You have the causal relationship the wrong way round - they are saying more content results in more edits, but that doesn't mean fewer edits means less content

Reply to comment by colcob in If I had two cups of water, one normal size and one as big as a swimming pool and stirred them both with proportionally sized spoons, would the larger pool of water keep spiraling longer than the smaller? by r3volc
Another factor in favour of the big pool: at the same rotational rate, the big pool will have less shear because the difference in speed between two points a given distance apart is smaller than the same two points in the small cup, so I would imagine less energy would be lost to turbulence

Reply to TIL that as of August, 2022 there were over 2.8 million podcasts available online worldwide with over 135 million episodes in total. by big_macaroons
I wonder what the average number of listeners per podcast is... how do you quantify the huge number of podcasts with very few listeners? "Half of all podcast downloads are from the most popular 0.1% of podcasts"

I've emptied the pump filter/coin trap which is very low on the front of the machine - if there's any other points to drain I don't know about them

White vinegar is my MVP because of the hard water, so I might give it a go. Does the next load of laundry not smell of vinegar?

I've already done two hot drum clean cycles with Dr Beckmann's washing machine cleaner, and if anything it smells worse immediately after - I suspect if there's water sitting, it will stay warm longer after a hot cycle

If you have a suitable low voltage power supply, the best price/performance ratio might come from a cheap cordless drill. I saw an instructable years ago where someone was using a drill turning a roller rubbing on a bike wheel for a slow reciprocating effect.

Reply to comment by mfairview in How fast do bubbles rise in water? by crazunggoy47
The upwards force from buoyancy is proportional to volume and the difference in density, drag is complicated but largely proportional to cross sectional area and shape. The best thing would be a light, long and narrow, streamlined torpedo shape.

Reply to [OC] Median age difference between US Senators and the US population (1950-2022) v2 by JolietJakeLebowski
Just thinking about demographics, is the average age dip in the late 60s the baby boomers reaching adulthood and having children, skewing the population young?
Likewise the dip in average senator age around 1980 would be baby boomers reaching their 30s and being eligible for the senate?
