@johncarlosbaez every WebBook data entry has a literature reference. Looks like the hydrogen entropy cites CODATA, and the PDF someone has uploaded here (which agrees with the NIST H2 value) specifies 298.15K https://www.science.co.il/chemistry/databases/Codata-key-values-for-thermodynamics.pdf

In den letzten Monaten hat @cstmrii eine Deutschlandkarte des Schienenpersonennahverkehrs des Fahrplanjahrs 2022 komplettiert und nun ist die Version von 2024 schon so weit vorangeschritten, dass konkret geplant wird, sie als Din A0-Plakat (ca 85 x 120 cm) drucken zu lassen.

Hier mal ein Bild zum Grössenvergleich (mit einem etwas einfacheren Drucker gedruckt):

@kjhealy If you have a Muppet voice synthesizer, why limit it to actual Muppet productions? Just make it a Netflix menu option for everything. "subitles: OFF. muppet mode: ON. Daphne Bridgerton: LEW ZEALAND"

CWRU PHYSICS PHD APPLICATIONS are due TODAY

If you are a physics senior and you're panicking over your 12/15 applications being aimed way too high (or way too low) IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

(I am the admissions committee chair! Ask me anything!)

Row over gold at the end of the Rainbow

D. H. Lawrence has inspired thousands of essay questions in his time, but one remains unanswered.

The Guardian
So apparently in 1930 DH Lawrence left his estate to his wife, Frieda the Baroness von Richthofen (!), and in 1956 she split the estate between her three kids by her previous husband (whom he raised after she ran off with Lawrence) and half of it to her stepchildren by her subsequent husband, and as of 1999 it was split twelve ways between grandchildren. So before you make a tasteless meme with your new Lady Chatterley public-domain IP, think of the victims---umpteen nepo Richthofens!
Happy public domain day! Let's all cry a tiny tear for whatever poor nth-generation nepo baby who, up until today, under the laws intended to promote creativity, was able to cash windfall royalty checks for "Lady Chatterley's Lover". No more checks! So sad!
