Iron Lynx

That headline sounds to me like them claiming “Y’all’re a bunch of eejits for usin’ our service!”

To which I’d say “Yeah sure, I’m certain that would hold up in court” with the biggest eye roll you could imagine

Y’all think your cat is a loaf? You’ve got nothing on OP! This… is a loaf.

Driverless is fine, it’s the magnetic thing that has me raising an eyebrow.

He popped to my mind very quickly as well. Let’s go down the list:

• Significant talent, dedication and skill

Would say, though I’d say he especially shines in composition and getting the right people to shine.

• Write music across a bunch of different contemporary genres

Basing yourself on prog metal is kind of cheating in that respect xD

Seriously though, the genres within albums, or sometimes single songs, of his can be a bit of a rollercoaster. If another reader is still drawing a blank, The Day That The World Breaks Down

• Draws from the work of others

Isn’t that basically the standard for most musicians? And also, in the aforementioned track’s clip, he specifically refers to a few inspirations. And moments when he let his collaborators do their thing and shine. “Hey Mike, here are your lyrics: 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01010100 01001000 00110001, go nuts!”

• Shitposting and odd outfits

Have you been at Live Beneath The Waves? His girlfriend got an applause, his brother was heckled & booed, and his keyboard guy was called a LUL by the entire audience. All at his request.

Arjen checks the boxes pretty well.

I’m getting basically the same at the moment if I try to go there.

Thank you for making me picture the American wall outlet as a femboy, and the German Schutzkontakt outlet as a Giga Chad.

This thing is a nostalgia trip like holy cow

I heard/read a story somewhere once, where there was a statue somewhere of someone who’s better off not glorified. The statue was defaced regularly, and every time it was defaced, there’d be someone cleaning it up.

Over time the statue went on to look worse for wear until one day, the authorities decided it was better to remove and replace the statue.

It turned out the guy cleaning it up was always the same guy, who hated the subject of the statue with a passion, and alway used salt water to clean it, hoping to corrode & wear down the statue. Some people suspect he and the vandal were the same person.

RON SWANSON: I reject all cookies.

Wait, I don’t think I was clear enough. I didn’t ask to reject a lot of cookies. I reject all cookies.

how certain are you that this will truly block them all? Many of these things may have a “Legitimate interest” thing going on, and I do not trust those prompts to object to that by pressing “reject all”

That’s a shag, a noun. What about the verb, to shag?

And maybe also “big stuff”. I suppose those two overlap quite a lot?

and in convection, at what point are photons being exchanged?

How about in conduction?

I’m pretty sure both of those are just ripples of heat in atoms & molecules spreading to nearby atoms & molecules via more nano-mechanical means, with the former case having that amplified by the fact the atoms & molecules are in motion at a larger scale.

Loosely couple two identical oscillators and excite one, and the second will move as well, no photons needed. At a nano scale, that is how conduction works. And again, convection adds to that the fact that the oscillators can freely move around each other

This. And what heat exchange mechanisms are in play when you have a moving fluid? That’s right! Convection!

(And a bit of conduction at the boundary layer, but I already shut off a different fork of this thread by limiting pedantry)

Ah, I see we’re getting to the point where it’s hard to tell if we’re being philosophical or pedantic.

Counterpoint: at the boundary layers, right where the air touches the fins, the main mechanism for heat exchange is conduction. Ultimately, convection is just conduction, where the medium undergoing heat conduction is a moving fluid, which massively amplifies the rate of heat exchange.

Air is kinda shit at taking in heat through radiation, but fine at doing so via conduction and convection.

nah, radiative cooling means that radiation is the only mechanism for heat exchange in use. I’m pretty sure most modern air coolers use forced convection as one of their heat exchange mechanisms.

Water cooling at what kind of scale? Since you can engineer a system with the final heat exchanger to the environment stuck in a river. Is that air cooling with extra steps?

If we’re talking PC’s though, yes. You’re right.

Ik ga er niet om liegen, ik had niet gerekend op een Duitse reactie op de vorige opmerking xD

To whomever keeps taking the content of my pissed-in litter box,

That’s just taking the piss.
