  • I also use Anylist, its great for my partner and i to both add things to. I have added custom categories and named them after each aisle name and what items are there for my regular grocery store. So as i work down the list i am moving along the store and there is very minimal backtracking or going down aisles i dont need to. It has both streamlined my grocery shopping and also cut down on impulse buying crap.







  • Well that would have helped me back in the 2000’s when i was told i worked out maths problems differently to everyone else with this sort of method even though i got the same answers. One teacher had me show my working out for a bunch of problems to understand how i was doing it and it made me internally feel bad at maths because i did it ‘wrong’.







  • As water starts to freeze the molecules start to rearrange thrmselves from a free flowing random motion into a crystal lattice. As it does this the molecules push each other a little further apart and lock into place, but because they are further apart they now take up more ‘space’ and as such they are less dense. The water wround them now has more water molecules for the same volume that the ice does and that means the water sinks (as its heavier) and ice rises.

    To really ELI5: Imagine water is like a crowd of people balanced on a REALLY giant see-saw, everybody is really squished together and when they get cold they decide to put their arms out wide and grab hands with the people around them, but making small circles with the other people also grabbing hands until there is a big group of people made of little rings of people arms out holding hands. Now imagine that the people with their arms out have to spead out and some fall off the edge of the see-saw. Now there are less people on one side of the see-saw and because the other side is heavier, that side drops and the people with their arms out rises.
