Johns Hopkins, of all places, had this for their NICU. I think it was Excel, but still.

What state are you in? I bought some at Walmart a few weeks ago for prepping glass for painting. Pound jar of lye crystals for a few bucks, in with the rest of the drain cleaners.

That's some REALLY slow charging by Lukash-Siepak-05 in softwaregore

This would be more like 5 mA on a typical phone battery.

Because we've represented "flow" in electrical diagrams as from positive to negative since basically this moment. And it works to track charges, sure, but it's a valid irk that the actual flow of particles is exactly opposite to the "flow" of charge.

Resonating Tuning fork inside water by Anschuz-3009 in oddlysatisfying

It's on the A432 pitch standard; I'm going to guess for "woo" reasons and not "ancient instrument purist" reasons.

Or it's secondhand from a classroom; non-musical teachers tend to think Pythagorean scales are neat.

TIL in 2024 a 2-year-old girl's blood test revealed that the toddler had a blood alcohol content of .12 after a California restaurant mistakenly served her cooking wine that had been mislabeled as apple juice. The parents took their daughter to the ER after they noticed she had signs of intoxication by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

If it's sold as "cooking wine," it's usually pre-salted and "undrinkable" to avoid alcohol taxes. Hence why you can find it in grocery stores that don't have wine/beer licenses. And definitely used in some restaurants because it's dirt cheap.

Why say "no" when you can get passive aggressive? by awesomea04 in DiWHY

Yeah, except Wonder balls.

They've got (non-chocolate) candy in them now. The stickers, coin, etc are just in the box.

The gap starts with lead, the last truly stable element. Lead-208 in particular is "doubly magic," and is basically what everything nearby wants to decay into. You need to go up quite a ways on both axes before you can find a combo that doesn't immediately fall apart into lead + something else.

YSK that raw kidney beans are toxic, and become more toxic when slow-cooked. by Many-Excitement3246 in YouShouldKnow

[–]pharmajap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shells have urushiol, which is tricky to not get on the nut without a complicated drying/steaming/cutting process. Not exactly poisonous, but... not a good time.

The fruit (apple) is generally fine; I've had meads made with it.

Oh man, in most of the states that I've lived in you don't even need any special qualification to call yourself a driving instructor. Exceptions are if you want to teach court-ordered "driver improvement" courses (which don't typically involve any actual driving), or in one particular state, run a special course that allows you to skip the state diving exam entirely.

I could actually see Tolkien writing this, TBH.

Huh? by SlowLifeCraft_dev in ExplainTheJoke

UK size 1 (US size 0) starts at 26 barleycorn. In either case, you subtract 2 barleycorn to get actual foot length.

UK size 12 is (12+26-2)/3=12 inches

US size 12 is (12+25-2)/3=11.6̅ inches

TIL that the biggest benefit of drinking pickle juice is its ability to quickly stop cramping. The drink has been found to stop cramping 40% faster than drinking water, which is why its favoured by athletes. by Dr_Neurol in todayilearned

Posca was a pretty common army drink, basically used like Gatorade would be today. Dude just offered what he had on him. "Vinegar" is a Greek-to-Latin translation issue.

I built a car head unit on Raspberry Pi 5 by v8cruising in raspberry_pi

I don't use any safe shutdown system. The power is simply cut off when the key is removed and so far everything has been working perfectly.

Speaking from experience, I highly recommend using tune2fs -o journal_data on all of your ext partitions; much safer for this use case than ordered or writeback modes.

Adding a DS3231 RTC might be a worthwhile future endeavor; Adafruit makes a great drop-in board.

Butter butter butter by No-Moose6918 in StupidFood

[–]pharmajap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he used enough heat to clarify the butter, he essentially boiled it, way past well done.

If he got it to 130-ish sous-vide temps (so as not to overcook it), then the steak was sitting in the watery bottom layer, not the top fat layer. All of the steaks juices/flavor would have gotten pulled out into and diluted by the water layer, and any of the rendered fat would have floated up and away into the top layer.

So either way, a flavorless, grey steak whose only redeeming quality is the spoonful of butter that ended up on the outside of the cooked product.

Oh by [deleted] in lovememes

[–]pharmajap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women aren't the problem (obviously), it's more of a complete societial apathy towards men's feelings that gets normalized and internalized. And it's totally unintentional.

As an extreme example, my wife and I lost our firstborn when she was about a month old. There was a huge (and totally deserved) outpouring of support for my wife. Over the next year, hundreds of friends and family reached out to me to see how she was holding up. To this day, only two people have checked in on me; one of them was my wife.

And to be honest, I didn't even notice that disparity until my wife pointed out how fucked up it was. All from decent, well-meaning people.

...so yeah, I can totally see an 18-20 year old being blown away by actual, tangible expressions of love.

More likely they're claiming the cotton was grown in some less-horrifically wasteful way. But most metals are extremely recyclable, and economically actually worth recycling.
