When I was growing up, there were whole communities of people praying constantly. Now Cristine’s prayers are organized and focused on specific issues. I can see her

I bought this Arducam MIPI camera for the Raspberry Pi. It is 4672*3496 and the best that anyone seems to have gotten is 1 frame every 10 seconds. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W6LTFZC. I think it needs a $200 computer, not a $100 one. And some assembler or C programming. But then look at the time lapses posted by

Electrical tests! | 2 Mechanical Battery by Black Sahara at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiOf_-0aFP8 I like what you are doing or I would not comment. Please get a stand for your camera. Learn to solder. Learn to use sound card oscilloscopes and spreadsheets. Keep up the great work!! Thanks for the videos!! Put a “support” “donate” button somewhere.

Hello, I was working on atmospheric composition and asked google methane pubchem molecular weight It came up with 20.067 which traces to https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/2H4_Methane Now I am tired, but carbon is 12.011 and hydrogen is 1.008*4, so the total should be closer to 16.011 Is this page supposed to be deuterated? 12.011 + 2*4.0282035557 = 20.067407

Karl, Here are some notes on broken links and bad practices. I put notes on my search for climate models. I do these rough searches to get started on a complete review of a topic group on the Internet. Picking a hard enough problem at global scale is the only way to stay organized and

Related: A desktop photo scanner can get 6400 dots per inch over 8.5*11 inches. That is 3.82976 GigaPixels with 32 bit colors. See also: PetaPixelProject.com with many 10 to 100 GigaPixel images. They use “Atlas Browser Based Viewer” that seems to work. I am not recommending it, just noting they seem to be able to

UND Atmospheric Sciences – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVvaJnSsri0 No numbers? No radar correlations? No models? No satellite correlations? No corrections for sun angle and lighting? No temperatures or pressures or wind speeds? No science? I expected more from “Atmospheric Sciences”. At least put two cameras and do a little 3D estimation. Frame to frame correlations and velocities? Estimate

360° tour: ATLAS Experiment – Inside CERN’s largest detector! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On1WbLKP8DA Dear Atlas at Cern: There are two purposes for a video like this. One is to simulate what physical visitors do and see if they ever have a chance to visit. You show the parking lot, door, elevator, tunnels, and things. You show things from
