On their website (energydome.com) they claim “75%+” round trip efficiency, so not a bad guess!

I would have to say EES (Engineering Equation Solver), as I’m a thermal engineer. Or potentially MATLAB with the CoolProp installed. They are quite brilliant tools, not to mention fun to work with!

I feel like Ethoslab deserves a mention. He’s basically making the exact same great fun Minecraft videos as I, a grown ass man, remember from my literal childhood!

Whenever I see this meme I’m always reminded of the Elvis song “Don’t”, so no I’ll have that stuck in my head the rest of the day. Great! Thanks! 😀

Back in the early 2000s the people responsible for maintaining the national forests of Denmark, wrote to the navy that the oaks planted after the British destroyed the danish navy during the napoleonic wars, were now ready for shipbuilding!

I always thought it was quite amazing that the knowledge that these trees were set aside to rebuild the navy survived in the institution for some 200 years.

It’s not to do with breaking thermodynamics. The grains of salt simply act like little so-called “nucleation points” where the bubbles can form easier. That’s why you’ll often see the water suddenly boiling and bubbling violently just as you add salt.

The water was “superheated” above the boiling point, but didn’t have imperfections in the pot which allowed the bubbles to form easily.

I completely agree! I guess there are more people on Lemmy using android than iOS. It’s a bit more in line with the ethos I guess? And Mlem is only iOS.

I used to be android as well, but honestly I won’t ever go back I don’t think. But to each there own

I second that! It’s great. I tried a few different ones at the start, then tried Mlem and never looked back.

Du skriver du kunne lide noget Sci-Fi, det er ikke noget jeg selv har læst meget af, men kan anbefale “Den sorte tåge” af Fred Hoyle hvis du kan finde et eksemplar. Jeg tror den fangede mig som få andre bøger.

Er lige blevet færdig med Robert Harris’ “Fatherland”, super velskrevet og interessant “alternative history” om hvordan verden kunne være hvis Tyskland vandt 2. verdenskrig, skrevet af en historiker. Og så er det bare en god historie synes jeg.

Hvis du ikke har læst Jan Guillous “Det store århundrede” serie er især de tre første vildt gode i min mening; “Brobyggerne”, “Dandy”, og “Mellem rødt og sort”.

Også “Sæt en vagtpost ud” af Harper Lee er fantastisk!

Sidst men ikke mindst er Anne Franks Dagbog faktisk yderst anbefalelseværdig. Føles på en måde mere relevant for tiden. Købte den i Anne Franks Hus i Amsterdam i sommers og er endelig kommet til at læse den.

Dette kommentarspor tilhører nu Kongeriget Danmark! 😀

Not only is it generally harmless when eaten, it is in fact allowed to be added to food in up to 5% concentrations in Europe, 2% in the US. The FDA lists it as “Generally Recognised as Safe”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel#Uses

I suspect that the whole “Do Not Eat” is partly because the Silica Gel in the little bags is not made to food safe standards, but that’s just speculation on my part

They actually aren’t in Russia but either Georgia or Azerbaijan I don’t quite remember which for that specific scene. But I believe Georgia.

Although that might change in future I suppose. At least Russia seems to want that… sigh

Når lige jeg er færdig med at rydde op efter morgenmaden tager jeg ud og stemmer.

Jeg brugte i går aftes efter landskampen på kandidattest og læse lidt om kandidaterne. Jeg synes især det er godt når kandidattestene tillader kandidaterne at skrive en lille forklaring til hvorfor de har svaret som de har. Jeg synes faktisk det giver rigtigt meget at læse forklaringerne igennem, nogle gange finder man en som man er mere “enig” med ift. svarene, men hvis forklaringer ikke giver mening og vice versa.

Jeg synes det er lidt øv at Chatkontrol 2.0 ikke rigtigt er blevet spurgt ind til. Jeg tror det bliver SF igen, de har svaret på hvad de mener om det her: https://chatkontrol.github.io Jeg er ikke 100% tryg ved svaret, de snakker også generelt meget om at “beskytte børnene” i deres kommunikation, men jeg tror jeg vælger at tage risikoen. Jeg regner med at skrive til den/de kandidater der bliver valgt ind for SF efter valget og gøre det klart hvad jeg mener om at masseovervåge os alle. Jeg er glad ved deres grønne ambitioner, og stor fan af at de vil kæmpe for at forbedre togtrafikken i Europa!

I had an Nokia, my last “featurephone” before I got my first smartphone, which actually had an FM tuner built-in. It used the headphone wire as an antenna as far as I recall. Quite neat, not that I ever really used it, but it was perfectly serviceable. And a great way of having music on the go in the days before streaming music was widely available.

I think the top left has a lot of Opel (or Vauxhall if you’re so inclined) Mokka about it.

Nu har jeg ikke læst bøgerne, så hvor tæt de fulgte kildemateriale kan jeg ikke sige så meget til. Jeg er dog enig i at anden sæson havde lidt flere huller i historien. Det eneste jeg tænkte med første sæson var hvordan en tilsyneladende kæmpe virksomhed flytter ind i en lille by og enten bliver ingen lokale ansat eller de skal finde nok i den lille by der er villige til at bidrage til svindel og holde det hemmeligt. Begge virker lidt underligt.

Men hvis man bare acceptere dem som lidt “hjernedød” action sjov hvor en stor gut går rundt og smadrer “onde kriminelle” synes jeg begge sæsoner er var fine.

Jeg “binge’ede” lige begge sæsoner af Reacher på Amazon sidste uge. Hvis man godt kan lide lidt action og lidt “retfærdighedsporno” så synes jeg helt klart den er hver at se!

So… a Mac mini…? 😀

Yeah, I’ve also never really been a big fan of Brutalism, but I’ve seen a couple of examples which were surrounded by greenery, and I think it can actually work quite well sometimes. Something about the contrast just works somehow, I guess.

For me, I think it has to be Pulp Fiction. I just recently rewatched it for the umpteenth time and it’s just as great as ever. I find myself quoting it quite often.

A bit of an outsider which is a big hit in my family is “A Good Year” by Ridley Scott, staring Russel Crowe. It’s a nice fun movie and for a family of francophiles like mine it’s a great way of getting a bit of the France we love in the middle of the dark Northern European winter.
