I hope you realize that floating objects generally orient themselves in such a way that the most buoyant parts are at the top. So while you could float around, you would be hanging by your balls the entire time...

Aviation and space stuff.

Primarily because I've been using it for much longer than Chrome has been a thing so I'm used to it. But Google's shenanigans are also a factor.

I get to find out if I have ulcerative colitis or Crohns in a few days. This gives me hope that even if I have one of them, I won't have to take meds for the rest of my life, or worse, have parts of me removed.

Oh no, now someone will have to write a bot to scrape the ToS once a day or something, and push it to Github if it has changed.

This is technically possible. The cosmic microwave background, i.e. space, is extremely cold (barely above absolute zero) so it basically acts as a heatsink you can pump infinite amounts of heat into. It turns out that if you can make the food radiate heat out into space and prevent it from absorbing more heat from sunlight, it's possible to cool it below ambient temperature. This is also a completely passive process so it requires no electricity or other form of active energy input.

The problem with this is that doing it with food might be impossible. At the moment, we can only really do it using objects with special coatings that have been optimized for this purpose.

Here's a couple interesting videos that explain how it works:

You conveniently left out the definition of "good" so you can move the goalposts if you don't like the answers you get.

They're right there, written in big text and placed in a nice 3x3 arrangement below the jumbled mess of random letters.

Elite Dangerous is the most un-fun game I've spent 1500+ hours on. I want to love it but the developers' actions, or lack thereof, makes it difficult. The game has so much potential the devs won't or can't take advantage of for some reason.
