    Water is not subjective? Interesting? So water will freeze exactly at 0 and boil at 100, and it won’t matter about say pressure? Or whats in the water, like say salt? And pretty sure I’ve seen videos and done it myself where you bring pure water below 0 and it doesn’t freeze. Suppose this video is just fake then? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nse-LUpVQu8

    Seems water is a tad bit subjective. Like the rules for when it freezes and boils is… not exactly constant. I mean, they are, under ideal conditions on Earth. But… ya know, that sort of goes against the circlejerk…















  • It’s a 7-Eleven Slurpee machine. If a new flavor was coming, it wouldn’t be a surprise, and they’d know well in advance (well managment would). Now I don’t frequent 7-Eleven so I can’t say how often they swap out flavors, but most places tend to just maintain outside of special promotions or discontinued products.

    There’d be no reason for those to be touchscreens, they’re not like the Coke Freestyle that lets people pick. Those Slurpee machines are manually controlled by the customer. It being a touchscreen or a server somewhere… is needless over-engineering and a bunch of e-waste to replace an insert. A physical insert never had a CVE. A phsyical insert doesn’t need tech support (both for the OS + application + networking + hardware) on top of the maintenance for the machine (the parts that cool and make the Slurpee). A physical insert cannot crash. The only thing adding a screen + Linux + whatever else does is make the presentation a bit cleaner (at an increase in cost and waste). This is like the places that replaced the glass doors with giant screens (sorry for linking to anything Reddit) https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/p8s7ab/the_cvs_on_irvingpulaski_installed_these_screens/#lightbox
