Visited Scrap today for the first time in forever. I forgot how their inventory is so-- unhinged isn't the right word. It's more than that. It's downright *unguessable*. #pdx

Earth science fail! I always thought clothes dryers blew hot air because the warmer temperatures made the water in *the clothes* evaporate faster.🤦🏿‍♂️

I never even thought about it.

Warmer air can hold so much more water than cooler air. So warming *the air* puts it further away from its maximum saturation point for evaporation, which speeds up the drying. Clothes temperature has little to do with it.

Just realizing this after reading some climate change / wet bulb temperature / flooding stuff.

@gwagner @cyclingeu A Copenhagen local comedian once ran for office in the municipality on a platform that he would turn all those street gutters 90 degrees so bikes wouldn't get stuck in them. And amazingly, enough of the city's bikers voted for and he won a seat at the municipality. Now, it's been standard practice to have them turned correctly since.

winking at my wife in the grocery store and stage whispering "remember how we handled that situation on Taldan VII?" so that people around us will think we're time-traveling space cowboys or whatever and a heist is about to happen
