- 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? 23 hours 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? 1 week 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? 1 week 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? 1 week ago:
Farts are remarkably dry.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 1 week 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? 1 week 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.

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? 1 week 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. 1 week ago:
Xed-Editor (GitHub) (F-Droid) is an editor with syntax highlighting and can be configured wirh IDE features.

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? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
However, there are universities (of applied sciences) offering programs for employed people, where the courses subsequently are in the evening.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
That’s for the ideal case. In a real engine, there is some loss directly at the engine of the compressor.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Like the other commentators have already stated, the conditions (temperature difference)in winter and summer are different. However, if the temperature differences are the same, only reversed, heating requires less energy than cooling, as the (electric) power is also transformed to heat which in winter, when in heating mode is also usable heat while in summer, it adds to the heat that needs to be discharged outdoors.
- Comment on Why abc, xyz, etc.? 1 month ago:
p and q often also represent arbitrary rational numbers (Q), like m and n often denote natural numbers (N).
- Comment on Why abc, xyz, etc.? 1 month ago:
Actually, the use of i,j,k as counters is older than programming. It’s more like the other way round. They implemented making variables starting with i, j, k implicitly integer by default, as i, j, k were commonly used for indexing.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 month ago:
but it bounces off particles which makes it take a longer path
If I get the explanation on Wikipedia right, it’s not the photon taking a longer path, but the photon is absorbed by electons and re-emitted after a short delay. This effect is what decreases the speed of light in a transparent medium.
In exotic materials like Bose–Einstein condensates near absolute zero, the effective speed of light may be only a few metres per second. However, this represents absorption and re-radiation delay between atoms, as do all slower-than-c speeds in material substances. As an extreme example of light “slowing” in matter, two independent teams of physicists claimed to bring light to a “complete standstill” by passing it through a Bose–Einstein condensate of the element rubidium. The popular description of light being “stopped” in these experiments refers only to light being stored in the excited states of atoms, then re-emitted at an arbitrarily later time, as stimulated by a second laser pulse. During the time it had “stopped”, it had ceased to be light. This type of behaviour is generally microscopically true of all transparent media which “slow” the speed of light.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 month ago:
Nothing is truly incompressible.
Exactly. One usually speaks of quasi-incompressibility when the resistance against compression (bulk modulus) is much greater than the resistance against shear (shear modulus), which is oft the case for liquids such as water.
However, water has a lower resistance against compression (2 GPa) than e.g. steel (160 GPa), which is considered a compressive material. - Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 month ago:
“Liquid/fluid” and “gas” don’t necessarily mean the same thing scientifically as they do colloquially, they’re actually very close to the same thing.
Both, liquids and gases, are fluids. The main difference is that liquid phases have a free surface, e.g. the level of water in a glas, whereas gases don’t. Their surface is equal to the surface of their compartment.

Ah OK. Thank you.

According to the description on F-Droid, PipePipe has SponsorBlock.

So in other words: You need to have the YouTube app installed for the ReVanced patcher application to work.

At least it’s not seen as a smart move to pay for services twice, particularly not if one payment is your private data and especially not if that data is going to a big corporation like Google.

PipePipe has a Login option that NewPipe explicitly doesn’t want to implement, and thus, allows to watch restricted content.

They are neither included in standard F-Droid repos, nor Izzy, nor do they offer an F-Droid repo themself.
