  • You have to eat approximately 10 bananas for rdv of potassium.

    rdv for potassium is 4500mg. A banana contains approximately 420-550mg of potassium.

    While 70 bananas is probably not going to kill you, ld50 for potassium is 2500mg/kg, that much potassium can exacerbate some heart problems.








  • I had been using linux in some capacity (dual-boot, alternate computer, homelab, etc.) for close to twenty years, but there was always some functionality (mostly gaming) that held me back from switching fully. Then something like two or three years ago Proton/Wine finally got to where basically everything I wanted to run was able to run with no more effort on my part than doing the same thing under Windows. At that time I had been dual-booting Windows and Fedora for a little over a year and Windows/Manjaro for about a year prior to that and hadn’t had to boot into windows for almost six months. So, I formatted the Windows drive and haven’t looked back.



  • not for D&D, but in wargames with minis and terrain and stuff, I absolutely want to know the trajectory of the artillery shells being fired on my position. As well as the blast radius of the detonation and (if applicable) the size of the fireball and radius in which any shrapnel might be an issue.

    Gotta know how many of my men are left and if their fortifications are left standing.



  • The minimum is about 80 Jupiter Masses. Smaller than that and you can’t start fusing.

    Maximum size is harder to answer. It’s determined by the Eddington Limit. Which describes the luminosity at which radiation pressure is enough to overcome gravity for a certain mass.

    It’s thought that the maximum mass of a star is somewhere around 150 solar masses, but there’s some evidence to contradict this, as we’ve seen a handful of very old stars with masses or luminosities higher than they should be.

    Throw in British Columbia and Alaska while you’re at it. Just take the entire west cost of North America.

    And what should be the east coast, since if the international date line didn’t do that weird curve at the end of the Aleutians, Alaska would be the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state.




  • A couple of years ago I lived in a house with a few friends that we rented from one of their parents. They had a somewhat extensive homeassistant setup. We set up a couple of fun automations.

    -Enter 8675309 on a keypad by the door - Play the song at full volume

    -Enter 911 - Play police sirens at gradually increasing volume

    -Enter 420 - Play that one sample of Snoop Dogg saying “smoke weed every day.”

    -Leave the fridge or freezer door open for more than five minutes, start playing Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al at full volume and set all of the lights to red.
