@Atom Well yes and no. I dont know the exact numbers but I suspect it accounts for maybe half of all beef production. Pretty much all beef from the midwest would fit in this category. Let me see if i can research and get some numbers...

Usually I hate people, but every once in a while a really good person shows up on my radar. Love this so much.

I am all about Professor Zvezdelina Stankova right now. Her lectures on mathematics are brilliant, easy to understand, and i love that smirk she always gets when she reveals a really intriguing proof. I hope I get to see her in person one day.

"rm -rf /" is the most versatile command you have. Some of the miracles it can perform simply by running it.

* gets all test coverage in any language to 100%

* Performs compression at an infinite compression ratio.

* Completely secures your system against hackers

* Reduces boot time to a fraction of a second

* Encrypts all your data using a completely fool proof algorithm that can never be cracked

* Completely protects your system against lost data in the future, if you ever loose a file just recreate it using a zero-fill and youll restore it perfectly!

I'd like to donate my corpse to science, when time comes, but on the other hand I'd hate to see the research done on me to be copyrighted by big journals and to be a part in this closed-source science progression.

I wonder if I can donate my body to science with a Creative Common license...

I had a novel (I think) realization about Euler Lines that I think may lead to a new proof WRT the circumcenter, orthocenter, and centroid.

The theory right now (which I tested with a crude simulation) is that if you take an equilateral 2d triangle and represent it in 3d space. Then draw a line perpendicular to the plane of the triangle and through its center. Then as you change perspective in the 3d space so that the angles of the triangle are distorted to appear to match some arbitrary triangle then the apparent orientation of the line will match the Euler Line as it would be drawn classically (in 2D).

So if i can represent the points as 3D values using complex numbers I think i can do some fancy math to calculate these points and the euler line in a novel new way.

I was reading the help files of a well-known commercial microwave FEA package and it suggested calculating characteristic impedance from the power and voltage rather than finding the current directly.

This way doesn't require surface normals or line integrals which my previous methods did, so it's probably better (easier to do anyway). I've added this into my TEM mode post - comphysblog.wordpress.com/2018

seems like the experiment of growing oyster mushrooms on simple recycled cardboard is going good, they are pinning easily... not sure how nutritious they'll come up to be though. Any idea on how the boost it?

Why do sunflowers use the Golden Ratio to define their seed arrangement? Good explanation:

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvelous day today!” The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful.

They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing.

Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.

The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
