measuring temperature ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒก️❄️



this isn't something i normally think about. this is a rather odd thought to me, which is saying something as i like to think the unorthodox of thoughts.

i'm writing this blog now, as reflection after seeing a video by Answer in Progress (swish)

normally when i check the weather forecast. (which isn't often)
but when i do, i usually only look at the top number because... laziness ¯\_(ใƒ„)_/¯
after all, why should i look at all the information when i can use previous knowledge of how hot/cold the displayed temperature will be. the REAL QUESTION is: 
why is the hottest part of the day around 3-4pm? 


but this video that i'm pondering over, made me realize how easy we take life in some areas. i mean we can't put 100% in everything we do all the time, that leads to burnout. 

when Sabrina was going over the factors affecting the weather forecast (displayed just below the forecast info. very easy to find and read) i realized that it takes more than just heat/solar intensity to foretell weather updates. 
and that's why i'm writing this very blog now. to tell you people how incompetent i am at times.

————————————————————————————————————————
also i initially thought Sabrina was going to talk about Celcius, Farenheit, Kelvin and some other temperature measurements because of how the video was titled.  

(how I genuinely felt watching that video)

Web3 GAMING..?


Polium is using the new Web3 structure for all those gamers out there. Is it a good idea though?  ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคจ

Cloud/Server gaming is still  a new concept, and only some productions have pulled it off well. and the whole point of Web3 and Decentralisation gives us: The People more  control on online platforms. 
Cloud Gaming is a great idea because it gives us more space to store ENTIRE game files, however with games with seriously INTENSE graphics, story etc you may need to delete those game files when buying new games.
    there could also be a "gamer library" I guess? ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿคก

but imagine server gaming at another level... where people  actually BUY Virtual Storage at their preference with all the needs they need to play the games they want with little physical stuff in their house/room/etc.

and to think, all this re-structuring is possible  because the Mothers and Fathers of the internet. whoever they were chose for the TCIP stack to be free for all to use as we go and change for all our convinient internet needs. ✨


FYI Polium releases the console in 2024. stay tuned I guess?

so this kind of a part 2 of a blog. the first part can be found here and that's just me wondering if milk and water are technicaly the same colour? 
I asked around on a bunch of questions websites for professional nerds to read and attempt to answer; as well as some nerdy friends of mine. :) 

and here's where I am now: 

Reflection: When a wave meets a boundary, it can be reflected or transmitted. Reflection can be partial or complete. Reflection can also involve a phase flip (change of phase of 180 degrees.) 

Refraction: Occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction. 

Diffraction: Refers to the "bending of waves around an edge" of an object. Diffraction depends on the size of the object relative to the wavelength of the wave.

which brings me to my question: are water and milk technicaly the same colour? 
in short no. sad right? let me explain like in BBC Bitesize amounts. 

Water is technicaly colourless because it has total reflection going on compared to milk. partly because water and milk have different densities.
(for a few reasons including how milk is made) but mainly because when light hits water, most is REFRACTED and DIFFRACTED and some is REFLECTED. 

with milk, less light is diffracted and more light gets absorbed.
so in conclusion, translucent objects are different coloured to opaque objects.

Milk v Water

there are 3 types if people when it comes to the "coffee v tea" argument
1. those who like coffee
2. thise who like tea
3. joksters who like to bring up a third drink option they like or saying they like both drinks equally.

not that one option is better than the other, these questions are normally used to break the ice when meeting new people.

icebreakers are cool, but asking for favourites can get boring if you don't follow up. i mean you're already in a conversation, so why are you afraid of conversing with the other person/people?

anyhoo, usually the 3rd option for coffee or tea involves someone saying milk, water or hot coco.
and i've a thought that been bugging me for a while now which is
if white is the colour that reflects all colours, then are milk and water technically the same colour?

i posted the quested on Quora and i got some responses that i don't fully understand, but what i can take away is
1. milk is opaque while water is transparent
2. milk and water both aren't pure, they both have lots of  other chemicals mixed into them
3. (linking on from point 1) 
water, milk and air have different densities
and light diffracts, reflects and refracts at different angles. SO they appear differently

then there are the more technical answers which are confusing to grasp without visual explanations/someone to converse to

so that's why i wrote this blog, so i can share with people with better understanding and get a satisfying answer (because i feel like my head is going to explode)

Human Consciousness

if i lost the ability to speak to myself, i'd probably kill myself. 
that probably sounds weird reading/hearing as another person right? 
because, i talk to myself all the time, despite what people say about the "rules of madness" 

as a human being, i have a consciousness, and i happen to give my consciousness its own voice (2 in fact) so that i can give myself pep-talks when other people aren't around. similar to what Homer Jay Simpson does with his brain.

anyways, what i'm trying to say is, that i have my own voice, a voice of reason and my inner child ALSO, if i couldn't talk to myself, i wouldn't be able to understand anything or make any decision so i'd probably be a danger to society since i could set things on fire or kick an old lady in the shin or poop on somebody's doorstep. 

i would also be a danger to myself and i would be a danger to others, since i won't know if i should stick a fork in a wall socket or not. (obviously if i absolutely NEED to, i would turn it off from the socket)


SO
in conclusion, i'd be a little bit of a psychopath who would probably end up killing myself ¯\_(ใƒ„)_/¯

Lysa's Guide To The Gregorian Calander

DISCLOSURE: for the record, i Lysa Shah Ali don't who Julian or Gregory were or when they were born. what i do know is that Gregory's calander has 3 less days and takes in account for the leap day for a more accurate way of telling time. which, i mean, what even is time? never the less, Gregory did a good job noticing time that the Romans left out, which if we look into Roman history, i feel like happened a lot (i mean 0) But enough with the introduction, i'm here to rant about Gregory's flaws.
take a look at the Gregorian calander, look carefully. (i'm going to say "gregorian calander" so many times in this blog i'm going to hate hearing it after) every month seems to follow a pattern Right? there seems to be 1 consecutive "31 not-31" day rule for every month Right? WRONG! there is a 31 not-31 day rule, but it gets broken. and if we take a look at the Gregorian calandr again, we can spot that the WORST month is August.
AND that is why AUGUST is my LEAST favourite month. not because i "can't stand the heat with my cold, reptillian, British blood" because it gives me OCD and now you have it too

the hero that no one talks about


have you ever thought what would happen if dung beetles went extinct?
I haven't, it was just yesterday after watching a paticular TedEd video where I was given the truth.

if dung beetles died out, the world would be covered in poop, dung beetles eat our stools. they legit chew through our chocolate-hotdogs and keep our planet clean with less methane.
not only do they eat poop but some beetles dig them underground to protect their eggs from predators.
so the next time you see poop or a dung beetle you'll appreciate the beauty of nature.





 

 

May be a cartoon of text that says "I KNOW YOU FEEL REJECTED RIGHT NOW. BUT YOU ARE IMPORTANT ฯ„ฮฟ ME. LOOK AT ME. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF SHIT."

hydration 101

recently I have figured out how to stay hydrated. typically lots of people tend to use words of profanity therefore my suggestion to stay hydrated is to take a sip of water whenever you hear these words of the profanity group.

sure, it'll feel strange and unnatural at first, but then you'll be grabbing your water bottle without any thoughts.

For more information please search up Pavlov's dogs.
