QM math is bunk!
Randall Mills of brilliantlightpower.com has figured out a classical model of the atom that works far better than the Schroedinger electron is everywhere at once model. Theory has many astonishing consequences - oscillating universe, unlimited energy (working prototypes exist) from atomic hydrogen transition to smaller hydrinos, dark matter is hydrogen in form of hydrinos, etc. Wikipedia says it is nonsense, but Wikipedia is policed by uber skeptics that won't even allow pro-hydrino rebuttal to be added to the page so is not an unbiased source. Proof is in the experimental videos and accompanying verification paper by independent scientists.

#52OK I'll risk it by saying things I think I know about quantum mechanics that have proved useful in dispelling/illuminating/clarifying popular accounts, that lots of people probably don't get. Bear in mind that someone quite famous and rather clever once said "if you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics", and I think he surely wasn't joking! - There's no such thing as an indep…
It's because QM math is WRONG :-)

#53Bicarbonate of soda works as a deodorant. I have a small pot by my bathroom sink. Dab in two damp fingers, under the arms, no smell. It's more effective than any deodorant I've tried, doesn't give me an allergic reaction, is better for the environment, and is very cheap.
My grandmother used to swear by this too! I had totally forgotten about it until seeing your post.

#54I believe I have played for at least a few minutes every single game ever commercially released for the BBC Micro, a British 8-bit home computer. I got slightly obsessed with playing all of them, a few years ago. About 10-20% of them are pretty good. A small percentage are genuinely shockingly good, for such an old system. The vast majority are pretty awful, with many of them being horrible BBC BASIC “conversions” of…
Would you be able to share your Top 10?

Difficult question, I think. The "famous" ones are indeed very good - Elite, Exile. SimCity works amazingly well considering it's running on a 6502 with less than 32K of RAM.
Chuckie Egg is famous in the UK but I found it to be overrated.
Plan B and Starship Command take good advantage of the high-res 1-bit screen modes and look great.
Thrust has amazingly realistic feeling physics, very satisfying to play.
Revs is a very dry simulation of car racing, but well produced if that's your thing.
Firetrack has probably the smoothest vertical scolling on the system, which until that game came out was thought to be impossible.
Those are the ones I can think of right now!

#56- CSS3D, a fun and easy way to make 3D scenes / games in the browser without WebGL. To my knowledge, we are about 5 people to use it (https://xem.github.io/articles/css3dgames.html)
- JS code-golfing... I'm not alone but we're a small community, who enjoy making JS programs / art / games with the smallest possible amount of code (js1k.com, js13kgames.com, dwitter.net, ...)
- Unicode, its quirks, its updates (not only emoji), its encodings and its predecessors charsets
- Regexes (everyone hates them but I enjoy using them)
- Browsers hacks and polyfills (remember IE6? Firefox 3? Chrome 1? With enough effort, you could make them do almost everything that modern browsers can do today. My job has been to do exactly that for many years, and it was actually pretty fun)
