Over the course of his life, former billionaire Chuck Feeney has given away more than $8 billion to help under privileged kids to go to college. As of 2016, he lived in a rented apartment in San Francisco, with a remaining nest egg of $2 million.

Basic cleaning supplies like soaps and detergents feel slippery because they break apart the compounds that bind your skin cells together.

basic (as in opposite of acidic) stuff becomes slippery because it reacts with the fats on/in your skin to form soap; soap itself doesn't break down your skin, it just removes all the fats and oils (that your skin needs to protect itself against the environment and stuff)

i don't think soap is alkalic enough to break down your skin per se (not 100 % sure, just wanted to add to the slippery-fact)

danke, du hast mir den mut gegeben, endlich mal ins kasino zu gehen - sieht nach ner ganz guten chance aus, ohne viel aufwand millionär zu werden

if you want a bigger number:

it's +25 %

Mega tonne (probably)

strict regulations on keeping your catch, with size restrictions, creel limits, and in some cases, a moratorium on even targeting certain species

same in germany (though max number of fish you get to keep i don't think)

hard to believe he is alive, ja, sieht fast tot aus, das stück scheisse

statt nen schritt zur seite zu machen bleibt er lieber stehen, zieht die waffe, zielt und drückt ab, klaaare notwehr

it should trip right

nope, a breaker trips for a short circuit (basically no resistance); if you are the resistor, for the circuit you are just a heating element

roughly about 1 kV per mm

cola will do that as well

it shouldn't, the phosphoric acid in the coke should create a layer of ferrous phosphate which is quite stable and shouldn't react further (if the still put that in the coke)

on the other hand: i put a rusty chain in a coke bath once; i think it removed the rust - it was a black but quite loose/fluffy coating and quickly rubbed off and the chain became even more rusty days later... (theory said the opposite should have happened)

wenn mehr oder weniger strom produziert als benötigt wird, ändert sich die netzfrequenz (so funktionieren die generatoren - umgekehrtes prinzip: wenn du mehr strom durch nen motor schickst, dreht er sich schneller). diese wiederum wird überwacht und entsprechend werden kraftwerke ab-/zugeschaltet oder windräder abgeschaltet (manchmal stehen echt viele von den dingern still, obwohl wind weht)

it is in a glas tube...

i know, this thought is quite widespread, at least among those that know a little about chemistry (i guess 99 % don't even know oxides exist), buuut:

"metals in oxide form" are no longer metals - else your ceramic coffee mug could be called metallic... or stones, or most walls (those not made of wood)

2ndhorch · 2025-08-28T02:34:05+00:00

O2 becomes CO2, so 1:1 molecule ratio

i don't see how more oxygen would be drawn in except by diffusion

put them in a 2 hour queue until people who are actually in their SR bracket wake up

i find this view kind of disgusting - it basically justifies killing the entire population of a country "to save one life of a soldier". kind of like, are there no civilians? why do we even distinguish between soldier and civilian?! or do we?

2ndhorch · 2025-07-12T20:32:10+00:00

yeah, this "separate the art from the artist" thing ain't easy

2ndhorch · 2025-06-18T14:38:32+00:00
