I wonder if they can get sued for false claims. They claim to test every batch before bottling. And although there's a warning, their claims imply that the milk is free of pathogens.

I use it a few times a week, usually while at work. Normally to visit a dead link or to find old or outdated info.

I remember these. Tried them once and never again. It's a cool gimmick but pricey.

First paragraph is good. Second paragraph could be rephrased IMO.

Nah, just the basics is fine. I would recommend Griffith's and then moving on to Shankar.

It's also really important to remember that QM is really a formalized algebra of probability/stats, so it's really really important to get a good grasp of that. QFT and all that comes after understanding the basics. It's a fuck ton of work, but I think it's rewarding.

I'd really recommend going through the basics about learning QM. Specifically: classical mechanics, a very good stats & probability math course, calc prereqs, intro to QM, intro to thermal/stat physics, maybe an atomic course, intro chem course. I'm not sure of the exact steps, but as a physics undergrad major, it'll "click" after a certain amount of prereqs and if you need any help, feel free to PM me and I'll gladly be of assistance (as far as I can remember, at least).

Blocking the instance, as you've done, will filter LW from your feed. If you're using Sync, you can also filter it through the app.

Find an instance that is defederated from LW

[–] poopsmith 5 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Just block the instance?

Yep. I'm so over American politics and I think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. I feel that the people are powerless against changing our trajectory. I had been considering doing a PhD abroad and this is really pushing that decision now.

 

Anyone have any recs for a quiet and ideally cheap muffler?

My bike came with a Leo Vince X3 and it's a little too loud for me. Is the stock one the quietest?

Are Tetra Paks actually recycled? (self.nostupidquestions)

Assuming my municipality accepts it, are they actually being recycled?

I see them being touted as recyclable. However, it seems like it would be difficult and resource-intensive to recycle but I'm not a recycling expert.

Does anyone have any advice on routing some high speed signals on flex PCBs? I'm looking at jlcpcb because of the low cost but I'm having difficulty getting impedances to be decent.

My requirements are:

  • 45 ohm single ended impedance (maybe? Def doable)
  • 90 ohm differential impedance (usb spec)
  • 5A current on power pins

But if we look at the capabilities: https://jlcpcb.com/capabilities/flex-pcb-capabilities

  • 2 layer
  • substrate thickness (PI) = 25 um
  • 1 oz pour thickness = 35 um
  • min trace width/spacing = 4/4 mil = 0.101/0.101 mm
  • ε = 3.3

Is this feasible with this stackup? I'd like to do a 1 oz pour because of power traces, but there's also 0.5 oz (18um) and 0.33 oz (12um).

For the differential signals, when I'm doing impedance calculations, I can get to roughly 70 ohms using W=100um, S=200um. I don't think this is good enough. I think I can get away using a 0.33 oz pour but then I'm worried about the power pins.

And for the power traces, I'm needing 2.2mm, which is reasonable for the pins on a USB-C connector. But if I try using the 0.5 oz or 0.33 oz pour, it gets to be 4.2 mm and 6.3 mm, which seems impossible given the pins are tiny and very closely spaced together. Even with vias to the bottom layer, this seems problematic.

Anyone have any advice here? This is just for a hobby project, so I'm really not looking to change fabs because of costs.

I submitted a video request for any body worn video and in-car footage for the incident where SPD officer Anthony Belgarde pulled over a bus in West Seattle. But I was told by Edward Ocampo that no video existed for this incident. Is this a normal practice, to not record any video during a traffic stop?

Edit: I filed a complaint as I believe this violates 16.090-POL-2, where cops in uniform performing traffic stops are required to have their cameras on.

Edit 2: I did not get a confirmation email though.

Edit 3: had to email them again to get a complaint number

 

It might be back tomorrow if you missed it tonight!

 

I'm looking to try out i2p but I'm having trouble getting it going.

I have a docker-compose container going with this docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.5"
services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p
        ports:
            - 4444:4444
            - 127.0.0.1:6668:6668
            - 7657:7657
            - 54321:12345
            - 54321:12345/udp
        volumes:
            - ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
            - ./i2ptorrents:/i2psnark
        restart: always
        environment:
            - IP_ADDR=0.0.0.0
            - JVM_XMX=1024m

The container starts up and the log outputs:

$ docker logs i2p-i2p-1 
Starting I2P
[startapp] Running in container
[startapp] setting reachable IP to container IP 0.0.0.0
Starting I2P 2.4.0-0

But when I try to access the console, I'm seeing:

$ curl localhost:7657
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

Is there anything else that I need to do here?
