Ahh that makes a lot more sense

Cheers for the clarification

Oh nice one, that’s kinda cool

See I thought the curie temperature was a ‘one and done’ sort of deal where you have to go through the process of remagnetizing the magnet after it had gone beyond that point.

Not sure where they said they “did an entire presentation on this thing” or where they got their information from. I’m only adding some context to what I know of how thermostats work. I would gladly admit I’m wrong if provided with some evidence.

If you want a visual demonstration of a thermostat working here’s a video.

(For context I don’t mean to come across as one of those “well ackshually” asshats, I just like watching people take apart electronics (was also slightly obsessed with magnets as a kid. MANY hard drives were sacrificed to my curiosity lol).)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature I doubt they’re using magnets, especially considering how hot they have to get to lose their magnetism as you suggest.

Most thermostats in electronics such as kettles and cookers use a bi-metallic strip inside, where the two metal layers expand at different rates. The contacts in the switch are physically pulled apart by the strip bending when the desired temperature is reached. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip

I have never once in my life paid for an uber to deliver my burrito.

I don’t even order takeout outside of being social gatherings with friends.

I’ve been driving for eight years and only ever owned two cars, one I had to get rid of because I couldn’t afford to pay for it to be repaired, and the other was dirt cheap because it had a dodgy crash sensor.

I have NEVER had a credit card.

But do tell me how frivolous financial choices are what’s making me poor, because you seen it on TV.

It’s definitely not the complete lack of protections on livable wages and how inflation has been above wages for my entire lifetime.

“the system is designed to prevent you from saving your way out of poverty” Followed immediately by “go 10,000 into credit card debt to pay for education”

While “Bankruptcy can’t take away your skills” it can 100% leave you on the street.

If it’s any consolation it took me until I hit 33 for me to have any savings at all.

Anything I put into the account I used for savings went out the same month so I didn’t go into an overdraft.

Funny enough the only thing that changed is I passed my qualifications and got my first “real” job… Though I may have also spent the past 8 or 9 years isolated in a way that regular people only got to see during the 'rona times

The fym “A neighbourhood”?

More than 80% of gaza has been decimated in the past two years.

That’s… Maybe not going to be the easiest of things to order at the bar, I mean you might get one but it probably wont quench your thirst.
