It’s aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive… He almost burned the house down a couple times.
Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly.
Don’t set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.
Fermion@feddit.nlto News@lemmy.world•US slashes 'de minimis' tariff on small China parcels to 54%9·10 hours agoWe should all be so excited that a new federal sales tax that didn’t go through congress, and hasn’t been challenged by congress, is only at absurd levels instead of straight embargo levels.
Fermion@feddit.nlto Space@mander.xyz•A star has been destroyed by a wandering supermassive black hole8·2 days agoGravity would shred everything way before you noticed any cool time dilation effects. If somehow you became invincible, you still wouldn’t see a fast forward movie of the universe, the light falling into the black hole also experiences distortions and becomes so blueshifted that you could not “see” anything. Outside observers also could not see you or anything else slow down on approaching the event horizon. Any light emitted from an infalling object becomes so redshifted, the ability to observe an infalling object fades away extremely quickly and is not infinite.

I think it would be the progression from gathering firewood in the winter. They would notice that logs are easier to drag in the snow/on ice. Logs also glide way more easily along their length as opposed to across the side. So maybe you pick a couple long logs to pile all your other sticks on so you can drag a whole heap of wood in one go. Eventually that gets refined into a sleigh with bone runners. Then you just need someone who wants to have some fun with the idea and plays around with making a miniature version they can strap to their feet.
Fermion@feddit.nlto Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2English301·5 days agoHe hasn’t had a great streak in completing progress in haunted chocolatier because he keeps getting pulled back into stardew valley ports and making new content for stardew valley. If he and his collaborators soon have to support both stardew valley and haunted chocolatier across multiple platforms, I don’t expect development on a new stardew valley game to progress quickly at all. I would expect half life 3 like timelines.

I’m going to stretch the definition of tree and answer with blueberry bushes. I have planted all sort of fruit trees, but in my climate it’s difficult to get high quality fruit without using pesticides. Pest pressure is significant. The blueberries on the other hand require little maintenance and they thrive even in depleted soils. I also like that the berries ripen over the span of a few weeks, so it’s not as much of a rush to pick and process everything all at once. I’m in zone 7b/8a, but there are a variety of cultivars that do well from USDA zones 3-9.
Fermion@feddit.nlto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.English19·7 days agoTrue. If your gut has decided that its purpose is to hate you and everything you eat, then no amount of fiber will convince it otherwise.
IBS isn’t always lifelong though. I hope you can work out a diet that avoids angering the growling intenstinal gremlins.
Yeah that’s the faster solution. I like the convenience of having the drip/cauldron system right next to my smelters.
You can use stalactites and cauldrons to duplicate lava source blocks, then use lava buckets for heating the furnaces. It does take a lot of iron to make enough cauldrons though.

The bill is about banning the use of AI or other editing to make it looks like candidates or public officials said or did something that did not happen.

I’m not looking to debate how this might be abused or if it is warranted, but the sensationalized headline is very misleading.

Fermion@feddit.nlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country?7·15 days agoThe recruiter sent you an inelligible candidate. That’s just as much their problem as it is yours.
The soil type you describe is what is usually recommended. I have a lot of clay in my soil so I planted my bushes on a slope that is too steep to mow. That seems to provide enough drainage. They did have a brief fungal infection on their second year, I treated with sulfur powder and haven’t had any problems in subsequent years. A cheap pH meter says my soil is around 5, but I don’t put a lot of confidence in its measurements.
The flowers are also beautiful and have a pleasant aroma.
