 If your container can hold in 344 or so megapascals of pressure it will form Ice II, which is a rhombohedral crystal form, and one of the 19 phases of ice that exist. Water's phase diagram is pretty complicated, but essentially it's just a different crystal structure for the solidification of water. You'll also have to cool it down to about 250 Kelvin, which is around -23 celcius. You can do it with only 212 megapascals of pressure if you cool it down to -35 or so.

Don’t cool it too much, lest we end up in a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

Why is there a difference between wet and dry snow? Isn't it all just water?

Is that goon who made slim wallets out of recycled leather still around, either on SA or off site? I went through a few pages of SA mart and couldn't find them, and want a new similar wallet

i have some really nice hangers and I'd like to get more, but I'm not sure where they are from. They have what might be the most unhelpful brand logo of all time (inset). any thoughts? or a place with something similar at least. perhaps only hangers dot com!

You’re looking for “wooden hangar with locking bar”. I buy them, too.

Your welcome! I’ve come to appreciate good hangars over the years. Mostly what I have now is wooden hangars with a bar, or wooden hangars with pant clips (or plain wooden hangars). Yeah they take up more room on the hangar bar in the closet, but honestly we all probably have more clothes than we think we need. Pretty sure that’s it’s own thread.

Can someone who's not an audiophile please confirm that I will not destroy my sound by shortening my amp to speaker cables in my stereo to different lengths? I'm pretty sure it's frowned upon, but also pretty sure it doesn't matter at all.

I'm pretty sure it's frowned upon, but also pretty sure it doesn't matter at all. Electricity flows in copper at close to the speed of light. A nanosecond-lightyear (i.e. the distance that light travels in one billionth of a second) is about a foot. The human ear is not capable of separating time events that are closer together than about 10 microseconds, which is 1000x longer than a nanosecond. Is one of your cables 1000 feet longer than the other one? No? Then you're fine.

Like the two wires to a single speaker or different lengths of paired wire to different speakers? I don't think either would actually matter but I know people have different run lengths all the time and it's fine.

This is why Admiral Grace Hopper would always carry around an 11.8" rod of copper while reminding young programmers to mind their nanoseconds.

Your relative distance to each speaker will matter ~50,000 times more. Wire length would never matter at those scales.

Is there a word for someone worth hundreds of billions of dollars? Google says centibillionaire, but doesn't centi mean 1/100 not 100x? Would hectobillionaire make etymological sense?

Is there anyway to disable YouTube shorts from showing up on the YouTube app for Android? I watch a lot of Youtube but lately the shorts have been absolutely decimating my attention span, and I really want them to be gone from the app but I can't find a way to disable them. Google is telling me there once was an app called YouTube Vanced but it sounds very risky/possibly obsolete due to being unsupported.

Newpipe on from f-droid app store does the same thing. It is a separate app than the youtube thing so you will not have your watch history and subscriptions though. It also means no more ads inserted by Google. I think it's on the regular play store too but it's not as up to date.

Would hectobillionaire make etymological sense? so a trillionaire would have 1000 billions. so the most likely names for this person with 100 billions are centibillionaire or decitrillionaire, i suppose.

About two weeks ago I got a bidet seat. I'm not really as impressed as I'd expected to be. I only use a little bit less toilet paper whereas I'd expected to only need one or two drying passes. It's not an expensive seat; could that have anything to do with it? I do have the pressure turned all the way up and it at least feels like it should be cleaning pretty well, but the evidence contradicts that feeling.

I find the sprayer style (like the garden hose attachment looking thing) much more effective.

Are GlassDoor reviews completely anonymous? Let's say someone wanted to write a review warning people about an employer, is there any way that employer could track them down? Should that person go so far as to register a burner email for the GD review, use a VPN or do the whole thing on a public computer? Or should I "calm down, you're not stealing the NOC List."

I'd probably use a burner and vpn because you should do that anyway if you don't want your name attached to stuff. They're more likely to get you from working out who you are from what you post though. You need to be real careful to word that in a way that doesn't point to you. Maybe even get a chatgpt thing to write it up for you so it's not even in your writing style. People can be pretty clever at figuring out who wrote what when they're motivated - which a vindictive employer might be.

Is there a thread of graph theory nerds? I have a question, which I'll repost here (originally posted in the Game Development Megathread):quote:I've been thinking about a problem lately, and it occurs to me that there may be a well-studied solution for a variation on the problem. The problem is "how do I make high-level Metroidvania maps that adhere to certain constraints", with "high-level" meaning that I don't care about the contents of individual rooms, just how they connect to each other and how big they are. I think this could generalize to "how do I make a planar graph that adheres to certain constraints", where the constraints are things like "there is a length-5 path between these two nodes", "there are two distinct paths between these two nodes", "the path from this node to that node must pass through this third node", etc. Does anyone know of any such algorithms, or any resources I could read up on to get a better understanding of the domain?

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Is there a thread of graph theory nerds? I have a question, which I'll repost here (originally posted in the Game Development Megathread): It's usually worth asking questions like that in the general programming thread. There are a few people there who might have an idea of how to approach any particular algorithms/theory question. If that doesn't pan out, there's the scientific computing thread and the math questions thread both over in SAL.
