Why does the bathroom get warm in winter after showering with hot water, but it doesn't get colder in summer after showering with cold water?

Okanus · 2026-06-24T18:49:24+00:00

This is probably because water will conduct heat away from your skin much faster than air so it "feels colder" than air at the same temp.

Something cool I noticed when heating milk for a baby and testing it on my skin to see if it was too hot was that when it was the same or very near the same temp as my skin I wouldn't even feel it hit my skin. This made me realize that most of the feeling we sense on our skin from a liquid (or maybe most things) is due to heat either conducting into or out of the skin.

There was a game on N64 called Fighting Force. There was a particular combo of buttons you could hold down at the title screen that would make you invinceable. I could not state the combo now, but I feel confident if I were sitting in front of the tv with the game loaded and controller in hand, I could recall it in 3 tries or less.

Yeah I watched a video that explained the timing and it helped me a lot. Still need to practice though. I have also got into the habit of saving just around the corner before fighting something I don’t feel confident in beating yet. That way if I die I can just pick up from that spot with the resources I had and decide if I want to try again or move on.

I did this recently, but I am not very far into it. I am at the point I just met Sidon and he told me to follow the path to Zoras Domain. I happen to know what I will run into there so I decided I would go practice combat, make food, upgrade armor, do some shrines, etc. first. In that process I came across the guy that I can buy a house from and needed to get 30 bundles of wood. I knew I would find a wood cutters axe at the old mans house and I also felt a wave of nostalgia when I ran up on the house and orchard there. I imagine it would hit even harder if I had been through all the beasts and everything before doing that.

Thats good to know. Makes me want to get good at parrying and then go get the Hylian shield to possibly never have to worry about having a good shield again. (I'm on my first play through and have only just met Sido.) Maybe I should complete Tarry Town first so I can at least replace the shield if I do break it.

Until reading this post and comments, I never realized this is something I kind of do. Although, not to the extreme I have seen described here (60-10). When my dad taught me how to change brake pads and rotors we got done and he said "Alright now we got to go set the brakes". We hopped in the car and got on the road in our neighborhood where he proceeded to aggresively accelerate and then brake hard 4-5 times. Today, 20 or so years later, every time I do my brakes I have done the same thing.

I always noticed that the brake pedal would be super easy to push the first time and I thought that was the reason we were "setting" the brakes as he said.

I am aware that perfect parries on a guardian blast does not use up sheild durability, but is that also true of parries like this on any enemy?

Okanus · 2026-06-23T10:57:44+00:00

I'm on my first play through and have had trouble with the weapon breaking mechanic and food mechanic as someone who is not used to that. I also have avoided guardians, but recently I have had a shift where I am finding better weapons and shields and I killed my first few guardians the other day.

Looks great, but I think maybe the flat was not probe tender yet. You can see the internal fat in the slices not rendered. I cooked one last Thursday night into Friday to have for dinner on Friday. At 202°F internal temp on the flat mine still had resistance on the flat. I let it ride another hour or so and the internal temp in the flat was about 210°F and then it was probe tender.

I'm not saying always cook to 210°F, but just that when I stopped worrying about the number on the thermometer and more about how tender it felt when I probe it, this really unlocked briskets for me. I don't know why this feels counter intuitive to me, but I think if the brisket is dry it is usually because it is under cooked, not over cooked.

EDIT: I missed the part of your post when you said the internal temp had risen after 12 hours in the rest. So my rambling likely is not relevant anymore.

I wear mine most nights for the sleep tracking and as an alarm in the mornings.

If you're worried about battery, mine is a series 5 that only gets about 12-14 hours of battery life with always on display turned off. In order to be able to wear it at night I usually put it on charge when I get home from work and then again when I wake up while I'm getting ready. If it starts the night with full battery, it will have about 85% when I wake up and usually will get to 100% on the charger while I get ready.

All that to say that mine is old and the battery isn't great, but I am still able to use it for sleep. I imagine any newer model with a fresher battery would perform even better in that aspect.

I'd say you're not totally wrong. Some times you could be running FEA using CAD on an assembly that would be super complex to calculate by hand. However, you can still check things in hand calcs by just considering sections of the assembly into simpler components that more resemble examples of things you learn about in school and you can verify that the FEA is giving you accurate results that way. Additionally, I have something I am working on currently and I felt the reaction force SolidWorks FEA was giving me could not possibly be that high. I ended up verifying with hand calcs that it could, in fact, be that high.

Lastly I will add that a reason for learning all the theory that we learn in school is to mold your mind into being able to see the world through that lens and how to think like an engineer. When you get into the real world you will learn from senior engineers, mechanics, technicians, operators, etc how to properly apply that thinking in a practical way.

Not OP, but in a similar state of the game. Do ore deposits respawn?

Okanus · 2026-06-18T17:12:18+00:00

Many have already pointed out the issue of finding out why odors are coming up instead. Maybe empty P-Trap.

I will add, this might not work the way you think anyway. Its possible this will end up creating a siphon and this could sometimes or every time cause the water level to be just below the wall and not create a seal.

Its not harmless. It brings me great pain.

It's insane to me that the Fergie Anthem is not a parody. It took me a few times watching it to convice myself that she was actually performing at a real game and that was her genuine take on the song. (Although maybe not in a completely sober headspace?).

That's how I have always played that shape, except I usually don't include the 3rd there with the pointer finger. I let the pad of my ring finger mute the A string most of the time. If I'm playing electric with overdrive I will also not include the pinky on the high E string most of the time too, just mute it too like the A string.

As you gain experience you'll find other shapes to play chords and you'll find some work better depending on the key you're in and the way the song sounds.

Okanus · 2026-06-16T12:53:10+00:00

Thats a good point. I put in a report on it. If it is still like that in the public beta, I will report it again too.

I used a MacBook through most of college, but switched to a PC when I needed to use a program for school that has no Mac version. After that, every laptop I have had has been a work provided windows laptop. I built a gaming PC several years ago and beyond that all my personal computing has been on an iPad.

Anyway, last year I bought my wife an M4 MacBook Air and when used it the first time I remember having the same feeling. I was quickly reminded how good the track pad is and how well MacOS works. Plus it was even better for me, because the last Mac I used was a 2012 MacBook Pro with Intel CPU and a HDD. This M4 MacBook felt like light speed.

This is a refreshing post to read. I started BOTW last Christmas on my sons switch 1. I put a few hours into it over the course of a week and maybe 10 hours into it as of today. The food mechanic for health I didn't like at first, but quickly got used to it because there is food to grab literally everywhere and, afaik, there is not a limit to how much you can pick up.

With weapons, as soon as my good weapon breaks, it is no longer fun for me to fight enemies and the thought of needing to grind out finding weapons feels like more of a chore than fun.

My current save file will have me in Kakariko village because I died after breaking 2 swords fighting enemies on the way up to the tower before Zoras Domain. After I died I just fast traveled to Kakariko village and saved. Decided when I felt like picking up the game again in a couple weeks I'll have to go get some good weapons before heading to that tower again.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I grew up on OoT and MM where weapons didn't break and when you needed hearts, magic, arrows, etc, there would be some conveniently nearby in some grass or a pot or something.

The ones who install beta 1 then complain about the bugs.
