Doer of cool stuff sometimes. I enjoy scuba, backpacking, red teaming, and reverse engineering. Occasionally also radiation science, time science and EMS.

@Scearpo Yeah I tried this once a long time ago the flavors do not really mix it doesn’t taste like a peanut butter coke it just tastes like a coke with soggy peanuts in it
English
This just tastes like peanuts and Coca Cola. I cannot believe you retards fooled the Japanese and therefore me into trying this.

What’s that dried powder? It’s NIST’s domestic sludge SRM. Each bottle contains 40 grams of dried, pulverized domestic sludge. Scientists use the SRM to verify their measurements and calibrate their tests for detecting heavy metals (like lead) in their sludge samples.

@jumpmedic @KMBK_ARKADIA Would love the recipe thank you! I'm a big biscuits and gravy fan
English
@KMBK_ARKADIA And here are the biscuits. I can send you the recipe if you like. It was my grandmother’s recipe and the cast iron pan they’re in was hers also.

@PatrickHeizer NIST also maintains the National Time Service/Internet Time Service, which are how "radio controlled atomic clocks" get their time! The radio station in Ft. Collins CO (WWV/B) broadcasts HF time to the entire US. The internet time service also serves time to the entire planet :)

The NIST is a national treasure; we need more of everything they're working on.
In addition to the stone wall test, they:
-produced the standard peanut butter
-actively manage and study a free-roaming deer herd on campus
-invented a "quantum logic clock" that is 37x more accurate than the old international standard
-are already working on post-quantum cryptography
-have a clone of Issac Newton's apple on campus
-operate one of the largest neutron research labs in the world
-helped redefine the kilogram in 2019
Plus dozens and dozens of other projects.

Just learned that I work less than a mile from the longest-running stone weathering experiment: NIST's stone wall test. Built in 1948, it includes 2352 samples of stone from 47 US states and 16 countries, and uses two types of mortar.

@PatrickHeizer @szetoinsitu It is nearly back online! Worth mentioning it is not your average research reactor, it is one of only a few remaining HEU reactors in the US and it creates cold neutrons for experiments, imaging and other purposes.

@szetoinsitu Claude says yes, though it was shut down from '21-'24 due to a safety incident, corrections, and restart authorization.

We are “berry” excited to announce our new reference material: RM 0401 – Jelly.
We know the importance of preserving standards, so it is time to spread the news. Join us in raising a toast to our new jelly reference material.

@the_engi_nerd from a lowbie, this is a refreshing perspective, thanks for sharing it
English
I could say anything I wanted, smart or stupid, and no one cared
Now I can post something I know about deeply and have PhDs and journalists call me stupid (they are wrong), or have guys with 96 IQs and a gambling problem call me stupid (no u). Or maybe a joke that gets misunderstood by hundreds of thousands of people and get called a moron by angry people across the world
HIGH PLANES Drifter@the_engi_nerd
@taxi_1_wire I miss being a lowbie

background check cleared so unpriv for now. DCSA said I was a "national security threat" and that "an in-person interview was required" so I think they really liked me
English
@IVPvideos I got two of these (it looks like a pachislot machine) for $80 each two years ago. They're super fun and absolutely worth it especially if it comes with the key. You can convert them to use quarters too

“stop posting that it’s classified” it’s really not babes

oft I am reminded of the time that someone got mad at me for posting a publicly-available image of a W88 warhead that is hosted on Wikipedia

@gorilla_rape @ParkDerekS Any sufficiently motivated individual can make a GPS jammer
GNSS receivers capable of getting position fixes using multiple satellite constellations aren’t hard to come by either

China pulse 🇨🇳@Eng_china5
The crew of a Chinese ship revealed that vessels near the Strait of Hormuz are suffering from a complete loss of GPS signals, and even their onboard clocks are running at extremely high speeds. Only Chinese ships have remained unaffected thanks to the BeiDou satellite navigation technology.

@justalexoki ask them what a simile is and you'll find out real quick

You could talk to two people, one with a 144iq and the other with 93, literally all day and not know which one is which

@ParkDerekS @cobaltspike @gorilla_rape Either that or we’re creating mini black holes distorting the fabric of time and space
