- Comment on What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower? 4 weeks ago:
From the energy perspective, you need a certain amount to increase the temperature of the snow form initial temperature to over 0°C, and another amount to overcome the latent heat (heat of transformation) from solid ice to liquid water.
The latter, the heat of transformation, has been used for making ice cream whitout a refrigerator: Melting ice cubes in a large bowl with the help of salt was used as a cooling agent to freeze the container of smaller bowl placed inside the larger one. - Comment on Any FOSS alternatives to macrodroid/Tasker? 4 weeks ago:
The actions, e.g. “Keep screen on” are to be specified in a “Profile” of your choice, e.g. create a new, empty one.
To apply this “Profile” based on the app and battery level, you have two options:
Either create an empty “Event” where you specify both, battery level and foreground app (application sensor).
Or: Create an Event for the app with medium priority and assign a high priority to the standard “battery low” event, e.g. 10.

Tbf, the article is from 2018. It possibly has changed in the meantime.

Yet, the Medusa wasn’t involved in that story.
- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 5 weeks ago:
Recently it has become a problem that optical twins of legit URLs exist, where some letters have been replaced by alike letters from different alphabets, see e.g. the list in this link.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 5 weeks ago:
Doesn’t “hot water” refer to what you can get out of the faucet, so like 60 °C (140 °F), not boiling water?

I guess a bread knife works pretty well for slicing roast, i.e. the dish, not raw meat.

Indeed.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
practice pushing the gas pedal just enough to hold the engine at 3000 RPM or so. Not making crazy racing noises, just a nice steady “the engine is running normal-fast-ish”
Depending on the type of car, this might usually be somewhere between 1500 and 2000 RPM, 3000 RPM are more typical for a sports car.

There is no force without interaction, just linear momentum.

- Comment on Why aren't the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Red Sea, the Baltic etc. considered Gulfs? 1 month ago:
According to its German Wikipedia article, the Caspian Sea is called sea and not lake only because of its size and salinity, not because it matches the relevant definitions of a sea.

At least in Germany, the communal tax related to the house are payed indirectly from the tenants via the landlord.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 2 months ago:
Indeed the regulator, e.g. the Bundesnetzagentur, will knock on your door and inspect your radio and wifi devices. That way, some years ago they’ve found a malefunctioning radio alarm clock in my area.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 2 months ago:
Some parts of the spectrum in between 2.4 and 5 GHz are used by the mobile communication standards LTE and 5G (also higher frequencies). GSM, DVB-T, and FM radio operate at lower frequencies.

- Comment on Do zinc tablets and toothpaste counteract each other in the mouth? 3 months ago:
Why are you taking zinc? I was under the impression that intaking zinc is a terrible idea and should be avoided at all cost.
Zinc is necessary for our body to make use of vitamine C. That’s why both are often combined in tablets.
The problem when welding brass or zinc coated metals ist the amount of zinc one is expoed to is uncontrollably high. Therefore one can get an zinc intoxication. Another point is that zinc oxide nano particles which are produced when welding are inhaled causing lung damage.

The comic lists tall structures existing in this moment. Aside from not starting at ground level, as an experiment, the space tether does not persist until today.

- Comment on U.S. start-up unveils ‘world’s largest’ transparent organic PV window 4 months ago:
Maybe, as heating is contained in the term “HVAC”, there is no real contribution to heating beside perhaps better isolation, and HVAC was used beside only the “VAC” part being affected.

No offense taken.

I would suggest it’s the shadow the flame throws onto the coat of the glass maker, as they probably had a light source behind the camera while filming.
