What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

I'm guessing that there is a blower involved?

It doesn’t take forever. I can get a 20mm bar to forge temp in about two minutes. I can spare the time.

And the 2400 is for the workpiece, assuming my pyrometer isn’t lying to me.

It is not that hot.

If it were - striking it with a hammer would be awfully exciting - as you would only be 100 degrees or so from melting - and in my experience you can't get that kind of heat out of straight propane....

I suspect you’re right - 2400 for the piece seemed awfully high. Anyroad, after two minutes, it’s the right colour and forgeable.

Nope. Not yet, at least.

What I know today I didn’t know yesterday? Well, few things:

- Matter actually has six states—solid, liquid, gas, and ionized plasma. Fifth and sixth states come from the following:

- Particles, whether elementary (electrons) or composite (protons, neutron etc) are divided into two fundamental categories—fermions and bosons. Why? Because when we measure fermions spin or angular momentum we always get values that are quantized in half integer values of Plank’s constant —eg. +-1/2, +-3/2.

Bosons on the other hand have whole integer values —eg. 0,+-1, +-2.

There is not a single particle that we know of making up our reality that doesn’t follow this rule.

- Pauli’s exclusion principle which states that not two fermions can occupy exact same quantum state as on another.

- Combining the above give us two more states of matter under certain lab conditions: Bose-Einstein Condensates and Fermionic Condensates.

Cool! Have you been studying physics for a while?

Lookee this- Some States of Matter

Yeh a little bit here and there.

The USofA is more of a third world country than I thought possible.

Until about an hour ago, I had assumed that the standard tuning of the tenor ukulele was similar to its soprano and concert cousins, but with the G string down an octave. Then, Dad got a tenor Uke in the mail and found that it was tuned with the high G. Then I discovered that the High G tenor Uke was a lot more common than I thought, to the point where D’Addario’s tenor Uke sets presuppose a High G tuning.

Meaning that of the four major members of the ukulele family, three (the soprano, concert, and tenor) have THE EXACT SAME TUNING. I can’t help but think that’s not how instrument families are supposed to work.

I learned that preventative introduction of a salt water environment to freshwater cultivars amounted to a 7.8ish usd increase in average (potential)productivity per unit of fry. More than the difference between successful and failed operations, and more than the difference between capitalized niche markets and mass prod. Clay substrates and media hold dissolved salts over useful periods phenomenally well.

I'm trying to get into eku's landlocked marine shrimp program next year. The biofloc model is super interesting. Mostly because, as A Florida Man, the idea that I have to pay usurous prices for water cockroach assaults my sense of human propriety. While the prices are set by productive lateral space they'll always be needlessly high, while the amount of vertical space remaining to us is, effectively, inexhaustible. Stack water bugs, solve the protein problem.

(and again, as A Florida Man..I strongly believe that bacon wrapped shrimp is a staple food)
