A: Sandbox for Proposed Questions

chif-iiHow do genetically modified rodents cause the apocalypse? The creatures escaped. We selected them to breed fast. Perhaps too fast. The customers were always hungry for the newest model. At first, it was just small beasts. Dog-sized. The kind a child could raise instead of a dog or a cat....

[magic idea]
Aspect: Deconstruction
Description: An entity being taken apart, with each part contain enough instruction to show what it is like before being decomstructed
But perhaps, we can take deconstruction further with magic (that is otherwise very hard to do for real objects)
Let objects A and B, Deconstruct both and let them interact. The result is an object C which is consisted of deconstructed states of A and B interact with each other which in theory, can be reconstructed to show the state of C in real time

Good [morning|afternoon|evening] world builders.
 
@AndyD273 What's up!
 
@Green Not too much. Bit tired. Looking forward to recording tomorrow. You?
 
@AndyD273 I'm making progress on my designs for stereo seismograph.
 
@AndyD273 good afternoon
 
1:21 PM
@AndyD273 rytsas!
 
@AjnatorixZersolar Hi!
@Mithrandir24601 <<All men die>>
 
@Green I think that's "valar morghūlis". Rytsas is just hello. duolingo.com/comment/23499081/Rytsas-valar-morgh%C5%ABlis
 
@AndyD273 As someone who doesn't watch the show...
 
@Green I don't either, but Google is very useful
 
@AndyD273 I googled it last week then forgot then partly remember this morning but couldn't be arsed to go look it up again.
 
1:27 PM
So what does a stereo seismograph do?
From the name I assume that it tells you what direction the movement is coming from.
 
@AndyD273 It determines which way a vibration came from.
There's lots of noise around my apartment. People walking, subway trains going by, all kinds of things. I want to be able to identify those things and knowing where they are coming from helps a lot.
The problem is that I can't use normal seismic signal processing to do the recording because I need something that will sample at 2000hz since my seismographs will be seperated only be 4 meters and sound in concrete moves at 3200-3700m/s
If I'm gonna sample at 2000hz, it's easier to just sample at 44khz since there's lots of recording equipment that will record at those frequencies.
 
1:43 PM
@AndyD273 yep :)
 
@Green So what's the purpose of identifying it, other than to just get an idea of what's moving around I mean.
 
@AndyD273 Because I'm curious.
 
Good a reason as any
 
@AndyD273 I have a coworker who has a seismograph and he's been able to detect the movement of his house's foundations as a result of the wind blowing. There's some super cool stuff to find if you can just get an instrument that will see it.
I also followed a guy on YouTube for a while who played a submarine warfare game. In real life, he's an old sonar man and had lots of good stories to tell about hearing things/sonar analysis/etc.
 
@Green which submarine warfare game? The only one I know of was the Tom Clancy one Red Storm Rising
I played that a lot as a kid
 
2:00 PM
@AndyD273 Cold Waters I think is the name.
 
Well, It sounds like a fun project, and at least you'll be ready when the mole people come to cleanse the surface of all those who dare to dig.
Unleashing their army of grabboids.
 
@AndyD273 A helpful feature of how I'm doing this project is that I can use Audacity for audio analysis which is a package I'm rather familiar with.

@Green @AndyD273 You guys are weird
What shall we discuss this evening?
 
@James Last I remember it was going to be magic and religion, and it was going to be tomorrow? I'm also good for tonight. Either is fine
 
@AndyD273 Err, yeah tomorrow.
@Green Do we have access to episode 6...or whichever episode magic will be? I'd like to give it a listen before we meet if at all possible.
 
@James I put it in hangouts
That way other people don't accidentally listen to it.
 
@AndyD273 lol, we wouldn't want that.
 
It's really not great...
heh
To lunch!
 
4:30 PM
@AndyD273 When you get back we need to discuss your profile on the monkey lords site.
 
5:01 PM
@James ok, back
 
5:56 PM
@AndyD273 So from this page, you need a write up/title/description similar to the rest.
 
@James I forget, what am I the monkey lord of?
 
@AndyD273 ...Otters?
Not sure, thats what we need to establish :)
 
6:26 PM
@James We do. No one else should though. The audio is horrible.
 
6:54 PM
@Green Just listened to it...despite me being really quiet its a good episode.

Q: Why do I have so few votes?

EkaenI remember that the site lets you vote about 40 times over the course of a day. Today I logged in, voted the answers on this question, about 9 votes and just a few more later... probably less than 15 votes. Then the site said I had to wait about 11 hours to vote again. Why is it? Does the site...

 
8:07 PM
Happy endangered animal killer's day.
 
@James I think it's the best one so far.
 
@James Despite or because?
 
@Bellerophon oh burn!
 
8:34 PM
@Bellerophon Wait what?
@Green Definitely.
 
@Bellerophon Don't tempt me to abuse the edit ability :P
 
@Mithrandir24601 They make it such a challenge some days.
