- Comment on Can someone explain, calories, carbs, glucose, and gluten? 4 days ago:
Carbs is a shorter word for carbohydrates: energy-rich nutrients made primarily of carbon and hydrogen
By that definition, fats and oils would be carbohydrates too. Iirc, carbohydrates got their name because they release water when they are heated above a critical temperature while a black carbon residue remains.

Unrelated to the question, but what sort of degrees are you eating celery in? Celsius, where the celery is quite cold, Fahrenheit, where the celery is frozen solid (unlikely). I highly doubt one can eat celery at 7K.
Maybe the ambient temperature is 7 °C, 7 °F, 7 °Ré, 7 °Rø or 7 °N (7 K or 7 °Ra are unlikely) or they eat celery on a plane inclined by 7°.

The other method is to scare them so they turn around and tumble down.
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 weeks ago:
Usually in normal households, the electric stove is connected (hard wired) to all three phases (while the individual heating elements use only 230 V) to distribute it’s load.
Some people may use three-phase connectors for heavy duty tools, such as welding machines, electric saws or log splitters. - Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 weeks ago:
Also note that EU kettles can run on USA network, they will just be horrible slow heaters (they are slower with about 230V/110V = ~2x)
It’s even worse:
P = U·I = U^2/R, so only about a quarter. - Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 weeks ago:
The EU plug is one attempt. I believe that includes the UK and a few non-European countries.
The Europlug works in all of Europe, but not in UK and Ireland, as type G plugs have rectangular pins, and do not fit on Italian 16 A type L sockets (only on the 10 A and hybrid ones).
- Comment on Adding a Sever 3 weeks ago:
I guess it’s the same on other servers
In this case it isn’t. Lemmy.today federates with fedinsfw.app.
- Comment on Adding a Sever 3 weeks ago:
@one_old_coder@piefed.social As you are on lemmy.today, which federates with fedinsfw.app (lemmy.today/instances), you should be able to subscribe to (join) communities on fedinsfw, e.g. lemmy.today/c/fedinsfw@fedinsfw.app .
Maybe you need to unblock visibility of posts flagged as nsfw to see any content in the spicy communities. - Comment on Adding Server 3 weeks ago:
Yes, it can do both, Lemmy and Piefed.
- Comment on Adding Server 3 weeks ago:
Fedinsfw is a Piefed instance. Maybe “Voyager for Lemmy” doesn’t support it (yet).
- Comment on Which emitter should I get for the Convoy T6 flashlight? 3 weeks ago:
I find 3000 K a realy warm tone, similar to candlelight.
Looking at the product I also can’t find a charging port, nor do they mention a charging functionality in the text. However, the flashlight will have lots more power if used with a Lithium battery instead of an alkaline / NiMH battery (5A @ 3.6 V) vs. (0.5 A @ 1.5/1.2 V).
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 4 weeks ago:
The larger the tyre (diameter), the higher the top speed achievable practically
A larger wheel allows a smoother ride as a smaller wheel and thus allows for higher speeds on uneven ground.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 4 weeks ago:
the magnitude of the rotational inertia […] is roughly the same or maybe a bit higher on larger wheels that are probably heavier
The rotational moment of inertia increases a lot due to the larger diameter J ~ m r^2. Even if the masses were the same, the relatively heavy tyre and the rim are further away from the wheel hub.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 4 weeks ago:
For a road bike, you want to minimize the contact area of the tire with the road so you have very narrow tires and inflated a lot so that they don’t deform much under your weight.
It’s slightly different:
-
As the top speed of a road bike makes air resistance (drag) an important factor, road bikes use narrow tyres, resulting in a smaller silhouette area than a wide tyre (on a rim of the same diametre) would have.
-
As the rolling resistance increases with the length of the contact area, with the same internal pressure (inflation), i.e. same area of contact, narrow tyres have a higher rolling resistance than wide tyres. Thus, to (over-)compensate and decrease the length of the area of contact the internal pressure of road bike tyres is much larger than of normal, wider tyres.
As a result, narrow tyres of road bikes have smaller drag and due to over-compensation by inflation an even lower rolling resistance than standard bike tyres.

- Comment on If a person were paranoid about a potential food shortage in the next two to three years, what should they stock up on now? 4 weeks ago:
The downside of dried beans, pasta, etc. is that the need to be cooked, beans even for a long period of time. Canned food however can even be eaten cold without heating up.
- Comment on How well do desktop ice maker hold up to hard water? Do they go super crusty and hard to clean? Can you run vinegar through them? 4 weeks ago:
Vinegar is supposedly relatively aggressive an can harm seals. Citric acid is better.

You should obviously improve your reading skills.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
No, the argument is not required, the command is valid. It’s intentional and a neat feature that
rm -rfalone without a specified file does nothing.See e.g.: unix.stackexchange.com/a/553741
- Comment on 1 month ago:
The question is:
what happens when you give the command in the command line rm -rf ?
rm -rf *or hererm -rf testare different commands. - Comment on 1 month ago:
Exactly, but that wasn’t the question.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
No, it does nothing.
$ mkdir test $ cd test ~/test$ touch 1 2 3 4 5 ~/test$ rm -rf ~/test$ ls 1 2 3 4 5

AfaIk, they’re officially called communities.
- Comment on : Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures? 1 month ago:
As OP is asking about dreaming, I think “seeing” means pictures or brains produce during dreams that appear to the dreamer as if they were perceived through their eyes.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 1 month ago:
The votes are federated. A CCP critic post by a LW user in an LW community can be up/downvoted by users on any instance that LW is federating with, including tankie-heavy flagship instance

Oh gosh! It sounds like the russian was coming.
It’s probably because of its problem in pronouncing the “i” correctly. (Probably only Germans will get that joke) - Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 1 month ago:
Woodpeckers also do twitter.
- Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 1 month ago:
Crows, jays and woodpeckers are songbirds too.
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 1 month ago:
Both definitions seem to be present:
In computing, text-based user interfaces (TUI) (alternately terminal user interfaces, to reflect a dependence upon the properties of computer terminals and not just text), is a retronym describing a type of user interface (UI) common as an early form of human–computer interaction, before the advent of bitmapped displays and modern conventional graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
