- Comment on Ironing 3 days ago:
I came here to say this. I go into zen mode when ironing my clothes because I only have to do it when I’m either celebrating or doing something very important to me.
All these other things to worry about, but right now, my only enemy is this wrinkle next to the collar.

Crazy how you managed to photoshop the decimal point to the left by so many digits!
(I know, it’s only a partial payment)

BTR5 on LDAC + wired headphones/IEMs have been doing wonders for me.
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 4 days ago:
No, it’s $31.07. You likely combined the 92 cents and 18 cents to a dollar instead of a dollar and 10 cents.

3 days worth of food? Maybe 3 meals for a child, not 3 days.

By utilizing the Choose 2 combo, the total cost (assuming same delivery cost and adjusted tax) would be about $25 dollars including a 20% tip (based on total and not subtotal, as in the picture). However, that would include a medium pizza instead of a small pizza.
It’s not a massive difference. It is definitely a meaningful difference, but it’s still pretty costly for 2 meals worth of food.

That is basically what a seamount is, yes.
- Comment on This has been your weekend PSA 6 days ago:
Lol… I have never heard of this before. I think it would help halfway, but it won’t induce much stirring inside of the can, which is more important than just throwing more cold molecules of water at it.
- Comment on This has been your weekend PSA 6 days ago:
The main reason spinning a can works is because it induces convection inside and outside of the can, which contributes to more collisions and better distributions of collisions. If the warmest soda is in the middle of the can, the cold molecules near the can walls will reach a temperature similar to the ice bath and thud the rate at which heat is transferred becomes stunted.
For lettuce, you’d have better luck finding a way to pass cold water between the leaves, much like having fins on a heatsink (surface area).
- Comment on This has been your weekend PSA 6 days ago:
Sorry, saturation is not the right word to describe it. I was thinking of the ice/water analogy and I mistakenly applied it to my heatsink analogy.
The correct limit to the heatsink analogy would a function of the thermal dissipation of the heatsink (material, surface area, thermal resistance) and the qualities of the surrounding fluid (ambient temp, flow, etc). Honestly, my comparison between the ice/water example and heatsinks is not good. It is only appropriate in reference to the “molecular collisions” concept I mentioned before.
- Comment on This has been your weekend PSA 6 days ago:
By spinning the can in ice water, it increases the rate of transfer of heat energy from the can (and its contents) to the ice water. It’s like how stirring the ice in a cup of not-cold water will melt the ice / cool the water faster.
At a molecular level, you would see an increase in the number of collisions between ice molecules and liquid molecules. The collisions must occur for heat transfer to happen, so more collisions = more cooling. It is also the same reason why a heatsink can draw more heat from a processor when a fan blows air over it (until the air is saturated with heat).

Pepperoni pineapple pizza (PPP?) is underrated. Bonus points for mushroom and jalapeno. And maybe onion.

The co-op sucks, but I’m pretty certain invasions don’t occur unless you summon somebody.
If you’re adamant about playing co-op without invasions, you have to mod the game, unfortunately.

I’m not particularly picky, any fruit will do!

Bacon, eggs, hashbrown, an english muffin, and a glass of milk… is what I would say if I were a teenager again. I’ll probably just have an english muffin, a cup of tea, and a fruit.

What does the GT stand for? I’m unfamiliar with the acronym, as it seems schools across the nation use different terms to describe the same thing.

One can both celebrate the good and criticize the bad. This article seems to focus on criticism, which does not exactly mean it’s an exaggeration.
I think you missed the point.

I heard people got respiratory cancers specifically from being in the military and having been instructed to burn piles of trash without proper safety equipment.
And then they got discharged, fucked over sideways by the VA, and died. Welp.

Interesting that a mycologist has 0 posts or comments regarding mushrooms/fungi prior to this post. Not that you have to, but rather that both of my mycologist friends are extremely enthusiastic about talking about it.

Thanks for letting everyone know that you can’t learn beyond a surface-level understanding. Quite impressive - one does not get to meet such dull people very often.
