<egg> certainly holds at ANBO
<egg> bofh: can this be used to turn ephemerides into meteorological predictions and vice versa?
<UmbralRaptor> Partially, and no, respectively.

<egg> bofh: ANBO electricity update: we were wondering how the 16 A fuse on phase 1+2 managed not to blow given that 2/3 of the hot plate + the oven, microwave oven, fridge, coffee machine, etc. were on it
<egg> bofh: then while making breakfast this morning, phase 2 was lost, followed by phase 1 (both used 15 A lead fusible wire installed last week-end)
<egg> bofh: turns out that phase 1+2 did indeed have a 16 A pre-cut fuse, but it also had a second stacked on top :D
<egg> bofh: and the breaker is 30 A :-p
<egg> bofh: we reloaded the phase 1 and 2 fuse holders with 25 A pre-cut fuses, which seems a lot saner (in particular there are 20 A fuses downstream in the kitchen)
<egg> cc whitequark for fuses in parallel
<whitequark> !tell awang poke me about flux
<Qboid> whitequark: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.

<egg> whitequark: how are the cats btw
<egg> also any news from your eleggtrical installation?
<whitequark> we gave away the gray kitten
<whitequark> the котяchrome kitten is okay
<whitequark> dunno what котя is up to
<egg> so now you have котя, the котяchrome kitten, and порошок ci-devant эта хуйня?
<whitequark> порошок will be given away too because printer is moving to CZ
<whitequark> котя probably stays here
<whitequark> not sure what happens to котяchrome kitten
<egg> I guess котя can take care of her?
<whitequark> lol no
<whitequark> котя is an extremely bad mother
<egg> whitequark: how so?
<whitequark> doesn't care about her spawn at all
<whitequark> actively pushes responsibility onto us
<egg> whitequark: also do you have any котяpics or kittenpics? bofh tells me you had a recording of котя meowing
<whitequark> like. she would literally bring us kittens so we'd do something with them because she dgaf
<egg> haha
<egg> why bother when you can hand them to a kittensitter
<pthag> i burnt my left ring finger on a fried egg this morning
<pthag> ur fault
<pthag> wait no, left middle finger
<bofh> egg: ROFL they connected fusible wire in parallel or?
<egg> bofh: stacked two 16 A
<egg> bofh: well, pre-cut fuses for that kind of fuse holder, not manually-wound wire
<egg> bofh: resulting in a ~32 A fusible, which was protected by the breaker :D
<egg> (except when we put a fuse back on phase 2 = 1, which blew both, at which point we saw "16 A" and assumed that it should be replaced by something similar)
<bofh> ahhhhhhhhhhhhh that explains disturbing amounts.
<egg> yes

<UmbralRaptor> "172 years of not finding a planet with astrometry" most amusing title in a while.
egg|phone|egg has joined #kspacademia
<UmbralRaptor> bofh: do chemistry conferences do things like http://nexsci.caltech.edu/workshop/2018/agenda.shtml where a bunch of the talks have slides posted, and some are even recorded?
<UmbralRaptor> (Or same question at egg and mathematics)
<egg|phone|egg> I don't know I only did a master's degree, didn't go to conferences
<bofh> UmbralRaptor: slides posted is common (if not on the conference site then on the prof's page), recording the talk highly depends on venue (but is rare except for like keynotes and at specific places).

<UmbralRaptor> egg: obviously this means that bofh will be a catgirl exploring the ice giants.
<APlayer> So, I've just had a stupid idea, and now I have an even more stupid question. I took a hair, put it in a laser beam and looked at the projection. What I got was a strong focused dot from the laser beam, and two diffraction spikes perpendicular to the hair, on either side. However, the spikes themselves were dotted, like the thing you see in the double slit experiment. What am I missing?
<UmbralRaptor> Airy disks? (well, not eggsactly, but the same phenomenon)
Qboid was kicked from #kspacademia by *status [You have been disconnected from the IRC server]
Qboid has joined #kspacademia
<hillexed> Is the circular hair cross-section reflecting part of the beam somehow?
<APlayer> Actually, I can reproduce with a thin metal wire, but the dotting is much more frequent then.
<APlayer> "thin" as in 0.6 mm diameter, as per calliper.
<APlayer> I am trying to set this up in falstad, but I can't get it to work
