Pixel of Life

I hope you realize that floating objects generally orient themselves in such a way that the most buoyant parts are at the top. So while you could float around, you would be hanging by your balls the entire time…

Oh no, now someone will have to write a bot to scrape the ToS once a day or something, and push it to Github if it has changed.

This is technically possible. The cosmic microwave background, i.e. space, is extremely cold (barely above absolute zero) so it basically acts as a heatsink you can pump infinite amounts of heat into. It turns out that if you can make the food radiate heat out into space and prevent it from absorbing more heat from sunlight, it’s possible to cool it below ambient temperature. This is also a completely passive process so it requires no electricity or other form of active energy input.

The problem with this is that doing it with food might be impossible. At the moment, we can only really do it using objects with special coatings that have been optimized for this purpose.

Here’s a couple interesting videos that explain how it works:

You conveniently left out the definition of “good” so you can move the goalposts if you don’t like the answers you get.

They’re grellow.

It’s all fun and games until you end up stuck on an ancient spaceship billions of lightyears from home because you accidentally blew up the planet.

Rivian CEO should keep his mouth shut until a few grand gets you a used compact electric hatchback (VW Polo or similar) with a decent battery.

It’s not just about speed and acceleration. It’s also about control. Racing drivers face an infinite number of different conditions out on the track and it would be impossible to tune the transmission in such a way that it does exactly what the driver wants 100% of the time. And it really has to be perfect. 99.9% isn’t good enough because the other 0.1% can wreck the car if it does something unexpected while driving at the limit.

I have history turned on and it generally recommends stuff I’m interested in. My only complaint is that it doesn’t update often enough and likes to recommend videos I’ve seen already.

Yep. 27, Finland. I learned on a manual (in the EU, if you learn on an automatic, you’re restricted to automatics only until you pass the driving exam in a manual) and drove manuals until a few years ago when my late grandma’s health started declining and her car got passed down to us because she could no longer drive.

Nope. At best, religion is a fairytale created for those who are uncomfortable with ignorance, and at worst, it’s a tool to control gullible people.

Oh, I remember. Some of the games I played a lot would just crash if I had Xfire running in the background.

VOODOO 1, VIPER’S ON STATION. YOUR JOURNEY ENDS HERE, PILOT. THE SKIES BELONG TO ME. NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO HIDE.

What difference does it make if the temperature is 79 or 80 F? That’s a difference of about half a Celsius, and as a Celsius user, I can tell you that I don’t plan my daily life based on a half a degree difference, or even a one degree difference; 5 degree precision is almost always enough.

The seatbelt isn’t there just to keep you from flying through the windshield in a crash. It also keeps you in the proper seating position so you can reach the controls at all times, and reduces fatigue because you don’t need to brace yourself as much when going around corners or over bumps.
