- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s fair.
I was focused on the marginal effect no matter how small, but you’re right that heat of solvation for gases is minuscule. I’m won over on the idea that it would be outweighed by cooling effect of gas expansion from fart decompression.

We need a room calorimeter and a lot of beans.

Care to elaborate your stance?

I didn’t take shartery into account, but that’s a great point.

Yeah, you’re right — there would be some cooling from pressure release.

In a nutshell, the bonds in question are intermolecular forces, not bonds between atoms within a molecule.

The act of mixing is an exothermic chemical process that does in fact explicitly generate heat. You can read up here if curious: en.wikipedia.org/…/Enthalpy_change_of_solution
I have a degree in physics and work in biomed R&D. I am a qualified fart scientist — this is what I live for.

The short answer to the post title is a hard “yes” due to enthalpy of solvation.
The answer to your followup question would require some modeling — with the main factors being fart composition, body mass, thermal gradient, and room size.

Bovines are ungulates, and thus have hooves. These eggs do not have hooves, and therefore are not bovine eggs.

Not a triad user in sight. Just lemmings living in the moment.
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 3 months ago:
In general, candidates who are on the end of a rescinded offer do not have much in terms of legal recourse. Although it varies from state to state, unless otherwise specified, employment is “at-will”, meaning either the employer or the employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason. Consequently, candidates have a difficult time enforcing a job offer or recovering damages for a rescinded offer when there is no duty on the part of the employer to keep the individual employed.
That said, there are some circumstances in which a candidate may have legal recourse if an employer rescinds a job offer. The candidate may be able to pursue a claim against the employer under one of the following theories: 1) Promissory estoppel, 2) Fraudulent misrepresentation, 3) Breach of contract, and 4) Discrimination.

Promissory estoppel cases are generally a case of the juice not being worth the squeeze, but based on the information in the OP (i.e. hefty demonstrable sunk costs) this particular circumstance might be an exception.

For anyone who missed it, the Windows Terminal team is infamous for claiming that it would require PhD level expertise to implement some basic optimizations suggested in a Github thread. Within a few hours, another developer countered that claim by submitting a functioning PR with said improvements implemented.
Team lead Dustin Howett then went on to double down on the original claim that said optimizations were unfeasable, and publicly attacked the author of the original suggestion thread on Hacker News. He issued an extremely half-assed apology and is still a Micro$haft employee to this day.
