If you're taking sushi or other food from a serving plate, it's considered polite to use the wrong end of your chopsticks so you don't accidentally touch anything else with the end of the chopsticks you eat from*.

60 is the minimum the World Health Organization recommends at the cylinder, with 50 at the tap. In any case, you seem to be assuming that every hot water system you meet is modern, correctly installed and maintained and that no landlord / building owner / supervisor / management chucklefuck in the history of mankind has been known to dial the temperature back a bit to save on the power bill. I know it's your life and everything buddy but why take the risk?

Someone lazy landlord could also have built an extra room outside your apartment and hired a midget to poo poo in the pipe mere centimetres away from your kitchen wall. I know it's your life and all but, why take the risk of drinking poop? Just buy Evian like a good American.

So with the battery lifehack, why would the batteries explode exactly? The voltage should be correct, so is it that too much current is running through them? The inner physicist in me is confused. E: \/\/ Both of these explanations make sense; I thought there was something inherently wrong with using smaller batteries. The setup the guy has is bad since the pieces of foil touch each other, but if the pieces of foil were separated properly it just seems like smaller batteries would just run out faster.

The inner physicist in me is confused. Office experiment time! Take a C-cell battery (any battery will work, but I've had the most success with C-cells) and a thicker paper clip Bend the paper clip so that it touches only the + and - poles and hold it on there for 15 seconds See how much heat was generated? That heat will eventually build up a ton of pressure inside the sealed battery, making it explode and shoot boiling hot, toxic chemicals into your hand or lap or wherever you put your remote. It's about as dangerous as you can get with a battery before you get to "smoking a cigarette while checking the electrolyte in your lead/sulfur car battery" levels of stupid E: I just got a great life hack, work next to a lit candle to see if you need to add more sulfuric acid to your battery without having to use a fancy meter on the electrolyte. Bonus lights show if you do! E2: Do they even make batteries with accessible cells anymore? I only ever saw a hydrometer in my high school automotive class and in my grandpa's garage, and his was almost rotted out from age. I know I wouldn't be all that comfortable messing with sulfuric acid and hydrogen gas build up, but good lord, the general public would burn all of the skin off their faces before they even got to the acid part The Door Frame has a new favorite as of 07:03 on Sep 22, 2014 |

Its also generally acknowledged to not be particularly dangerous though, more of a "if you're boiling water on the stove, its slightly better to start with cold water than hot, but no biggie"

There's an easy way to clean your filthy microwave without having to scrub. Just microwave a measuring cup filled with distilled water for 25 minutes, then drop half of a lemon into the water. The steam and citric acid from the lemon will loosen all of the stuck on food from the walls so that in a few minutes it can be easily wiped away.

Aggressive pricing posted:That's what anodes are for, it's all perfectly safe. Also, lol if you think running the taps means the water spent less time in pipes(unless it's well water). When I was growing up we had the choice between tank water or bore water. The tank water had to be delivered and, if you were caught doing something as stupid as "letting the water run", you'd get a smack upside the head. The bore water was so salty that we couldn't even run it through our lovely ancient hot water service because the limescale buildup would ruin it. Growing up in the country had its advantages and disadvantages. The peace and quite and freedom to run around and make a mess was great. Everything else sucked.

The batteries won't explode every time! Even with the foil touching. Here, i draw a loving diagram: That's why the "put it on the negative side" doesn't make any sense.

I'm an idiot when it comes to circuits, so could you tell me if the following is correct: The last diagram is a circuit where the current can flow from one battery to the other and back forming a complete (short) circuit and resulting in the whole thing burning itself out due to there being basically no resistance on the circuit?

Based on my dubious understanding of circuits and physics, the reason the last diagram results in an explosion is that the tin foil bridges directly from the + node on one battery to the - node on the other battery, which in and of itself isn't the issue (see the diagram on it's left) but rather in the process it cuts out the resistance provided by the circuit passing through the lamp.

In the last diagram you're correct, you'll just be shorting the batteries and providing no power to the device. Current will just flow continuously through both batteries, creating heat and eventually a boom. Feeding power to a power source is usually a bad idea.

Yes, this is correct. Current always takes the way with the lowest resistance. In my diagram, the light has a resistance, the wire has practically none. So it flows like this:  Producing a short circuit in the third setup. The batteries basically put out as much current as possible because of the muchmuch lower resistance in the setup and that is "not good": booshi posted:Feeding power to a power source is usually a bad idea.
