Would be nice if that happens.. if countries focus on space races instead of wars.

Distance from sun doesn't mean much really..
Any planet with a thick atmosphere / high gravity will generally be hotter just from internal activity and age.

There's a lot of space junk just floating around.. dead satellite and such that are just waiting to collide with something.
Fairing pieces with no control for example.

Don't trust it unless it's something you can easily test.

Mushrooms as a food source is some of the worse thing caloric wise... The amount of mushroom someone needs to eat to be full is stupid.
It's only good as flavor/texture enhancer it has little to no nutritional value.

Reply to Why does hot air cool? by AspGuy25
Thermal cameras see IR, metals, especially bare metals have a really low emissivity, meaning that they radiate very little IR and reflect the rest. (what the camera sees)
Think of it as a mirror, aluminum foil for example has emissivity of under 0.1 (it's a scale of 0-1, 1 being 100% radiating/absorbing) so only 10% of the total possible energy is being radiated and 90% are being reflected.
What you're seeing is a combination of the reflected IR + the radiated IR.
So the surface reflected is likely what you're seeing + the housing.
Take an aluminum foil and literal look at yourself with the camera. Foil is basically a mirror for IR as a glass mirror is for white light (what we see)
Emissivity is affected by material/color/surface. To get a better reading you want to paint it with a black body color, something black with a rough surface and very little visible shine (matte black)

They're not affordable for other reasons.. construction materials price rise is a small part of it.
Demend is through the roof the building takes time.. people are willing to pay a lot more than it's "worth" and then there's corporations that will buy for renting and they do massive buys.

FIIL T2 Pro.
80$ with decent ANC and great fit, sound and battery life.
I've had the T1 Pro for over a year now and got it specifically for jogging (No mainstream earbuds fit my weird ears even anything between 100-400$ falls within minutes) and I've been been enjoying them so much I use them for everything, sounds as good as my wired 150$ Sennheiser.
I didn't personally try the T2 but everything I see about it says it's basically T1 but better in every way.

Issue is HDR content needing very high brightness display to work properly.
High enough to make you squint when the sun is on screen in a lit room.
So those panels will consume more energy when playing HDR content there's no way around this.
Most of the time it consumes as much as a fridge even for 65" TVs..

Can't keep the price down with a good cut of meat.
Best case they put noodles and very little meat.
