My favorite class in grad school. I absolutely loved deriving the laws of thermodynamics from first principles based the random motion of atoms. It was beautiful.
Steel etching with Winsteard's reagent. It is a bit dangerous because if done wrong it forms explosive dust. It was also long and tedious because the liquid must be near boiling and stirring so it evaporated quickly and has to be topped off and brought back to temperature often. The etch itself requires a long temper of a quenched sample and has an iterative process of etching and back-polishing to gradually remove surface roughness but leave the slightly deeper grain boundaries.
It took several hours of preparation and several hours of active work per sample and even then had a 50/50 success rate. I was professionally trained by a third party who learned this process from the person who perfected it, George Vander Voort.
I think the character was obscure enough. I thought it had me on it's third try when it asked if my character wore a headset, but then it went down the wrong path.
Foodservice jobs are primarily for rent but secondarily for hookups, so yeah. There's something carnal about feeding people that pulls out other carnal behavior.
Depends on temperature and pressure. This diagram doesn't go that low, but I would guess it's a solid in the near vacuum of space based on what I know of space ice like Saturns rings and comet tails.
That's a phase diagram, there's probably lots of cool things going on in the solid state below that line. Probably different ratio solids at each peak. 1:4 3:2 etc. The % are goofy because it is reported by weight but behaves based on count.

One of the local roasters sells whole bean at Costco so that is my go to. I occasionally splurge on local fresh roasted single origin, one in particular that is my favorite local bean.
I got a cheap conical burr grinder 16 years ago. I've had to replace a resistor 3 times but otherwise working great.
I love to use my stainless French press but most days brew a pot on the Keurig out of convenience. The wife doesn't like the silt and it's not worth brewing two batches different ways. If I am alone I'll French press it.
Define your standard of clean. How much clutter do you want? How much dirt is OK?
Then break tasks up - decluttering, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and schedule each as often as is needed.tp.mwet the above standards.
My personal standard is to do light vacuuming and decluttering every day. Dishes and cleaning kitchen +dining room at least daily, sometimes twice as needed. Bathroom cleaning and more extensive vacuuming every week. Dusting and mopping every couple weeks.
Most of my non-floor surface cleaning is done with method pink or 409 and microfiber cloths. A battery Dyson vacuum was a game changer and makes touch ups way easier; no wrangling with cords, just grab it off the wall charger and push it around for a few minutes hitting spots you can see dirt.
Nature's miracle is great for pet or kid messes, I use both the hardwood and carpet formulas.
