Ice is made up of water molecules. Very tiny things.

When water molecules move around really fast, that’s the exact same as them being hot. They are steam when they move around a lot, and steam is hot - and a gas. Steam might even be so hot it hurts - that’s because they’re smashing into the molecules in your body and making them move around too even when they shouldn’t and could damage you. Your body senses this and sends you pain signals so that you know to move away from the steam.

Water molecules can also stick together. With steam, the molecules move so much that they’re just bouncing around all over the place and the stickiness doesn’t really matter. If two water molecules stick together in steam, other ones are likely to ram into them and break them up This is why steam billows out in all directions. When water molecules in steam cool down, as in slow down, their stickiness to each other becomes a more important factor than before. The molecules still move around, just less than before. They interact with one another, keeping themselves tied together in the same general area but still moving a lot. This is why water settles into one place in a glass and why you can pour it as a room temperature liquid.

When water molecules get even cooler, the stickiness starts to matter even more. The molecules aren’t bouncing off each other much anymore, they’re just stuck together. This is what a solid is and ice is a solid.

Now, I’ve been saying stickiness, but with how small water molecules are, and what they’re made of, it’s actually very specific properties of the molecules that make them interact to “stick” together, with the strongest one being charge polarity. But that’s for a difference explanation!

Finally: so, for ice to melt, you need to get its molecules moving again. One way to get them moving is to expose them to a hot material, i.e. one that’s moving around a lot. Put your ice cube on a room temperature table and it will slowly melt because the molecules in the air and table are moving along so much that if the water molecules were doing the same they’d be in “liquid mode”. Another way is to add energy to the system in the form of radiation, which induces movement within the molecules and, therefore, between them since they’re in close proximity. The reason it makes them move is complicated and is literally quantum mechanics so I’ll also leave that for a different explanation.

There is never a counterargument and you were no exception.

Dems use the threat against women’s bodies as a way to buy your vote. They don’t actually do the thing they could’ve done at points over the last several years, i.e. codify abortion rights into law at the federal level.

They also could’ve gotten RBG to resign or had literally any fight whatsoever over Garland. Instead they immediately made paper thin excuses and their voters happily clapped along. They even characterized the (milquetoast) call for RBG to resign as sexist, lol.

Y’all are a domesticated animals to your political class and the only thing you seem to be able to do is to try and get others to join you on your path to the abattoir.

I was taught that lying was wrong as a child yet Democrats keep lying to me about being a Trump supporter while being condescending.

Can you explain why lying to someone about something they already know is actually good and smart? Make sure to treat me like an idiot.

Don’t worry Dems are doing a way better job campaigning for Trump by openly supporting genocide.

You could also recognize that voting is a rigged process and is in no way the limit of political action. You can then choose to do things that are better than using bad game theory to try to get people to vote for a genocide.

And we are still right.

ext4 for system partitions and zfs for anything dedicated to personal data storage.

I recommend installing a Linux distribution that requires a hands-in approach like Gentoo or Linux from scratch. If you don’t have an extra computer you can do it on a virtual machine on the computer you do have.

The process will require you to use the various incantations and rituals of using the terminal. As you do so, learn what they do by googling them or using their man page.

For more practice, write a shell script or otherwise choose a task you want to do using the terminal like browsing through your files or searching for a file whose name matches a pattern and so on.

You can’t degoogle without using a ROM that degoogles. Google has built itself into the Android operating system by default and replacing it is non-trivial, like using a ROM with microG.

As another commenter mentioned, though, you can partially degoogle in other ways.

Ah, evolutionary psychology. The realm of making shit up and somehow getting to be a professor for doing so.

After the candidate leaves the room: "okay so we don’t know their advisor and they’re not from a prestigious program so that’s an automatic no, right? Glad we could get the token plebian out of the way so we can look at the serious candidates. Sorry, Wendy, I know you planned on collaborating with them and said some things about “good work” but we’ve gotta keep our ability to attract talent.

Congratulations! Reddit is mostly terrible.

If you want to participate in some niche communities I can understand wanting a new account. Most likely they’re tracing you through these things, with the first ones being more likely:

• Email address (hopefully you’re using different ones but this is an easy way for them to associate accounts).

• IP address.

• Browser or phone fingerprinting.

For your IP address you can just try to get a new one. Sometimes restarting your modem will do that. Ask Google what your IP address is before and after.

For browser fingerprinting, I’d just clear the cache and that’s probably enough. Alternatively just use a different browser for Reddit for a while.

For app fingerprinting that’s a bit harder and I’d say to just not use the official Reddit app if that’s what you were doing before.

There is usually a per-router guide on installation. Sometimes you can just use the built-in firmware flashing interface, sometimes you have to do funny things like do that twice in a row, sometimes you need to access a special interface.

One you can put openwrt on and that is fast enough for the highest 802.11 protocol your devices support

If I were you I’d probably just buy another 2020 Corolla or if I was feeling fancy a 2011.

Old stuff is your only option, imo. Almost everything in the last decade has some kind of tech bullshit in it.
