It is possible to get IR radiation out almost directly to space, its the same principle for why clear nights are always colder- no cloud layer to bounce the IR back at the surface and keep it warm
- Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate 3 days ago:
I did watch a real good set of videos by Tech Ingredients, the chap’s gotta be either a lecturer (and) or his special interest is DIY-ing everything from pulse detonation rocket engines (that turned out better than the ones ol muskrat’s using) to using an underground heatsink made of plastic tubing and carbon saturated cement outside his workshop for an in-window AC unit, turning an 800W drain down to a 300W drain for the same cooling.
He was using some kind of fine particle paint to create a large Infrared radiating surface that shed heat so well it got below ambient air temp because it was shedding IR directly up out into space
The only unfortunate limit is shielding it from catching any outside radiation and making sure all the IR actually leaves the system, he had to build a shade to protect it from trees and buildings which would have been effectively shining IR back into the system.

Im sure that this doesn’t violate the laws of thermodynamics, but the headline makes it sound like this magics away the heat without using electricity or putting the heat anywhere.

This is that. Don’t use google. Stop supporting corporations that openly tell you they’re supporting not just the unfetterd harvesting of data but also use said data to support countries currently committing Genocide.

I don’t know, after seeing one of those pans with a proper shine on it in a meme, I’d love to see the colour changes from oxidation when you re-season it
- Comment on Good night sweet prince 2 weeks ago:
Had a stainless pan go like this after a bout of the big sad, all it took to make it into a mirror was a bit of elbow grease, a scourer pad and some bleach.

You fell for the propaganda and slurped it right up like good cattle.
She wasn’t a protestor or even AT a protest.
She had just dropped her kid at school and her partner elsewhere.
She was part of a line of traffic that was CAUSED by a protest.

- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 weeks ago:
Does anyone remember where games would respect the autonomy of the player enough that they’d actually let you lock yourself out of an ending, where there was an actual game over state your decisions could lead you to?
I still remember the point where the pile of notes my sibling made for Riven (the Myst sequel) was taller than the 6 CD jewel case it came in.

- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 3 weeks ago:
It’s almost like the whole thing is a spectrum, where people that have it feel the same emotions as neurotypical people, but they feel them more intensely.
There’s also something to be said for admitting 5hat if your child is neurodivergent then you as a parent are probably neurodivergent
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 3 weeks ago:
Think of it this way; 70% of the planet is water. Of that water only 2.5% is fresh water, 68% of that is held in glaciers. About 1% of the fresh water on earth is liquid.
That 1% is the absolute maximum quantity of what’s used for drinking, and the steps between ground/reservoir water and the tap in your home involve MASSIVE quantities of electricity and effort to make it so it won’t kill you.
What you’re suggesting doing is turning the tap on and sending that fresh drinkable water right back into the sewer to generate a miniscule amount of power, since the average tap pressure at 1 bar means you’ll be making sub 100W of power, hardly enough to power the big light in your kitchen if it’s got more than two incandescent bulbs or spotlights, let alone a kettle or a microwave.

You know where you cand find out if a cafe or restaurant will be closed? A search provider with the words [cafe name] opening times. Shit mate, google maps has the opening times.
If you’re seeing recommendations for a place on tiktok, it’s already ultra touristic, and is in no way shape or form hidden.
And surely you’re going to find accurate and up to date unbiased information about these ‘dangerous neighbourhoods’ from tiktok, you’re surely not just going to be faced with a wall of thinly veiled racism on there at all.
You’d really let someone else do all your thinking for you, and then posting a video touting their opinions as facts.

Use before:yyyy/mm/dd and/or after:yyyy/mm/dd in the search box to specify date ranges, and search for results before 2020 to remove all the AI slop.
Much easier than giving away your data to a company known for spreading misinformation, pushing AI content and genuinely worsening social interactions online and in real life.

These days running into other players is far more common on the Expeditions fue to all the players having the same goal and quest pathing, but you still bump into real people the closer you are to the galactic center in the regular game modes.
In terms of the ‘boring samey planets’ when was the last time you played? Because with the current terrain generation, water effects, gas giant systems, fully submerged worlds and new fauna/flora generation I’ve yet to find any planets that were identical.
