Open works have no coins and no ads.
#3027 Exclusion Principle Fermions are weird about each other in a standoffish way. Integer-spin particles are weird about each other in a 'stand uncomfortably close while talking' kind of way.
#3028 D Roll Under some circumstances, if you throw a D8 and then a D12 at an enemy, thanks to the D8's greater pointiness you actually have to roll a D12 and D8 respectively to determine damage.
#3029 Sun Avoidance C'mon, ESA Solar Orbiter team, just give the Parker probe a LITTLE nudge at aphelion. Crash it into the sun. Fulfill the dream of Icarus. It is your destiny.
#3030 Lasering Incidents I still don't know how the police found my compound where I ran an illegal searchlight depot/covert blimp airfield/fireworks testing range.
#3031 Time Capsule Instructions Inside is a third box, labeled DO NOT OPEN UNLESS YOU ARE IN THE TIME ZONE WHERE YOU OPENED BOTH PREVIOUS BOXES.
#3032 Skew-T Log-P The most important quantity for meteorologists is of course the product of latent pressure and temperostrophic enthalpy, though 'how nice the weather is' is a close second.
#3033 Origami Black Hole You may notice the first half of these instructions are similar to the instructions for a working nuclear fusion device. After the first few dozen steps, be sure to press down firmly and fold quickly to overcome fusion pressure.
#3034 Features of Adulthood I don't dig pit traps and cover them with sticks and a thin layer of leaves nearly as much as I expected; I find a chance to do it barely once a month.
#3035 Trimix You don't want the nitrogen percentage to be too high or you run the risk of eutrophication.
#3036 Chess Zoo The zoo takes special care to keep kings separated from opposite-color pieces as part of their conservation program to prevent mating in captivity.
#3037 Radon A good ²³⁸Umbrella policy should cover it.
#3038 Uncanceled Units Speed limit c arcminutes^2 per steradian
#3039 Human Altitude I wonder what surviving human held the record before balloons (excluding edge cases like jumping gaps on a mountain bridge). Probably it was someone falling from a cliff into snow or water, but maybe it involved something weird like a gunpowder explosion or volcano.
#3040 Chemical Formulas Can you pass the nackle?
#3041 Unit Circle They're continuing to search for a square with the same area as the circle, as efforts to construct one have run into difficulties.
#3042 T. Rex Evolution Unfortunately, body size and bite force continue to increase.
#3043 Muons Update: I've been banned from the physics department for the way I pronounce "Doppler effect."
#3044 Humidifier Review They should add a little sticker that certifies that the humidifier supports water conservation, but in the sense of energy conservation or momentum conservation.
#3045 AlphaMove It struggles a little with complex positions, like when there are an even number of moves and it has to round down, but when run against itself it's capable of finding some novelties. At one point I saw six knights on the board at once; Stockfish rarely exceeds four.
#3046 Stromatolites If only my ancestors had been fortunate enough to marry into the branch of the bacteria family that could photosynthesize, like all my little green cousins here.
#3047 Rotary Tool It was great until my thumb slipped and I accidentally launched my telescope into the air at Mach 8.
#3048 Suspension Bridge As a first step, they can put in a secondary deck, to help drivers try it out and find out how fun the jumps are. After a while no one will use the old flat deck and they can remove it.
#3049 Incoming Asteroid The bottom ones are also potentially bad news for any other planets in our solar system that have been counting on Earth having a stable orbit.
#3050 Atom What's weirder is that muons turned out to be INCREDIBLY cute.
#3051 Hardwood They may technically have been softwoods at some point, but they definitely aren't now.
