I still need to know how fast I need to ride my bike to not freeze my hands, when biking during the winter without mittens. There has to be some sweet spot where my hands a warm, but not burning.

Close to mach Jesus I think. At which time you might have other more pressing problems than cold hands. Remember to maintain the brakes on your bicycle.

You don’t have to hit a chicken hard to cook it you just shoot it at a wall.

That would be difficult to serve. Maybe shoot it into something like a bucket with a rim that’s curved inward, to direct the meals momentum back into the bucket.

And, since the volume is more confined, it should have the benefit of slightly reducing the required kinetic cooking energy.

So, shoot it at the plate instead.

Used to joke in the kitchen that I worked in that if we were pressed for time, instead of baking something for an hour at 300°, we can just bake it for 6 minutes at 3,000°. It's such a fun concept and always makes me giggle

This is used in software engineering too, people will say things like "you can't make a baby in a month with 9 women"
