Thank you for the correction on my terminology. Oil doesn't dissolve in soap and soap doesn't dissolve in water, emulsions are not solutions.
However, I think the general point about oil attaching to the soap and the soap attaching to the water still stands. I would still say that "the soap attaches the oil to water" isn't quite right. Per your statement, the soap attaches to both oil and water on opposite sides of the molecule, so the oil isn't really attached to the water - at least not directly. That was the thing I was trying to articulate.
But you also remind me of something a chemistry professor once told me: it's not the soap that cleans, it's not the heat that cleans, it's the physical scrubbing action that cleans. Soap and heat make it much easier, but if you add soap and hot water to a burnt dish and leave it to soak, everything will stay exactly where it is (separated) until you add physical energy to move things.
Why are you hitting Win+R and using it to crop screenshots when you could just use Win+Shift+S and take the screenshot properly to begin with? Snipping Tool also allows you to do basic doodles, and it even has the ability to move straight to Paint if you want to do anything slightly more advanced.
Yeah but if they did that they wouldn't be able to snoop and steal content from their users.
It utterly disgusts me that Microsoft charges you for the software they use to harvest your data. At least Facebook and Google can maintain the facade that it's an exchange of data for access to the service (it never was).
its raster graphics editor included in every version of Windows since 1985
Incredibly misleading. The new version of Paint in Windows 11 is a completely different piece of software, and older versions of Windows (10 and below) will not have this function.
The day I can no longer use Windows 10 will be the day I move to Linux. I've already started using virtual machines for certain things so maybe performance will go up there.
The soap doesn't work by attaching oil to water, the soap attaches to the water and then the soap is carried away by the water. Oil doesn't dissolve in water, but oil dissolves in soap and soap dissolves in water. So long as you use enough of an excess of soap and mix it together enough, you'll be fine.
Definitely agree with rinsing the drain before, during, and after, though. Especially as most mammal oils become less viscous (slightly runny) at higher temperatures.
Apparently I was mistaken, I think I skimmed the article while I was at work and drew the wrong conclusion. Lauren Windsor was not supporting Alito, she was exposing him.
However Frank Schaeffer did indeed kickstart the abortion movement with his movie 1,000 Dolls, as well as a bunch of other films he made for Reagan. There's a BBC podcast called Things Fell Apart that goes into it in its first episode, it's well worth a listen. So is the rest of the series, it's all about the birth of various culture wars.
My go to phrase for Mormons is something like "I believe that, if there is a God, he wouldn't be so vain as to require constant worship, and instead he would just want us to 'live in his image'".
It's fun watching the cogs turn in their heads when you say something like that.
