  • Don’t forget, the chicken is frozen, so you also have to take into account the latent heat of fusion to melt the chicken before you can raise the temperature

    This calculation also assumes that this is an inelastic collision where all the energy is absorbed into the chicken and not into your hand or into the air as sound or other kinetic energy.

    Further the chicken is frozen solid, and, presumably, your hand is not. Of the two objects in this collision that could deform inelasticity and absorb the larger fraction of the energy, my money would be on the 0.4 kg slab of raw meat rather than the 1kg frozen billiard ball.


  • XR for me.

    Honestly the biggest issue that was pushing me to update was that my podcatcher had been getting laggier and slower to respond to remote commands when minimized. I thought it was a ram constraint, but the developer refactored the 10 year old code base last month and now it’s zippy as heck.

    Now, my only issues are ones expected of any phone of its age: battery wear (repairable), RAM limiting minimized persistence of modern apps (no compelling leap until maybe this year) and storage space (manageable). I am looking forward to MagSafe, USB-C, Oled and left behind support for AirPods whenever I eventually do upgrade.
