  • That's the conjecture by Randall and Explain XKCD wiki editors. We can't tell either way, he just wasn't specific enough. All we know is that 0 on the scale is 22 °C and that it goes 4 steps up to "very hot" and 4 steps down to "very cold".

  • In Galen's scale, the 0 point is 22 °C, an alright room temperature, but the others are described too vaguely for us to convert. It might also be nonlinear. See the explainxkcd.com article

  • You read nothing of this, did you? The fraction of the human body that's 1 mm below the surface is small, and the fraction of the other body that's 1 mm away from any single point is even smaller, and the two get multiplied for an insignificant fraction of the total mass. Come back when you understand what ∰ means, or at least read my other comment about people bent over to share a center of mass.

  • Yup. The reason I unitalicise names is to stop the wide kerning. It's moon and me, not 𝑚 𝑜 𝑜 𝑛 and 𝑚 𝑒.

    In texts I've seen, bold variables are matrices.

  • Spherical objects can be simplified to point masses when calculating gravity. But the center of mass can be outside your body when you bend over and two people can therefore reduce the distance of their centers of masses to 0. However, this will not result in infinite attractive force (that could get Cirque de Soleil performers stuck bent over each other), similarly: pouring a liquid without adhesion or surface tension on a giant donut-shaped object in space would not result in it accumulating in a sphere in the center, the donut would get covered in it.

  • Well, it's not appropriate typesseting. Unlike unknowns and constants (𝑥, 𝑐), units need to be manually unitalicized. In DOCX, this also prevents wide kerning (which is OK for several multiplied constants/unknowns but not multi-letter units). I only use serif italics for liter (𝑙), and only outside equations (it's not SI base anyway), because I think a simple "l" can be confused with "I" or "1" while the alternatives (L, ℓ) look terrible in typesetting.

  • Yup. As I said in another comment, you are not a point mass. The amount of your and her flesh that's atom-width close is an astronomically small fraction of the total weight, no matter how close you cuddle, and this fraction gets squared because there are 2 bodies. (It's an integral over two volumes – in layman's terms, an atom in your hand feels strong (for an atom) attraction to an atom on her hand, but not her head even if your heads also touch.)

    I know you realize this but for others: For atoms, point masses at the nuclei are a good simplification, but not for larger non-spherical objects unless they are really far away. The center of mass can be outside your body when you bend over and two people can therefore reduce the distance of their centers of masses to 0. However, this will not result in infinite attractive force (that could get Cirque de Soleil performers stuck bent over each other), similarly: pouring a liquid without adhesion or surface tension on a giant donut-shaped object in space would not result in it accumulating in a sphere in the center, the donut would get covered in it.

  • You are not a point mass. The amount of your and her flesh that's this close is a miniscule fraction of the total weight, no matter how close you cuddle, and this fraction gets squared because there are 2 bodies.

  • Factory Reset Protection. If you factory wipe an Android phone that still had a Google or Samsung account on it, you need to sign in to the same account again to use it. However, it is sometimes possible to switch away from the initial setup app, and then do whatever it takes to wipe the FRP data. On early Android (pre-2015), this might be as easy as setting the screen lock to Swipe and restarting.

  • Do you mean FRP? That's been kinda hit-and-miss, I've been able to crack it more often than not, once even without a guide.

  • I'm having issues with the proxied ones (451 Unavailable for legal reasons). Luckily you can use Redirector or similar to un-proxy them automatically.

  • TIL - Alvin and the Chipmunks, originally "David Seville and the Chipmunks", is really damn old - 1958

    Jump

  • Yes but the chipmunks are exactly 2x faster (1 octave higher) to hit exact notes; also the standard tape speeds were in this ratio: 1⅞ and 3¾ ips for domestic settings, and 7½, 15 and 30 ips in professional settings. The technology to change pitch and speed independently without undesirable effects only appeared with digital signal processing in the 1980s or thereabouts, so Seville needed to record at half speed, and you can hear him sometimes not holding his breath accordingly.

    The effect was first introduced in his 1958 song Witch Doctor for the chorus. Like many songs in the Cold War era, it was covered by a Czechoslovak artist: actress Aťka Janoušková (and voice actress later known for Maya the Bee) was chosen for her comedic childlike voice so that she could sing the chorus a few notes (not an octave) higher in live performances. The resulting song Zázračný doktor is in third person about a guy with "nerves in shambles" visiting a psychiatrist in Kentucky (incorrectly pronounced as Ken-toots-key to rhyme with cucky – Czech for shambles), otherwise the plot is very similar.
