Pretty much all day on Sundays, it's a treat when I have an evening free the rest of the week to watch.

...guess I'll have to get my own.

*ponders*

West-to-east redeye tonight. Always messes up my sleep schedule.

Sabers

Good afternoon, Hatsu, Luin.

I feel like having something different to drink today. Hatsu, what do you recommend?

There's been a dearth of qualifying threads I wanted to comment on for about a week now. And I'm heading out of town this evening so will be without access when round 5 starts.

Just means I won't be able to join the rush at T+zero.

EDIT: The Corporate Overlords canceled the reason for my traveling and the co-ordinator only got around to telling me about an hour ago. Jerk.

But that means I'll be online at T+zero.

Disclaimer: I am not a physicist, but...

Heat transfer by contact is more efficient than by radiation. Technically, the heat you feel when you hold your hand over a hot frying pan is being transferred to air molecules which you feel, but for the average person "heat radiating from the frying pan" is a workable understanding. You can hold your hand over a hot pan longer than you can stand to physically touch it, because touching it lets a *lot* more heat transfer to your skin.

The outside crust is more densely packed than the softer inside; compare the porous structure of the inside to the crust. There's more contact with the pan along the crust to transfer heat to, so more heat is absorbed along the crust. However there's fewer connections to the softer inside, so fewer channels for heat to follow. The crust retains more heat than it passes along and gets cooked more thoroughly.

On a materials standpoint, the crust is stiffer than the inside. If you look at a slice of bread it is nearly always thinner in the center than along the crust. The tension in bread tries to shrink it. You can see some of this effect in the warped shapes of dried out slices. The stiffer crust resists this shrinkage, but you still wind up with a lighter contact with the pan away from the crust.

Note that the inside is also more flexible, and tends to sag. This is why the center of a side tends to be more cooked than the area between the center and the crust.

I won't be available to claim at T+zero even if I make the post count. *bites nails*

*steps out of office to get a refill*

Evening, Zamor.

*has finally shifted enough papers to close the door to the office*

*pile doesn't get any smaller*

*starts picking up papers*

...gonna be a long night...

*papers burn merrily...then reconstitute themselves*

*facepalm*

*waves left hand, it glows slightly. the fragments of paper lift up and swirl around the office. the remaining papers lift up and join the maelstrom. it suddenly stops and all the papers are whole again. they float to the ground, now completely and utterly out of order.*

*shoos Dark out of the office and hands the TV out to him*

The post count is in the URL. I use Chrome, whenever I hover on a link the URL shows along the bottom of my screen.

Hatsu's post is # 3,882,043.

EDIT: How the hell did my post get delayed that badly?

*uses DarkShatter as a surface to stack papers on as the sorting begins*

I'm dependent on the stuff.

*unlocks the Accountant's office & sighs at the piles*

Boss: You should be an auditor.
Me: I am an auditor, I just happen to work for you under a different job title. Do you really want me to find these things from the outside?
Boss: .....
