Far fewer people know that 0° and 100° in Fahrenheit also correspond to specific real-world values. 0°F corresponds to a temperature where a brine is made of equal parts ice, water, and ammonium chloride. Such a brine, interestingly, is a frigorific mixture, meaning that it stabilizes to a specific temperature regardless of the temperature that each component started at. Thus, it makes for a really nice laboratory-stable definition of a temperature. Similarly, 100°F was initially set at “blood heat” temperature, or the human body temperature. While not super precise, it was a fairly stable value. As good as anything in the early 1700s.

I think the brine probably froze at 0° F, which ended up correlating to 32° F for regular water. And the body temperature at 100° F ended up correlating to 212° F for water to boil. That’s the way I understand it anyway.

I sort of fit that category. I am aware of self-hosting, even somewhat interested. But I know absolutely nothing about it, and if I’m being honest, too lazy to research it.

Truthfully, I haven’t owned my own PC/Laptop in over a decade. I just use the one I get from work if I need to do something on a computer. I preferred gaming on a PS4/5 so I could just relax on the couch with a controller instead of sitting in a chair at a desk. I recently got a steam deck and love it. I want to poke around desktop mode some more so I can get more familiar with Linux.

D) All of the above.

So, when I was in highschool (circa 1996-ish) I couldn’t sleep one night. Decided to walk down to the 7-11. There were a few pinball games in there that I played before, but never really took it seriously. Popped in the quarter and got my ass handed to me. Decided, fuck it, I have nothing better to do at midnight in North Dakota. Popped in another quarter. Ended up hitting the multiplier in the top left corner. This machine was so worn out that I kept pushing the pinball into the multiplier slot. It got stuck and just bounced around there for a while. I eventually lost the ball, but now I knew the secret. Put the ball in the upper left corner. Every game after that I would aim for the upper left corner and it would just stick up there earning points. I eventually got bored at like 2 am and left the machine with like 65 free games from all the points I gathered. Fun as hell.

How is it for Civil work?

Retirement is a function of money/wealth, not age.

If you’re immortal, you’d (not you specifically, just whoever in general) have to be a complete tool to go through hundreds/thousands of years without generating at least enough wealth to retire at some point.

Not me. Winter time is the best time of the year in AZ.

😭 I woke up sick today.

I don’t use any other social media sites. I don’t even have accounts to them.

I prefer flavored (not sweetened) iced tea and drink it almost daily. I absolutely love the smell of coffee grounds, but loathe the taste of coffee. To me it tastes like I imagine a burnt asshole tastes. …Let the downvotes commence…

I’m usually in bed and asleep between 8-9 pm. But my alarm goes off around 3:45 am.

Luckily I’m one of those people that can fall asleep anywhere and within 5 minutes of me laying down.

What if I rent to family members under market value?

A friend got me my job.

Construction Management.

10+ years at the same company.

That sounds pretty cool. Thanks!
