They don’t want to show both because that would show readers exactly when a couple thousand new accounts all start talking about one polarising topic to get everyone agreeing.
- Comment on Is there an increasing trend in the fear of germs/contamination (Mysophobia/Germophobia) ever since Covid-19, or is it just me? 1 week ago:
I don’t even think there was an increasing trend DURING C19
I didn’t live in a big town during the happenings, but would regularly see people openly coughing, touching their faces and touching absolutely everything they can.
I’m just amazed we didn’t wipe out more of the population

Ahh that makes a lot more sense
Cheers for the clarification

Oh nice one, that’s kinda cool
See I thought the curie temperature was a ‘one and done’ sort of deal where you have to go through the process of remagnetizing the magnet after it had gone beyond that point.

Not sure where they said they “did an entire presentation on this thing” or where they got their information from. I’m only adding some context to what I know of how thermostats work. I would gladly admit I’m wrong if provided with some evidence.
If you want a visual demonstration of a thermostat working here’s a video.
(For context I don’t mean to come across as one of those “well ackshually” asshats, I just like watching people take apart electronics (was also slightly obsessed with magnets as a kid. MANY hard drives were sacrificed to my curiosity lol).)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature I doubt they’re using magnets, especially considering how hot they have to get to lose their magnetism as you suggest.
Most thermostats in electronics such as kettles and cookers use a bi-metallic strip inside, where the two metal layers expand at different rates. The contacts in the switch are physically pulled apart by the strip bending when the desired temperature is reached. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip
- Comment on Foldable solar panels 2 months ago:
If strength and weight wasn’t an issue then compact folding is entirely possible, considering how they’ve been using foldable solar panels on satellites since the early days of spaceflight
A rolled panel however would have to use very thin and small cells, which would be less efficient
- Comment on Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology" 2 months ago:
Todd Cutler is a solid creator who goes over production of medieval era armour and weaponry such as longbows, warbows and the reality of armour such as plate, maille and gambesons.

That’s… Maybe not going to be the easiest of things to order at the bar, I mean you might get one but it probably wont quench your thirst.
