They’re building a school near where I live and they’ve got these things all around the site. Problem is, there’s an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you’re halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn’t barreling towards you at 30MPH.
God, I used to bike around here.
I don’t think we’re really getting anywhere with this, but that’s kinda my point.
Take a large pan and set it off-center on the smallest burner on your stove top. The entire pan will get warm, yes, but the part directly over the flame is going to get the hottest.
The cpu is the flame, the pan is the phone. If you have to wrap the pan in some sort of protective coat, but want to effectively dissipate heat with the smallest hole possible, the smartest design would be to place the opening over the source of the heat, not the center of heat sink.
If the cpu is in the top corner of the phone, the top corner of the phone is going to get significantly warmer than the rest of the phone (in terms of thermal dissipation). Putting a vent hole in the center where there’s less heat while having the warm part covered makes no sense.
More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they’re the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.
If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that’d be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.
Lots of phones use the aluminum body as a heat sink, so it kind of is how it works.

I guess a skyscraper sized spider would be enough to warrant at least a yelp from the supposed all powerful world ending being.
Morgoth is such a bitch though. He literally got attacked by his spider bro when he tried to betray her and got so spooked he screamed so loud all of Middle Earth heard it.
The fact that he let Frodo and Sam go with the Ring to complete their quest (in the movies as well) shows that he could resist it better than Boromir.
I like how it’s:
If you love America and are pissed about … please contact me.
… and not, “if you’re a good bassist looking for a band”. Tells you all you need to know about the quality of music they’re gonna put out.
I will always provide LotR information where I can!
Oromë is one of the Valar, essentially demi-gods in Tolkien’s universe. He’s like the huntsmen God.
The battle of the Valar might refer to the Battle of Powers, in which the Valar fought against Melkor (another Valar, but evil and very powerful) and his army for basically trying to take over the world, or it could refer to the War of Wrath, which was fought between the Valar, men, elves, and dwarves against Melkor (now named Morgoth) over the Silmarills (very fancy powerful gems made by one of the elves) and, well, the taking-over-the-world thing again.
None of this is referenced in the original book(s), so as a reader you just think, “Theoden (King of Rohan, a major city of men) is a badass, he’s getting compared to some made up God.” But when you’ve got the context, it’s one of those inexplicable hype feelings.
It’s a pretty wide range, I’m included at 27 and I’ve got a couple friends younger than I am who’d probably get it too.
He dug too deep, and too greedily.
I’ve got no idea what this is supposed to say or mean 🤷🏾♂️
I’m not defending their comment (because I’m not even really sure what its stance is), but I do want to clarify that they don’t seem to be arguing that we’re low-IQ rather than autistic; rather, I think the argument is that when low-IQ people see “normal” IQ activities, the low-IQ person will chalk it up to neurodivergence.
Like in their example, a low-IQ person would see a neurotypical person folding their laundry and think, “huh, they must be on the spectrum”.
Chat, is this ableist?
Nice! Looks good.
It doesn’t really. It’s a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.
The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don’t think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.
