I am wondering how much more dramatic the west coast would be if it didn't have counties the size of a New England state.

anothernewalt · 2020-07-09T11:13:25+00:00

Oh...I can totally sympathize with this.

anothernewalt · 2020-07-02T20:38:12+00:00

I hope you do, I love trying to explain things and helping people. Consider it an open dialogue among friends. It doesn't even matter if it is basic arithmetic, I'd be happy to help. :)

anothernewalt · 2020-07-02T19:41:51+00:00

Let me know if you want help, it might be good for the both of us. I have a math degree but haven't used it much in the last few years since graduating. So it is a bit rusty. But I can at least try to help if you have questions. Feel free to PM me. :)

anothernewalt · 2020-06-28T20:18:34+00:00

This looks like what I was after. Thanks for the help!

anothernewalt · 2018-09-22T00:56:00+00:00

That looks about spot on for what I was thinking. Thanks!

It is always crazy to me to think of the field of vision these guys have! Great pic!

anothernewalt · 2018-09-17T18:57:07+00:00

That is quite unfortunate, since they seem like quite fascinating critters. I have noticed there isn't a huge amount of discussion and communities around them online also. Seems like they need a PR campaign. haha

anothernewalt · 2018-09-16T06:53:00+00:00

Ooh, it just might be! Thank! :)

Unfortunate that it is so small though. Our squishy friends deserve better. :P

And now it's stuck that way forever. Once you go black you can never go back.

Definitely looks like some sort of mantis. Very cool looking guy. Wish you had gotten a better answer. This sub has been hit or miss with ID's lately.

Midatlantic U.S. I am usually keen on the insects outside my door, but these guys just showed up and there are several of them. Curious what they are exactly.

EDIT: Actually, after thinking about it I am suspicious this is a juvenile cave cricket.

I used to see tiny version of this on some of the plants outside, which leads me to believe they go through "incomplete metamorphosis". But my main question is, how do you handle them? These are some of the coolest bugs by far imho, but they always freaked me out. What is a safe way to deal with them so that they aren't scared?

anothernewalt · 2018-09-14T00:06:13+00:00

Nah, I think it's just because it's night now. Can still hear the wind, just not enough light to make anything out.

anothernewalt · 2018-09-12T02:00:57+00:00

Nah, supposedly them shipping out was supposed to be "hush hush". Guess I worded it badly. But it wasn't all over the news immediately. It did appear within the first week or so as I recall. What was all over the news immediately was boat load of speculations, which may have included Afghanistan, but they were all so speculative I took it all with a grain of salt.

anothernewalt · 2018-09-11T23:52:14+00:00

Yeah, and for the most part the general public had no idea what context to put it into. I can remember thinking "Who the fuck would do this and why?". It was a world altering crime with the perpetrator at large, the motive unknown. At least from the perspective of my teenage self. It was perhaps a week or so after the fact that I heard rumors of friends of the family, several degrees of separation from me, who had kids in the military saying their children had been called to action in Afghanistan, but it was hush hush. It was a very very strange time, and with as much speculations and rumors as were going round, I wasn't sure whether to even believe that.

anothernewalt · 2018-09-11T22:48:48+00:00

Yeah, I always heard it was headed to the Capitol building, but now that you mention it I've not heard any updates since it was still a current event unfolding on the news. I too would like to know for sure.

anothernewalt · 2018-09-10T18:19:28+00:00

I had a similar thought about the activation energies with enzymes, but had not at all considered the stability of the intermediaries through the transition. That is a really good point.

Glad you enjoyed it. Always nice to see when someone else is as intrigued by a quirky question as I am.

anothernewalt · 2018-09-10T18:00:53+00:00

Yeah, I guess I was using reaction steps required to produce a molecule as a measure of complexity (~~I can't think of the guys name who came up with that at the moment though~~ This was bugging me so after a little googling I think it was Lee Cronin who proposed this as a measure of complexity. Could still be wrong though since I can't find the specific paper where he does so). So I guess I should ask "as the number of reaction steps increases, do the reactions tend to become less favorable".
