A lot of people already mentioned it but geant4 is the gold standard for that kind of simulation. It could also be worth looking into pythia if you're interested in simulating high energy events with geant4

Loved catholic school. I never went, but there was a catholic school near my highschool and my horny bicurious (at the time) teenage self benefited greatly from it

Would be dope if she actually turns over a new leaf. Im not willing to bet anything on it, but I'm willing to engage in a bit of cautious optimism and see if she lives by those words over the next few years

Wouldn't want to let gen z brainrot slang and memes infect the totally not brainrot slang and memes already omnipresent in the armed forces. It scares me so much I dont think im going to be able to finish my crayola casserole. Ooh rah!

From the same type of motherfucker who somehow both understands concepts like the scientific method and interpreting data, but will look at a 15% pass rate in their entry level classes and blame it on the students

Coming back to the civilian world is hard as fuck, especially if you woke up during your time with the military. You get home and people call you a hero for what amounts to crimes against humanity, and if you try to explain the horror to them you get labeled crazy and dangerous. Nobody wants to hear that their government is run by mass murdering psychopaths and nobody wants to believe that "defense" is a myth that tricked their friends/family into participating in said mass murder. I was lucky enough to have the financial and emotional support to spend a year just working on myself, but i still have times where something will remind me of what I've seen and been part of and all I can do is hide myself and cry, and it still makes me uncomfortably furious when I hear people who have never experienced meaningful violence in their lives wish it upon others. I completely understand why some people who get home and immediately have to work to survive turn to a career with people who can at least understand/accept them and their trauma. It can feel like the only other option is isolation until inevitable suicide.

I suspect this is a consequence of people I learned from using the phonetic alphabet over noisy radio, but m1 has always been mark 1 (rather than model 1) to me.

Also, didn't list the m1 eyeball? Radar engineers in shambles
