One of the scienc-y YouTubers said, IIRC, around 400V.

I wish this were true only around Christmas. Goddamn mountain Germans!

Remind me where that quote is from

It helps to think before hitting Send.

God, I hate those people who send off half a text, then a correction, then the other half, all within 5 seconds.

1. Economy of scale doesn’t apply any more.
2. No-one is price-gouging the farmer.

When you ignore the other 99% of the tech tree and just develop that one branch.

In my youth I watched a TV chef explain that mushing garlic is bad because it would taste too strong. They (don’t quote me on this) either sliced it or used it whole. But then half a bulb. 🤦

I think this is just fried together with whatever it is you’re seasoning. The idea is that the taste dissolves in the fat and carries over to the steak, for instance. The garlic is then taken out before serving.

Not for long.

These were just the numbers I grabbed off Wikipedia on the fly.

I take it modern phones are thickest at the camera? Do you hold your phone there?

iPhone Air: 5.64mm. First iPhone: 11.6mm.

So have phones become thicker again?

One of my gripes with smart phones: They’re so thin that they’re unergonomic to hold, which makes them prone to slip out of my hand. So I need a protective cover, which makes them thicc again.

I can’t understand how this is still a thing. Everybody, and I mean literally everybody, even subsaharan illiterates have had to fill out a form where the lines are 3mm apart and 8mm wide. And still, when it’s time to design a form themselves, they think putting down a few underscores in font size 3 1/4 is enough.

AAAAAHHH!!!

What would be a reason to exclude Australia? It’s huge, surrounded by ocean and has unique wildlife.

You could discount Antarctica because without all the ice it’s just an archipelago.

I would have hoped it had something to do with tectonic plates
