Does an oven pre-heat quicker with a large cast iron pan in it?
  • The contents of the oven have a certain heat capacity, which means you need a certain amount of energy to raise their temperature a certain amount.

    If your pan has a higher heat capacity than the air it replaces, putting the pan in would increase the total heat capacity in your oven. That means more energy is needed to heat it up.

    Now your oven dumps heat energy into it's contents at a certain rate. This rate will not be affected by the pan, it only depends on a) the rate at which the heating elements release heat energy and b) the rate at which heat escapes the oven.

    So adding the pan means more energy is needed to reach the same temperature, but the oven still supplies energy at the same rate, so it takes longer.

    People who use Mouse acceleration, why?
  • Well ChatGPT is wrong. You'd have to look at a particular acceleration curve to determine whether it can be slower or faster. For example if the curve was x^2 (where x is the raw speed) then it would always be faster with acceleration.

    Acceleration is very useful on small trackpads because you can move the mouse across the whole screen with one swipe but still position it accurately if you move your finger slowly.

    Edit: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutscher_Mieterbund

    The Deutscher Mieterbund e. V. (DMB) is a federal association of tenants' associations that sees itself as the political representative of the interests of all tenants of residential property in Germany, independent of the state and political parties. It is the umbrella organization of 15 state associations. These in turn, as registered associations under the name "Deutscher Mieterbund," form the umbrella organizations of local tenants' associations at the state level.
