World's Smallest Computer Compared To A Grain Of Rice
This computer measures 0.33mm on each side! According to my pal Google: "Currently, the tiny computer serves as a precision temperature sensor. It uses electronic pulses to convert temperatures into timed intervals. The result, for example, is the ability to report temperatures in a cluster of cells within a tumor with an error rate of around 0.1 degrees Celsius. 'Since the temperature sensor is small and biocompatible, we can implant it into a mouse and cancer cells grow around it,' said Gary Luker, a professor of radiology and biomedical engineering. 'We are using this temperature sensor to investigate variations in temperature within a tumor versus normal tissue and if we can use changes in temperature to determine success or failure of therapy.' https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/worlds-smallest-computer-dwarfed-by-rice-grain/

We Live Next To The Ocean, Here's The Comparison Between The Outside And Inside Doorknob
The outside doorknob can double as a salt lick for any passing deer or cows.

I could not get past the empty beer bottle laying on the ground. Pick up your s**t before taking pictures.
Should have placed a Margarita glass there instead so the ocean could salt the rim.

There are more bottles outside than inside. I'd rather outside then....
Nice photo, especially appreciate the beer bottle on the ground outside.
Use brass and you own't suffer this degradation, plus brass kills Covid-19 and much else!
facts. I have metal decorative items that have done that over time because we leave the doors open to allow the breeze to enter.
I had a Yamaha scooter. I was offered $1500 as a trade-in. I went to work on the Northern California coast for six months. When I came home, I went to trade it in and I was offered $200! That's what living on the coast does to a vehicle!

Whenever Somebody Posts A Photo Of The Milky Way, People Invariably Ask "Is That How You See It With The Naked Eye?". Here's A Representation Of What You Do See Compared To What Comes Out Of The Camera
This photo was taken at the Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia, the moon had just set below the horizon and the core of the Milky Way was rising towards the east and was at about 40 degrees. This obviously isn't a perfect representation but it's pretty close. You won't see any color as our eyes can't determine color very well in low light.
The photo you see on the left is directly out of the camera, no post processing has been done at all and you can see quite a bit of green towards the horizon and some orange and magenta hues in the core. My camera's white balance was set to auto and this is a 30 second exposure. ISO was set at 3200 and aperture was f2.8.
edit Ok it seems some people are able to distinguish color in the Milky Way and some aren't. Though it's more common to not see any color. I did quite a bit of research and almost every time this question was posed, people had varying views on what they could and couldn't see. No color - some color - lots of color. So I came to the conclusion that there are just too many variables to accurately depict what you can see, you can only approximate what the average person can see. Yes, some will see it more vividly, some will see it less vividly but the average person will see it similarly to what I showed in my photo. Oh and of course the location plays a large factor.........not everybody is able to sail 100 miles off shore to get the absolute best view possible so it's a bit pointless to use that as the standard bearer :) One other factor you should bear in mind is the technology we choose to portray these images on. Computer monitors. Again there are way too many variables at play here, especially when it comes to contrast and brightness. What I see on my computer monitor is most likely to be different to what another person sees.

This was pretty cool. It's interesting to see how things have changed over the years, especially if they have changed for the better like the graphics for video games. Also interesting to see comparisons between things like the claws/talons for the animals.
