I have a new paper out on a classical model that exhibits the (supposedly "purely quantum-mechanical") Stern-Gerlach experiment behavior. This is not to propose that the particular model presented is right, but that indeed classical models can explain this experiment. Check it out!

I made this post earlier in the week.
I couldn't stand the sight of this thing anymore, so I gave it my best shot. It took approximately 4 hours total:
- Scraped off all of the caulking with a utility knife - it all needed to go
- Sanded as much as I can with course paper and then fine
- Caulked the inside corners and smoothed everything out as best as I could
- Painted after everything dried
- Realized I spelled doorjamb wrong the first time
Fairly certain my paint strokes could use some improvement, but it looks much better than it did before.
Thanks all for your advice.
I don't know how that's possible, but where there's a will kid, there's a way, I guess.
Hello I recently just purchased my first home and am now starting on all the small handyman tasks and have no idea what I'm doing, First things first my bedroom door strikeplate hole does not align with the latch so the door does not latch at all. Unfortunately it's a large enough gap that I cannot simply wiggle the strikeplate I will have to move it down quite a bit. I am just going to totally fill the hole and start fresh. From what I gathered the best thing to do would be to completely plug the hole the best I can with a wood piece and secure it in with wood glue and fill the screw holes in with wood glue as well and afterwards sand it down and paint and place the new strikeplate hole in the correct spot with a drill. I have no idea if this is the correct way, So any suggestions or reccomendations would help greatly!
Iβd like to see an unlockable item that gives us the ability to keep a door from being opened by an NPC. Itβs a simple item that could mix things up and I donβt need another explosive toy. Enforcers could get suspicious and go another route into the room while others would just accept itβs locked and fo elsewhere.
Good for keeping a body hidden when thereβs not an easily accessible crate.
Evening, y'all! A friend of my mom - neither of them use Reddit, but they both know I do, so here I am - is a wheelchair user. She has a fancy one, three wheels on each side, lets her elevate and recline, redecorates her kitchen floor whenever she drops a berry and doesn't notice. The concern is the width. The center wheel on each side has a bumper covering it, but even without that bumper it's just wide enough to scrape the paint off the doorjambs when she moves from room to room, even when she's able to go straight through.
The trouble in this case is a few of her doorways are set in places where they can't be widened at all. The scraped paint is about to become fully gouged wood, and as far as the three of us can tell there's nothing she can do to stop it. They were talking today and it occurred to them that the internet exists, so they asked me to see if anyone knows a solution that might work. Some protective material that can be applied, either to the bumper on her chair or the doorjambs, maybe.
We're clueless. We'll be grateful for any suggestions we get!
Hey Reddit: my house was built during the era of bright brass fixtures, and at some point the previous owner went through and swapped all the knobs and hinges with "rubbed bronze".
Unfortunately they seem to have done so with an unregulated screw gun, because half the hinge screw holes are stripped, and the screws are gradually walking out and hinges coming loose.
What's the easiest way to fix the holes?
I bought this house about 9 years ago. At that time it had wood rot pretty severe around the back door. Very visible rot etc. I couple years later I paid a handyman to fix it. It cost $600. He basically hung a new door and jam assembly/trim. At that time I recall him noting that the frame was in good shape and not rotted. It was just the jamb/trim wood. I can agree to my laymens eye the 2X4's around the door looked ok when he had removed the jamb stuff.
I dont recall exactly how long ago that was but I'm guessing maybe 5 years? Anyways I've been keeping an eye on the door since dreading a recurrence. A couple years ago knowing zilch about painting, I bought a can of spray paint (who knows what kind, I think it was enamel!) and painted the jam (it was maybe flaking a little in a few spots). That paint more recently was flaking off pretty bad. I'm thinking whatever nasty spray paint I used cause even the underlying "good" paint to start to flake off.
After finishing another project I turned my attention to the door. My plan was to touch up the paint and caulk around the wood carefully. However I noticed what I feared, actual rot has set in again. You can see a pic here, of the left side (it looks that way because I was scraping the old bad paint and caulk off as best I could) http://i.imgur.com/10yC9aW.jpg . Note the rot on the lower left piece at the bottom. The other left piece is also somewhat wet and spongy to the touch or when poked with a knife at the bottom. I'm not sure if slightly wet and spongy qualifies as rot, the wood seems ok. Higher than a couple inches off the ground the wood seems ok and not even slightly spongy.
Ok so i need to replace that, how? Im thinking some type of "dutchman"'s repair? But I dont want this to keep happening. Is it a major moisture issue? I'm also terrified if my frame itself was in any danger? I read about how rot just spreads and can infect behind it. That would be terrible...
Should I just cut out the wood and graft in a new piece? If so, what kind do I need to get to be most water resistant? How worried about getting ALL the rot do I need to be? Do I need to cut like WAY higher than I think just to be extra sure?
Another question on wood rot, people say you have to get every last molecule or it will just spread (could this even include my frame behind?). But I also read wood rot need moisture. If you cut off the water, the fungus cannot grow. My feeling is if I cut off the moisture (through paint/caulk/replace

I'm linking two threads, one from Protect and Serve, the other from Bad Cop No Donut.
The interesting question from both threads is, what can you do when you can't close your door because a cop's hand/foot in the jamb?
/r/protectandserve recommended vocalizing your protest, then opening the door for the police to run roughshod through your belongings. A judge will sort it out, they say.
/r/badcopnodonut didn't have a good answer. (I suggested propping open the door without touching the cop's delicate fingers and toes, then leaving the room. But I'm probably an idiot.)
So my question is, if you're a non-law-breaker who doesn't want police searching your home... Should you open the door when cops knock without a warrant? What are your options if you open the door and they stick their hand in the jamb, preventing you from closing it?
Edit: This happened in [Ohio]
The doorjamb on the door to my rooftop deck is rotted in the bottom left and right corners. I bought a doorjamb kit from Home Depot and will be doing the repair this weekend.
My current plan is to remove the molding, remove the old doorjamb and inspect to see if the frame has begun to rot. Then install the new doorjamb.
I have never installed a door or replaced a doorjamb. Any tips or suggestions are welcome.
