Finally something I can apply my expensive ChemE degree on :')

These diagrams were always the worst to use, far too busy and usually printed on cheap paper making it impossible to distinguish one line from the other.

Basically its a diagram is relating the energy required to change the state of something (usually water) and while in theory is amazing and clean in allowing you to determining enthalpy necessary for a state at a constant pressure.

In practice though can get really messy especially with more variables in play, as shown with the temperature decreasing as the balloon altitude increases.

Thank you for the recommendation :)

I’ve been searching for steel toes ever since I was burned by Red Wings.

We are in the minority, its pushed so much because it works.

There are some people who are outright influenced, but other times even shoving visuals at the user is enough to subliminally influence to a degree, advertising is all psychology.

That’s why when I remember this when considering compromising and using something with ads. Its never worth the sacrifice, starting to apply the same philosophy to services who subsidize their cost of operating using data. Sure it costs me more but realistically that’s how it should be, there’s no free lunch.

Eh nothing interesting. The water would be in the bucket but pool and bead much quicker, instead of spreading and getting the bucket ‘wet’. Kind of like a hydrophobic windshield coating.

After a lot of research I went with a gen 1 Volt and couldn’t agree more, just enough battery to keep me from getting gas! The car was clearly designed with a lot of thought, and really sound engineering decisions all around, making ownership pain free.

I might be a little paranoid here so feel free to lmk, but a few uses for the data gathered by a foreign government/keeping people addicted:

The most obvious: Propaganda to push people to distrust their government

The less reasonable but still possible: Time wasting, people spend less time trying new things due to the lack of instant gratification, decreasing productivity/capability of the users. We’ve seen China begin to address this domestically with new laws limiting usage, what the US would consider overreach (unless it effects the bottom line perhaps?)

The downright unreasonable: Profile building using accounts as a digital fingerprint to determine military capability, it’s amazing what people will advertise about themselves online, TikTok occasionally tells people what illness (mental or physical) before even they are formally diagnosed. Imagine leveraging that information in a ‘unethical’ way, the possibilities are endless.
