Yeah, the fan being completely shrouded in plastic will dampen a lot of noise. And for the price, the fan is probably well balanced and somewhat optimised. From what I recall, the dyson bladeless fans are near silent.

You're basically trading energy to move higher volume of air. The fan can move smaller amount of air at higher speed, but larger amount at a gentle breeze feels nicer and helps with circulating the air in the room better.

You could achieve it by taking that exact motor and slapping a bigger fan onto it, but that looks less cool and probably produces more noise? Maybe there's some efficiency differences if the motor is better at spinning fast, but as a spherical cow in vacuum it should be similar.

Man, remember when trying to share a link to an image from a site would give you a super tiny "no hotlinking" gif?

Why would people having a long holiday be an issue in the first place?

...funnily enough, it may actually be better for musicians if people left spotify, considering the absolute pennies they pay per stream.

All will be crabs. Riding on trains, of course.

For a moment I thought this was ProgrammingHumour and a funny response to calling someone's code undocumented.

Then I read the full post.

Tooth enamel is ~5 on mohs scale. Quartz, the most common kinda rock (afaik), is ~7. You're correct that enamel is harder than steel though, since it's ~4? Disclaimer: all of these numbers are from a quick google search.

Fun fact, this is why we know ancient people used to make bread - the way they separated wheat from the chuff included dropping it on the ground, which led to sand being in the bread and consequently destroying their teeth over a lifetime of eating it.

It's not a "no one asked you", but it is an idiom. As you can probably guess, it means more "don't help people working against your interests".

So, you'd say something like that to a pro-ICE minority person, for example.

Well, rocks in toothpaste would be very bad because they'd be harder than your teeth.

There's fungi that are eating the pacific trash patch, but the issue is that there's not much energy to be gained from plastics we use. It's slow.

Is this a Salvatore Ganacci video teaser or something?
