  • Insulation on the dishwasher is mostly for noise and stopping moisture or heat from damaging surrounding cabinets.

    The dishwasher is using new water or heating water. It is not designed to keep the same water hot for an hour plus.

    The whole back of the dishwasher is a tiny piece of plastic. Not insulated at all. Some fancy ones now put a little insulation on back.

    But the idea isn’t to keep heat trapped to wash dishes, but to keep heat from being released and damaging things.





  • You can’t check for back feeding.

    Cable coming from house to pole has no power. Electrician goes to hook up wire. Homeowner puts on generator. Electrician gets electrocuted.

    Yes the testing and hooking up could be a small window of time but a fraction of a second after testing is all it takes.



  • Space isn’t really a vacuum

    Wait what?

    Space is a vacuum.

    Could argue it’s not a perfect vacuum. We haven’t created a perfect vacuum on Earth but we have come close.

    If I have a container and remove all the air inside. I have created a vacuum. Not a perfect one, but a simple vacuum.

    If I add rocks to the container. The rocks are now in a vacuum.

    Just like space. Space is a vacuum and there is “rocks” in it.




  • Same can be said about traditional stock markets. The prices are entirely fictional there, too.

    Not true at all.

    Microsoft has 7.4B stocks outstanding.

    Microsoft has a valve as a company.

    Owning 1 stock gets you 1/7.4Bth of the physical company.

    If Microsoft goes bankrupt or dissolves you could get some value out of your share.

    There are 19.9M BTCs

    BTCs have no intrinsic value

    Owning 1 BTC gets you 1 BTC

    If BTC goes under you get nothing

    The stock market does have artificially inflated/deflated prices but they are roughly based on a company’s value. The stock is backed by the company.


  • I’m not trying to disprove you or anything, I know it’s not your paradox. Apologies that it came off that way.

    But like a tiny flake of space dust is enough to eclipse a sun for us a near infinite distance away. Matter is not going to let light through it. Even if some space dust thermalizes and radiates. The chances something like an asteroid, planet, moon, etc. Is high. Space seems mostly void, but an infinite amount of mostly void is still a lot of stuff.

    I’ll check then out!


  • Can’t we see stars that do not show up in the night sky? Like that spot looks dark to the naked eye, with a hobby telescope it looks dark, but with a space probe telescope you can see a distant star is there?

    You discounted space dust. But there has to be a near infinite amount of asteroids out there. If I wanted to see 1m lightyears into a specific spot, like the odds of not hitting an astroid would be pretty hard.

    Like if you had a Lite Brite globe with each Lite Brite peg representing a sun. In the middle of the globe it would be completely lit up. However, if you started throwing around astroids around inside the globe, you’d start blocking pegs. Suns, pegs, are still behind the astroid. It’s just blocking the light. A tiny astroid could cast a huge shadow. Even tiny space dust.




  • I’ll go check out your comment!

    I just find it funny that some Nirvana fans would listen to Plateau by the Meat Puppets and think it was Kurt Cobain singing. Like “He recorded a studio version??”

    I wouldn’t even know how you could change Africa to something else and be liked. It’s a tall order for sure. I enjoy Bob Dylan a ton but understand not everyone likes his voice or even harmonica. “All Along The Watch Tower” could easily be changed and enjoyed because it’s the music and lyrics that are loved mostly. Africa is an entire package. I enjoy Dave Matthews Band performing “All Along The Watch Tower”. He puts it in his own style some, but that style isn’t as different as Jimi.



  • Have you heard the original meat puppet versions? Nirvana basically covered them exactly.

    Not saying that’s bad. But when you look at songs like “All along the washer tower” by Jimi, or “Whiskey in the Jar” by Metallica. Those covers are completely changed to fit their style. In my mind, that’s what makes a cover great.

    A lot of Nirvana’s style is the Meat Puppets

    Good covers, but they lack original twists. Meat Puppets even played the music in the unplugged performance. So really it’s wasn’t Nirvana covering them as much as Kurt Cobain singing.

    It’s what I have against Weezer’s cover of Toto’s Africa. Good cover, but it doesn’t scream Weezer at all.


  • ~50% of men probably wear a size 9-11 shoe

    That’s a “Large” sock

    Man with a size 8 shoe could probably still wear a “Large” sock and be fine.

    ~75% of women wear a size 7-9

    Women with 6 or 6.5 should still be able to wear a 7-9 sized sock.

    Families have genetically similar feet

    I know from my experience, my father, my brother, and I all wear the same size. We all had different preferences and our own socks, but I could have easily worn their socks.


  • Where is the extra finger? I swear I can’t find it. A disappearing pinky

    I feel like most artists would make the daughter similar to their mother. I don’t see how that’s weird.

    The characters all have different and “accurate” reactions

    Sherif is stern.

    SS is annoyed.

    ICE shows some compassion

    Native American is noble

    Jew is startled

    “Illegal Aliens” are scared

    There are a lot of details in everything.

    If it wasn’t for the comments I wouldn’t think it is AI, but I do feel like people bandwagon on it. Top comment says AI, and everyone is going to say AI.


  • I think a lot of the problem is that they cheap out to maximize profit.

    They could spend 1 million dollars and make a decent game for $70.

    Or

    They could spend 2 million and make an amazing game for $140.

    But the price of the video game has been locked around 60-70 for years.

    Even if you made star wars outlaws just a little better it’s not going to sell that much more.

    Looks like it’s already at least 50% off

    You can’t spend 2 million, sell for $70, then expect your game to go on sale anytime soon.

    Spending 1 million, and selling a ton at $70 or even $35. Turns a profit.

    TL;DR: We’d get better games if we were willing to spend more
