Bugs, not in close proximity to me, so I don’t mind so much. Apparently many of them are attracted to or otherwise like to hang out on graph paper. I had no idea…
Much like Google Maps in that there are areas that are not mapped in great detail, and others where you can zoom all the way in (it shouldn’t be all that hard to guess that this correlates with interesting features in the night sky). No “street view” feature, yet.
My soft drinks are trying to kill me.
Not really an experiment, just an event from a little while back. Soda (or pop, depending on where you live) bottle of the 2L variety, that was sitting on top of the fridge, where it was a few degrees above room temp. I heard a muffled “boom” from the computer room, and found this, along with most of 2L of soda all over the fridge and floor. It’s generally agreed that these bottle can usually withstand upwards of 100 psi, with some empirical data from people using such bottles for water-rocket fun. So I’m pretty sure I either had me a defective bottle, or it was rigged in a botched assassination attempt.
