For atomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), their average velocity (almost never the same across a given sample, and less likely the larger the sample) is measurable, and we call that temperature. It's a way to describe the total energy of a system. As it happens, we use that property for everything from steam turbines to cutting torches to deep freezers. It's a simplified answer, but the engineering realities take into account many other properties and variables which relate to temperature in order to achieve the desired effects.

I take your point about Steam's licensing, but at least those games go on some impressive sales from time to time. A physical disk can be resold on the used market for a discount after some time. Can GTA VI's code in the box?

I wonder how they figure out how to do that. Are they really that intelligent? Fascinating if so!

Are you going to apply this logic to the activities which took place on Epstein Island?

Those Nazis really get my goat!

I think it's a parody of books like this:

Boeing actually did this when they designed the 777. They were the first manufacturer to hire a Chief Mechanic to participate in the design process. His name is Jack Hessburg.

In his role as chief mechanic at Boeing, Hessburg led a group of more than 100 mechanics in designing features into the 777 that have made it one of the most mechanic-friendly airplanes in the world.

Ow, My Balls! (2506)

Hmm, let me elaborate. If I were to do it, I'd hook a hose up to the spigot on a basement sink. I've seen some that have external threads so one may connect a garden hose to it. I would then take my length of garden hose into a convenient space in the basement, perhaps one that helps maximise airflow or is close to a basement drain or some other available place. Then I would plumb the garden hose into the inlet of one of my radiators, and the outlet to the next inlet, and so on. As the relatively cool well water passes inside the radiators, my box fan draws warm humid air (almost 100% humidity on a dangerous wet-bulb day!) through the grilles of the radiators and exchanges some heat. In theory, the exhaust of the box fan/radiator assembly is now somewhat cooler and possibly drier. The now heated well water I would then plumb from the outlet of the final radiator to the sink so it could go down the drain. If the heated water were returned to the well, there are contamination issues as well as significantly more heat losses depending on the available water capacity and exchange rate of the well. Does this setup differ from what you had in mind?

I'm picturing a Corsi-Rosenthal box with automotive radiators connected in series instead of air filters! The inlet hooked to a sink, and the outlet hooked to the drain. Heat losses would be introduced at the well's pump, and at the box fan motor. As long as nothing leaks, the only things to worry about would be the added power consumed, the added wear on the well pump, and the well water's rate of replenishment. Oh, and the condensation which may collect on the radiators. An interesting DIY idea. I wonder if anyone has already tried it.
