Reply to TIFU by drinking one Starbucks coffee and now I have an exam in 12 hours by asian_sensation7
Try to fit in a nap sometime before the exam, not too long though or you'll be even more tired. More coffee will not help, just in case you're considering that

You'll certainly get more time together with a spouse, but it might be more than you need, and it's not all quality time. If you pay only for the time you need, a Relationship As A Service model (RAAS) could save you money, compared to in-house hosting, but that depends on your personal use case.

It's arguably cheaper than getting married (and divorced)

Reply to Jeff Bezos used metaphors, an ancient communication tool, to explain complex ideas. by iLiveOnWeetbix711
I don't like when people use too many metaphors. They're like a chef who uses too much seasoning in a dish - it can overpower the flavors and make it difficult to taste the individual ingredients.

Reply to comment by givemeyours0ul in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg
Yes but not all in series. For 25000 AA batteries that would give you about 37kV, you probably don't want/need so much.

Ok but you wouldn't connect 25000 AA batteries in series (ok, I would), that limits the failure points a bit.

Reply to comment by KoastPhire in TIL about the TwitterPeek, a Twitter-only mobile device introduced in 2009 that allowed users to send and receive tweets...and nothing else by wilymon
Introduced about 2 years after the first iphone, I guess it came a few years too late.

Reply to Future generations will likely look back on reality TV the same way we look back on Roman gladiators. by entrendre_entendre
Doubtful. For reality TV I've always wondered why anyone would watch that, can't say that about Roman gladiators. Reality TV is lame.

We'd need to find use for about 5 metric tons for every person on earth, every year. But all your use cases release the CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Even if the energy used for carbon capture is carbon neutral, that energy would be better used to replace fossil fuel energy.

It's billions of tons each year. It'd have to he something immensely useful to need so much if it.

Tbh I saw your question before you changed your response, but also didn't know the answer. I guess there's only one way to find out, if you still have the means, and dedication.

Reply to TIL dunce caps were originally a sign of high intelligence and wisdom. Philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus was a proponent of pointy hats as a way to funnel knowledge to the mind and his followers, called Dunsmen, wore them. By the 1500s the Dunsmen fell out of favor as “behind the times”. by Aequitas05
Highly intelligent and convinced the science community to wear pointy hats for a century. I like this guy.

Reply to [OC] California Historic Daily Low Temperatures by yxorp
May be a bit misleading, thinking "all ok we're within normal range". Would be interesting to see if the max values tend to be more recent than the min values.
