You're right, I should have said equivalently :D

For a little while, yes. Ice has middling thermal conductivity, it'll eventually homogenously warm to the melting point.

Author here Surface contact is one reason you want an ice/water slurry instead of just ice, but the real reason is that ice melting consume a lot more energy than just ice being wa…

The ice actually comes up to the temperature of the water while it's melting. That's what the equilibrium temperature is: the temperature of the entire ice / water system until it'…

Delicious, of course! And yes, the other commenter is correct. LNO2 works so well because it freezes the ice cream so fast that the crystals don't have time to grow very large, whi…

OP author here. Yes, though you have to be careful. If you add too much alcohol you'll prevent your mixture from properly freezing. David Leibowitz, author of "The Perfect Scoop" r…

Author here. Hah, that's true, but I didn't want to mention it as it's not entirely in the aim of the essay :)

Author here, thank you! It's been bouncing around in the back of my brain for a long time. I couldn't find any clear and concise explanations about what really happens when salt is…

I've always figured you could just do an auction. Say you have 500 tickets. You give everyone who wants to go 48 hours to submit how much they're willing to pay for a ticket. At th…

You're really going to write an entire diatribe about how the image quality of new lenses is aesthetically inferior to old lenses and not include a single example comparison??

Wait, is this an official MS utility? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/ Why aren't these just bundled by default??

This is why I switched off of hard mode, after trying it a few times. For me while it was technically harder, it lost some strategic depth and the games became a lot less interesti…

Grazie!

Do you have a link to this? Every search query I try produces results for the character Monica from Friends. Seems like exceptionally poor SEO, heh.

I was a Lego obsessed kid through the 90s and 00s, and now I have a school age son who is similarly devoted to it. Lego today is waaaayyy cooler than it was when I was a kid. I got…

Weirdly (to me, at least) private school teachers make substantially less than public. The ones I know say it's worth it to be free of the onerous beauracracy that plagues public e…

Didn't Rogan emphatically endorse Bernie last election cycle? Have the alt right become socialists when I wasn't looking?

Beg your politicians to support open borders, so that the individuals who live in these countries have the freedom to leave them.

Of course, they're almost always very qualitative discussions. If you have a track record of discussing improvement points, hopefully both you and your manager will be able to agre…

I agree with this. I think it's also important to regularly check it with your manager and ask about how your performance is being perceived and if there is anything they could sug…

Is the problem inequality or that the income is below a threshold that would guarantee safety and pray of mind?

"Parental income as a marker for socioeconomic position during childhood and later risk of developing a secondary care-diagnosed mental disorder examined across the full diagnostic…

I have often wondered: if Brexit and the 2016 presidential election had gone differently, would we still have this panic surrounding social media? To me, a lot of it feels like peo…
