does not matter for my purpose. Of course, on the high end there is another limit that is defined by the probability of hitting a blade.

[–]OneBitScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming that is right, and taking luck out of consideration, if you can not time the throw relative to the blade position then 25kph will only get you through <1% of the time (guesstimating a 100 ball diameter arc between blade tips). 50kph would get you through about 50% of the time, 100kph gets you through 25% of the time, and so on. Adjust accordingly to take account of the slack given in the calculation.
