Theoretical physicists unveil one of the most ubiquitous and elusive concepts in chemistry
This is truly interesting and even a little surprising. We did not have a real quantum definition for oxidation states. I also recall that fifty years ago that we did not understand the cell wall. Sometimes truly fundamental issues can remain unresolved while progress still advances along other channels. This can likely allow another series of advances. Perhaps we can start a real theoretical investigation of some basic ions toward predicting marginal reactions that may be valuable. all good. *Theoretical physicists unveil one of the most ubiquitous and elusive concepts ...more »

Love for bureaucracy and non-solutions to non-existent problems with quantum mechanics
Mr Q wrote something that is said often – in numerous variations: I think that a good question remains: What observable will be measured when you set a given experimental device? If we knew the answer, all questions regarding this theme become nonsensical. He promises us to eliminate all doubts and problems if we help him to add some extra structure to quantum mechanics: We need a recipe that tells us "what is measured" if we insert the information about the "experimental device". This will surely bring an unprecedented clarity to everything. But will it? (adsbygoogle = window.adsby... more »
Why the Glock 18 Might Just Be the Gun That Can't Be Beat
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * All of the reasons. *The Glock 18 is dimensionally very similar to the Glock 17, with only a handful of differences. One difference is the presence of a turret-shaped selector switch on the right rear side of the slide. Turned clockwise up, the Glock fires in semi-automatic mode, and each pull of the trigger fires a single round. In this mode the Glock 18 is indistinguishable from the Glock 17 in operation.* In December 2003, soldiers of the U.S. Special Operations Command captured the Ace of Spades himself, Saddam Hussein.

The Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Compact: The Gun You Can't Overlook
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * We can tell you all about it. One of the most useful things to have in firearms training is a handgun with the look and feel of a full-sized pistol while chambered for the low recoil .22 caliber round. The Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Compact pistol is nearly identical to a full-sized M&P Compact but significantly lighter and easier to shoot. The 22 Compact also stands on its own as a pistol for camping, target shooting, and even home defense. Introduced in 2005, Smith & Wesson’s “Military & Police’ line of handguns was an evolution of the company’s Sigma (... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* One of my many pet peeves about people is one that that Donnie Jackass has in spades; the desire and ability to make any historical event or factoid of interest all about himself. Such people can't help themselves. They will turn the conversation on any topic into something about themselves and do it in an instant, in a dozen words or less. It's more than ego. It's also a reflection of deep, deep insecurity.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive… To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not even regard as disease is to be put on a level with those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

Stealth Strike! How America's F-117 Stealth Fighters Went to War for the First Time
*Dario Leone* *Security, * The history. The Lockheed F-117 was developed in response to a U.S. Air Force (USAF) request for an aircraft capable of attacking high value targets without being detected by enemy radar. By the 1970s, new materials and techniques allowed engineers to design an aircraft with radar-evading or “stealth” qualities. The result was the F-117A, the world’s first operational stealth aircraft. The first F-117A flew on June 18, 1981, and the first F-117A unit, the 4450th Tactical Group (renamed the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing in October 1989), achieved initial ... more »
