For centuries, people believed ice was slippery because pressure and friction melted a thin film of water.
But new research from Saarland University reveals that this
long-standing explanation is wrong.
Instead, the slipperiness comes from the subtle interaction of molecular dipoles between ice and surfaces like shoes or skis.
These microscopic electrical forces disorder the crystal structure of ice,

The real reason ice is slippery, revealed after 200 years

Instead, the slipperiness comes from the subtle interaction of molecular dipoles between ice and surfaces like shoes or skis.

How many different people's work do you think you've seen since you've been on social media? Like how many different individuals have created the photos, videos, and words that you've looked at since you started scrolling timelines on your phone?

Nervt euch diese betrügerische #Werbung, die ihr auf gewissen Plattformen seht? Mich auch!
Vor allem, seit ich weiss, dass einige dieser Plattformen dank solcher Scams Milliardengewinne machen, so z.B. #Meta, die Mutter von

Was just reminded that I needed to kick in some more money to the BlackSky stuff.
Considering the money I’ve kicked in for great Mastodon clients and instances, the work Rudy and others are doing is well worth the same! https://mastodon.sandwich.net/@Sharksonaplane/114997406…

Told y'all before: FreeBSD has the most exciting and full-fledged stack of Wayland compositors and applications.
Most exciting part of Mangowc: switching between tiling and scrolling with one keybind. And a ton more, to be discovered by yours truly. Enjoying it a lot so far.

Am I watching TACO? No, I am doing something much more important. Relearning French. It is slow and frustrating, but some is coming back and I am learning new words. Scrolling through the TV guide and I was surprised that I could read some of the information that was in French. No where near speaking it, but can understand part of the simplest stuff.
This is one senior citizen that can still learn (even if it is slowly).
