@DotRook "the weekend" is at the beginning and end of the week

because US.

still better than whoever decided to use periods as a place separator though (1.000 instead of 1,000)

CPU coolers are something else. Stop game, CPU temp drops 20c in 15 seconds. o.O

Yes it's not making heat, but even taking an inert bit of metal down that fast is impressive as hell. Side effect of needing to cool something that's a couple inches wide and sucking down 70-120 watts I suppose.

He was also a bit of a shithead in general but well

whatever your personal dickery, it's hard exceed the bad idea quotient of planning to use a gigaton bomb as a *primer*.

It's hard to overstate how much of a mad engineer Edward Teller was. A bunch of the other scientists involved in nuclear testing has second thoughts. Teller? Decides H-bombs weren't enough

Teller broached “the possibility of much bigger bangs.”

.. two new weapon designs, Gnomon and Sundial. Gnomon would be 1,000 megatons and would be used to set off Sundial, which would be 10,000 megatons.

@garrwolfdog Bookreads should be that but tends to get poisoned by dipshiterry.

Meaning fan stuff like AO3 ends up far more organized. which is kind of hilarious

~She's our daughter from the future
and she stole my time machine
guess that's proves she's pretty clever
you can blame it on good genes~

Seanan McGuire makes the strangest catchy as fuck lyrics :D

@BoozyBadger having looked up the song at least it's not as fucked up as I expected?

@Soreth *petting*

@garrwolfdog Probably dead yup. poke it around sunset. If it doesn't move just scrap it off and toss it outside as a snack for your local birds

(if it's been parasitzed it might explode into grubs when you poke it so maybe use a jar)

@mmsword As long as it isn't Passover, this would probably work well. Looks like some India-area traditions might have issues with lentils though.

Bored evening thought: If you have a gathering where among the participants is every single variation on religious or cultural food restriction, does there exist a single dish everyone can eat?

(ignoring for the moment "x religion can't eat with y" and the like- just the food itself)

@Niko Trans people have been eligible for the Olympics and many other sporting events for decades. if there's an issue it would have appeared by now.

Trans dudes are of course a non issue, but get banned anyway. Same with intersex athletes.

@Soreth @anthracite this :)

Accidental dog comedy:

Soreth gave Parker a rawhide for dinner, then came in to say hi before heading out to game.

Parker believes we must be SUPERVISED when interacting. He also apparently believes in eating his bone in private.

Result? He charged down the hall with his bone, eyed us, then turned around and went back down the hall. Repeat 5x as the indecision over which priority to follow continued. :D

Installing Windows and all my stuff, and I forgot how gross the Internet feels sans adblocker these days.

@mcc I found someone's thesis on Agps which breaks down the signal structure if you really wanted to dive down the rabbit hole..

https://scholar.colorado.edu/downloads/fx719m772

@mcc Sure, but a precision that much smaller than resolution seems kind of overkill.

https://www.gps.gov/applications/timing/

" This enables users to determine the time to within 100 billionths of a second, without the cost of owning and operating atomic clocks. "

that's not just precision.

1.5 is apparently used in the time of week signal. Which is apparently separate..and yeah might work as the heartbeat signal

@mcc https://www.gps.gov/applications/timing/ claims 100 nanosecond accuracy, other sources claim less. The 1.5s number isn't sourced, I suspect it's a particular*receivers* limit ? Each satellite might transmit in 6 second intervals but you normally have a fix on at least three.
