thanks. Yes this is in line with my original thought too.

this makes me lean towards the fork even more.

Thank you for concurring with me. This is also the explanation i could come up with while observing food mixer blades(they resemble a fork more than a spoon), tough the flow is more turbulent in that case.

Yes i think shaking may induce good dissolution and mixing and may be higher intensity than mixing using spoon or fork.

My thought was on the lines of non turbulent mixing with spoon or fork, entirely on the basis of mixing efficiency.

Yes. This makes the debate futile haha.

Haha.. yes.. missed this candidate.

While i do understand that a larger surface area of the spoon will "flap" the liquid around better, but assuming similar motion with a fork might mean a more heterogeneous mix.

Of course we haven't mentioned the intensity of mixing. A food mixer's blades appear more closer to a fork than a spoon.

Thank you .. will do this experiment.

Pretty cool.

I did that to a 2009 mac mini ( with an external USB-SSD) .. and it came back to life. Still use it for running some jobs.

Australian National University hosts a random number generator based on quantum fluctuations in the vacuum : https://qrng.anu.edu.au/

Question : With respect to breaking cryptography, today's cryptographically secure pseudo random number generators (CSPRNGs) seem capable. What threat scenarios would require true (or near-true) random generators?

This is a great idea. I assume that inference costs will be higher for the time being, but it does aim to solve a real problem. Kudos..!

I use Zotero and really like it, especially when working with others. This was the first thing that came into my mind on this thread.

Thanks, this is the link I've been looking for with regards to this thread.

In certain countries like India and Sri Lanka, fermented rice and lentil cakes (Idli) are extremely popular too as a healthy vegetarian option that is good for the gut.
