Y’all mad at it being AI, but I think you might have missed out on a very fun thermodynamics problem… How cold does it need to be outside to keep the beer at a chilled drinking temperature, but also how thick does the insulating layer need to be between them and the beer to keep them comfortable, without going hypothermic? I’ve been out of the physics game for a while so I cheated and asked AI.
- “Chilled beer” target: 4 °C - Skin temperature (inner surface facing the beer): ≈33 °) - Beer thermal conductivity ≈ 0.6 W/(m·K) - Heat-loss budget (steady-state) for comfort at rest ≈ 80 W per m² - Required foam liner ≈ 9.4 mm (0.37 in)Kind of bulky for an average outing but given a certain situation or event!

ImperialATATto News•Stephen Miller Yells About American City ‘Bloodbath’ in Unhinged Rant14·6 months agoWhat I heard in there is that America is one of the most dangerous places on earth because of gun violence. Weird that republicans say guns keep us safer, and that we should keep the most devastating weapons legal, and must absolutely lower the bar to the lowest level so anyone can obtain them in the name of American liberties. This administrations is filled with maggots that will continue fueling themselves off the dead bodies resulting from gun violence, while pinning the blame on the boogeyman, and not their policies and agendas.
Maggots.

ImperialATATto Today I Learned•TIL that the characters of Vasquez in Aliens (1986) and the stepmother in Terminator 2 (1991) were played by the same actor, Jenette Goldstein, apparently donning brownface for the earlier roleEnglish174·11 months agoI think the groundbreaking part was Dan O’Bannon’s note in the Alien script that gave us more amazing characters in Aliens.
“At the start of Dan O’Bannon’s script for Alien, there’s a note that few other screenplays contain: “The crew is unisex and all parts are interchangeable for men or women.” It’s a line that fundamentally altered the nature of the film, affecting everything from the presentation of its characters to the way Ridley Scott and his team approached casting, and it was certainly for the best.”

Just checking my recollection. G.I. Joe had the hovercraft and Cobra had the hydrofoil right? Did anyone ever make a stadium sized hydrofoil?
