They're heeeere!
They're heeeere!
After looking at the stairs to the front door, one of the movers gave me a hug when I told him everything was going into the garage. The fridge has a nice safe corner picked out where there's power (I'm getting a new one and keeping that for extra space). The only thing I really need them to cart upstairs is the washing machine, and that comes with the next load.
The magic boiling / chilled water dispenser turns out to have another trick up its sleeve: It can dispense carbonated water. Need to replace the CO2 cylinder if you use it a lot, and it doesn't have the option for boiling carbonated water which is a shame.
Meanwhile:
- Security bugs in Confluence are under attack.
- DDR5 RAM prices down 20% in May.
- The SK hynix P41 is a pretty good SSD.
- 32 ugly monkey JPEGs were stolen after a Discord server hack, with a total value of zero plus or minus $2 million.
- Apple has space ambitions but everything the tech pundits are saying is bullshit.

So, what if instead of carbon di-oxide in water we move everything down the periodic table and dissolve silicon disulphide in dilithium sulphide? THe molecular masses are a whole lot higher so it should have a nice, creamy texture.

As any beer brewer will tell you, you can't boil carbonated water: boiling drives out dissolved gases.

I'm trying to think of what possible use boiling carbonated water would be, and all I can come up with is "laugh at the poor SOB who thought that might be a good idea and now has 2nd degree spot burns all over."

Ah, I though the "boiling carbonated water" was a joke. I mean, it has to be one of those really obvious jokes.

There was a long thread on Usenet many years ago figuring out what it would require to make boiling, carbonated coffee, and if there were any conditions under which such a beverage could exist that would not be immediately fatal.
That little tap might be remarkable but it can't do that.
