You mean like the convection oven I use for baking?

What’s pictured here is the Finite Element Method. Basically, the bridge is composed into little chunks, on which the physics solution is approximated by e.g. linear functions. Then one has to assemble and solve a system of equations (the matrix shown here) to determine the coefficients (i.e. slope) of those linear functions. Putting everything together gives a piecewise-linear approximation of the physics solution, and the smaller you make the chunks the better your solution gets. All of this is of course not done by hand, that’s what computers are for.

Surely the company must be liable, right guys? Right…?

Fine for stainless steel. If you do this to cast iron pans, though …

My day is ruined

Crazy that you mention gas before groceries, when food is one of the few things you absolutely need to survive

Russia had this level of obvious corruption and pillaging of state resources in the 90s, and where are they now?

The way I read it, the US donated twice as much as EU institutions, but EU countries donated as well, bringing the EU total above that of the US. Only counting EU institutions is like only counting donations made by the US federal government, but not those made by US states.

Problem is creative creators just want to get their stuff out to as many people as possible.

If that was the primary goal, why not post on all platforms?

It really depends on what you’re getting in return. If your taxes paid for your healthcare and education, things would be different

Hopefully nothing acidic like tomato sauce though, doesn’t mix well with cast iron

Small firearms go through ~10cm thick bricks but not through a computer?

Every car I’ve ever driven with such a feature only shuts off when in neutral and you let go of the clutch. For short stops, I just stay in first gear and keep the clutch pressed.

looked like a quarter but was only a half

A half is more than a quarter?

A scientist knows that every model is flawed, but some are useful.

A bigot thinks their view of the world is the only valid one, even when presented with contrary evidence.

Sounds like Durak?
