In January 1783, Price returned to his laboratory in Guildford, ostensibly to start production of the miraculous powders. In fact, he set about the distillation of laurel water (which contained hydrogen cyanide, commonly known as prussic acid). He wrote his will at the same time, but it was another six months before he returned to London to invite members of the Royal Society to witness the experiment on 3 August in his laboratory in Guildford.
Despite the claimed successes of his initial demonstrations and the furor they had caused, only three members turned up in Guildford on the appointed day. Although clearly disappointed by the poor turnout, Price welcomed the three men and then, stepping to one side, ended his life by drinking the flask of laurel water he had prepared. The three men immediately noticed a change in his appearance, but before they could do anything, Price had died of cyanide poisoning.

Not only that, but they are the same species (different cultivars): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

Good explanation. Crop rotation also decreases plant diseases and insect damage.

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 6 months ago:
You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.
Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.
Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 6 months ago:
Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.

If your cup measurements are not the same you need new measuring cups.

In the US, sticks of butter have tablespoon measurements printed on the label, like this: www.errenskitchen.com/…/butter-sticks.jpg
Most people leave the sticks of butter in the fridge with the labels on. If you want X tablespoons of butter, you cut through the label and butter at the right mark.
I’m not saying it’s an ideal system (I also prefer recipes that use weights) but it works.

- Comment on Do bike tires increase pressure in summerm 7 months ago:
Just a small note: the pressures in this chart are absolute, not gauge. In everyday usage (like talking about tire pressure) we mean gauge pressure - that is, the difference in pressure from atmospheric pressure.
Your overall point is well taken (the change in temperature doesn’t matter much), but the numbers will be slightly different. For example, a tire filled to 100 psig (gauge) will reach 106.496 psig at 100 deg F, versus 105.663 in the original chart (assuming 14.7 psia atmospheric pressure).

No, you need to include the height of the cylinder (a). Imagine a deep dish pizza (big a) versus a thin crust (small a) - the sides of the deep dish pizza have more area. Your formula returns the circumference of the pizza.
If you’re interested in dimensional analysis (and why wouldn’t you be?) the formula you proposed doesn’t have enough length units. It would return a value of length (like inches, or cm) not area (like square inches or square cm).
- Comment on The more you know 9 months ago:
Sorry, the surface area of the “vertical” side of the crust, not including the top or bottom surfaces.
- Comment on The more you know 9 months ago:
That would be the surface area of the crust, not the volume
