I used to play around with my TI83 trying to find the highest number I could put in as an exponent of 2 that wouldn’t fault the calculator

Touch screens are essentially one connection for infinite buttons with different screens and menus.

Pour a little bit of whatever cooking oil you have on your hands and make sure to thoroughly spread it on your hands, like in between your fingers and under your nails, then wash with hot water and soap. The capsaicin oils will mix with the cooking oils, dilute, and be more noticeable to remove. This also works for poison ivy oils and pine sap
One of the things I’ve read about why things are the way they are is a comparison to probabilities, the thought is that similar to how there is one and only one way to roll a bunch of dice and have them come up all ones, there would be one and only one way for there to be “nothing” in the universe given the existence of any energy because of how many different ways energy can exist it’s much more probable that you get a jumbled pile of all kinds of different things.
Now as for the question of “where did all this energy come from” you have to realize that even the vacuum of space contains energy of some level and the 'visible universe ’ that is all of the matter that interacts with electromagnetic fields only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total energy we can detect so it’s likely that the energies that make up our matter and universe came from “somewhere else” … but then where did that energy come from and then it’s turtles all the way down

I’m just here to say I LOVE Three Panel Soul.
I’ve read through all of the artists previous comic, Machall Comics, like four or five times and it makes me extremely happy that they are still making new TPS
Mozz is relatively easy and quick to make, and gets used in a bunch of foods that are pretty popular like pizza so lots of it gets made.
The cost of most things broadly comes down to supply and demand, if it’s expensive there’s either a low supply or high demand or both, if it’s cheaper there’s usually a high supply or low demand or both.
Some prices are artificially inflated by limiting the supply to intentionally not keep up with the demand, like with diamonds and houses. Illegal drugs are similar, there is always some demand for them and they’re consumed when used. Prices are high because supplies are limited due to the legal risks. When cannabis was illegal prices were higher, but since many states legalized prices have fallen because there’s just more of the stuff around
I thought there was a relatively good explanation for ice spikes having to do with the volumetric expansion of water as it transitions phases from liquid to solid. Basically as an ice cube freezes there is a shell formed over the top surface and under the right circumstances it forms from the outside edges in leaving a hole, but then instead of the hole closing over ice starts forming downward into the bulk of the cube, pushing liquid water out of the hole which is then frozen into a protrusion
