You just said that AC can’t make an indoor space cooler than the temperature outside. This is completely wrong and easily disprovable by simply asking anyone who lives in a hot region. The air conditioned indoors is always MUCH cooler than temperature outside.

Like, how do you think freezers work? The temperature inside the freezer stays below freezing while the ambient room temperature is 80 F.

AC is an ACTIVE heat pump. It can push heat out to where it’s already hotter, because it’s using energy to do it. What you’re describing is a passive cooling system, but air conditioners are active systems that use energy to push heat against the gradient. It’s like how a passive water pipe can only have water flow down from it’s highest point, but a powered water pump can actively move water upward to a point above where it started.

Fyi some microwaves have a way to set it to silent mode. I think in some models it might even be an undocumented button combination to do it. Web search your exact model to see if there’s a way to do it

Actually, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, but light travels slower through a medium, like air. So lasers shot through air will actually travel slower than c.

The 35% of men who didn’t do it had previous experiences with electric shocks from fences or electronics

If you want to change this about yourself, then you can see a therapist to help you do it. You don’t have to be mentally ill to see a therapist, they can just help you make changes in yourself that you want to make. For something like this you would want to see a CBT therapist

Would you want to change it if you could?

I used to be that way too, but it’s a skill that you learn through practice. Like push yourself to get into things just a teeny tiny bit to start with for now. Then after awhile it’ll be easy to get to that point of toe-dipping, so then you push yourself to go in a bit more next time, and do that every time you’re at some activity, and then eventually you’ll find it easy to jump right into the deep end of every activity. But it does take some effort to push yourself in the earlier stages

I assume you’re quite young, which is great! I’d suggest learning to enthusiastically jump into whatever activity you wind up in. It’s way more fun that way.

At a comic con? Throw on a mask and start talking in a funny voice!

At an opera? Listen closely to the sounds and try to enjoy the artisticness of the performance!

In a big grassy field with nothing to do? Take your shoes off and let the grass tickle your feet!

In my experience it’s easy to judge things as lame and to tell yourself that you’re too cool for that thing, but that winds up not being fun, and you wind up missing out on a lot of stuff that you actually would’ve enjoyed if you let yourself get into it. Learn to be open to trying new types of experiences and you’ll wind up having more fun in life!

This exactly. At the broadest range you can say there are certain qualities that are more prevalent in one age group compared to another age group, but at the individual person level those trends are meaningless. Any individual person can be conservative or liberal, be caring or selfish, be x or y.

10 years? Hahahahahaha, sure

In what way is the hardware locked down? Is this something new with the M chips?

Phones play movies. If they make the seatback system annoying then people will just stop using it and download movies from Netflix or wherever

I have no info guess about this, but i strongly guess that the arpeggio sign goes to the left of a flat sign

If you just add "hi’ to the beginning then it’s a perfect middle. “Hello, who is this?” Nothing is better than letting it go to voicemail, but sometimes you’re in a situation where you might be expecting a call from an unknown number

To me it sounds like OP’s opener is exactly for people who aren’t contacts saved in his phone. It sounds perfect to me

Yup this is the answer. In the past people had put on black makeup and did horribly awful racist caricatures of black people. As a result putting on black makeup itself came to mean you’re doing racist stuff. IMO i think that far in the future if racism is eliminated then people will be able to put on dark makeup and it’ll be seen as fine. But none of us reading this sentence are gonna be alive to see that point

I haven’t mixed up anything. Smaller to bigger to smaller again is not a linear progression in size going always upward, which is what happens in games and in people’s misconceptions.

The title and the meme are correct. Many people think that evolution means a line of becoming bigger and physically stronger and having more powerful offensive capabilities and smarter and faster etc. But in reality evolution can just as easily mean becoming smaller, weaker, dumber, and slower

Even if we used piezo, the movement of the hammer would still have to come from some power source, which would still be the same sources like moving steam, water, or wind.

Solar photovoltaic is the only one i can think of that isn’t just a fancy way to make steam

EDIT

ok let’s clarify to say a method that isn’t related to movement of a fluid that spins a turbine. So not windmills (air is a fluid), not hydro, not geothermal, etc.
