Can Cherenkov radiation carry information? If it can does this mean information can travel faster than light? Question from a physics newbie

Actually I had some good luck with hiring people that have the minimum marks and huge amount of outside adjacent skills. One example is someone who was running a manufacturing operation on second shift and completing an engineering degree at the same time.

Think of it as similar to hi compression automobile engine (race car) being more efficient vs a low compression engine (tractor engine). Not exactly correct but a way of starting to think about it

How are you taking your temperature? Infrared sensor on the forehead? Infrared only measures surface temperatures and can give false readings of temperature based on how the body "radiator" system is working.

I worked on this drive. It's a 3.5 drive. A long time ago. Time for my daily nap and Centrum shot.

I once got to visit a jewelry manufacturing site where to get in and out you had to go through an MRI to ensure you didn't pick any gold or platinum dust on the tour. There were pallets of gold lying on the floor worth about 200 million. We got a chance to try to pick up a bar of gold about the size of a large loaf of bread and our tour guide said, "if you can pick that up and walk it to the front door, we'll let you have it". Turns out it weighed about 200 lbs and I could not get enough of grip to move it let alone pick it up. Fun visit.

The acceleration record is probably the manhole cover launched via nuclear explosion. Accelerated to 125,000 mph in a millisecond.
