  Agreed.

  If you’re gonna steal groceries, might as well pick up stuff that the dealer needs and deliver them to his door for full price + delivery fee.

  With how crazy prices are getting at the supermarket, might as well start selling smuggled eggs from dark corners…

  Right? What devilry holds them up like that, and how are they so neatly aligned, almost like in a line??

  Throw them in the fire!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but that’s just one part of the process. Compared to actual chemical energy in the source fuel, most plants

  If nothing else, there’s an absolute efficiency limit from Carnot’s theorem. Even for the most modern and efficient gas plants, the limit seems to be ~60%, and for nuclear or coal, it’s much lower at around 30-40%.

  I call it Bytejunkium, but I don’t think it catched on.

  …they found a clever way to induce a current using temperature differentials between the molten salt and some sort of coolant mass?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But you’d have to allow the sun to leak out of the donut, which may not be OSHA approved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I refuse to believe this.

  You’re telling me that Humanity is able to understand what goes on at the heart of stars, and is on the brink of being able to harness that power (“Soon TM”), and the best we can come up with is a big tea kettle? I’m not buying it.

  There’s got to be a better way of capturing all that energy - like, solar panels but for other types of radiation? Or if that’s not possible because wavelengths or something , maybe make something glow and use normal panels? Or like, can’t we take a particle accelerator and flip it around and pull energy from the particles that go zooming?

  I’m sure there’s a reason why all of that is hard, but surely not impossible?

  The author seems to be implying that they’d get their tongue stuck in Perlica’s pit creases, if you know what I mean.

  And we conquer that fear daily. Many could be tempted to attribute that to our bravery, our grit, our resolve. They’d be overlooking the simple explanation that some of us fear hunger and cold slightly more than we do the grueling and backbreaking 9-to-howlongisitreallyfuckineedtosleep hours.

  I thought it was calling someone childish and immature, like, “come back when your balls drop”.

  w my boys, good job showing that men don’t turn to slobbering buffoons at the sight of breasts, no matter how shapely. It’s always a choice, and unless you’re roleplaying something kinky, it’s always the wrong one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m probably just really tired, but why would people expect that? Posting cool stuff is a huge service that I’m really grateful for, I wouldn’t have such an amazing feed without all of you guys who are active posters, if anything you should be offered uh… services, if so desired, not requests to provide them wtf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨owo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s actually a good example for how I see it. If you could push amps, you’d fill the capacitor without having to pull from the other side, but that doesn’t happen, only a tiny amount of current gets in depending on how strong the other side is pulling, which is very little.

  In any case this is just mostly about colloquialisms and convention, because neither is an accurate description of the physics behinds it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨owo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m lost. How do you “push amps”? Technically it’s just Ohm’s law, and “pulling” or “pushing” are only colloquial terms, but in regular usage, a device “pulls” or “draws” a specific current.

  The definition of voltage kinda supports this, because voltage isn’t something that exists at a single point, like pressure - you can measure pressure in a single point of a fluid, for example, but not so with voltage: it’s the difference in potential between two different points.

  I’m trying to think of something like a taser gun, where you’re kinda trying to “push amps” through some body, but even then there’s two barbs that need to hit, if one of them fails you don’t get the jolt (as far as I understand it, please correct me if I’m wrong), so if anything you’re “pulling” the current across with voltage.

  For some reason this reminded me of a “in between two ferns” interview, I don’t remember with who, where Galiakcnshjjkzzzz goes “I hear you’re very reserved and hate personal questions. So when did you first get your period?” and I thought that was so stupid that it was hilarious.

  Also with how expensive a plot of land is these days, no way we’re splurging for individual accommodations.

  Perhaps we could consider investigating the train of circumstances that have led you to sleep naked in the past, as I feel it may shed some light into the volatile rectum situations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are feet the human radiator?

  One would expect that an extremity that is so far away from the core areas, with its limited blood flow and lack of any particularly relevant component, would be supremely inefficient at radiating heat.

  That is until you wake up feeling like an ice cube and grumpy enough to shoot the first thing that looks at you funny because one foot was uncovered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Best I can tell, the criteria for calling something “cheese” in America is containing 51% cheese.

  That’s just ridiculous. Either it’s cheese l, or it’s a product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is that cheddar is yellow, not orange, unless they add colouring specifically to make it orange.
