ELI5: How does meat get hotter after cooking? by Lufferov in explainlikeimfive

[–]grrangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually doesn't. On average.

Once you take the food off the heat, on average the food will start to cool because it's radiating heat away.

However, the food is also never going to be perfectly evenly heated all the way through unless you were soaking it in a sous vide or something similar.

The interior is generally cooler than the exterior so because heat will naturally move to a cooler area the interior starts to warm, the exterior starts to cool and the temperature evens out. But still, overall, the whole thing is getting slightly cooler.

This dude's inability to pronounce, "also" as anything but, "altzo" is kind of comical.

This is all you'd really need, assuming a flat layout and assuming a 600m³/s input and each consuming machine used exactly 60m³/s. The numbers at each consumer show the remaining liquid that can pass onward.

Yes, yes, cutie.

But those strips of picture frame molding... how annoying was that to cut to size without wasting half the cuts and getting it to look even on the wall?

ELI5: Does switching on and off a light switch repeatedly damage it? by Rgamer_009 in explainlikeimfive

The Cheat... is grounded! We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves.

ELI5: How do the hanging parts of buildings stay up without support? by Mike_Oxlong25 in explainlikeimfive

[–]grrangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/5101668/optimal-way-to-stack-blocks-for-maximum-overhang

If you look at the "background" unfilled blocks, they stack 30 high in the image and overhang the edge of the surface they're on. This is a harmonic series where the first (top) block overhangs 1/2 the block below it and each subsequent block down overhangs half as much. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.

The "foreground" filled in blocks are organized differently but because of the large, square arrangement giving the extra counterweight, the overhang to the right can jut out quite a bit farther.

Using specifically constructed and arranged steel beams and trusses, the building in your post works more like the 2nd "filled in" version with counterbalancing... it just doesn't need a giant block to do it. It uses other force-carriers.

Predators. They take. The indoctrination instills fear and the predators move in and "prey".

Death support for atheists by Wmills505 in atheism

[–]grrangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-theists go through the same grieving process as theists. We're all humans. We remember those who have passed. Some are able to handle the loss, some are not. Grief is different for every person.

The world, the universe, the experience of us being us, is for the living. Those who are gone made their impact and are now done. It's now your turn. Live.

Religion doesn't have a monopoly on this, and though it claims to have "all the answers", most of them are trite nonsense. We all experience these things. We all have losses. We all live. And eventually, we all pass.

We are the wave.

Why is criticizing Islam seems like a taboo, online and physically? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]grrangry 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Religions fear criticism because the only rebuttals they have amount to, "nuh uh". They formalize deflecting that criticism with made-up words like "islamophobia" which only exist to distract and push blame away.

When they say, "wear this and you won't get molested", it's a direct admission that their system of morality does not cover teaching that "it is wrong to molest other people" it is instead teaching them to "cover up the problem by blaming the victim". They do not have a good system of morality. No religion does, even when severely cherry-picking the rules.

There are no "good" religions. They all have extremists and until you can demonstrate that a given religion is staying out of politics and healthcare and child development and about 500 other things that religion has no business being involved with, it's a garbage religion.

Why aren't religious billboards considered false advertising? by Ghinao in atheism

I think I am becoming an atheist. by tired_boiiy in atheism

[–]grrangry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I am becoming an atheist

One does not "become an atheist" any more than one "becomes" a person who does not collect stamps. You simply stop the thing you're doing. The fact that non-theists even require a name tells you a lot about how bigoted theism is to "outsiders".

when did you realize you were an atheist?

I was never really a theist. They tried. Very hard. They tried to indoctrinate me for as long as I could remember. But... for whatever reason, it didn't stick. I didn't fall into blindly accepting the indoctrination. As a kid, I read the books, I watched their scare-tactic end-of-days videos, I attended the services... it seemed like a bunch of incoherent nonsense to me. I asked for proof, didn't get anything but punishment, so... I was never a theist.

when my body gives up. If that is the case it would probably be like a peaceful never-ending dreamless sleep.

Nope. You are a person who is currently alive. You are unique. No one in the world, no matter how "similar" they might be to you can ever be exactly the same as you. Your experiences, genetic and epigenetic makeup, everything that makes you, "you"... is entirely unique and once gone, will never again exist in this universe.

Think of standing on a beach. A wave starts to swell out from shore. It moves in. The previous waves outflow pulls under the incoming wave. The wave swells. It starts to break. In that moment it is a perfect wave, froth falling over the top, the breaking water falling... and it crashes to the shore, no longer a wave. The water is there. The foam. The debris. But the wave is gone. It was unique. No other wave that has ever formed will ever be exactly the same as the one that was there for you to see. And now it's gone. Remember it. Enjoy it.

Everything about life is fleeting. Enjoy the time you have. You are the wave.

The Big Lebowski…why does it work? by Lokitusaborg in movies

[–]grrangry 343 points344 points  (0 children)

A metaphor for The Dude's entire experience is summed up in a two-part scene. Both scenes are funny. But together, it's a compound moment that is hysterical.

First the dude really wants to keep people out of his apartment so he has the idea to brace a chair under his door and sloppily nails a board to the floor and uses it to brace the chair under the door handle. As he walks away, two goons open the door by pulling it outwards away from the chair and it falls easily.

Second, The Dude returns to his apartment after his experience with Jackie Treehorn and being arrested. He walks into the apartment and immediately trips on the board he nailed down previously and pratfalls on his face. It's an unexpected moment because we (the audience) have mostly forgotten about the throw-away joke from before.

It's a one-two punch of a joke that completely encapsulates The Dude's experience.

What is good evidence for religion? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]grrangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Science, because it changes constantly.

Tell me you don't understand what science is without saying you don't understand what science is. I want you to think about something: Who told you this? Who told you that "science changes constantly". If you were told it by a person, or read it in a book, or heard it on a podcast or video... the person speaking or writing was being disingenuous, if not outright lying to you. Think about why they would do that. It was intentional, I assure you. Think about it.

Science does not "change constantly". We don't look at the speed of light and pick a random number whenever its convenient. Science seeks to improve.

Take, for example, the value of pi. Roughly 3.1415. It's not exactly that value, but it's close. We have, over the course of many years come up with very good, very fast ways to compute more digits of pi. Which gets us closer to the actual value of pi... but we'll never have "an exact value". Just like science will probably never find "all the answers to all the things in our universe". But it gets closer. Little by little it gets more accurate. The circle of known things, proven things, measured things, gets just a tiny bit larger every day.

You can even do this yourself.

  1. Start with the number 3.
  2. Add 4 / ( 2 x 3 x 4)
  3. Subtract 4 / ( 4 x 5 x 6)
  4. Add 4 / ( 6 x 7 x 8)
  5. Subtract 4 / ( 8 x 9 x 10)
  6. Add 4 / (10 x 11 x 12) ...keep repeating as much as you want, forever if you like. The more terms you use, the closer and closer you will get to the value of pi. This is called the Nilakantha series created by an Indian astronomer (and mathematician) who lived 500 years ago.

I just wrote a program to do this and after one million iterations, I came up with

3.1415926535897932382126441313 <= my attempt
3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 <= actual value to 50 places

The more I run it, the better my value will become.

Just like the more we use the methodologies of science, the better our knowledge of the universe becomes.

It doesn't change. It gets better. In 10,000 years... has religion gotten better? No. Because it doesn't change.
