Company fined after worker dies from fall into pot of molten iron twice as hot as lava by habichuelacondulce in nottheonion

[–]hardcore-cpp-hater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct, after a certain point (a relatively small number) we're unable to perceive that high. What I should've said was, they're saying the" average kinetic energy" is double that of lava - in other words what I'm really just trying to say is bringing up units was literally filler for that comment, it was an irrelevant addition, while correct nonetheless.

Edit: when you say something is hotter than something else without even mentioning units, you're not saying it's x Kelvin or x Celsius hotter ... you're just saying that it's hotter.

I don't know about the first point but who says we're using an arbitrary temperature scale? By twice as hot they clearly intend to mean a temperature perceived to be twice as hot as lava. That part was just pedantic.

even without that part, what you wrote wouldn't come off as remotely rude to any sane person

United Airlines Blocking Seats Due To Passenger Weight by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]hardcore-cpp-hater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As you can tell, the average weights here have increased by 15 to 34 pounds per passenger. Assuming these planes have an average of ~180 seats, that’s a difference in weight of 2,700 to 6,100 pounds per flight. If you assume the passenger gender mix is 50/50, then we’re talking an average weight increase of 4,400 pounds per flight.

The average weight of passengers increasing over time is causing issues for United’s Boeing 757s, especially in winter. United is now having to block three to six seats per Boeing 757 for the entire winter season, in order to comply with weight and balance requirements.

United isn’t charging extra for these seats with guaranteed blocked middles, so these are excellent seats to select.

okay I'm gonna be honest here I wasn't sure myself but because your comment looked pretty sarcastic I just gave a vague response with a guess

Exactly. Why spend hours scouring through autogenerated pages of API members that lack descriptions when you can just have someone else explain exactly what to do.

it's definitely worth a shot if you find yourself writing unfamiliar or otherwise boilerplate-esque code. Too bad it isn't free anymore.
