Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s who. I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t make a difference. As a matter of fact, I’m kinda curious to find out how much text can you dump in here. If you’re like really verbose, you could go on and on about any pointless…[no more than this]

The cost of perfection is infinite.
You can just drop them all in the square hole. Triangles, semicircles, arches, doesn’t matter. All of them go into the square hole.

Wow! I was so sure that circles and pentagons were closely related. Who would have known.
I expected to see microbes here first. Insects have a slower reproduction cycle, so evolution should take longer.
Doing chemistry by mixing chemicals is like fumbling in the dark. You tend to have ridiculously low yield, because you can’t really control which reaction takes place. It’s just a game of probabilities, which makes this gamble really expensive.
Living cells are doing chemistry the right way by combining specific materials and making specific products. Enzymes are very picky, but with them you can actually control the reactions. Making enzymes is just next level complexity and a story for another time.
Maybe hundreds of years from now we can synthesize nutrients without involving any living cells. At that point, it could be seen as unethical to enslave, murder and eat billions of microbial cells. For the time being, our life still depends on other living things, so better get comfortable with having mixed feelings about survival.
Yeah, but what if you had deathstar levels of power at your disposal? It’s not going to be merely laser ablation at that point, now is it?could you really blow up the whole moon, just like Alderaan?
But it is still unpopular, so it belongs right here, now doesn’t it? Being right or wrong isn’t in the definition, so either way is fine.
If it’s wrong, there’s probably a good reason why it’s unpopular. If it’s true, we can have a very interesting discussion.
I can imagine how these workers would constantly monitor the temperature of the fire and add more coal when necessary.
I wonder how a (software) daemon would fit in. It would just take care of various background stuff and nobody would notice it until something goes wrong.
Fair enough. We’re going to assume it’s completely safe until proven otherwise. Vulcanologists can tell you that the viscosity can be pretty high, so there could be a choking hazard though. Further study would be needed to determine the exact nature of potential hazards.
Be careful though. If you keep on digging deeper and deeper, you’ll find magma. That’s not a bad deal either, because you can use that heat to run a geothermal power plant.
So much that people have started making DIY stuff out of them.
Wait what… Are you saying that Ireland didn’t have a bottle returning system before? What happened to all the bottles and cans before that? Did you just throw all of that in the trash?
At least that follows some mathematical logic. Mohs scale of hardness is pretty close to pT scale in that sense, but there’s no mathematics or logic involved. It’s just a list of standard materials that define specific points on the scale. When you compare the results with a more logical scale, it looks neatly non-linar at first glance, but the closer you look, the less sense it makes. It’s just a list of exceptions to whatever rule you may have had in mind.
Doesn’t mean it’s a useless scale. You can totally use it for qualitative assessment of hardness, but steer clear of it when numbers and decimals actually matter.
It’s only fair to give credit when credit is due. Doesn’t mean I like that unit, but I can see where they’re coming from.
Others have already explained what a salt is. As you may know, there are lots of different salts, but what do they taste like? This video answers that question.
You could totally make an extra cursed temperature scale. Randall proposed the °X scale, but maybe we can do better than that. That was pretty cursed because it defines three points based on statistics observed on of Earth and uses linear interpolation to connect the dots.
I propose an extra cursed system that uses completely fictional values. Let’s take -π as the melting point of unicorns and +GrahamsNumber as the peak temperature in the core of the hypothetical planet Vulcan. Between the two points you can fit any seventh degree polynomial you like in order to get the values that fit your needs. On Wednesdays you can use a sine wave too.
There’s a word for that: jobby
As you said, it’s not healthy to turn every hobby into a jobby. The best thing about hobbies is the lack of urgency and technical criteria. The whole point is to do it for fun.
