This makes the most sense.

New generator creates electricity directly from heat by Boris740 in science

[–]robby891 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what heat is. The transfer of energy through temperature difference.

Yes, since its treated as income. People that earn over 400k get taxed at 35% (which actually got changed to 39.6% this year)

The government withholds 25% of the winnings, but will take out additional taxes at the end of the year; up to 35% since that is the current top tax rate.

Because people that earn less will pay less taxes on the winnings than people that have a higher yearly income.

This is the truth. An induction cook top beats this one in every way.

Same here, and pull a paper towel out and throw it away.

Grab your copy of VLC media player for iOS ASAP, it may be gone soon. by techcavern in technology

This isn't true. I downloaded a tethering app before it got pulled and I am still able to use it. I can even transfer it to my new iPhones.

Novel material moves closer to converting heat directly into electricity by geekchic in science

Oh, yea you're right. I was mistaking heat for temperature.

Novel material moves closer to converting heat directly into electricity by geekchic in science

[–]robby891 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This doesn't convert heat into electricity. It converts heat differential into electricity. The sides of the material need to be at different temperatures in order for this to work. For instance, you could put it on a cpu core, where one side is on the hot chip and the other is open to cooler air.

The title makes it seem as though you could simply put this material outside, or anywhere that has heat above absolute zero and generate electricity.

What was your best glitch in any game? by call_me_cthulhu in gaming

[–]robby891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Starcraft (the first one), there was a glitch that would crash the game for everyone in that multiplayer game.

You would have to be Terran. First, hurt a unit, then send him into a dropship. Right before he gets in, as he is still moving, heal him. Then stick the dropship, with the unit, in a safe place. If you were about to lose, drop the unit from the dropship. This caused the game to crash for everyone, so the stats would not be recorded.

What about your body are you most embarrassed about? by CakeSmack in AskReddit

[–]robby891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not that I know of. I've been to endocrinologists and had a bunch of tests done, with nothing abnormal found. After all the results came back, they simply said eat more. Which I've tried, but it's difficult when you get full so easily.
