Why did lcd monitors jump from 60hz to 144hz refresh rate instead of 120 like televisions seem to be doing? 144 is such a weird and specific number.

Qubee posted:Why does the Maillard reaction occur much more readily on a stainless steel / cast iron pan, compared to on a nonstick pan? I just made some smashburgers, and the crust that formed when I used a stainless steel pan was a thing of beauty. I threw a patty on the nonstick pan just to see if it would turn out the same and, no dice. Even with the same heat and pan thickness, the one on the nonstick pan had a pitiful crust whilst the one I made in the stainless steel was crispy. To disprove the "stainless steel pan probably has more heat capacity because it's thicker" the stainless steel pan I used was the exact same as my nonstick one, except the nonstick had been scrubbed off over years of use. Did you use the same amount of fat? Neither your food nor you pan are even, so cooking on a dry pan leaves an air gap between the food an the surface of your pan.

My theory: 1. One company comes out with monitor with that refresh rate because it’s as hard as they can push the hardware. 2. It’s a commercial success. 3. All the other brands have to match it. 4. Now it’s the new standard.

Single Link DVI cabling is limited to 144hz refresh rate at 1080p, so it's been a common limit for DVI and older revisions of HDMI and DisplayPort, which are all based on DVI. Now couple that up with the fact that a much smaller number of companies actually manufacture the panels themselves, and it's easy to see why tons of 1080p/144hz panels are available to the various manufacturers. Thus, you end up with 1) The lowest-end of the product line 2) A ton of 1080p/144hz monitors in a pricing/size sweet spot 3) Premium stuff like higher res/larger monitors and the like.

As well as other people said, I'm not sure where you're looking but there was a shitload of 120Hz monitors out about 5 years ago.

Big news in football is a great QB has received allegations of sexual assault and solicitation. Can phone companies get copies of text messages that have been deleted? Like if Bob sexually solicits Bill via text, then Bill rejects the offer, then Bob pays Bill some amount of money to delete the text messages... Are those texts gone forever? What if it was over something like Snapchat or Signal?

Text messages are usually saved as data files on a phone’s SIM card, so if one party wants to produce them and still has the phone and SIM card, there’s that. Other than that, this is still the state of affairs with US cellular providers, as far as I know.

Grouchio posted:Is Imgur the only image website you can post from without getting hotlinking probes? Bandwidth is cheap and plentiful these days as well as the forums being a lot smaller. You can hotlink from everywhere. Some sites (although vanishingly few) still have hotlink redirects so images won't show up. Feel free to post from basically where ever. The days of a goon rush bankrupting an indie site owner are long gone.

Can anyone comment on the safety of PayPal for personal transactions online? I'm selling a piece of electronics and someone in another city is pretty keen on buying it, and wants to use PP. I've never used it for personal transactions before and I'm a bit worried about being scammed, for example I see the transaction go through and ship the item and then it's cancelled before I can retrieve my funds. is this a thing? Thanks for your time!

Because text messages are so small and storage is so cheap, if the network operators or the government want to archive all text messages ever sent, for all time, they can. If everyone in the U.S. sent ten messages per day, you’re looking at one hundred and seventy terabytes to store them, per year. That’s nothing. There are goons with that much storage. Now, as to whether it’s policy to store all messages that come across the wire, that’s a corporate and national secret.

Thanks for your time! If the money gets sent as a business transaction instead of a personal transaction then Paypal will take a cut but you'll get their suite of fraud protections. But I think the buyer is the one that has to do that since they're most at risk. Once the funds hit your Paypal account you should be able to "cash them out" to your bank account right away.

It could either be that the metal is somehow catalysing the reaction or simply because stainless steel has much greater thermal conductivity than teflon, (16...24 W·m−1·K−1 vs. 0.250 W·m−1·K−1) so the surface in contact with the burger stays hotter. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I use nonstick pans rarely, like when I help out in someone else’s kitchen. I have noticed worse browning than at home, but I have always assumed it was my fault due to unfamiliarity with the stove and pan. Maybe there is something to this nonstick business, though.

Isn't it just that in non-stick pans, the non-stick stuff is somewhat of an insulator so it doesn't transfer the heat properly?

These are considered neutral colors, and are easier to resell. I know that red cars are more expensive to insure. Red and blue are both popular colors where I live, even for mini cars and SUVs.

I'm leaning towards the latter. Close, staying hotter would be a higher specific heat capacity, not conductivity. However, you're right that thermal conductivity is the reason that the stainless gets better browning than the non-stick - with higher thermal conductivity the surface of the food gets hotter faster, and might even get to a higher max temp if the nonstick isn't able to transfer heat into the food quickly enough to overcome the dissipation of that energy into the bulk of the food. Stainless steel is almost definitely not catalyzing any reactions. It has a very inert surface oxide layer that doesn't react with much other than acids, and even then plenty of weak acids won't touch it.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:It's resistant to oxidation yes, but stainless steel will definitely react with proteins. It's why you have to scrape egg off a dry stainless pan. Huh, interesting, can you tell me where you read about that interaction? I don't usually deal with organic stuff on a technical level other than bird strikes, and I'm not so concerned with protein reactions in that situation. I'm genuinely curious, I don't doubt that could be the case, I just have never heard of it.

If I have a cat whose been scratching his face and inner ears silly once every few days (for the last couple months), how do I know if it's protein allergies or mange/scabies? I'm starting to think its facial mange. My dad wants to avoid calling a vet if he can afford getting commercial medicine instead.

I need to find some specifically "wet or dry" sandpaper, and most of what I can find is labeled either dry sandpaper or wet sandpaper. Is wet sandpaper also "wet or dry"? I'm worried about the adhesive properties here

Xun posted:I need to find some specifically "wet or dry" sandpaper, and most of what I can find is labeled either dry sandpaper or wet sandpaper. Is wet sandpaper also "wet or dry"? I'm worried about the adhesive properties here Any wet sandpaper can also be used dry, the water or oil or mineral spirits just acts as a lubricant to keep the paper from clogging which is especially important at finer grits. You usually only wet sand finishes. Regular dry sandpaper can’t be used wet for the most part. Wet sandpaper has a different backing (plastic or fabric or some kind of resin-impregnated/water-resistant paper) from dry sandpaper (which uses plain paper that will melt if it gets wet). The adhesives holding the abrasive to the backing are also likely different. Wet sandpaper usually uses a black silicon carbide abrasive-regular brown paper is usually garnet or aluminum oxide. I can’t remember exactly why silicon carbide gets used (maybe just because it can be manufactured finer?) but I can look it up at work in the AM if for some reason you need to know even more tedious detail about sandpaper. What are you trying to do?
