Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure :) It’s a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.

1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.

If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.

NAND and NOR are swapped. Pretty good otherwise 😄

Huh, it’s actually correct. I remembered the logic gates but not how they translate to words, heh.

Here’s how it works. Thanks to everyone who pointed it out. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan’s_laws

There’s a trans/egg joke in here somewhere…

This is how I feel a lot of times. But I did at least have the sense to go for Endeavour rather than straight to Arch (and prior to that, Manjaro and Ubuntu).

Misread this as MO (Missouri) for a sec and I was ready to be flabbergasted.

Anyway, good job Maryland!

Also, water is an amazing coolant. At the molecular level its hydrogen bonding contributes to a bulk property called heat capacity that ends up much higher than most other substances, meaning it can soak up a ton of energy per unit volume (and later release that energy, e.g. into a turbine). And there’s even more of that heat capacity in the phase transition from liquid to steam and back. It’s crazy good.

It’s also super cheap and abundant. The main reason water isn’t the coolant for nearly everything is that it can be corrosive. Also steam can be quite dangerous due to all that energy it carries.

A surprising number of plastic/rubber components used in cheap electronics accessories will offgas. You notice an odd smell, that’s literally petrochemicals entering your nostrils by the millions. Some of them can mimic biomolecules like hormones. I’m not saying they’re necessarily all harmful but there needs to be a lot more research.
