I have a load of kitchen utensils made of silicone. They’re great: heatproof so you can leave them in the pan, poor thermal conductors so doing so doesn’t burn your hands, and soft so they don’t damage non-stick things.
But I remain in awe of whichever materials scientist looked at stone and said ‘this is great, but it would be better if we made it squidgy’ and then did it. Who looks at stone and decides it should be squidgy?

@david_chisnall We have kitchen utensils that exude sticky stuff over time. Did the Faustian pact that made rocks squidgy mandate the production of this residue?

@david_chisnall Who looks at sand and says "we should make it transparent" or "we should make this calculate really fast"?

@david_chisnall silicone rubber things came from the heatproof silicon glass-work at Corning back in the 1930s; scientists wanted to make gaskets that would resist heat and decided “let’s turn this glass into heatproof rubber!” around WWII. And now we have squishy-sand baking mats. Pretty wild!

@not_a_label will they really notice if it's 196 people instead of 197?

@Gina
None of the above??The sun's shining, the birds are singing and I'm doing as little as possible and as much as I like 😆

@yumenaut il problema dell'audio da quello che vedo online sembra essere stato risolto con le versioni del kernel dalla 6.7 in poi. provo a vedere se c'è qualcos'altro riguardo alla risoluzione video e ai tasti fn
