I think he just remembered the password for his twitter account and posted an image.

Cern has produced quite some interesting systems for software and data management. I am sure the added value of the work is beyond just understanding particles.

Very nice pictures!

Seems like a beeple artwork. He makes a artwork post everyday for the last 6 years or so, often using the themes of daily conversation as a topic.

That crest is very characteristic of a goldcrest. I know of two sub species of gold crests, one has the yellow stripe the other a slightly orange stripe and body

This seems to me like the goldfinch, regulus regulus. Not the common firecrest , regulus ignicapilla.

My information sources is the Merlin Bird spotting app.

EDIT: the correct name is not goldfinch but goldcrest. As it is not in the finch family at all.

Honestly have no idea how far 100 miles is. 100 km however is not too bad.

Great username btw, would love to see AdamEatsAss post this on my corporate forum.

Its a mass produced bearing type. Most likely the cheapest option for both devices. Optimizing a bearing for a gerbil wheel seems like the real overengineering in my opinion.

I majored in physics, even living in a country with a ton of technology companies. There are only so many research labs, and only very few companies want dedicated physics people. Often they just want to run a mechanical simulation known as FEM, they hire mechanical engineers for it.

Also, physics is very broad. While companies are usually looking into a specific topic. If you didnt happen to stumble in the right area of physics you might not have valuable knowledge for a company. Often a Physics education is not even focused on deepening a specific topic, but more on how to solve complex problems. In my opinion that can be applied to many problems we face today, if given the chance.

Physics education is based on the idea of a renaissance man, one who knows how everything works. Companies simply don't care about that.

I get your point. But it is a good measurement of the price of food. Or the price of corporate greed.

As mentioned in the article, the numbers of elephants in botswana are growing. And the large number of elephants are causing problems with the human population. You need to do something with the situation.
