I can bring water to a boil more quickly if I use multiple pots and kettles with smaller amounts of water in them and then combine all the boiled waters at the end
I do this all the time, so I don't think it's a terrible idea. Though I only use two vessels, the actual pot to be used plus a kettle.

:) i did use two last night, for the first time. felt a little silly but immediately was eyeing those other 2 empty burners
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 May 2022 21:50 (one year ago) link
if i had a ton of money, i'd see how far i could push that. imagine 32 burners with half an ounce of water on each one. or 64 burners, each with a little pvc drip feed to supply the drips of water to each tiny kettle. some sort of system to turn all the burners on at once, and then, just a few seconds later, tip them down into the waiting coffee reservoir

you need an incredibly hot metal rod next to the stove that you can stick in a single large pot, causing it to instantly boil. do not touch or drop the incredibly hot metal rod.

― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 May 2022 22:08 (one year ago) link
what about 64 incredibly hot metal rod, grooved, tilted down (using the power of _gravity_, thank you mother nature). it only takes each of the tiny water sources about 2-3 seconds to slide down the hot metal, but during that time it goes from room temperature to boiling

what would be amazing is if the steam could be used to heat the next set of 64 incredibly hot metal rods. a "perpetual energy device", if you will
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 May 2022 22:20 (one year ago) link
of course, you'd have to arrange the morning routines with the neighborhood ahead of time. the old-timers would kick off the coffee process at around 4 am, make their way up and down the block, and then by the time i get up around 9:15-10am, that recycled steam is just about to get to my place, nice

Karl, I am pretty sure there are aspects of distillation and saltmaking that are done precisely that way (individual modules, each of whose whose heat powers the next one). Not quite perpetual but definitely similar

No. If you need homes, you go to Toll Brothers.
And if you need Wals to build those homes, you go to Wal-Mart.
And if you need fresh, fragrant cookies to make those houses into homes, you go to Toll House.

has there been a weed kingpin called the pot despot? if not i may have to claim the title for myself. except i don’t smoke or anything. perhaps i should take up pottery and throw down with forks (lol get it, throw, like pottery) for the title of ilx’s pot despot. except fuck fucking with clay, my hands are dry enough already. i guess forks wins this round. get it, round, like a pot?

in middle school our 7th grade teacher wanted us to do a report on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
my original idea was going to be taking the song "River of Dreams" and doing a Weird Al parody that went
In the middle eaaaaastthey were fightin' over there
and all of the lyrics were about the conflict.
I showed what I wrote to my brother and he said "that's really stupid", so I scrapped it.
a year later I tried to do another Weird Al type parody of Stone Temple Pilots "Sex Type Thing" called "Food Type Thing" and I just found a copy of the file today, and it went...
"I am, I am, I amI said a want a double whopper pleaseI want a double whopper without cheeseyou wouldn't want me go to Mickey D'sMickey D's
I know I want a Number 9I know I"d like a Number 9I know the Whopper comes with friesI know I know I know"
brother also said that was stupid....so I stopped

I want to see a line of novelty t-shirts in the vein of the "big johnson" ones called "BALLS OUT" that are absolutely literal with no innuendo or double entrendre whatsoever.
So the shirt on display at whatever the current equivalent of Spencer Gifts will say something like "BALLS OUT YOGA" with a somewhat realistic drawing - in the style of, say, Dave Berg or Mort Drucker" - of a guy doing yoga with his scrotum accidentally dangling out. No one in the drawings will be reacting in any way to the situation.

I sang a song about minerals in 6th grade. It was called mineral man, and although I wrote the lyrics beforehand I did not bother to think of how the sing went. I sang the song and around the room pointing my fake mineral gun lasers at fake minerals, blasting them into smaller fake minerals. The class cracked up and the boys thought I was a hero for the day; the girls understood that I was at least 6-8 years away from puberty and I became everyone’s weird little brother
