Potential "Thread Topics"

Anything but math...

How about combining addition and food?

What will this years Hot Dog Eating record be, and will Joey Chestnut win again?

Or:
Combining these principles leads to one traditional statement of the first law of thermodynamics: it is not possible to construct a machine which will perpetually output work without an equal amount of energy input to that machine. Or more briefly, a perpetual motion machine of the first kind is impossible.

I am just guessing here, but aren't oil pump jacks perpetual motion machines or anything that harnesses the energy of a magnet?
 
Can you find the glaring flaw?? Then please discuss the ramifications of the error...

The first law of thermodynamics may be stated in several ways :

The increase in internal energy of a closed system is equal to total of the energy added to the system. In particular, if the energy entering the system is supplied as heat and if energy leaves the system as work, the heat is accounted for as positive and the work as negative.
{\textstyle \Delta U_{\rm {system}}=Q-W} {\textstyle \Delta U_{\rm {system}}=Q-W}
In the case of a thermodynamic cycle of a closed system, which returns to its original state, the heat Qin supplied to the system in one stage of the cycle, minus the heat Qout removed from it in another stage of the cycle, plus the work added to the system Win equals the work that leaves the system Wout.
{\displaystyle \Delta U_{\rm {system\,(full\,cycle)}}=0} {\displaystyle \Delta U_{\rm {system\,(full\,cycle)}}=0}
hence, for a full cycle,
{\displaystyle Q=Q_{\rm {in}}-Q_{\rm {out}}+W_{\rm {in}}-W_{\rm {out}}=W_{\rm {net}}} {\displaystyle Q=Q_{\rm {in}}-Q_{\rm {out}}+W_{\rm {in}}-W_{\rm {out}}=W_{\rm {net}}}
For the particular case of a thermally isolated system (adiabatically isolated), the change of the internal energy of an adiabatically isolated system can only be the result of the work added to the system, because the adiabatic assumption is: Q = 0.
{\displaystyle \Delta U_{\rm {system}}=U_{\rm {final}}-U_{\rm {initial}}=W_{\rm {in}}-W_{\rm {out}}} {\displaystyle \Delta U_{\rm {system}}=U_{\rm {final}}-U_{\rm {initial}}=W_{\rm {in}}-W_{\rm {out}}}

You took the words right out of my mouth!! It's like deja vu all over again.

Tin Foil Hats - Build or Buy.

It has been suggested that some commercially produced Tin Foil Hats have been secretly programed to pass certain signals ...

Buyer Beware

Post different construction techniques for Tin Foil Hats.

How long should spaghetti be boiled at different altitudes? And does adding salt to the water make a difference?

For example, recently I got within visual of the new crossing at Palomas, S of Columbus.
Would have loved to hit the Pink Store just one more time!
Caution prevailed.
Interesting. The Pink Store Folks give you a link on how to get a Passport Card.
I have one, I’m just afraid to use it!

I have promised several members I would do more thread on my old Buddy Milt.
I last left him stranded in Germany.
A couple more there, then it’s back to Texas.
Then, Korea time!
Boot up, Suit Up, Lets Move Out.
He didn’t bust a cap in WWII, Bomb Disposing was his game.
Did get blowed up a couple of times.
But in Korea he spent 2 years shooting over his shoulder and running for his life!
Captured once, escaped.
Almost captured again, had a big night time shoot out with the ChiComs.
One night he Went up to North Korea with some Nice Navy Boys.
They just wanted to show the Army how to have a good time!
 
Hotdog math is horrible--a pack of 8 hotdogs and a package of 10 buns. Who comes up with this?
Thats why when I buy hotdog's I buy them loose, I get one for each roll.

Deep Thoughts, as in the old SNL bit and “book by Jack Handy”.

Example - posed to me just last week by a cook who I would assume had recently had an extended session of burning botanicals -

“What language, do people who are born deaf, think to themselves in, before they have learned how to read?..”
