In January 1783, Price returned to his laboratory in Guildford, ostensibly to start production of the miraculous powders. In fact, he set about the distillation of laurel water (which contained hydrogen cyanide, commonly known as prussic acid). He wrote his will at the same time, but it was another six months before he returned to London to invite members of the Royal Society to witness the experiment on 3 August in his laboratory in Guildford.

Despite the claimed successes of his initial demonstrations and the furor they had caused, only three members turned up in Guildford on the appointed day. Although clearly disappointed by the poor turnout, Price welcomed the three men and then, stepping to one side, ended his life by drinking the flask of laurel water he had prepared. The three men immediately noticed a change in his appearance, but before they could do anything, Price had died of cyanide poisoning.

Good explanation. Crop rotation also decreases plant diseases and insect damage.

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.

Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.

Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).

Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.

If your cup measurements are not the same you need new measuring cups.

In the US, sticks of butter have tablespoon measurements printed on the label, like this: https://www.errenskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/butter-sticks.jpg

Most people leave the sticks of butter in the fridge with the wrappers on. If you want X tablespoons of butter, you cut through the wrapper and butter at the right mark.

I’m not saying it’s an ideal system (I also prefer recipes that use weights) but it works.

Just a small note: the pressures in this chart are absolute, not gauge. In everyday usage (like talking about tire pressure) we mean gauge pressure - that is, the difference in pressure from atmospheric pressure.

Your overall point is well taken (the change in temperature doesn’t matter much), but the numbers will be slightly different. For example, a tire filled to 100 psig (gauge) will reach 106.496 psig at 100 deg F, versus 105.663 in the original chart (assuming 14.7 psia atmospheric pressure).

It looks like it regularly goes on sale that cheap on Amazon, at least in my region:

I guess Freud was right

Out of curiosity, what source do you use for gun violence data? The Gun Violence Archive puts the number of non-suicide gun deaths at almost 19,000 in 2023. I’m sure there are other groups running their own estimates though, and I’m curious how the methodology and results differ.

If you’re measuring the temperature in the room currently, you could try trending it yourself. Start the heater, and see how quickly the temperature rises (e.g., degrees per hour). Call this Rate 1.

Then turn off the heat and see how quickly the temperature drops. Call this Rate 2. For the formula below, make it a positive number.

Assuming the weather conditions are similar and the room temperature doesn’t change too much during data collection:

Rate of heat loss = Heater power * Rate 2 / (Rate 1 + Rate 2)

This number could be impacted by the weather: temperature, wind and insolation (affected by time of day, time of year, latitude, and cloud cover). It’s also impacted by room conditions (temperature, slade position, how many times the door is opened), so you’d need to do a few trials to get a sense for thr impact of different variables.

You’ve probably already thought of this, but your strategy is going to result in noticeable swings in temperature in the room, because ypure going to do a lot of heating at once when prices are cheap, then turn off the heating and let the room cool. Compare that to a thermostat that tries to maintain a constant temperature.

Sounds like a fun project - good luck! I’d love to hear updates here as you go.

The most intuitive analogy to federation to me is email. You may have an account with one provider (gmail.com in the example of email, or lemmy.world in the example of Lemmy) but you can send emails to other providers (email example) or post messages to other instances (Lemmy).

Just like with email providers, a Lemmy instance may decide not to allow communication with another instance - this is “defederation.” Instances that allow communication are “federated.”

Just like email, you don’t normally need to worry much about whether you are on the same instance as a particular community or user - it just works.

This is a simplification, but for me is a good working model.

Fair enough - I spent a few weeks there for work. People were friendly.

Terre Haute has federal death row, Rose-Hulman, and Square Donuts. Am I missing anything?

I didn’t watch the entire video either, but early he talks about HSAs in the context of which types of FSA is available for people on high- deductible plans with an HSA.

Distribute the pi on the right side of your equality, and replace c with pi*d:

c+x = pi*(d+2)

pid+x = pid + pi*2

x = pi*2

To generalize for an height h,

x = pi2h

Edit: I did some weird markup, but won’t be fixing it

Sadly, no - take a look at his XTwitter profile. Almost entirely climate change-denying retweets.
