I can still huff them though, right? How else will I know when my reaction is done?
Technically it measures how much you can heat up a known volume of water if you burn the food. We have no way of measuring how much of that energy released by combustion actually gets absorbed and translated to ATP in the body, but it’s the best estimation we have of the relative energy content of foods.
There’s some carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that our bodies don’t seem to convert to energy (or only partially convert) but still technically contain “calories” because they’re combustible. Sugar alcohols, fiber, etc.
Plutonium doesn’t combust, but it would heat up water in a calorimeter. Really the test method’s applicability kind of falls apart when you start testing undigestible materials.
La: so you gotta keep cookin that roux…
Keep it in your Gulf, America.
That’s the one you correct?
A 17 year old kid in a brand new Subaru WRX totalled my car by ramming it from behind at ~90mph. Buying a car like that for a child should be a crime, it’s like giving a kid a loaded gun.
I keep a “baby on board” sticker on my car so people will assume I’m an exhausted parent and be less likely to pull a gun on me in traffic if I do something to annoy them.
Sort of, assuming you don’t believe that God or magic are real. If I had premonitions of the future, and could demonstrate through testing that they come true, I’d be proving a phenomenon exists but not necessarily anything about the origins. They could be visions from God, making me a prophet. They could be something with a natural origin, like an energy or invisible spirits.
It’s a term used by occultists, ghost hunters, and other people who want to discuss / legitimize spooky shit without the religious baggage of the word “supernatural”.
Birds fucking love yelling. If you want to be a parrot’s best friend, start yelling at them. They think that shit’s hilarious.
It’s a page turner and a pretty quick read!
