The weight is an important feature: Cast iron has higher heat capacity and won't lose heat as fast when food is added. This is why cast-iron should be your go-to pan when searing a steak, for example. The downside is that they take lon

Tap water doesn't necessarily have any more or less mineral content than bottled mineral water. The variation between mineral water brands and the variation between tap water sources (mostly: well water vs surface) is much larger than

Drag. Recall, wind resistance is proportional to the square of velocity. The vast majority of energy goes into overcoming drag, even at regular highway speeds. Remember when we capped speed limits at 55mph during the '70s energy crisis

We've come from far, far worse. To suggest that global trade is a dead end is an absurdity -- founding the UN and fostering trade has brought enormous and unprecedented levels of progressive prosperity across the globe. Dead end? Only

The best way to bring countries into the fold of western civilization, to convince them to adopt our beliefs and values, is to engage with them in trade. Exclusionary tactics have not had great results, historically.

No, it wasn't. They also used to ask for high school transcripts if you didn't graduate college -- even for senior folks with decades of experience. Google's interviewing process used to be extremely absurd. They have reforme

PeopleSoft came by my high school to solicit two folks in our computer class for internships. One was me, the other a friend of mine. I suspect our teacher played a part in setting it up; my friend and I had basically completed the coursewo

They can't really verify, because many have large non-salary compensation structures, comprising somewhere from 10% to 1000% (or even much more) of their base salary. Repeat after me: "Well, taking into account my current schedule

The phrase you object to is an invitation to consider the points which were raised in the paragraph just above. I think a reasonable person can immediately see the error.

You declare "there is no flaw" and then you proceed to describe it in detail. Surely you can see the flaw in this new line of reasoning as well?

Atherton, California is a well-defined region with a rather fabulous level of wealth. Are you suggesting that the town of Atherton ought to be able to vote for independence, in order to avoid paying state and federal taxes? May any geograph

Even in cities there are extremely good odds that the person will be known to the local law enforcement. The local police knew the perp in almost every encounter I've had where I witnessed a crime. Whether or not they care may still an

Sorry bud, the guy you're arguing with is correct about what I said. I stand by my original statement regarding correlation. Your assumption that there's a causal claim is your own mistake. This has been made clear; there's n

Nah. I'm a millionaire and I wouldn't risk prison for 200k. Wealth is indeed a proxy measure for certain behaviors, but you're ignoring other even more important behaviors like impulse control and an eye for risk analysis. Mo

Facebook interns are paid, and paid quite well. It is, in fact, illegal to not pay an intern in the state of California if the intern performs beneficial work. Your entire rant is predicated on untrue assumptions.

No, because the heat is radiated through infrared -- not conduction and convection. Any heat transfer by conduction/convection is going to be warming the thing you want to cool and will be working counter to the purpose of the device.
