  Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

  Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

  Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

  Please share your experiment results Interesting data to know for each test would include:

  • sequence number of the test
  • temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
  • method of ice cube creation
  • volume of the ice cube
  • volume of water/ice mixture
  • depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
  • type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
  • did the ice cube sink
  • if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

  please also share your conclusion.

  You don’t scare me.
  AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.

  I will never get to 20, yay!

  People that use a keyboard spell out each word they type. They still need spellcheckers.

  Why? Do you think signing is done by spelling out words?

  It was not that long ago when Android changed my on screen keyboard to a different layout whenever I was in a different country. Really annoying - I don’t suddenly type in Danish when I’m on a business trip to Lyngby (near Copenhagen)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Middle name is not a thing where I live. People can have 1 or more given names (I know of people that have 9), but none of these are considered ‘middle name’.

  Do you really assume that language does not change if there is no AI involved in teaching? Try reading texts from a century – or even 50 years – ago.

  I am not an AI fan but your argument is just fearmongering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨am i stupid or are solar panel's efficiency independent on latitude⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m no specialist, but (1) don’t most solar panels have a fixed inclination and orientation? Depending on the location that will not be as optimal at each day of the year because of the tilt of the earth. (2) The weather/cliimate will have an effect too. Your 2nd image is apparently showing kWh/kWp - so the longer term yield (h=hours) divided by the theoreticall maximum (p=peak). So it shows longer term efficiency , vs the yield at a certain moment like you appear to be focusing on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sending intranet Email on a token ring network still used the same process as creating a Memo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That is what ‘automation’ often is. You take a working process, then let machines do as many steps in that process as you can. Harvesting crops, sending memos, robots spraypainting car parts, self driving cars (We still have a lot to do there)

  Building on that it gets even more interesting as we try to find better, or even completely new processes.
