- Comment on What are some free & open source fonts designed for or comissioned by brands? 5 days ago:
The Ubuntu font family is the first that comes into my mind.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely. But fortunately, everything here has the dimension length to the power of something.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
Their idea is like throwing all material that is currently located above sea level into the sea which would subsequently increase the “sea level” as the radius of the sphere defined by the water surface, not the depth of the ocean on a perfectly spherical earth.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
I’m fine with imperial units, as long as somebody stays in one unit system and doesn’t mix miles, yards, feet and inches, or square miles and acres, etc.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
Tides are in the dimension of metres, the global ocean would be kilometres deep.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for clarification.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
As @huquad@lemmy.ml pointed out, @LodeMike@lemmy.today had an error in his calculation (radius squared instead of cubed). His corrected result, 1.7 mi also equals 2.7 km.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 2 weeks ago:
No, there are 1.4 billion cubic kilometres of water on earth (
V_w = 1.4·10⁹ km³). Earth’s diameter isD_E = 12750 km. The volume of the relatively thin shell of water is approximatelyV_w ≈ π(D_E)² t. Inserting yieldst ≈ V_w/(π(D_E)²) = 1.4·10⁹ km³/(π (12750 km)²) ≈ 2.74 km. - Comment on How much more progressive are European views as compared to progressives in America? 2 weeks ago:
only possible with direct representation and without regional representation
Multi party systems work also with regional representation if both approaches, regional and federal, are mixed.
- Comment on Can someone give me some primers/resources on understanding politics in the Netherlands? 1 month ago:
NE? It’s NL.
Or NED.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 1 month ago:
Voting successfully: The ballot was properly filled out and the vote was counted.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 1 month ago:
Less than half of everyone who voted successfully.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 2 months ago:
There have been resentments against different groups of immigrants even before, e.g. Italians, Irish, or Chinese.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
I’m won over on the idea that it would be outweighed by cooling effect of gas expansion from fart decompression.
Did you already find information on how much pressure a colon can sustain?
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
Not much, except the pressure involved is different and flatus contains more methane, carbon oxides and fancy molecules than the air we in- and exhale usually does.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
Farts are remarkably dry.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
We are talking about mixing of gases, not the solution of a liquid in a gas or a solid in a liquid.
Here, no bonding forces are broken as there are almost none active. Air as a mixture of gases at low pressure is, at least like I have learned in thermodynamics, treated as if its different components don’t interact with each other. For each component, the state equation is evaluated individually using its partial pressure.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
Of course. Otherwise this would qualify as a chemical reaction.
I’d totally get it, if were taking about lets say vaporising of perfume or fuel. There, the bonding forces between the molecules of the liquid (van der Waals, H-bridges) are released, and thus stored energy is set free.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
Qualifies mixing of gases as dissolution?
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 months ago:
Exactly, beside one techniallity:
The process of fart mixing into ambient air generates heat.
No, it does not generate heat. It carries a portion of heat from the body and transports it into the ambient air in the room. Almost simultaneously, an equivalent amount of air leaves the room to the outside. The increased heat of the air yields into an increased temperature in the room.
- Comment on Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming. 2 months ago:
Xed-Editor (GitHub) (F-Droid) is an editor with syntax highlighting and can be configured wirh IDE features.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
one might expect every child to have a body in between male and female as well
No, one would expect the male children to grow to a body size somewhere between their dad and their mom’s brother.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 2 months ago:
If you could damage a camera by pointing it at something, the manufacturer would fix the issue before selling it, because no one is buying a camera that does.
Recently, there were news about the LIDAR of Volvo cars destroying camera sensors when they were aimed into the direction of the IR laser beam.
- Comment on This startup wants to use the Earth as a massive battery 2 months ago:
This thing seems to require the perfect conditions as well, which may prove even harder to find compared to places for pumped hydro.
I agree. It’s also a question of how many cycles the impermeability of the rock lasts.
- Comment on This startup wants to use the Earth as a massive battery 2 months ago:
If I get it right, the ground itself is the impermeable “bladder”, as the water is pressed into rock. The rock keeps the pressure onto the water until it is being released.
- Comment on Why is the spellchecker in Firefox so abysmal? 2 months ago:
The tool is literally named anf languagetool.org has the option to self host.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 2 months ago:
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 2 months ago:
You could also do that “softly” with PiHole, if you intend to use some of the apps, but if you don’t, it’s only beneficial to disconnect it entirely from the internet.
- Comment on Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? 3 months ago:
However, there are universities (of applied sciences) offering programs for employed people, where the courses subsequently are in the evening.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
That’s for the ideal case. In a real engine, there is some loss directly at the engine of the compressor.
