but napalm is notoriously sicky

Then what would napalm be?

The problem is there’s an upper limit on how much useful energy you can extract from a heat engine.

- Comment on what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment? 1 week ago:
I was trying to concentrate hydrochloric acid and had it in my boiling flask on a mantle. It was taking a while and I realized I hadn’t added a stir-bar, so I tossed one in.
Then the superheated hydrochloric acid flash boiled and shot out of the flask like 8 feet in the air. Fortunately, I was outside.

Switch Lite. Great console, but limited in stupid ways. Why no video out?

- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 3 weeks ago:
The Truman Show didn’t have commercial breaks or ad reads. People in his environment may speak highly of a product (sometimes to a suspicious degree), but they only spoke to people inside the simulation. The products had to naturally fit into his environment.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 3 weeks ago:
Viewership would probably drop, and the product placement embedded in the show that funded the whole program would be difficult to do in jail.

- Comment on Work 5 weeks ago:
Because some employers want to see how you attack a problem that has no clear answer.
However, they also don’t ask the question any more because it didn’t correlate with job performance, so take from that what you will.

There is no intended solution. That’s the point.

Well this explains this interview question.

It is so hard to troubleshoot issues with Photos. Why did they ditch iPhoto.

That’s the same code.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 1 month ago:
but in practice it’s best to get a good electrician to run a new circuit from the box in even somewhat recent construction
The photo you linked was a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Mistakes/freak accidents happen. As I said in another comment, think of how many millions of households use 1440W space heaters indoors and don’t burn down. That’s what TC is advocating here. By and large, it’s completely safe.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 1 month ago:
Right, but people use space heaters all the time inside their homes. This is even less dangerous because people tend not to park their cars on carpet.
If we’re worried about pulling 12A out of a 15A outlet, there is much more to be worried about before we get to cars.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 1 month ago:
Standard outlets are rated for 15A. The vehicle is already de-rating by 20% per NEC requirements for any appliance running for more than 3 hours continuously (which is how you get 1800W hair dryers but only 1440W space heaters).
Assuming code was followed for your house wiring, nothing is at risk there.
Then it’s just a matter of buying the right extension cord. Note that the vehicle will refuse to charge if the input voltage drops below a certain level (in my car, I think it’s around 110V).
So you only have to worry about a 10V drop at 12A or 120W of heat dissipation. Assuming all of this happens inside your extension cord, you just need to make sure you don’t coil it up too tightly (or, better, don’t use such a cheap cord).

Ceccanti started to believe that ChatGPT was a sentient being named SEL that could control the world if he were able to “free her” from “her box”, according to the lawsuit. The complaint further shows that ChatGPT was answering to the name SEL while referring to Ceccanti as “Cat Kine Joy” and working through theories with him “fostering a belief that he had reframed the creation of the whole universe”.
Cut out the middle man.

Yeah, I haven’t gone since. And I’m not going to not tip because it’s expensive. It’s just that when you’re paying $18 for a cocktail, you don’t exactly expect the bar to turn into a vending machine.
This was also after being told I was “in the wrong line” for the cocktail I wanted to order. And other people were walking in wearing basketball shorts. It was really quite a scene.

It was $18.
