You mean like the convection oven I use for baking?

What’s pictured here is the Finite Element Method. Basically, the bridge is composed into little chunks, on which the physics solution is approximated by e.g. linear functions. Then one has to assemble and solve a system of equations (the matrix shown here) to determine the coefficients (i.e. slope) of those linear functions. Putting everything together gives a piecewise-linear approximation of the physics solution, and the smaller you make the chunks the better your solution gets. All of this is of course not done by hand, that’s what computers are for.

Fine for stainless steel. If you do this to cast iron pans, though …

My day is ruined

Crazy that you mention gas before groceries, when food is one of the few things you absolutely need to survive

It really depends on what you’re getting in return. If your taxes paid for your healthcare and education, things would be different

Every car I’ve ever driven with such a feature only shuts off when in neutral and you let go of the clutch. For short stops, I just stay in first gear and keep the clutch pressed.

looked like a quarter but was only a half

A half is more than a quarter?

Cycle to work

Sounds like Durak?

Do you keep a constant VPN connection to your home network?

No, it’s not. We all know that we cannot afford to put any more CO2 into the atmosphere. So reasonably, any new CO2 that is emitted would have to be (permanently) removed via carbon capture. That would be the true cost of emitting CO2, but instead, these effects are externalized to global society as a whole, making gas at the pump artificially cheap by cheating everyone else.

Awww, did someone get addicted to unsustainable energy sources that are artificially cheap due to externalized costs?

Edit: For context, the highest price shown in this picture is still 32% cheaper than gas was in Germany BEFORE your genius president decided to start a war, and around 42% cheaper than it is now. And seeing as we’re still burning fossils like there’s no tomorrow, it is apparently not nearly expensive enough yet.

An apple!? Couldn’t you just get rolling papers at the gas station?

I use en- and em-dashes religiously in my LaTeX documents, and I’m not going to start using the wrong kind of dash on purpose. Might as well abandon grammar while we’re at it.

‘universal HDD compatibility’ means all their devices can handle SAS drives, right? Right??

Yet, he was building capital. If you try to put away as much money as possible by living as frugally as possible, that does not make your financial situation ‘bad’.

I have my AP connected with a trunk link and configured to offer different SSIDs for different VLANs. I connect IOT devices to the IOT WiFi, and home assistant can see them since the machine running it is connected to that VLAN as well. Apart from the initial setup, this feels like less of a hassle, as firewall rules are already set up for this VLAN (no connection to internet or other VLANs). If I had to manually make sure that every new IOT device I add is incapable of talking to the internet, I think I’d go mad.

How tall do you have to be for 120kg to be near death?

Yes, in that case the dependence is quadratic, a special case of polynomial
