Nomnom Cookie posted:isnt it like old film specifically thats super flammable, cause of chemistry or something yeah cellulose-based films (particularly early ones when quality control wasn't the best) have a habit of bursting into flames at the slightest provocation. until a few years ago they were specifically banned on the london undergound after a couple of incidents in the early days of cinema. they've now dropped that specific ban for a much more boring "you can't bring dangerous things into tiny train world". also banned on the london underground - making a knowingly false statement about the status of the service, wearing clothes likely to damage the trains or stations, and gambling on the arrival of trains.

Assuming standard scoring, the optimal area to aim for on the dart board in order to maximize the player's score varies significantly based on the player's skill. The skilled player should aim for the centre of the T20, and as the player's skill decreases, their aim moves slightly up and to the left of the T20. At σ = 16.4 mm the best place to aim jumps to the T19. As the player's skill decreases further, the best place to aim curls into the centre of the board, stopping a bit lower than and to the left of the bullseye at σ = 100.[29] Where σ may refer to the standard deviation for a specific population: List of darts players.

British duvets are sold in steps of 1.5 tog from 4.5 tog (summer) to 16.5 tog (extra-warm). The stated values are minimum, actual values may be up to 3 tog higher. These tog values assume that there is no duvet cover added that can trap air. Lightweight summer duvet: 3.0 - 4.5 tog Spring/Autumn weight duvet: 7.5 - 10.5 tog Winter weight duvet: 12.0 - 13.5 tog A few manufacturers have marketed combined duvet sets consisting of two duvets; one of approximately 4.5 tog and one of approximately 9.0 tog. These can be used individually as summer (4.5 tog) and spring/autumn (9.0 tog). When joined together using press studs around the edges, or Velcro strips across each of the corners, they become a 13.5 tog winter duvet and as such can be made to suit all seasons.

how often do you heavily poo poo the bed seriously though if you live in a place where you're in climate control most of the time your blanket doesn't need to be precisely to spec because you control the room temperature directly

quote:The Shirley Institute in Manchester, England developed the tog as an easy-to-follow alternative to the SI unit of m2K/W.[1] The name comes from the informal word togs for 'clothing', which itself was probably derived from the word toga, a Roman garment. Not sure which is worse, the clo or the tog. Edit: Also, quote:Launched in the 1940s by the Shirley Institute, the Shirley Togmeter[2] is the standard apparatus for rating thermal resistance of textiles, commonly known as the Tog Test.
