“Ambient temperature“ is even vaguer. We should start referring to different things as ambient temperature when talking about hot and/or cold things.

Totally agree. How much symbolism do you want to put into a flag anyway. Even without the torch, this flag has plenty. Also, the torch has way too much detail to work in a flag, but you could simplify it to just a wavy flame.

Maybe one day I’ll get a Cahill-Keyes projection on the wall. I think it’s useful to see how surface areas compare.

Like this

It’s great for navigating at sea, but bad for looking at the world as a whole. Nowadays most people use maps for the latter; hence the complaints.

It’s “>2000mg/kg”

To me, this says that they didn’t bother testing any doses higher than that. So, who knows how much you really need to ingest to see an effect. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That value also seems pretty reasonable, since who would replace the milk of their morning cereal with olive oil.

It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.

My guess is, the map of North Africa is really rough, because nobody actually put in the years of research time to produce a detailed map. Haven’t really tried looking for a better version, so if you find one, that bit of evidence can prove me wrong instantly. If that’s the case, the map we see here is a simplified version meant for internet audiences.

Norwegians seem lo love linguistic about as much as Finns do. Because of this enthusiasm, people have been making extremely detailed dialect maps for decades. My guess is that these two countries are the exception and the rest of the world focuses on funding other types of research.

Either way, NASA is already exploiting it. I guess, next they’ll find a way to glitch through the very fabric of the universe to teleport to a distant galaxy without moving at all or even using any energy.

Yeah, I guess that’s the only reason they haven’t done that already. Although, I’m pretty sure that eventually some ultra cheap airline company will optimize the hell out of everything like boarding efficiency, take-off weight and everything to make the tickets as cheap as possible.

Your skin can (kinda sort of) sense temperature, but what about the muscle, fat and bone that sits below the skin? If those parts get suddenly heated up, would you even notice before it’s too late? If not, this could lead to some serious damage.

What the airline company really care about is weight. To address that, they could charge you by the kilogram. If you’re heavy or bring lots of stuff with along, you would need to pay extra. This would encourage people to bring as little as possible or send their stuff to the destination through some shipping company.
