The Dumbest Thing I've Read This Week II: Space Mirrors — physicsmatt
Mirrors in space are a dumb idea. Put that aside for a second. I want to talk about math, and how physicists use math. And why you need to be better at using math as part of your thought process...

Aside from the fact that this is an absolutely amazing shot from a pure photography view, just look at that beastie! (cue: in not fren, why fren shaped?)
I’ve mentioned before the gorgeous wildlife views from our kitchen sink, but this one takes the giddy biscuit. OH was sitting at the table just now (mid morning), looked up & saw this ten feet away. Holy shit!

There was something a little bit off about the Toyota Highlander parked across the street. A sunshade blocked the front glass, and were those garbage bags over the passenger windows? The side mirror dangled limply from a cable, and a roof rack (or maybe it was just a tarp covering an amorphous blob

Absolutely awesome thread! I feel a tad more edumicated.
Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19
At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/
