Where I am they slice the heel much thinner than the rest of the slices because it's widely-accepted that the heel is generally not wanted.

Reply to comment by cmele0308 in [homemade] thick hot chocolate by officalgroovyfoodie
Use a metric ton of chocolate. Typical hot chocolate recipes have about an ounce of chocolate and a spoon or two of cocoa to a cup of milk, but for max mouthfeel you want to use at least 3 times that amount of chocolate. Some recipes even add a cornstarch slurry to encourage thickening.
Look up Italian or French hot chocolate recipes. I drink this stuff in (double) espresso cup portions because it's so gloriously rich.

Reply to comment by RandomLogicThough in Researchers designed a transparent window coating that could lower the temperature inside buildings, without expending a single watt of energy. This cooler may lead to an annual energy saving of up to 86.3 MJ/m² or 24 kWh/m² in hot climates by mossadnik
The article states that they're trying to cool the building by radiating heat in addition to reducing the heat that is coming in.

If you'd used that you would have obtained:
2/3•pi•R•R•(L + S) = 2/3•pi•(1.05)•(1.05)•(2.8) = 6.47

The original math is off, so each nugget is perhaps just 7-8k. Still a hefty 2+mil/year, but I might hold out for a while more.

Thanks for the formula. It's for chickens, but works well for an estimate. Using that formula, we get 7012.429 mm^(3), or 7cm^(3) for an American Robin egg, still nowhere close to 49.
European Robins lay smaller (non-blue) eggs, 2cm long and 1.5cm wide with a volume of ~2.6cm^(3). That would be about USD2.7k worth of gold.

Okay, using 2.1cm and 2.8cm I still have no idea how you're getting your volume from. Even very roughly approximating the egg to a cuboid 2.1 × 2.1 × 2.8, the egg would be under 12.5 cubic cm. In reality, it's probably about half that, closer to 6 cm3, ~120g.
But yes. Still good money. $6-7k per nug.
Edit: I think 49.42 came about by taking (2.1×2)^(2) = 17.64 ('rounding' to 17.65) and multiplying by 2.8 to get 49.42. But 2.1 is width, not radius, so there's no need to double it.
Anyway another commenter helpfully provided a formula for egg volume, and a(n American) robin's egg comes to about 7cm^(3).

Fur at the tip is ear tufts, fur that grows inside is ear furnishings! A few breeds have them. Generally it means your kitten is going to become a floofer.

My kuhli loaches are horribly shy (as they tend to be). Weirdly enough they're less wary of me if I'm wearing red, which I chalk up to them having red cherry shrimp for tankmates. They're probably used to red things that sometimes move abruptly.

No different from an indoor cat I guess. If you have a suitable set up (enough space, stimulation) fish will be fine.
