The contraction of the muscle tightens the eardrum so I imagine that would increase the pitch of what you are hearing. The speed or tempo wouldn’t change but with the frequency going up a bit, music might be perceived as a tempo change. Not really an area of specialty for me, just had the basics covered in grad school.

My Galaxy S22+ has one. It usually runs a little over the ambient temperature because you're holding the phone and the phone generates heat.

There's also humidity and pressure sensors. You just need an app that can read them.

...not the point.

I mean, they're at least partly wrong. Only a few states in the US—five, I think?—ban passing on processing fees to the customer. But what's banned is not having different prices, it's charging a fee on top of the listed price.

It's basically a truth in advertising rule, though it's weird that we made it for credit cards and not for sales tax. Anyway, the idea is that credit card surcharges feel like a penalty and cash discounts feel like a reward, even if there's not practical difference between the two at checkout.

And why does it happen sometimes if you stand up too fast???

You remove the tiny portion of code protecting it, or find some sort of work around. Like the only thing keeping your house safe is the lock on the door. So you can turn the exe to code, find the lock, and remove it. Turn the code back to an exe, and voila!

Capital one is a bank

> For a fireplace you want pretty long yellow fire,

I get that many or most people want just the appearance of a fire. I'm on the side of wanting heat. But I also love the smell of a real wood fire and the crackling and popping, which is most likely way less efficient than you could get with the proper mixture from a gas one.

I often do forget about debit cards, since I don't have one. But still those and credit cards are often safer for merchants than cash.

I just figured out what you meant. That makes sense. I do know that when I heat food on a Corelle plate I can take the plate from the microwave and it does not burn my hand. The food is hot and I can eat from the same plate.

When using the stoneware the plate is too hot to handle but the food is not up to temperature.

I had assumed it was drawing heat solely from the food. I have always heard you cannot put a dry plate into a microwave because there needs to be water to absorb the energy.

I've also noticed while listening to music on headphones that yawning makes the tempo increase. Does this have something to do with air compression?

A thermometer to measure what? Air temperature? Your mouth? Your steak?

Others have already covered this, but the problem is that the phone itself is a source of heat. It wouldn't be a very good thermometer for external usage.

1. The cold plate cannot get hotter than the food by conduction of Heat from the food.

2. Microwave energy can be absorbed (and converted to heat) by conductive/resistive structures in metal-based ceramics, as well as water molecules in food. I should add that most ceramics suck at conducting heat, so the dish's internal heat tends to stay there.

For a long time, people thought the brains are responsible for regulating blood temperature. Only after a gruesome history in psychology do we now understand the different parts of the brain and their responsibilities. Scientists also experimented with monkeys and mice to find which part of the brain is for what. Did you know that a strong magnetic wave directed at your brain can mess your mind up but only for a short duration?

God help you if they do. Breaks onto thousands of shards. It's like sand coming from the beach.

We've broken enough over the 30 years in the house we will NEVER get all of the shards out of the house.

Under the stove, the refrigerator, behind the toaster, in that ugly vase you got from that one aunt as wedding present still in the box (how the heck did a shard of Corelle even get in that box?)

I got a piece stuck in my foot two years ago it took three weeks to get it out.

What I THINK you may be referring to is an inner-thermostat connected to your nervous system event. The sensation of relief from temperature change has a lot to do with the mind and expectations. A good little experiment is to hold one hand onto a cool surface (wooden table works best) hold that one hand there for about 20-30 seconds. Then switch hands in that exact same spot. The spot where your first hand felt cool on the table the whole time will now feel warm to the other hand. This is especially sensitive with hands and feet because they’re like little probes for the world around you.

Nope. Ps., why doesn't Alabma leave the US and make it's own currency so that it can't be "controlled" by California or New York? Truth is, it helps to be in a larger market as well as having some downsides. The Euro isn't what makes Italy have crippling red tape that makes any IT company unworkable. California isn't what made Alabama the poorest state. It's the choices they make.

Wow, I've thought for 20 years now that I was alone in being able to do this, because I have never heard it mentioned by anyone, ever.

Thank you! I did some research, and sure enough they seem solid. Appreciate the link!

You, apparently, got the one bad one! =)

"And if you’re familiar with Corelle dishes, then you’re also familiar with their uncanny durability. Drop one of those bad boys and they’re likely to bounce, not break."

Debit cards exist, in case you were unaware. And I suppose physical checks, for the 8 merchants who still accept them these days, lol.

I do. Corning Corelle dishware is made from a type of glass, not porcelain or clay as is China or stoneware.

As mentioned in my post, my family has used it since its introduction in the early 1970. Here is a website that describes it.

Mostly, the reason is the part of the plant. The seed needs to have a lot of protein because when it germinates, it needs to create a lot of structures very quickly to get things moving. So any edible seed is a good source of protein. Legumes are easier to process than most other seeds because they're softer, so it's easier to get to the protein, but pumpkin or sunflower seeds, nuts, and wheat are also high in protein

We realized that everything in the body moves due to electric stimuly and we followed it to the brain, everything the body does, everything it recieves and gives has to go through the brain so we did more experiments on animals to see what would happen if we like, messed around with the brain and found out that if we change the brain we change the fundamental way the body functions, and then we realized that every time we think and react to stimuly a part of the brain "turns on". The mind is not "in the brain" per se more like the mind and the brain are more of less the same thing.

What a wonderful excerpt of the human experience of sticking your foot out of the bed when it’s cold.
