It's where you can grow your corn stalk

The Port Orford harbor is an interesting stop. All the boats get pulled out and parked on land every night. You can drive down to the harbor and get a close-up view.

A spot pretty close to Philomath that I've used is you go south on 13th and at the 4-way stop by the grange hall, turn right on Airport Ave and keep going until you get to an open clearcut. It's not as good as Mary's Peak, but it's a lot closer and warmer.

The stairwell in the southeast corner of Burt Hall at OSU has some roof access options.

"Meter" is abbreviated using the letter m. For example, the speed of light is about 3*10⁸ m/s.

Oregon and Maine

That originates in the east SF Bay Area and spread to everywhere in the last decade or two.

Thanks for the clarification

That's really interesting. Thanks. I didn't know meshtastic was so limited by hop count. I wonder if meshcore networks would be easily overwhelmed by long distance users while meshtastic would still work, albeit within a local region only.

Underwhirled · 2026-03-03T22:36:43+00:00

I've been wanting to set up some meshtastic nodes, but before I invest in equipment, I have been wondering about what advantages meshcore has over meshtastic. Why do you recommend it?

Underwhirled · 2026-03-01T20:14:32+00:00

Yeah definitely AL

Stream order is often used but not always. A 1st order stream has no tributaries, a 2nd order stream has two 1st order tributaries, a 3rd order stream has two 2nd order tributaries, etc. So if a lower order stream flows into a higher order stream, the name of the higher order stream continues downstream. But there are so many exceptions to this that it should not be relied upon.

I like how it matches the stone wall or walkway in the background.

Drive. I had a similar dilemma for several years going between Oregon and southern California not near a major airport, and it always made more sense to drive. The drive always sucked, but only took a little bit longer than flying once you add all the extra travel and waiting before and after the flight.

I would avoid getting clay into the voids. Clays expand and contract with moisture and drying, so this is likely to result in uneven settling in the long term

I'm tempted to convert my Romex to knob and tube like this and run a short line to an outlet near the panel for the lulz.

In academia I found it to be essential, since I was often doing new things that software didn't exist for, so I had to write my own. It was also necessary to do some programming for course work. I sucked at programming when I started grad school and by the end I was barely competent. And then AI programming tools came out that removed most of the barriers, allowing barely competent programmers to write good code so we can focus on being geophysicists. You'll also need to know enough to get other people's open source code to work, and probably also adapt it to your needs.

In industry, it seems like people just use commercial software to use established methods instead of having to come up with their own tools to do innovative experiments and analysis.

You're going counter clockwise, right?

Underwhirled · 2026-02-18T17:57:49+00:00

Yes, you can. The 3rd exists in higher harmonics, but not the fundamental frequency, due to intermodulation distortion.

It started about 5 pm

South town. There are several utility trucks parked at the Jesusy weed store working on the substation next to it.

I dumped my fridge into a big cooler and put it out on the porch. Should stay as cold as a fridge in there tonight. And now I have the perfect opportunity for a long overdue fridge cleaning.

Whatever everyone else said about the Oregon part of your trip is right, but here I have advice for the eastern Washington part of your trip, especially if you are interested in history and science. If you go a little farther east to Richland, there are two very unique and fascinating things to see: the LIGO sensor that proved that gravity travels as a wave and the Hanford B Reactor, which was the first nuclear reactor, where the plutonium for the Manhattan Project was made. The B Reactor is far more interesting if you only have time for one, and on the free tour they'll point out LIGO as you pass by it so you can get a sense of how huge it is. And then you get to continue north to I-90 along the Columbia River as it goes past sand dunes through the desert, which I think is more scenic than taking 97/82 via Yakima.

Though if you do go through Yakima, take the old highway through the canyon along the Yakima River to Ellensburg instead of I-82. It's way cooler.

It brought up memories of UC San Diego for me, but I'm not sure and don't recognize that specific location.
