Why are you punishing me by not letting me in your house to sleep in your bed and eat your food?

The point I'm trying to make is: it's not punishment to enjoy one's own culture, country, and fruits of risk and labor. It's not punishment to others to expect them to do the same for their cultures in their countries.

@xpaseqx If I don't pay, and the price goes up 10%, the price I don't pay goes up 10%. Why do I care? You're the chump, paying for stuff.

If you ever get a math equation wrong, just make it correct by changing the base system. For example, if you said 2+2=10, just clarify you were using base 4.

Idk why this comic gets me every time lol

Both are involved, also yes, I wouldn't call this common knowledge. Microwave heating is an energy transfer mechanism, thermal heat is generated in the soup water via primarily ionic conduction but also dipolar polarization, rate of thermal heat generation is determined by the soup's dielectric constant (ability to store or "absorb" electromagnetic energy), and dielectric loss factor (ability to convert electromagnetic energy into thermal heat), combined together called loss tangent. Water has a relatively low loss tangent of 0.118 (2450MHz at 25 °C), which means it's rather inefficient at this conversion process compared to other materials. Therefor, water doesn't generate a lot of heat from microwaves in the first place, it's specific heat is pretty high at 4.184J/g, up to 99 deg C, but then consumes ~500x more energy phase changing from liquid to vapor. That's why steam can burn the bejesus out of you and soup takes so long to heat up in a microwave oven.

@tuuu28283 Many of my MBA classmates were from East Asia. As a Texan, it was my responsibility to introduce them. Just look at that smile.

@MolitorisNick As a Texan, I've always admired Australian culture, especially some of the music, also Deanne Berry call on meeeeeee.

@Shorteverythin1 @TomasDemilechex @RevenRV ... and in Russia.

Replaceable tail/marker light bulbs, takes 5 minutes and costs $10 verses $800 for a sealed unit. Sealed LED headlights are acceptable.

Frame bolt holes for tow hitch, pre wired for harness. I like rear leaf springs.

Empty fuse block slots in engine and cab. Row of accessory switches (maybe din mounted so we can add/subtract/rearrange them) on dash.

Prefer normally aspirated I4 for longevity, or if necessary a larger turbo for highway push. No variable vane complexity. I'll dream of diesel and may swap mine for one.

While we're making things easily removable, let's include the front grill for engine access.

Front mounting holes in the frame for a winch plate. Heavy front springs option to support.

A landscape pop in mount for our phones on the dash with USB-C plug to under seat hub where we install the stereo amp. Boom, screen for navigation and stereo. Backup camera in the rear view mirror.

1980s retro future styling. Square body, proper paint colors (maybe event two tone).

Roll up windows on the driver's side, power on the right (an acute annoyance of mine).

Manual locking hubs in the wheel, manual transfer case shifter lever.

Itemize accessories, a la carte options e.g. rubber flooring and heated/cooled seats. Legacy mfg don't offer these types of combos.

Spaces under the seats or against the back wall for accessories such as inverters, cell boosters, radios, stereo amps, etc. A ground + 12v bus bar on a ~50a fuse.

Factory delivery option like old BMWs, Benz, etc.

Serviceable hubs (repack, not replace).

While I'm at it, make it a 48v system. Modbus/RS485 the entire wiring harness and sensors.

Flat dash with a shallow tub for setting cowboy hats, gloves, wallets, etc. on (see: my 2008 Super Duty dash).

@reoindustries Reserved #2,303, a manual 2d gas little brother for my full size manual 4d diesel. I thought I was going to have to build the truck myself or build the startup. Glad to see Texans taking the lead here.

[Torgrim @TorgrimKnutson]

You'd want a GB200/300 direct liquid cooling setup (Bitcoin miners call this hydro cooling) which uses a heat exchanger mated against the gpu/cpu, you'd use deionized water-glycol mix here, through a heat exchanger, second loop is your hot tub water. Or you can just drop the gpu into a Bitcool tank, like these we used for testing. I'd loan you one but Midland, Texas is a drive.

@haribalzac01 @Dr_TheHistories A portion can be 100% and a cow indeed has three legs. It could be written better.

@chiographer @PenguinWeb3 Useful for a depressive black metal album cover. Forlatt means abandoned in Norwegian.

[Torgrim @TorgrimKnutson]

@mr_benhart @HomaBashNews Indeed. I looked it up, it's 2,030 linear feet by 167 feet, or 339k sf. She meant linear I suspect.

@hthieblot EHOWA

[Torgrim @TorgrimKnutson]

Yall shouldn't be so mean to each other. I took years of physics in college and still it's often counterintuitive.

*things* in space can be very hot when they are exposed to sunlight (primarily visible light) or they generate their own heat (an ASIC or similar chip will run at ~70-80 deg C) because the thing (a Hydrogen atom, space rock, astronaut, GB300, etc.) receive this energy but can only dissipate/distribute it via infrared heat radiation (pretty crappy heat dissipation method imo) because there aren't any other things e.g. air molecules like on earth, to transfer the heat to via convection/conduction. So the thing just vibrates and heats up until it's temp equals the system's net energy (the thing's sun input or internal heat generation minus infrared emissions).

tl/dr things in space can be super hot, but space is super cold because energy can't transfer.

@oilmutt @SpaceX This guy didn't pay attention in safety class. You're not supposed to wear these on your helmet i.e. not above your breathing zone. Should be on his collar. It looks like a BW Clip which can detect H2S and CO.

Engaging in purposeful manual activities, verses talk therapy or antidepressants, disrupts negative thought loops, generates tangible progress, and mastery sensations. It rewires behavioral patterns to de-stress and restore equilibrium - insights intuitively developed by Winston Churchill in his bricklaying, a structured therapeutic approach using low-intellectual-load hand-eye crafts as a therapy for "brain intensive" workers.

@PlumbNick This was at the Mumbai train station two years ago. It's 90 degrees outside. That's fish waiting for transport inland. There was a significant smell.

@drewbars10 @elonmusk @POTUS @grok Please summarize Elon Musk's tax payment history, provide insight and perspective on his payments relative to other tax payers, history, and our current economy. Estimate the amount of taxes paid by employees of the portion of companies Musk was responsible for creating.
