Why cant I find a chart of materials where each point is a material, and the y axis is thermal conductivity and the x-axis is specific heat capacity

@customdesigned Amazon prime video running on a second monitor and me not realizing I put each monitor on its own card :)

Less exciting but I thought something similar (crypto mining though)

@customdesigned Oh I knew your point. I am just pointing out inflation effects are more complicated than just supply. If money is being stolen readily and easily en mass (one way tax can be interpreted) then that insecurity in holding money devalues the money in a way that is separate from supply itself. I think that deserves pointing out.

Its also important to note the subtle difference and relationship between wealth (the total utility) and money (a quantity is purely relative but often seen as absolute or fixed)

If the spending is wasteful and counter-productive it destroys wealth while keeping the money supply fixed. Burning money will reduce the money supply but have no net effect on the overall wealth. There are literally cases where burning the money may be better economically than spending it, but its more complex than to say money supply and inflation are the only major factors here.

Wooooaaaa... something n my computer has been using one of my GPUs for some sort of compute operation. Possibly for days now... Its definitely not for video since i have 4 water cooled compute optimized GPUs and only one of them does video. The tacymeter on the one pinging is one of the ones not hooked up to video.

What the fuck could possibly be compute processing on one of my GPU.... I mean usually its shit I wrote and run.....

Good old Bernie, its everyone's fault but him and his voters... funny that, its almost like blaming other people rather than taking accountability makes people happy.

Interesting fact of the day: While direct annihilation between two photons (light) is quite rare, the weak interactions between photons is not just noticeable but effects intergalactic light causing scattering. It only happens with high energy gamma rays but basically as they travel over galactic distances they interact with the "soup" of normal lower energy light traveling through he intergalactic void.

Interesting fact of the day: Since a photon is its own anti-particle both matter and antimatter emit the exact same kind of light. They can still annihilate each other, they are just so weakly interacting such annihilation has never been experimentally observed, and we dont expect it ever will be, at least not anytime soon.

@lowqualityfacts I know you kid. But oddly (and this isnt as uncommon as you might think) but I sleep far better on adderall than off.

For those who are curious, I started Ozempic / Semiglutide at the beginning of January, Ive lost 10 lbs since the start of it, 14 lbs since it "kicked in". Attached are two charts, one of my weight since starting taking it, the other my weight as measured since January 2017, just to add some perspective.

To this day the name "positronium" bugs me.. I feel like it shouldnt exist without some counterpart called "negitronium"...

> These universal truths I describe are often incredibly narrowly defined, by necessity. I believe very few things are truly absolute, but there are a few.

The fact that you have to define them at all, let alone narrowly, make them non-absolute truths. They are only true under a definition, and thus circular... at best you are creating circular arguments with extra steps to obscure the circular nature of the argument. But its absolutely no different than 1+1=2 being true by definition, you are just using looser linguistic definitions rather thant he mathematical ones.

> For water, your quantity is not "1", but rather "blob". So, yes, blob+blob=blob, but none of those are integers. When they combine, it's not the math that changes, but rather the means by which you measure it. In different units, such as one gallon plus one gallon, the math holds true.

Blob is not a quantity, its a thing... You are acting like the question "How many blobs do I have" cant be "1".

The problem is "quantity" depends on "the quantity of what exactly".

blobs are measured in integers and yes 1 is a valid quantity of blobs. Blobs (like ducks) can also be measures in volume, in which case 1 m^3 + 1 m^3 = 2 m^3. But i wasnt measuring by volume, just as i didnt measurte by volume of ducks, i was measuring by unit, as we do with ducks.

If i make a duck into ground meat, and make it into sausage I can say "I have 1m^3 of duck meat" or I can say ""I have a pile of meat here that is 2 ducks of meat". Both are just as valid as the other.
