I would argue schrodingers cat is more annoying because most people don’t understand it at all and think it was an actual thought experiment vs a critique on the ridiculousness of superposition

But what are the units on that? Mine only outputs in kelvin

A home thermostat will commonly have a multi degree range for turning on and off to avoid excessive cycling and then individual rooms can have multi degree differences from the thermostat and then even in an individual room you can get multi degree differences from the ceiling to the floor

So while changing the actual setpoint can change it from comfortable to uncomfortable you still likely can’t tell the difference between a 1F difference

That is before even accounting for humidity or airflow which can make even bigger differences

Reduce military from 2.1m to under 500k

Audit veterans disability for fraud

The amount of people who are 100% disabled while living and working entirely normal lives says something is wrong with the system

Veterans affairs will be able to be cut within a few years

My information is based on installing 3 dishwashers in the US that all said to either connect to cold water or give an option for cold water or hot water

Voltage doesn’t matter for heating what matters is overall power. 1500W at 120V and 1500W at 450V both heat at the same rate. The advantage of higher voltage home systems is they usually allow higher power since current is generally the limiting factor but they make higher current breakers for 120V

I was off on my conversions and did calories instead of joules. Either way it takes 4 minutes to get from 60 to 160 which is still trivial on a multi hour cycle

Here is one that allows either connection but emphasizes increased efficiency with hooking up to cold water. I admitted I was wrong on my conversions will you admit you are wrong that they have to hook up to hot water?

The military budget isn’t even the whole story because it doesn’t include the hundreds of billions that go to DHS and the hundreds of billions that’s go to veterans affairs which only exists because of the military budget

Many modern dishwashers only have a cold water inlet so it literally does not get water from the hot water tank.

120V really doesn’t matter that much as they are commonly on their own 20A breaker. At 1500W of power it can heat 1.5L of water from 60F to 168F in 1 minute.

To be fair if you just bought a building that was a target of a terror attacker just a few years earlier it does make sense to purchase an insurance policy

Isn’t the stereotype more about selling intentionally inferior products, not that it’s low tech?

Like using cheaper materials and then adding a weight to make it seem less cheap

The “people are trying to eat significantly more than they need” was referring to protein

As in people are drinking 300 calorie protein shakes when they aren’t hungry so they can hit their “protein target”

It’s 1 gram per pound of LEAN body mass not overall body weight

Just because a person is in good shape doesn’t mean they actually understand what is required to train and it’s very common for top athletes to use a ton of pseudoscience garbage because they want anything that could possibly improve performance

It’s a weird obsession because people are trying to eat significantly more than they need.

People misunderstood grams per kilogram and just switched it to grams per pound without actually converting units
