But what’s your straight line distance to the Parthenon?

The Addams Family, the black and white show from the 60s. It’s actually pretty great.

I think the UK still uses pounds for money. Pizza is one of those weird things that is frequently measured in inches even in otherwise metric nations.

They use different methods of putting heat into water.

A microwave turns the electricity into RF radiation that is absorbed by the water. To produce that radiation, the input electricity is converted to thousands of volts by a DC power supply. So regardless of whether it’s 120 or 230 input voltage, it all gets converted to the same high voltage DC to run the magnetron.

A classic electric kettle works by running the current from the outlet through a resistive heating element. Double voltage means double heat.

Induction heaters use a power supply to reduce the input voltage while increasing amps and frequency to heat metal through inductance. So, similar to a microwave, the voltage of the outlet is largely irrelevant.

Tl;Dr: microwaves and induction heaters change the supplied voltage to function, so they work the same in UK and US; resistive heaters work faster on 230v like the UK uses.

When I first started my business I had to rely on food stamps to stay afloat for a few months after my savings ran out, but it let me keep trying and now I’ve been gainfully in business for over 15 years. Just anecdotal, but I would have had to give up or starve without assistance.

People can live comfortably and still work hard. It’s almost like poverty doesn’t encourage work, but infact only makes life more difficult and stressful in myriad ways, ultimately decreasing effective productivity.

The biggest recipients of government handouts are the billionaires. And how do they repay us? By evading over $150 billion in taxes every year. That’s more than every EBT and WIC program combined.

It doesn’t need to be published in a scientific journal. Publication in journals is the most streamlined way to go through the process, but you could publish your hypothesis and methodology to a blog and potentially get the same benefits.

Even patents need to be published. Publication is how discoveries are shared and verified.

Wild albatross can live into their 70s

In The Pick of Destiny they’re 50 miles from Los Angeles when the cops try to pull them over and the song Car Chase City begins.

They arrive in LA less than one minute into the song, making their average speed over 3000 miles per hour.

Given the aerodynamic properties of a Cutlass Supreme, they are both cooked, and countless windows in LA have been shattered by the sonic boom.

Don’t call it a comeback, it’s been here for years
Connecting all peers, putting Comcast in fear
Makin the tiers blow off like a typhoon
Now watch how the bandwidth blooms
Transmissions, not expiring
All the competition, it’s inspiring
Mom & pops, online shops
The benefit of equal access rocks

They don’t, this person is wrong.

Looks a bit like a Tesla charger too.
