It is even more complex than that. Milk exposed to UV light (irrespective of the temperature) can very quickly develop a "cardboard" taint that is clearly detectable even in tea (or coffee). Given enough time, the UV light can trigger autooxidation that begins to break the milk's fatty acids into aldehydes and ketones that make the milk taste rancid.

This is useful information … but if we try and chase down too many variables and too many experimental goals, we are going to end up in trouble, drinking frapuccinos and who knows what and I'd hate to see things sink that low.

Jcakes don't seek no approval.

Jcakes seeks the truth.

Be more Jcakes.

(I think this is worth a "Like".Just sayin'.)
 
Is it hot for anyone else? I'm assuming my Belgian friends have the same problem. And Australia is probably never not hot. But outside that? Yesterday it was 39,3 degrees here. Which was a national record. Today we went royally above that with 40,4. Good thing i can stand the heat, but i hear a lot of people complaining (though that is a national sport).

Also: I may be on tv. Yesterday they came to shoot for some item on tv and i did get filmed, so if they don't cut it i get to be on tv.
 
It's very hot here.

Now you'll want me to say where 'here' is but then, I will have to find out why you need to know that particular piece of information ... then it'll be a chase across borders ... innocent women will provide transport to out of the way places in the country ... there will be trained assassins ... and it will all end up where it started, in Berlin.

Get some rest, Pam. You look tired.
 
Update: apparently we're also beyond 40,4 now. They upped it to 40,7. So that's almost a degree and a half above the previous record from yesterday.
 
Temperature should always be expressed in Kelvin, no exceptions.

Daily high temp has been running about
302.59K for this week, which is quite the nice break from the 310.93K that was the average high temp for last week. Nothing quite like a cool font in the middle of summer. ;)


EDIT: also worth noting that USA uses USCS, not Imperial.

Kelvin is a name, not something to express temperature. What, Celsius and Fahrenheit are names too, you say? Utter lies !!! Whatever, I'll continue to use Celsius, thank you :).

Yes, it's too warm here in Belgium. I tend to think I'm not a person who complains much (except for D2, because there it is proven to help), but I can't stand hot weather at all. So yes, it's way too hot here. Looking forward to the weekend, when we'll have rain and lower temperatures.
 
Even Celcius isn't right... old Anders himself called it "centigrade", which makes sense, as it's based on the boiling and freezing points of water on a scale of 100...

Still think just using Kelvin as world standard would solve many logistics problems, and is just a way cooler way to express temperature.
 
Is there not an argument in this post-factual world of ours that actual defined measures of temperature are elitist, oppressive and dismissive of lived experience?

Should not the scale be based upon something along the lines of "Golly, that seemed terribly cold to me but all opinions are welcome" up to "Gosh, that was hot but I accept that mine is not the only valid viewpoint", with interim values expressed in feelings rather than via some patriarchal and out-dated "scale"?
 
Normally i'd complain that the other 2 people that are in the same room as me at work had the day off, but i think it was a good thing now. They were already complaining about the temperatures the last few days (airco in our room doesn't work too well). But today the airco at the office completely stopped working, so it was even hotter than usual. I really feel short pants to work should be a thing. Otherwise i may consider to become scottish so i can start wearing dresses.
