    Need advice on a computer monitor that goes dark

    Are clarity and clarification synonymous?

    No, I get it. But, likewise, can you establish, create, or produce a property? Yes but this is why I asked the question. (ChatGPT notes the same distinction as you. Clarification is an action, whereas clarity is a state. It also notes they are occsionally interchanged idiomatically.)

    Are clarity and clarification synonymous?

    Ice cube in water: entropy calculation (Calorimetry)

    Unless my calcs are wrong, that's an ice cube 3.68cm on a side dropped into a cubical container 3.91cm on a side, leaving 2.3mm all around (if you held it underwater). 3√50 = 3.68cm 3√(50+10) = 3.91cm

    What is this Facebook formatting trend?

    What is this Facebook formatting trend?

    Nevermind the content of this FB post, I keep seeing this strange format from disparate sources. The post has a pic of the content below and some other image on the top. The top image has nothing to do with the content of the post. I have no idea what it's doing there. Anybody have any clue?
