Lots of interesting news today

It was 2 days later, and if you ever spoil a race for me again, I'm gonna cut your titties off!

They are tittles and it’s not my fault I watched the news reels today

McDowell County deputies search for naked man seen loitering on porches

Is is loitering if it's 3 A.M on someone else's property? Sounds more like trespassing with attempted B & E.

Damn scientists and their wiley ways
Scientists have shown the perfect way to make pancakes, and that has huge implications

that was totally worthless - it left out the most important information, which is exactly the perfect way to make pancakes. Implications be damned. Though the bit about wallets was interesting.

But the real question is: does anyone else put peanut butter on their pancakes? I wish I had never discovered this. I can't eat them without it now!

real boiled tree sap ftw! Or freezer strawberry jam.. scrummilicious.

Its in the original source - the paper - which they linked.
Here's a fulltext version

BLUF: rolling the pan around is the trick, and getting it just right is in the technique for pan rolling.

Oh I use tree sap too! Just gotta have both.

I'm glad you condensed the contents of the article, it's unavailable to us common folk.

I'll remember you got access to those sites if I ever need a physics article to finish my neutrectronical particlate accelsmasheratorizer.

Hell yes! Peanut butter, syrup and bacon. The only way to eat pancakes.

Not necessary. Here it is, freely available on ARXIV.
Pancake making and surface coating: optimal control of a...

Pro tip - in physics and several other fields, its common for authors to post a preprint in ARXIV prior to peer review submission to ensure an immediate timestamp of their name on the work AND free access.
Its then updated later after acceptance.

Have a wreck like that and come back the next day and win. I wonder how much those leathers cost

For him, nothing lol.

His air vest is about 1200
Suit retail is around 2500 (plus whatever they would charge to custom fit it, probably a few hundred bucks for that, plus money to do custom colors and sponsor patches)

Honestly I figured they would be more expensive

The expensive part of that wreck, is the bike, it is around 2 million.

I wonder if it’s the pattern or the paint itself. The ones completely covered had the best results but that doesn’t really say which helped.

If you read the actual research article, it's pretty clear. They had two control cows - one that was left alone, and another painted all one color (black) using the same paint as the stripes. There was no difference between black paint and no paint, only striped paint.

It's a visual problem. Flies can't resolved the striped area as a solid surface, and so do not try to land on it, they either avoid it, or crash w/o biting. They mention several other studies on this phenomenon, like that a rotating drum of striped colors attracts fewer flies than a solid one.

so is that why barber shop lights have the rotating center?? To keep flies away?

I read it differently. It said there were the black and white (fully painted), black stripes only (so not fully painted) and not painted at all. I like the visual theory though.

And so, the researchers painted six Japanese Black cows with black-and-white stripes, which took just five minutes per cow. They then observed the cows for three days, taking high-resolution images of them at regular intervals to count the insects on the animals and also recording any fly-repelling behaviors like leg stamping, tail flicking, and skin twitching. The same cows were also observed for three days with painted-on black stripes (to see if it was the paint chemicals, not the coloring, that repelled flies) and and with no stripes at all.

No, that is a carry over as a symbol from when they used to do bloodletting on the side...
