Let them warm up for a minute
  • Ice is more dense than oil, so it sinks to the bottom of the fryer. There it turns into liquid water anathema immediately into steam. This steam needs at least 1000 times more space than the ice cube (1700 times more than water under normal pressure) and blows all the oil out of the fryer. I would expect quite a fountain. In a science fair experiment 10ml of water in a cup of hot oil gave a considerable fireball and a splash zone of about 1.5m. Dropping in a piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) just made a little bit of a fizzle.

  • Seit den 90er oder so wurden viele Krankenhäuser privatisiert, weil das mach Neoliberaler Ansicht finanziell für alle günstiger war. Die Investoren zogen Gewinne raus, investierten wenig in die Zukunft und nun stehen die Krankenhäuser vor dem finanziellen Ruin. Natürlich werden jetzt die Verluste vom Staat aufgefangen.

    Manchmal denke ich, das war der Plan von Anfang an….

  • Writing program
  • It depends on what you want to achieve.

    Vi and it’s descendants are brilliant editors for a programmer but not for writing prose. So stay away from them. ;-)

    Do you want just to write text without being distracted by an overwhelming gui or are you fine with the hint at options?

    Do you want to write in a terminal?

    How much do you want to format while typing? By typing the format commands into the text or by clicking on buttons or ctrl-key magic?

    Do you need version control?

    For each of your combination of answers there are different solutions.

  • Tuxedo Laptops?
  • They are built on a third party frame, in my case a „Clevo“. The only difference to standard notebooks is that they take care of all the drivers and select parts for Linux compatibility.

    Compare the model you want to the Clevo products. Perhaps you’ll find it there.

    I got a Framework now, much better in my eyes.

  • Teachers in eastern Germany face far-right threats
  • The official denazification ended in both parts of Germany before 1950. All the Nazis were needed. It was not talked about what individuals had done before 45.

    In the GDR it was by definition that all the Nazis had gone to the FRG. Prosecution came to a standstill. Nothing like the Zentralstelle in Ludwigsburg existed.

    The silence about the time ended in the FRG with the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt and the student movement from the mid 60ies onwards. Willy Brandt on his knees in Warsaw kicked off some hearty discussions. Later there was the Holocaust TV series with a heavy impact.

    And this is the real denazification of the population. The discourse about personal responsibility for historical events changed the society. I had such Nazi teachers in the 70ies, but they got challenged by younger teachers and older pupils. My music teacher went into early retirement after he was challenged for his current and past behaviour.

    This has reached about 2/3 of the population in the west. The rest is still authoritarian and votes for AFD and CDU. In the east authoritarianism is still wide spread, because challenging authority was not a good idea under SED rule. And after the Wende it was all sugar coated by Kohl.

    The problem will sadly grow, I fear. Because people who are not happy with the political climate can move away. And they do it, just got a new neighbour from Chemnitz.

  • Free-solo climber dies after falling hundreds of feet from ridge in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park
  • I can understand the joy of bringing your body to go to the boundary and a bit beyond. For me it end far before tackling a cliff. More like balancing over a beam across a creek. But I can’t understand how one can take the risk of your own death or the harm of others.

  • what would you do if you have a time machine
  • And after your holiday you return and find the history books changed to Columbus discovering a nearly empty continent in 1492 and a archeological record of a big, continent wide pandemic, killing nearly all of the humans. Countless civilisations crashed by mass deaths…..

  • Long time Linux user feeling burnt out
  • Same story, same tips, but I started with SuSE Linux 4.3 in 1996. Just try stuff, read the error messages, read docs and ask. A lot of peaople who know stuff are happy to help out of altruism or the chance to show off. ;-)
