My favorite from this year: ...three tornadoes on the ground at once from one storm! Trevor

I'm a beer guy, prefer mostly imperial Russian stouts. The more it drinks like motor oil, the better. Yeti and Old Rasputin are a couple of my favorites. ...I live about five minutes from Avery brewing, and about 15 from Left Hand and Oskar Blues. That is a dangerous proposition. Trevor

It is somewhat concerning due to the track and strength... it seems like it will be able to just sort of munch up Florida's eastern side relatively unimpeded, continuously feeding off the warm ocean. I've been in touch with my friends who went down to intercept it, and so far I haven't heard...

It's looking like the landfall solution was the correct one. Going to be a rough night in central Florida! :eek: Trevor

I was interested in why on earth an empty tent city in Saudi Arabia even exists at all, and the first Google result answered my question. If you'd like a different source of roughly the same information, also free of opinion, here's Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mina,_Saudi_Arabia...

More info on your tent city, actually kind of interesting: Saudi Arabia Denies Syrian Refugees? : snopes.com Trevor

The Melbourne radar finally cooperated and I was able to run a dual-Doppler analysis on Matthew. As of 1:41 UTC, winds are ~108kts max aloft. Trevor

Several chaser friends of mine drove down from VA to intercept it. If I get any interesting photos back I'll post them! Radar indicated winds even 100 nautical miles out are over 100 knots - once it comes into better range of the Melbourne radar we should get an unprecedented dual-radar look at...

I'd love to go back and do a rewrite of this, but wrapping up grad school and having a full-time job has sort of killed that. If you do decide to make moves, let me know and I'll try to help in any way I can. If I could somehow stimulate the hobby LPM community a bit with some code or...

Had to confirm via the Rubicon source, but there's only two data packet types: d <POWER_IN_MILLIWATTS>\n sp <POWER_THRESHOLD> <TIME_IN_MS>\n The sp packet communicates with Peregrine to set up the same test on your PC as is set up on the LPM. The parameters it sends are in a menu on the...

I uploaded the most recent version of the source I have to my Google Drive... not sure how long this link will stay alive, but it'll at least work for you! This is untested... haven't messed with this in years. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9tFIXmZg9quWTZrb1ZIOTJQczQ/view?usp=sharing Trevor

You're absolutely wrong. What shall I use as proof? The Constitution of the Confederate States of America. From section 9: In the Confederacy, states were not allowed to pass any laws prohibiting slavery. To rephrase... North: The Federal Government prohibited states from having slavery...

I never put it on GitHub. I think I've got the latest version somewhere, I'll look for it! Trevor

The FDA regulate medical devices, so it makes sense to have the FDA handle lasers instead of creating another division to do it. Certainly makes more sense than the ATF or something. :p Trevor

I think you mean NIST? ;) RoHS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive Trevor

My old apartment had the access panel in the closet behind the bathtub detached for almost 7 months before we figured out that it was (1) like that and (2) where all the house centipedes were coming from. Not a big fan of them, but I did tend to relocate them instead of killing them. They're...

Gotta agree. Bluster and passion works well for current Trump supporters (see OP :p) but it doesn't do him any favors to win voters who are on the fence. I'm interested to see poll numbers throughout the week. Trevor

...impressive. Will wonders never cease! Trevor

Have an already picked an optic? A dichro that will do what you describe is a pretty tall order... 100% transmission and 100% reflection ~10-15nm apart. ...then again last time I actually paid attention to people doing multi-multi-multi-diode builds, all that was happening was PBS +...

From the diagram it looks like you're using a pair of PBS cubes to combine the two pairs of diodes. What optic are you using to combine those resulting beams? Trevor
