Can I post Operations research problems in Physics Forum?

AI Thread Summary
Operations research problems can be posted in the Physics Forum, but the appropriate section depends on the specific nature of the research. Since operations research spans various fields, including applied mathematics and engineering, it can fit into different categories within the forum. If a post is placed in a less suitable section, moderators may relocate it later. The emphasis is on taking action and posting in any relevant area rather than waiting for the perfect choice, as perfection is unattainable in operations research.

That will depend on the Operations you are Researching.
OR crosses the normal boundaries of science, so it may be applied mathematics, engineering, or general discussion.

As any OR officer knows, perfection is impossible. If it turns out there was a second-best place, then your thread will be moved there later by a moderator. In the meantime, stop procrastinating, pick the third-best place, and post it there. By definition, if you post it somewhere, that place will always be third-best. That is OR.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
