Where does the induction stove measure the temperature? I'm assuming there's a thermometer near the surface of the stove, which I guess is close enough to the food to get good results.
Apparently borosilicate is only good up to ~500°C, and only for very short periods of time at that. But per my other comment there are other variations such as aluminosilicate which can withstand much hotter temperatures.
You could still spend 1,000 hours painting a blue dot on a white canvas if you used a tiny paintbrush.
The pareto frontier of possible artworks approaches higher quality with increased labor input. This doesn't mean the Labor Theory of Value isn't totally bonkers.
The idea that D&D has hoovered up so much of the world as to deny people of their own creative expression is absurd and I couldn't get past the first paragraph without thinking the author is off his rocker.
That thesis is over-reaching. What I would say, though, is that D&D has such market penetration, it's become like kleenex: the uninitiated cannot think of the concept of a TTRPG without thinking of D&D.
While other TTRPG's are still free to exist, it is much harder to convince a new player to hop on board with anything else (or to even explain to them how there are games very similar to Dungeons and Dragons that aren't Dungeons and Dragons).
It doesn't help that things like the term "DM" are patented by WotC, too.
As someone who has played for years, this is a struggle for me too. My group actually put a ban on D&D and PF as systems, and we cycle through 3-4 completely new and unique systems per year trying out everything that's out there. When people ask what I'm doing, my response is always, "We play Tabl-- We're playing D&D"
IIRC there's existing case law in copyright law about the amount of creative work required to perform "transformative work" to an existing work. I figure that essentially, if you barely touched up the photos, you'd not have "transformed" the original work, and it would remain in the public domain, but if you performed sufficiently extensive restoration, it may count as a transformation.
(going off of memory here and a bit of speculation, hope I didn't misremember it)
>Unaccounted for are the varying bone densities, muscle structures, and abdominal and chest physiologies that differentiate women from a male dummy. For example, the neck musculature of an average woman contains far less column strength and muscle mass than a man’s, making women 22.1% more likely to suffer a head injury than men
It seems to me that there are two possible root causes (assuming the vehicle is constant, i.e. not from women driving smaller cars):
1. The crash test and vehicle designs are optimized around average male physiology
2. average female physiology would be more at-risk of injury and death regardless of crash test design/vehicle design
I'd like to know more about how much each of these factors contribute. The article does not make this clear.
I spent months trying to get a valve to pass the API 622 fugitive emissions test. It never passed before I got laid off. I suspect that valve stem packing for valves at methane plants is one of the leading contributors for this.
Turns out that the big 5 have predictive power. Hard to call it "tea leaves" if it has broad correlates with human behavior that are replicable across cultures and predict forward-looking behavior.
