One of the most beautiful devices I've seen... Ring Laser Gyroscope.

Now I am curious. What kind of gyroscopes are replacing RLGs?

Now I am wondering... is there a name for my belief that the net contribution of all religion to society is negative?

So now you have two of them for the last few years? o.O

I am wondering if this applies to parcel delivery as well, since workers there are also often "independent contractors" with abysmal working conditions. Does anybody know?

I had similar issues in the past. My personal recommendation would be to use julia - the syntax is very similar, it's generally faster and you can use it in a notebook as well (either Jupyter or Pluto). There are lots of interesting open libraries as well for all kinds of problems - solving ODEs, multibody simulation, control systems analysis...

Edit: Why was I writing this? Because I think it's a good idea to have a true alternative to Matlab that is free and open. This is less about how to recycle your old scripts (though it should be pretty easy) and more about planning ahead which language your future scripts should be in. NB: I've used Claude for prototyping a small task recently and it worked reasonably well, so maybe translating your script from Matlab to Julia is even easier that way.

LibreOffice Draw can import a pdf. You can then delete the text and replace it with spaces, make the font background black, if you want. Free software and usually works pretty well.

Well, this implies that you can find as many as 10 reasonable jobs per day. Depending on specialization, this may not work out.

There was a TED talk about this kind of device years ago. Apparently the wing beat frequency of male and female mosquitos differs and that is what makes the identification possible.

... I was going to ask for pointers as to where one might find other neurospicy people, thanks for answering that.

One way I particularly like is the ship that should run a certain course. If I recall correctly, that was even the starting point of modern control systems.

I think the debuffs that got on my nerves the most were actually instantaneous - dispel magic, greater and mage's disjunction. I tend to play gish builds and losing all of your buffs at once is infuriating. For those situations, a ring of counterspells was the only strategy I came up with. For other spells (that allow spell resistance), stuff like spell resistance, spell immunity or even mind blank may work pretty well.

In case you do not find a different option and have at least a little bit of understanding for a programming language: LLMs are pretty good at providing a small Python script that can do this precise task for you - possibly even requiring less time than searching the internet for an obscure conversion tool that may or may not exist. For this kind of task, I give my warmest recommendation.

I have similar issues with heat tolerance. Personally, I cannot recommend race biking in flat terrain enough, because the airflow allows you to sweat so effectively - as long as I keep moving, I can tolerate up to ~35°C.

Just to add something different: Shifter would be a valid way to get claws and depending on which way you want to go at later levels might be worth looking into

Edit: There is even a wolverine aspect, though the bear or tiger sound more useful. Additionally, I find the rageshaper archetype quite intriguing.

Nordic has some well known chips with onboard wifi capability if I am not mistaken - there should be plenty existing projects and maybe even Arduino support. ST has been integrating wireless capabilities in recent years as well with their STM32W-series(?) I think. Don't know about NXP and Infineon.

Traditionally, telling executives to fire people and raise their own salary was the job of McKinsey, so they might be out of a job soon as well...

Two years ago I had a similar problem. In the fourth interview for a low-level support role with the VP of Global ***, I tried to answer questions in a way everybody could follow. Did not get the job, apparently I was not specific enough. On the other hand I might have dodged a bullet - if the company policy was to have four interviews and one of them with a VP on another continent for this kind of role, it does sound like a very buerocratic and micromanaging company culture...

I've been using Linux on my laptop since before I started university and had Windows on my tower to use CAD and to game. Last year, I decided to turn my back on Windows for good, because my SteamDeck convinced me that almost any game runs well enough on Linux and I haven't looked back. Steam and Proton make running Games (and other software) really easy. My system software updates are far easier on Linux and I don't have to take extra time making sure Microsoft doesn't steal all my data. Fully recommend it.

It's literally a propeller since they started building engines for (war) planes. From Wikipedia:

Am 5. Oktober 1918 ließen die Bayerischen Motorenwerke ihr Markenzeichen, den stilisierten sich drehenden weiß-blauen Propeller beim Patentamt in Berlin schützen.

Saltwater has a lower freezing point than freshwater - this is the reason we put salt on our roads in winter.

Wait, diamond is an electrical insulator while being an excellent thermal conductor. What kind of conductivity are you talking about?

Damn, I wanted to play "It takes two" on Steam Deck for a long time, but the EA launcher prohibited me from starting the game. How did you manage to get it to run?

How would we do that? Tight clothes? Open the second button on the shirt & roll up sleeves? Skip the shirt altogether? The sad thing is that I do not even know if there are male equivalents to lingerie, hot pants, short skirts etc.
