Obviously a good joke, and of course obligatory cal/kcal discrepancy here. This just seems like a good place to put this info:

Calories on labels are for calories absorbed, not for calories in the food (same with the 4/9/4 rule). So it'd be much less for gasoline, if it were possible to label with nutritional info.

A team? Hell, Ferrari is a good weekend away from being in the mix too. 3 way WCC fight with 7 people fighting for race wins? Incredible.

From a philosophy standpoint, Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. It's a brutally tough read, but a very interesting perspective of a Holocaust survivor and some of the more "mundane" parts (which were still horrific) in between the parts most people know about. The philosophy that follows is interesting.

It's certainly not without it's faults and criticisms, though.

I mean, they are changing the entire world...

That's a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:

"I bet I just put my compass down and kicked every 4 degrees"

Game is such an unbelievable slam dunk for me. Outer Wilds.

But if I could forget two, it'd be Outer Wilds twice because it's an incredible story

I don't know that non-lawyers need to figure out exactly what it means, but in an ideal world: if you pay for something that includes a continuation of services and the services stop continuing, you should be compensated fairly. I am not smart enough to word that in a way that can't be worked around, "gotcha'd", etc. but I'm guessing the spirit of the rules is fairly common ground for anyone who isn't trying to rug-pull a service out from under those they sell it to.

For the first example, absolutely. If some execs have a meltdown, it could change future services but anyone who was promised Disney+ on their Tesla with no limit on it should get a fair refund. I understand that there's a slippery slope argument here, and no– the value of Disney+ in a car isn't 100% the value of it. But it's BS that a manchild having an Internet meltdown loses people a service they had and "paid for"

Oh I wasn't even thinking of it, but for secondary in iron that is probably perfect. Still not gonna be able to continuously anneal or anything due to the massive amount of thermal mass needed, but for the "spot" stuff that sounds perfect

I also have no idea about titanium production and it could easily be useful there

I will say, from my time being a process engineer in metals:

-Everything runs 24/7 cuz the equipment is so expensive and there's always too much demand

-furnaces are gas, probably too hot to reach in a reasonable space with electricity

Totally agree with storing temperature/water locally as a battery, especially at home levels
