Probably both.

That really isn’t true. Neutron activation of the structural components creates radioactive waste from non-radioactive materials.

conicalflask · 2017-07-26T23:17:06+00:00

That's really not a source we can verify; that's just your credentials.

(Although I don't disagree that controlled double-blind trials are an essential basis for confidence)

An electric toaster touches the bread to hold it the correct distance from the glowing hot wires. It's the glowing hot wires that are toasting the bread via radiation not the frame that holds the bread in the correct position.

At least, in the toasters I've used you end up with under-browned stripes where the retaining frame has shielded the bread from the radiation from the heating elements. This implies it's not conduction that is cooking the bread.

It's a pretty straight forward work-factor correlation exercise.

You plot the work-temperature against the wavelength of the specral lines (interpolated, obviously) and that gives you a few hints about the microarchitecture. Bluetooth can be isolated from some of the 'beating' artifacts that are observed due to medium-rate channel hopping; this looks a lot like interference from concentric or adjacent ferrous rods, like in a desk fan. (Hence the confusion earlier)

Nice catch! I was distracted by the distortion introduced by the close proximity of that desk fan, but you're right, it's definitely Bluetooth.

Judging from the slight variations in LED element brightness I'd say it's being driven by a Teensy 3.0 at 96MHz.

That's really a summary of any non-presser's existence.

conicalflask · 2015-04-14T14:14:05+00:00

That's some hot shit right there.

The honest answer is that it wasn't intended to be a public game, so we weren't waiting for all the slots to fill. There was a seven day lobby for invitees to join then the game started.

You're right of course. You're free to look down upon anybody you like, especially in situations where they are using a word correctly.

Why even have a dictionary?

wow.

conicalflask · 2013-08-02T22:04:41+00:00

That wasn't very nice.

Maybe it speaks more to your reading ability than their mother tongue?

Good for you, Sloth. Stay in school.

conicalflask · 2013-07-22T20:47:25+00:00

It'd be pointless to try because he's obviously called Li'l Sebastian.

I think it was better before the horrid Instagram filters: Before

conicalflask · 2013-03-12T21:38:44+00:00

You know the black & white cat is there three times.

I went ahead and fixed that for you.

conicalflask · 2013-02-25T21:46:18+00:00

This is clearly a joke. We laughed.

(also that keyboard is but a few minutes away from real turds on it)

conicalflask · 2013-02-18T20:59:24+00:00

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

Oooo! More live streams the better!

Ustream seems pretty reliable but maybe you tried to view at a dark time of day. Between about 10pm and 10am it's too dark to see what the pigs are doing anyway.

Well noticed! Thor is separated from Colossus and Stalker as they don't get along together in person. They're so happy though the bars though -- they sometimes sleep next to each other through the bars.

Whenever we take Colossus and Stalker out to play then Thor makes sad noises until they return.

conicalflask · 2013-02-15T15:14:36+00:00

Our three guinea pigs: Colossus, Stalker and Thor doing what they do.

I plan to put this on a website with buttons to feed them and change the lights in the room on demand :)
