My PI has 2 walls covered in cork board in the hall outside our meeting room. Every paper we publish gets pinned there. It is the "Profesional" equivalent of getting your report card put on the fridge, we have a whole pinning ceremony and everything.

Someone who understands. I have never seen a recipe call for x cloves that wasn't infinitely better with 5x cloves.

No better way for Doc to start his career in MIL than with a loss to the Nuggets. Poetic that the Nuggets own both MIL and their coach!

Don't worry about Roundup causing cancer, ~~a washed up former greenpeace hack turned shill suckling at the teat of companies responsible for the declining state of the world~~ Patrick Moore assured me that it is non dangerous. It is even perfectly safe to drink a quart of it!

Just noticed that you chose the nicest kernel size. Even better.

Ah, you're right, I haven't taken Stat. Mech. in almost 5 years so my brain just latched on to the general form. Analysis in frequency space is always fun

Oh fuck yeah

Another nice way one could preserve the complex data when visualizing it would be to make a 3d color mesh and display the imaginary components as the height in z and the real component as the color scale (or vice-versa).

Edit* now I am trying to think if there would be a clever way to show the abs, Re and Im values in one 3d plot, but drawing a blank. Maybe tie Im to the alpha value to make the transparency change as the imaginary component goes up and down? It would just require mapping the set of all numbers from -inf:inf to 0:1, which is doable in a 1-1 transformation iirc since they both have cardinality C. I think it would be

alpha = 1 - 1/(1-e^{Im(z)})

Which looks a lot like the equation for Bose-Einstein statistics in Stat. Mech. I was never very good at complex analysis or group theory though, so I don't really know what to make of that.

Apply a nice gaussian kernel convolution to the fft and smooth that doodle out! Lets get blurry up in this doodle party!

My table's necromancer has a homebrew staff formerly belonging to a mummy-priest that allows him to cast destroy water, and it becomes an at will spell if used on a corpes to mummify it. The demon lord of drought and the patron of mummifcation demands it.

It allows for convenient storage and transport of the corpses he ...procures...

So in my DND campaign setting, I had planned on black powder being a pretty recent discovery, called flashsand by the country who discovered it. One of my players wanted to be a gunslinger, so we worked out that he would have the first gun, built by his father who had to hide from the military to keep it out of the wrong hands. He wanted a revolver and to be a proto-desperado type, and I frankly didn't want to litigate logistics with a first-time player. I had been having a tough time squaring the circle between "first gun" and "revolver" but this is a perfect middleground!
