    You can clean cooking pans and pots by heating them up and then pouring water on them. As the water boils it pulls all the stuck particles off with little to no scrubbing.

    You can also make a nice sauce if you use wine or some kind of stock.

    Young children don’t warn you when they learn how to open locks. Sometimes you find out when they’re rifling through your stuff or well down the road.

    For hand sewing, pull your thread between your thumb and a block of bees’ wax a few times after threading it, and you won’t have to worry about knots nearly as much.

      And osmosis is the hyper fusion of water across a semipermeable membrane.

      I failed biology because I just refused to study (was an idiot), but that one always stuck with me.

    You can’t go faster than light because time and space are basically the same thing, and you’re always moving through both of them together at a constant rate.
    When you stand still, you move only through time, at the top speed of one second per second.
    When you start moving through space, your speed doesn’t change, only your direction. (You can visualize it as an arrow showing your speed that stays the same length, but rotates in a coordinate system from the time axis towards the perpendicular space axis.) So the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.
    At light speed, you’re moving only through space. Your movement through time is zero, so time stops for you.
    Going faster through space would mean going back in time, which would break causality.

      When you stand still

      That’s not really possible, though, right? It is at a macro level, but you’re never not moving in 3d space at small levels, right?

      To be fair, what even is “standing still”? I’m sitting in a chair in a spaceship made out of almost all the elements and water traveling around 220km/s relative to Sagittarius A.

        It’s always in relation to a frame of reference.
        Compared to earth, you’re standing still, so your time passes at the same rate as earth time.
        Compared to Sagittarius A, you’re moving through space, so your time passes slower than that of Sagittarius A.

      Cheers! I’ve never needed to know this. It will probably become relevant in future, now. So cheers for this!

      My old man was a fan of Yes, and so when they went on tour sometime around maybe 2003, I don’t recall specifically, Rick Wakeman came back to play keys for the tour, and it was a real treat.

        I think “intersect” keeps only the shared sections, so it would give you “Rick Man”, the exact opposite of what we need. We’d need an “exclusion” or an “XOR” to retain the non-shared sections.

    Socrates only knows enough to know that he doesn’t know anything.

    The reason the Oracle of Apollo said “No man is wiser than Socrates” is because no man is wise, and Socrates is only wise enough to know himself to be a fool.

    I’ve learned a few things about some stuff to the point where I can definitely say I have some experience with them.
