Amazing info from a slow cooker recipes facebook group. If only Fleischmann & Pons had put a clay pot over their experiment...
OTOH, they aren't exactly wrong.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion humorously critiques the lack of understanding of physics among some individuals, using a metaphor about slow cookers and HVAC systems. Participants joke about the absurdity of using clay pots over heater vents and question whether this concept applies to air conditioning as well. Sarcasm is noted as a challenge in online communication, with some expressing frustration over misunderstandings. The conversation blends lighthearted banter with a nod to scientific principles. Overall, it highlights the intersection of cooking techniques and HVAC discussions in a playful manner.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here.
Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it:
Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources)
Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources)

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up.
It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
