A U.S. Army veteran who was arrested during an immigration raid at a Southern California farm last week
said Wednesday he was sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray
before being dragged from his vehicle and pinned down by federal agents who arrested him.
George Retes, 25, who works as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, said he was arriving at work on July 10
when several federal agents surrounded his car and

Army veteran detained by ICE in California farm raid speaks out
A U.S. Army veteran arrested during an immigration raid at a California marijuana farm says he was sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray before being dragged from his vehicle on his way to work. George Retes, a native of Ventura City, California, says he was pinned to the ground by ICE officials on his back and his neck after getting caught between protesters and authorities last week at Glass House Farms in Camarillo. Retes was held for three days before being release without charges and with…

Toxic Thailand rivers pinned on Myanmar mines
A sprawling new mine is gouged into the lush rolling hills of northeast Myanmar, where civil war has weakened the government's already feeble writ, and pollution levels are rising downstream in Thailand.

I’m upgrading a #Rails app from 7.1 to 8.02. The App uses tailwindcss-rails even though I don’t use any #TailwindCss in the app. I had problems taking Tailwind to 4.x so I pinned it to ~> 3.3.1 per the README. I’d love to get over the hump and get it all the way to 4.x. but there was an @forms plugin t…

First critical field in the pinned three dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity
We study extreme type-II superconductors described by the three dimensional magnetic Ginzburg-Landau functional incorporating a pinning term $a_\varepsilon(x)$, which we assume to be a bounded measurable function satisfying $b\leq a_\varepsilon(x)\leq 1$ for some constant $b>0$. A hallmark of such materials is the formation of vortex filaments, which emerge when the applied magnetic field exceeds the first critical field $H_{c_1}$. In this work, we provide a lower bound for this critical field …

Love the new #Mastodon 4.4 pinned post pagination... though I think I would like it to auto advance. even if slow.

@… pinned posts are a carousel now:

Mastodon 4.4 is out now,
and it brings changes for profiles and lists and also lays the groundwork for quote posts.
With #profiles, you can feature specific hashtags so that people can see all the posts you’ve tagged with those hashtags.

This is the last time for a while I’m going to brag about my shiny new pinned posts, try not to miss them too much.
Sleep well and if bad dreams come knocking, just boost them away with this little gem:

What are the pros and cons of pinned vs finned heatsinks? I'm thinking specifically about rectangular pins like seen in my previous post (Wakefield-Vette 960 series).
Initial thoughts:
* Fins absolutely have to have airflow down their long axis. Square/round pins don't care, rectangular pins degrade but not horribly if you're oriented wrong
* Pins weigh less
* Fins have more surface area (at least, in the direction of airflow) in the same footprint
* …

Hey, I’m Erik. I’m an anarchist with an embarrassingly massive crush on Rudolf Rocker’s syndicalist take. I’m also bisexual, autistic, and genderfluid because why not add some extra flavor?
I’m here to share my weird little world, build some solidarity, and maybe spark a little revolution along the way. No pressure, no drama, just good vibes and a lot of laughs. You do you and I’ll do me. Cool? Cool.

Periodically Driven anharmonic chain: Convergent Power Series and Numerics
We investigate the long time behavior of a pinned chain of $2N+1$ oscillators, indexed by $x \in\{-N,\ldots, N\}$. The system is subjected to an external driving force on the particle at $x=0$, of period $θ=2π/ω$, and to frictional damping $γ>0$ at both endpoints $x=-N$ and $N$. The oscillators interact with a pinned and nearest neighbor harmonic plus anharmonic potentials of the form $\frac{ω_0^2 q_x^2}{2}+\frac12 (q_{x}-q_{x-1})^2 +ν\left[V(q_x)+U(q_x-q_{x-1}) \right]$, with $…

Dynamics of low-mass black hole seeds in the BRAHMA simulations using subgrid-dynamical friction: Impact on merger-driven black hole growth in the high redshift Universe
We analyze the dynamics of low-mass black hole (BH) seeds in the high-redshift ($z\gtrsim5$) Universe using a suite of $[4.5~\mathrm{Mpc}]^3$ and $[9~\mathrm{Mpc}]^3$ BRAHMA cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The simulations form seeds with mass $M_{\mathrm{seed}}=2.2\times10^3~M_{\odot}$ in halos that exceed critical thresholds of dense & metal-poor gas mass ($5-150~M_{\mathrm{seed}}$) and the halo mass ($1000-10000~M_{\mathrm{seed}}$). While the initial BRAHMA boxes pinned the BHs to the …

New Molecular Dynamics Methods for Simulating Neutron Star Crusts with Superfluid Vortices
Superfluid vortices in neutron star crusts are thought to be pinned to the lattice of nuclei in the crust. The unpinning of superfluid vortices in spin glitches therefore motivates us to study the vortex-crust interaction explicitly with molecular dynamics. In this work, we present a new molecular dynamics methods to characterize the response of the crust to a rigid vortex. When vortex pinning forces and nearest neighbor Coulomb forces are comparable, we observe a qualitatively new phenomena of…

Light-induced localized vortices in multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensates
We study continuous interaction of a trapped two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with light fields in a $Λ$-type configuration. Using light beams with orbital angular momentum, we theoretically show how to create a stable, pinned vortex configuration, where the rotating component is confined to the region surrounded by the second, non-rotating component. The atoms constituting this vortex can be localized in volumes much smaller than the volume occupied by the second component. The position…

Youtube comment handling is so annoying.
HRCC talked about Field Day, including some mention of CW. So I mentioned my Morse Walker Field Day simulator work, and Josh pinned my comment.
I have now twice posted followup comments mentioning QRZ and my call sign, hoping that people can find the simulator from my QRZ page, without posting a link, and Youtube keeps silently deleting the comments. Argh.
I have no idea what it is triggering on.
Meanwhile,

Sorry for messing up your scrolling style, done editing all of my pinned posts!

Honestly, kind of shocked there’s no autistic burnout after wrangling all my stuff together and finally making a proper pinned intro. Being autistic, I just really wanted this to feel right, and let’s be real, Mastodon is totally where I overshare, lmao.
