  • Carbonation adds bubbles. The bubbles in water dissipate very quickly, whereas bubbles in other drinks with sugars or other compounds tend to have a bit more stability in the bubbles (think about how long the foam takes to settle from a beer being poured).

    So when you force carbonate in a bottle, the bubbles tend to rise to the top, and when the pressure is released, will spray out it every direction, causing a huge mess.

    It can be managed by being very slow and methodical at adding pressure, and, more importantly, by being slow and methodical and slowly releasing the pressure. But you have to be ready for it to make a mess.

  • It's already a modification to the word to describe something smaller (a cake baked in a cup), so going back the other way seems like a redundancy.

    Like a giant pygmy hippo.

    With your knife/sword example, maybe the best analogy is describing the shortest longsword.

  • It's True Wagner. He does flyers like this and they are pretty funny.

    Obvious Plant puts products on shelves, and True Wagner puts flyers up.

    He's the same guy who did "one day blinding stew" and "conductor of this train threw up on my kid," both instant classics.

  • 404 is great, too, for coverage of those topics.

    Defector is worth a special mention in large part because it's one of the few places on the internet that still makes me laugh out loud. It's ostensibly a sports site, but when they stray off topic it's some of the best stupid shit on the internet.

  • Defector is fucking great. It's the team that made Deadspin magical, who all revolted when Deadspin got bought by private equity and run into the ground, and banded together to form an employee-owned outlet whose authors are just all great writers.

    The editor in chief of Deadspin, who fought the dumb decisions when private equity took over, ended up resigning in a blaze of glory by posting this article on the site as she left.

    She also has a great new book out on how private equity breaks things.

  • The developers of the Lemmy software are the admins of the lemmy.ml instance and are problematic. The complaint is that the software itself can't be separated from the priorities of the .ml instance.

    Piefed doesn't have the same issue, even if the flagship instance federates with .ml

  • slightly niche

    Sports is like the most mainstream of interests, and lemmy still doesn't have a critical mass of sports discussion in general, much less specific sports/leagues, specific teams, specific games/matches, or specific players.

    So I keep my reddit sports account.

    I also keep an account for my local city subreddit, and one for my career field, because Lemmy doesn't have those either.

  • wtf

  • This study analyzes historical results of three different man versus horse races (in Wales, in Virginia, and in California). The data shows that human performance decreases with temperature, but less so than horses, so that 30°C is approximately where the best humans can start outperforming the best horses that year.

    I would think that even with 15 minutes of intermittent pauses/checks, that time is still productive for cooling the animal and would add less than 15 minutes to the theoretical total if they were allowed to run the whole time.
