The “Botijo” uses the same principle and has been in use for centuries in Spain to cool water.
The article mentions fragility, but I imagine that some open sided fiberglass cage or equivalent could be made. Fiberglass is fairly low tech nowadays, cheap and widely available even in the developing world.
That was a saying in the 80s already, and still relevant today.
I agree. I-m an accomplished cook, but I enjoy the almost set and forget that my Thermomix affords me. I am tempted to get an instant pot type and with my smart Microwave have a semi robotized kitchen.
Is the new one stainless steel? If so there are very few parts that may fail, valve parts and gasket essentially. Instant pots have a ton of failure points. The modern stovetops are almost buy it for life.
I have a modern stovetop stainless steel pressure cooker, very common type in Europe. It has three redundant pressure / over pressure relief safety sytems plus a very hard to circumvent locking mechanism that only unlocks at ambient pressure. Instant pot types look interesting, because they expand on the concept, but a major drawback I see is that they are often small (my pressure cooker is 6L) and, basically a dealbreaker for me, the vessel is usually plastic coated, I.e. non/stick. I think I will stick with mine, which coupled with a programmable stovetop induction single heater I own, fulfills part of the features.
You forgot the /s at the end of “fix your teeth by chewing on a pencil for 15 minutes a day”, right?
How about Music players, Sequencers, studio, DJ, Drum machines, Guitar software amps, software radios…
The fact that you simply ignored music players disqualifies your list. Also considering that Arch’s AUR, for example has over 90.000 packages, the idea of one person compiling a useful general “best of” list is deluded and doomed from the start.
I don’t write this acrimoniously, I simply state the fact that unless you enlist help (and a lot at that) your endeavor is useless.
Not to disparage your effort, but I looked into music and I only see:
Audacity Audire Audile
Aaaand I’m out.
This is so lopsided it should be titled “A random collection of free software that has caught my eye”
Is seeding anonymous?
It’s no just Wuropeans, but the majority of the world
Not necessarily. look at what Spain has in an area a bit smaller than Texas.
And I doubt that they have been to Spain. Central Spain is -5º in the winter to 40º+ in the summer, and dry AF. Central Spain is a plateau, elevation 700m, so it has no buffering from the coast. I very much doubt you’d have that in a coastal region.
Melbourne weather is just as shitty as your average UK.
Birds are dinosaurs. Humans are not mammoths
If I remember correctly, Homo sapiens sapiens was not only coetaneous with Mammoths, but we are widely considered to be one, if not the main cause of their extintion.
Also constructions like Gobekli tepe, with it’s carvings and decorations, predate the extintion of Mammoths by something like 6000 years.
wait until you hear about saltwater crocodiles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_crocodile
I have recently gotten an iPad, because my carrier had a banger of a deal (30% off on the 2024 Air, 48 months payment no interest) and my Huawei tablet was getting long in the tooth, so I jumped.
I have owned Android since the first Galaxy (no number), tablets since the first 7" Galaxy Tab.
I have gone through a few tablets, 3-4 Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei, a couple of no names, and I got the iPad, because for tablet things is still the reference. Best experience hands down.
Would I get an iPhone? NO WAY.
The iPad is an occasional use device. I use it for media consumption, some social media (not much of a user) and for graphics stuff with the Affinity suite, which BTW is reason enough to get an iPad if you do design/photo. It’s the device for when the laptop is too cumbersome, or overkill. It’s great to take notes, scribble, sketch. It’s awesome to edit pics on the go, which I do a surprising lot.
But… Apple limits what I can do. Too much.
Would I accept the constraints of iOS in my main electronic device? No. I can live with the iPad’s constraints because I have a super capable phone (a 4 year old Xiaomi which is truly fantastic), which I can tune as I wish, and because it’s use case is fairly well defined. I would not compromise with my phone. Simple things like changing the launcher, what goes on my lock screen like alternate number / emergency contact, or whatever clock I want, or the keyboard, or installing apps from wherever I want, or rooting and changing the ROM (not all phones) or not dealing with iCloud bullshit, or having proper Firefox with extensions, or torrenting, or any of the tweaks, modifications, or whatever that make my Android MINE.
Just search for “things that iphones can’t do”. You’ll have reading for an afternoon.
Sony excels at product, sucks at marketing. Their phones are truly fantastic.
Cost per liter including filters, liquids and electricity?
Try octopuses. Essentially liquid. Think Odo from Startrek DS9. Watch them go from a beige cucumberish shape to a dark green/brown lump that looks like a jagged rock
