Drunemeton , to Asklemmy in That erratic pulsating sensation on your legs after a brisk walk- what is it? And more questions
@Drunemeton@lemmy.world avatar

On leg day do you stretch first, then lift? On walking day do you stretch as well? If that’s “Yes” and “No” try the same warmup on walking day.

Do you have different shoes you wear for each type of activity? Shouldn’t be shock/impact stressors, but if so try wearing the same pair for walking to see if that helps.

Do you have the same drinking pattern during both? Just because you’re not sweating during your waking doesn’t mean that you’re using up fluids. Especially if you’re outside in a much warmer environment vs. inside a moist, humid gym.

Doesn’t sound like blood clots nor (shin) splints, as those are deeper. Nor does it sound like allergies, as that’d be on the skin, from say your laundry detergent, or any grooming lotions and potions.

Ha ha ha!

Well…

We both saw the photo in the article. It’s a big photo, and they had to enlarge the teeny tiny spot this galaxy was in, then blow it up and actually add an arrow to point it out.

Seems pretty wee to me!

“A redshift of one corresponds to a distance of more than 10 billion light-years. JWST’s studies showed that JADES-GS-z14-0 has a redshift of 14.32, the highest ever recorded.”

Wow!

“Usually gases like oxygen show up only after large groups of stars have lived their lives and died in supernova explosions,” Hainline says. “So seeing oxygen in a galaxy this young is like if you are an anthropologist and you find an enormous, ancient city that has evidence of iPhones.”

That just boggles the mind!

Can’t wait to get more data on this wee, spry, bizarre find.

Drunemeton , to Space in What space object do you find the most interesting?
@Drunemeton@lemmy.world avatar

The “force” keeping particles together are other particles! With their own quantum fields even.

Drunemeton , to Space in What space object do you find the most interesting?
@Drunemeton@lemmy.world avatar

Black Holes are infinitely fascinating!

They’re ’a thing’ we knew nothing about until Einstein wrote a paper, and even though his own math showed their existence, he doubted that they could be real.

Turns out that they are, and that they form the structure of the entire universe.

That’s my object.

My favorite thing is Quantum Field Theory! You know the field of magnetism, you played with it as a kid when you got your hands on two magnets the first time.

Turns out every particle in the standard model has its own field, and an excitation of that field manifests as that type of particle.

David Tong explains it masterfully: https://youtu.be/zNVQfWC_evg

EDIT: Both links above are 1+ hours each, and done in layperson terms. No degree needed, just a desire to learn something fascinating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przybylski%27s_Star

“Przybylski's observations indicated unusually low amounts of iron and nickel in the star's spectrum, but higher amounts of unusual elements such as strontiumholmiumniobiumscandiumyttriumcaesiumneodymiumpraseodymiumthoriumytterbium, and uranium. In fact, at first Przybylski doubted that iron was present in the spectrum at all. Modern work shows that the iron group elements are somewhat below normal in abundance, but it is clear that the lanthanides and other exotic elements are highly over-abundant.”

The reminds me of the line on, “In Living Color” that got the show banned from our house:

I like my friends like I like my coffee: Black & Bitter!”

Does that exactly the same sentence in the first two paragraphs indicate an AI writer?

I stopped reading at that point.

Drunemeton , to Technology in To be fair, I'd try a bacon ice cream
@Drunemeton@lemmy.world avatar

There’s a place in town that has Belgian Bacon Waffles, and you’re correct they’re divine!

I love getting an order, plain, and a side of warmed maple syrup, then ripping them into dunk-able pieces. I make a mess, but they’re so good that way. Hot, crispy, crunchy, bacon-y, sweet, salty, smoky, delicious.

@Drunemeton@lemmy.world avatar

I live in CA. Most foodservice places are hiring! In-N-Out is offering $23/hr and still can’t find enough staff.
