Polyethylene, polypropylene and Teflon aren't damaged by hydrofluoric acid. Enema bags are commonly polypropylene, so he may not have used anything special, just the glass etching kit and the enema bag he already had to make an arse etching kit

I wouldn't be, having known a couple of people who went into chemistry and what their motivations were

Lots of zeros in that due to a=b (before looking at the spoiler text)

I don't think they know they're trying to abbreviate 'until'

So for a kilowatt and 300K with a poor quality radiator (0.8)

Area = 1000/(0.8*5.670373x10^-8*30^4)

=1000/367.4401704

≈2.72m^2

So using the approximation of 1kW/m^2 of solar, you need on the order of 2.7x the area of solar for radiators

That doesn't seem too bad, and is on par with what the ISS has. The radiators on ISS have emissivity about 0.91

Ed. With the same quality of radiator on the ISS it's about 2.4*solar kilowatts

Also it is a reminder that an expert in something is not generally an expert in anything else, and anything they're not expert in they're only as good at it as the average person of the same intelligence and education

I wonder whether any LLMs are any good at hypothesis generation

What makes you think they're big? I assumed the cafeteria was small

Italian doesn't make that sound in any way except with "f"

People in very cold temperatures protect themselves from the cold. No one lives in a sauna. Few live where it gets much over 40°C, those who do typically protect themselves from the heat as much as they can.

It's probably more true that humans live between 0 and (low humidity) 40° without protection, but neither of those close in time, it takes adaptation to tolerate either end of those extremes
