Oh, they fully suspect it

I think you’re thinking of D’s, not TLD’s.

Ohh, I thought it was done by Four Seasons Total Landscaping!

Wait, they did an ad after that?

You really think that would’ve been her cause had the 2024 election gone a different way?

Yeah, she believes in her cause far more than a shiny metal disk, which if given up the rest of the world will know what happened. Not like she was motivated by it, and it’s the only card she really has when dealing with the US military. Certainly not worth calling her a spineless… That.

Can you ELI5 why water has no calories, which is also a unit of energy? Do we just not absorb it?

Worst years of my life. Some par for the course, some not. For example, it probably didn’t help that my school district was going through a reorganization and I went to 4 different schools in 4 years (grades 6-9).

Everything with energy, sure… But I’m not sure that all matter has energy. Water, for example, has zero calories/energy. In fact, cold water effectively has negative calories as your body has to use energy to bring itself back up to temperature.

I think the question is if calories can take the form of a gas like it can solid or liquid. Like, just by breathing them in somehow.

It’s crazy to me how Cordoba was such a major city centuries ago, even on a global scale. Now most people haven’t even heard of it and its population isn’t even half a million.

I used to work for (3-letter US pharmacy chain)

Having done the same (well, a smaller company they bought well before I started), you have my deepest sympathies.

I think few people were buying Altoids for the box (not nobody, I know exactly what you’re talking about, but I’m just saying it was a small piece of the pie) and the fad of Altoids kind of faded.

It’s all relative. I live in Denver and don’t think the Nebraska border (almost 3 hours away) is particularly close. But when I drove home from Minneapolis a few days ago, I was thrilled to be in the home stretch

Did you read the full sentence?

So kind of like saying “I am 14 yeared” (the same way a shirt with stripes is a striped shirt)? That’s actually kind of interesting.

Wait until you realize where the word verano comes from

In my first language (English) a 14-year-old would day “I am 14 years old” which means “I am 14 years old”

In my distant second language (Spanish) they would say “tengo 14 años” which, like Italian, means “I have 14 years”

The thought counts

Was there even thought though?

Energy is not created or destroyed, it only gets transformed from one form to another. Fuel represents a storage of energy. So when you burn fuel, you are taking the energy contained in that fuel and using it to create heat energy, harness it to make a car move, generate electricity (which you seem to agree is energy as well), or whatever.

Think about high school physics. Bring a 200 pound weight to the top of a tower, and it has potential energy. Nothing happens, just as nothing happens to fuel without a spark, but if you drop it out turns into kinetic energy. Let it hit the ground, and the sidewalk will absorb some of that energy as it breaks, it gets absorbed into sound energy, the whole process repeats on a smaller scale as it bounces, etc. All energy, and not in the hippy “the universe is all energy, maaan” kind of way.

The first part of this Technology Connections video also shows how propane is stored energy that gets converted: https://youtu.be/OOK5xkFijPc - just because that spark was needed to convert the energy in that propane to heat, doesn’t mean the spark is the source of the energy. If you’re going to be pedantic enough that I have to explain that.
