  What is the point of paying for the pipe if you don’t use everything you can?! There is no reason they shouldn’t push it through faster.

  This is the reason why I leave the shower running in every hotel I visit. And at the buffet, I tell the waiter to fetch me a trash can so I can actually get rid of the whole thing. If I can, I usually leave both a heater and an air conditioner running in the hallway.

  For programmers: Air fryers have perfected the race to idle.

  For everyone else: Probably, but the insulation may not matter as much. Heating up a traditional oven takes anywhere from 15 to maybe 5 minutes, if you got a really powerful one. During that time heat escapes the device.

  Meanwhile air fryers usually heat up in about a minute and get the actual cooking done faster.

  So unless you a broiling something for a really long time, air fryers may still come out on top, just because they get done quicker, saving energy in the process.

  Oven pizza is a 22 minute job. My air fryer is done after 9.

  There’s also something about air volume and thermal mass, but you get the point.

  It just realized that, as a furry, I really don’t like furry men, only furry men.

  What the hell.

  1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

  I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.

  The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.

  I just want to say: everyone in my outgroup sucks.

  They don’t like it when you pat them on the head or rub their belly. Like; they’ll tell you their dog died, their fiancé left them, and they have to fight for custody of the kids - and they expect you to use words to comfort them?! Words. Absolute insanity, I tell you! In-sa-ni-ty!

  May I interest you in a 4-hour lecture on the figs, kumquats, cherimoyas and jungle cacti I grow in my living room, followed by a 2-hour tirade on certain web frameworks?

  Hey, please don’t let the uninitiated hanging like that. :(
