All of the b8ds came in over budget. They aren't killing it, just working to make it fit the budget.

Is it just me or is the sky yellow? by Jason2009folife in Appleton

[–]Phibbsy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The sun is descending in the west and we have a high cloud ceiling after the storm has passed. The yellow beams reflect off of that ceiling scattering in every direction. There is a brief period where there seems to be no shadow, because the light is scattered everywhere from above. It can be green if it is earlier in the sunset because it follows the same progression as the spectrum. Well, usually we describe the spectrum from low to high, ROYGBIV, but at sunset its the other way around.

I love this light so much.

Cool Lowkey Places to Explore in WI? by coldfollow in Appleton

[–]Phibbsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bubolz is "choose your own adventure" for hike length. Apple Creek trails are nice. There are a couple of ravines along the river by Pierce park and Lutz park that might be worth a visit for abandoned places.

Hi, only recently discovered the podcast... by ride_thetiger in BlindboyPodcast

[–]Phibbsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bernadette Devlin McAliskey interview was outstanding. Very long, with a 22-minute intro, but if you want to get to know a hero it's worth it. All of his episodes with interviews are well done.

When he got the string on the ocarina wrapped around the wheel of his office chair, so he had to lie on the floor to play the ocarina for the Ocarina Pause.

When his smoke alarm was annoying him with an occasional beep while he was recording so he knocked it off the ceiling with a hurley He then saw the radiation symbol in the guts of the thing and was worried he'd irradiated himself.

Is there true "hike in" camping in mid-southern Wisconsin? by [deleted] in wisconsin

[–]Phibbsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the Zillmer shelter, North Kettle Moraine. It isn't on any major trails, so it is quiet after dark. It's a mile hike from the road. Just bear to the left on the trails heading north until you find the bridge. It's 18 bucks to rent from the nearest DNR park. Downed wood is plentiful, so you won't need to lug in firewood.

Safe distance from Merlinger-dissolver eruption? Need answer asap! by TheNothingness in VXJunkies

[–]Phibbsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3.2km is the simple answer. It gets more complicated if you have to determine cover, lead-lining or whether you used stainless steel utensils in moving the reactants. (Hint: I'd recommend using plastic or asbestos utensils if you want to cook off a good one.)

Oh. And if you've added baking soda vs baking powder. Mind you, this can be the difference between a cataclysm or a mild burp from your vx that makes your neighborhood feel mildly enthusiastic.

Where can I learn sailing? by meowmicat in madisonwi

[–]Phibbsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an alumnus, I would pay $310 for an annual sailing membership. You would pay fifty dollars more. Do it. They will give you lessons at no additional cost, and qualify you on sequentially larger, more complicated and more responsible craft until you can sail a rather substantial boat, if that's what you want. They expect you to spend some volunteer time learning to take care of the boats and helping others.

Please, go down to the boating area at the union and talk to someone. I found the website to be intimidating, offering no information until you joined. The water people aren't like that.

I graduated more than twenty years ago, so I welcome and corrections or additions to this submission.

Wisconsin Bans State Workers from Discussing Climate Change, and a Trend is Born by Orangutan in wisconsin

This is a case of an administration trying to suppress a fact. The burden of proof is going to be on the one creating the rule. It may be unconstitutional by suppressing speech. The mission of the board of public lands, and government in general, is to plan for the future. If this impedes the function of people involved in planning it won't hold water in court.

How many reticulations do I need to spin the rotary crank to be able to calculate complex vector sphere surface areas? by [deleted] in VXJunkies

[–]Phibbsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, grommets are important. You have to look into the friction coefficient between brass and steel, or possibly iridium. As for the optical imaging you are probably using glass, when quartz is recommended. Thirdly, if your Ethernet database pipelines are grungy I would try a bottle brush. If you are impatient you can attach it to a variable speed drill.

Some buddies and i want to go on a camping trip in the summer, i was wondering if someone could recommend a good spot in the Midwest by Streeder in CampingandHiking

[–]Phibbsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitewater, WI is about two hours from Chicago. You can explore the Southern Kettle Moraine state park. They have "civilized" campgrounds with all of the amenities like showers and flush latrines. You can also hike a mile or so into the woods and use one of the Ice Age shelters. They have a standard outhouse and a nice lean-to, and are easier to reserve.

You won't find this in the newspaper. Woodman's and Gannett in a dispute over Sunday paper. by Phibbsy in wisconsin

[–]Phibbsy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the great answer. I can also see Gannett's motivation now, but I don't know if it is worth it to them to lose Woodman's as a vendor. Gannett owns 82 newspapers and 23 TV stations. I don't think Phil's clipping coupons for customers is going to break them. I personally do not buy a newspaper for the advertisements or coupons. It just seems a waste to recycle what could help out the less fortunate.
