As someone who got a dog a couple years ago: nah still wanna pet all the other dogs too.

You’re not using microwave save dishes. Microwave safe dishes barely heat up at all in a microwave.

This is the strat. They aren’t even any more expensive than a “cheap” smoke detector once you factor in the cost of batteries (not to mention the cost of all the sleepless nights when the infernal thing is beeping because the battery is low)

My dad bought two houses on a government typists salary. Try doing that today.

You’re getting thermal radiation and convection confused. The ISS has giant radiators because it’s a right pain in the ass to turn heat into thermal radiation, and it cannot rely on convection to cool things like you can here on earth. Turning thermal radiation into heat on the other hand is pretty trivial. Just don’t reflect it and it’ll turn into heat. These things aren’t transporting heat across distances. They are transporting thermal radiation across distances. That works as well in a vacuum – if not better – as it does on earth.

If thermal radiation doesn’t work in a vacuum, how is the sun heating anything up?

Never mind that surely a big company doesn’t explode the second someone calls in sick. The whole sign makes no sense at all.

That last bit is absurd. A mountain was over highway speeds for 30 minutes?

Crazy

Easier to pick up that way I’d guess.

Longer at a lower temperature gets you a thicker crust. Shorter at a higher temperature will get you a thinner crust. Generally speaking.

Yeah but then they still aren’t very good

Which they are saving up for a very specific purpose. It still makes sense.

Right but… This isn’t AI generated? The stitching is consistent, the text is all perfect, even the stuff too small to read. The textures on everything make sense. The background is detailed and consistent. Would an AI pic have a specific brand of hot press (like one might use to print on a hat) in the background with the right amount of being out of focus?

Yes AI slop is bad, but people calling literally every slightly unlikely picture AI is worse.

On the other hand I’ve seen vantablack on crumpled aluminum foil and it was in a plexiglass box. I’m sure it must’ve been incredibly black, but it was completely impossible to tell over the reflections on the plexiglass. Never mind that they mounted the fucking thing in a corner on the ceiling for some reason.

Barbie pink is nowhere near the pinkest pink. It really is a shame it doesn’t photograph well, because it’s a very neat color.

I own some of that pinkest pink. I’ve not in my life seen anything more pink. The blacks he sells are… okay I guess, but I feel like the pink is the only one that actually lives up to its name. The powder isn’t /that/ pink, but as soon as you use it as a pigment it turns startlingly pink.

I mean that’s a risk, but also it’s just generally not funny to push someones face in a cake, let alone on they birthday. Like how much must you hate someone else getting attention to ruin their day like that?

Bicycle tires are generally at a higher pressure than car tires. There’s a lot less volume though.

It’s a word also used to refer to a car transmission.

I have, on more than one occasion, had the trash turn into a bioreactor and get steaming hot

My point being it’s not even a significant portion of furries. It’s just the bits that get shared most outside the community
