Smells Great

1000°c seems accurate:

Fun little science fact: Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of. It's called Black Body Radiation. The color chart shows what temperatures correspond with various "colors" of glow.

Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of
True only if light emissions aren't dominated by chemical effects or filtered by structural effects. Plenty of materials burn at different colors. Although if you wait out the chemical reactions and keep it heated, it does eventually end up with just blackbody radiation too 🤷
Unless it is a gray body. For somewhat accurate measurements you must do math.
But corrected by emissivity factor. Emissivity factor is also not constant, and changes as both a function of material and temperature. Probably associated with band gap fluctuating wrt. Temperature
Aluminium doesn't glow, even when molten though?
- That simply means it must melt below 600°C.
  A quick wiki check says it melts at 660. I guess if you're in a really dark room, you could see the glow.
- Real bodies are gray, not black.
- Eventually will glow human eye visible if you keep heating it past useful temperatures. 1000'C+ starts getting red hot.
  Doesn’t emit light as readily as iron does, especially with iron’s oxide layer building up when heated.

My friend calls pineapples 'Dragon Eggs' and tossed one into a bonfire. Pulled it out later to have the most delicious roasted sweet mythical egg ever

Sounds tasty. I can vouch for lemons undergoing a similar transformation. Wrap them in foil, seal it really well, and chuck them near a fire or bbq. They come out soft, sweet, and delicious.
- I would like to subscribe to lemon facts.
- Before Maillard invented his reaction in 1912, you would have just gotten a burnt lemon
Like, in the middle of the fire? For how long? Wanna try it in the future
- Tossed it in when the fire was at peak flame, and then waited for the wood to burn, the pineapple looked like a big piece of black coal
Mother of pineapples
Roasted pineapple is delicious. Coat it on some brown sugar, roast it, then carve off the toasted bits. Repeat.
- Isn’t the pineapple sweet enough that sugar could be omitted?
- I need to try that

Related, but off topic.

If you ever visit Taiwan, be sure to eat the local pineapples. We have one of the sweetest pineapple and we eat the core of the pineapple. The core is actually crunchy, like the constancy of a crispy pear.

good to know

I've been watching Tech Ingredients search for the best shield material to test their Drone destroying extreme high power laser setup indoors for obvious reasons.

It turned out to be fruits/veggies. Nothing else came close. So he went with panels filled with thickened water.

That makes sense. The specific heat of water is a real bastard to overcome.
I'm personally skeptical of laser based weapons, given that they have one wavelength. once one is developed and deployed, it will be trivial to paint drones with a reflective paint specific for that wavelength.
The results is a nation investing 100s of millions on a weapon, that once deployed will be countered by 1000s $ of spray paint.
imagine if you could get a t-shirt that could deflect a any bullet. that's what still happen with laser based weapons.
- We will see. Militaries are making laser based anti drone weapons, and anti aircraft weapons are expected "soon"
  Green lasers seem popular
- I think that wouldn't necessarily work once you get to the right wavelengths for it to start interacting with the organic bases of the paints. There's only so much you can do when someone shoots an infrared laser at the resonant frequency of a C=C double bond.
ooo, i never thought of using blue tape the way he does, to keep crumbs and shit off a surface i was going to be finishing/sealing later. that's a good idea
edit: also i guess if i show up to a protest strapped in cukes, you all now knnow why
Huh, well keystrokes for later

"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!...Wait, is that...pinapple skin armour?? Oh, shit, I'm so fucked!"

(Dragon does dragon stuff)
Sir Pinappleus the Hawaiian: You absolute fool.

so does this make my balls permanently sweet or what

Knights Of The Pineapple! Arise!

I hurt my knee; can I remain seated?
- they said arise, not stand up. grab that little piston lever on the side of your seat and scooch upward an inch

Why was the pineapple discarded? They could have eaten it 😭

Don't worry. It's a black deck, so the graveyard is exactly where the pineapple wants to be.
and what happened to the card
- It got dissed.
  What it did to deserve that, we might never know. . .
I know, right? I'll even eat the stickers, nothing goes to waste!
I believe it's just the skin
- Right but it says “the skin of a discarded pineapple” — meaning the pineapple was discarded, not the skin. Just a silly grammar joke.

Fake news: the underside of the ball is room temperature. Nice fucking try though.

This gives me God Emperor of Dune vibes.

It's only valid if it's the RHNB.
