A “Master Key”

CDs and DVDs have rainbow reflections because the “parallel” (parallel on the scale of the wavelength of light) rows of pits create a diffraction grating.

The rings in the picture are Newton’s Rings, as pointed out in comments. There are a different set of rings for each wavelength of light and since they don’t all line up you get this rainbow effect.

Military school. It’s like a boarding school with a strict discipline theme. Not the actual military.

Isn’t there a legal duty to mitigate damages? Letting someone get away with continued theft just to let the scale of the crime increase seems tantamount to consenting to the transfer of goods.

Edit: Oh man, spelling “incompetent” incorrectly there and getting everything else right deserves to be preserved.

I noticed that too and it’s a thing of beauty! There should be a special prize for that.

I support MAGA doing this exact process also. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and any corruption should be uncovered regardless of the party affiliation of the offender.

Democracy needs transparency and accountability to actually work.

I’ll just leave this here, because it’s so fascinating. Can you imagine a wave of molasses traveling at 35 mph?

Petroleum processing is a whole other level of stink. Every breath feels dangerous to take and not just unpleasant.

Are you Dutch? Historically, Dutch engineers have handled some pretty impressive mountainous civil engineering projects.

I can do this too, but I still use hearing protection because I’m not sure how well it it actually works at preventing damage

Two points of contention:

1. Hunting for sport isn’t ethical in any form. There’s no way to say that killing for fun is an ethical activity. Which is not to say that hunting is unethical, even if you have other sources of food available, as long as you (or somebody) are eating what you kill.
2. If you’re going to kill for food, it’s most ethical to do it in the most painless way possible. I would argue that this assertion makes hunting more ethical than most modern forms of farming. But making things more “sporting” isn’t ethical if you start using tools or methods that you’re not skilled with (and likely to wound or maim instead of cleanly killing). If you’re killing something to eat it, don’t torture and play with it, just kill it.

If Trump was a foreign asset, would he have done anything differently?
