Putnam's Sons, 1914), p. 489: The claim of Demosthenes to be ranked among the heroic men of the past rests above all on the constancy and sincerity with which he defended the noblest cause known to the...
I was taken aback by the description âQUANTUM DRYâ but then I remembered Chapter 40 of the Feynman Lectures on Physics on the topic of The Flow of Dry Water, by which is meant the flow of a fluid with zero viscosity (i.e. inviscid flow).

photo cred: my dadI owe an apology to every English teacher I ever had. I always assumed that so-called âgreatâ literature was a hoax, a punishment inflicted upon adolescents for the crime of being young.

Eight years ago I posted Optical Media Durability and discovered: Surprisingly, I'm getting good data from CD-Rs more than 14 years old, and from DVD-Rs nearly 12 years old. Your mileage may vary. Here are the subsequent annual updates: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 It is time once again for the mind-numbing...

You know how sometimes you see the measurements of a notebooks and think, âOh, I know what size that isâ and just order it? Yeah, thatâs what happened to me when I ordered the Kobeha Graphilo Notebook â Style â 8.3âł x 4.7âł â Blank ($34 or $0.36 per page, ). The Graphilo pictured with a standard Navy Travelerâs...
The Marsh Pearl or Anania perlucidalis to those who prefer their taxonomy with a Greco-Latin twist and a side of taxonomic musical chairs. Formerly dubbed the Fenland Pearl (a name that proved far too geographically localised), this modest little grass moth (Crambidae) is living proof that nature loves to rewrite...
