I remember there being something misleading about the "temperature" in pV=nRT, but yeah, I think I was getting confused because I was thinking about it purely formulaicly.

But if the pressure drops and the volume of the gas increases, in order for it to cool, that would mean the drop in pressure is much less significant than the rise in volume?

But yeah, I should've remembered that expanding gasses cool, because I know how aerosol cans work. It's time to touch up on this stuff lol.

This is my high school chemistry talking here, but don't expanding gasses heat up? Ideal gas law and everything? Is there something weird happening like the CO2 instantaneously pressurizing or something right before expanding?

And to think all those times I cursed CORS under my breath. Doing God's work.

Same (I wouldn't have paid Reddit, but I did donate to boost), but this comment was funny because "The Big R" is what my friend and I call Roblox.

The board lacks general scalability.

The entire shower thought already accepts the premise of Christianity. Otherwise there's no conversation here. I already said that I'm not religious. I just know enough about the Christian faith and theology to entertain an argument under that premise.

There's no way to rebut the argument you're trying to rebut without circular logic of "the bible is true because the bible says it's true".

Also, yes. That's not a flaw of the argument—that's pretty much the fundamental idea of God as Logos. Look into it if you want to, but I'm not here to force anyone into any belief. I just encourage people to understand things before they criticize them.

Additionally, I'd suggest that you look into the idea of God as Logos. Your idea of omnipotency has been criticized before, mathematically.

I feel like I have to put the disclaimer that, although I am spiritual, I'm not religious. Anyway:

then Jesus dying wasn't the only way.

Correct. I don't think many people, Christian or otherwise, really disagree with you here. I chose to drive 20 minutes to eat ramen today. Was that the only way? Well, only way to what, exactly? To feed myself? No—there are plenty of closer options with which I could've sustained myself, but in my picking the ramen, I now have satisfied that craving which I've had for a few weeks. Even though I won't still taste the ramen two days from now, I'll still be satisfied that I had some today.

In the case that you are trying to make a legitimate criticism of the story rather than the vapid "Christianity is stupid" posts that dominate this platform, I'd prompt you to be much more specific in what you mean by "way." The only way to what? What specifically are you positing was God's goal in allowing the crucifixion of Jesus?

Personally, I take the Bible as almost entirely allegorical. So if you want my subjective take on this post, it's about as good as asking why Superman has to be weak to kryptonite.

I presume "vibe coder" stands for Visual Besic?

The Legend of Korra spoilers:

spoilerKorra doesn't stakelessly get her bending back 15 seconds after losing it to Amon. They had the opportunity to give her the self-discovery arc that they tried to shoehorn into the post-Zaheer poison recovery.

The series could've had much better footing, in my opinion, if Korra had wrestle with that just a bit longer. Instead, a bunch of bald people show up and say, "I got you, Holmes," and then she's good as new.

It's been a while, and I've lost some of my steam over this. But yeah, that's the only one I've got the energy to type out right now.

I mean, in all of those circumstances I just hold my breath. I'm certainly not wanting to breath in a bad smell through my mouth.

But if the question is can I elect to breath through my mouth without pinching my nose, the answer is yes. I wouldn't describe it as "shutting my nose," though, so maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

I start next Monday, what now?

Hi! Unfortunately I got sick for Christmas and had to stay home; but as I was trying to rest, it almost felt like I physically could not keep up with my mind. It felt uncomfortable to think idly, and of course there wasn't much I could do to help that. Not sure if I tried meditating, and if I did, I didn't say "I'm gonna meditate now," if you know what I mean.

I've tried looking it up and the results mostly talk about "brain fog," and while that may have been a small part of it, I wouldn't describe this experience as such.

Has anyone else had this experience? Like normal ADHD brain is exhausting and hurts while sick?

 
 

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
