  • I learned on the internet 15-20 years ago or so. I’ve also done 5x5 and 4x4 they aren’t really much harder, I didn’t need additional info, but when I hit the parity problem on the 4x4 I just scrambled and tried again. I mean they are harder, but not astronomically harder.

    My almost 8 year old is obsessed. I went through how to do a 3x3, and wrote out the steps and he has copied my instructions into a notebook. He can do it in 3 and a half minutes with his notes. He hasn’t managed without his notes yet but he has only been learning since Valentine’s day. He just woke me up looking for his notebook.

    Earlier this week I met somebody that did a Rubik’s cube independently in the 80s. (My son’s classmates grampa).




  • You guys are too ignorant to see how full of shit OP is.

    50F is not 50% hot, it’s cold. If your house was 50F you’d be saying “something is wrong with my HVAC”. You’d never heat to only 50, and you’d never cool that far. It’s cellar temperature (colder than a wine cellar, warmer than a root cellar).

    70F is 50% hot. It’s a temp you’d cool to in the summer, and a temp you’d heat to in the winter.

    100F isn’t 100% hot either, most people enjoy a hottub to be a little hotter.

    Tldr: OP is wrong





  • I don’t think it’s accurate to only indicate the Roman catholic church. The creation of the bible was a process of curation and editing intentional and accidental.

    But the Roman catholic church is defo responsible for the inclusion of the Johannine Comma in the KJV. (Because they fraudulently inserted it into a copy of a Greek manuscript they produced to claim that clause’s authenticity)








  • Yeah my son was given a copy for Christmas and reading it for the second time ever I have to agree it’s well written. Lots of little details that are simultaneously fun and world/character building.

    Eg: Hagrid giving Dudley a pig tail and then grumbling that he’d tried to turn him into a pig, but it turns out he’s already so piglike he’s only missing a tail. It is funny (for a 7 year old), it builds Dudley’s character and also foreshadows Hagrid’s iffy relationship with magic.


  • Ambient air temp when the bottle is cooling probably also plays a role, more or less shrink before it “freezes”

    Yeah I agree with that. Also maybe inconsistency with the plastic batch.

    But also milk jugs are blown directly from pellets, no threaded blank. Water bottles and pop bottles go from threaded blanks though.

    I don’t remember seeing washing but I guess that would be on the filling side, (jugs are made on one side of the plant then go through a wall to the clean side) I don’t think I’ve seen that for milk.
