why does a thick, viscous material settle better when I knock the container against a wet rag than when I hit the counter against a harder object?
Hard objects collide elastically which transfers more force in the opposite direction after the collision. Adding a rag, towel, or pillow softens the surface and the collision is now inelastic as some of the force of the jar colliding with the countertop is absorbed by the fibers of the cloth. Think what would happen if you dropped a glass marble on your countertop versus on a towel on your countertop. The marble would likely bounce up in the first scenario and not in the second. Similarly, the sauce in the jar experiences upward force from the jar after the elastic collision with the countertop but not with the rag softening the inelastic collision. You could optimize sauce flow to the bottom by changing the method used to apply forces to the jar. Get a string, tie it around the lid of the jar, and swing the jar around your head a few times. If you don’t yeet the jar against the wall accidentally, almost all of the paste/gel/viscous liquid should be at the bottom of the jar afterward.

Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?
Reply in thread
Have you heard of Homeassistant? It’s a self-hosted smart home solution that fills a lot of the gaps left by the most smart home tech. They’ve recently added and refined support for various different voice assistants, some of which run completely on your hardware. I have found they have great community support for this project and you can also buy their hardware if you don’t feel like tinkering on a Raspberry Pi or VM. The best thing (IMHO) about Homeassistant is that it is FOSS.

Here’s an article with a bit more detail… but I’m still unclear whether these backdoor commands are hardware circuits or firmware logic.

LPT: If you have a lot of loose zip ties, well cut the head off of one and zip the rest onto that!
You can also just slide the zip ties backwards onto an intact zip tie. The lock will not engage backwards. That way when you’ve used the stored ties you still have one to use.

How much RAM is in your average EV car, and is it DDR5?
I don’t know if it’s DDR5. Probably soldered onto a custom board. Here’s an article that says the average now is 90 GB RAM+NAND: https://www.micron.com/about/blog/applications/automotive/new-research-shows-cars-need-more-memory-than-a-rocket

Predicting Trump and co are going to start saying Wall Street went woke and corporate boards are being paid for their opposition by China and George Soros. All the greatest hits.

Ifixit comments on lack of upgradable RAM in framework desktop
There are actually new RAM interfaces being developed. One I have heard of is CAMM2. This new interface improves on the performance that can be achieved with current DIMM interfaces by about 50%. Here’s an article from Corsair with more info: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/memory/what-are-camm2-and-lpcamm2/
It would have been nice to see this added to the new Framework desktop. The main argument against this would be cost/availability. New standards bring improved performance but may raise the price point of the computer to an unmarketable level. Also, Framework would have to source these modules, which are new and still niche. They would also have to adjust their motherboard design to accommodate the new interface which could introduce additional design considerations or cost.

You have to invent a new type of candy or dessert, but if it's physically impossible or another commenter can prove it already exists, you lose. What are you making?

This depends on a lot of factors like distance, direction, and original intensity. But it can be painful or worse, cause permanent hearing loss.
