  • I think for those classic clicky dumb thermostats they should be called thermochaser.

    You dial up a temp and that’s pretty much the least likely temp that you’re setting, the f****** think will overshoot panic, u-turn dive back past the set-point hit the breaks u-turn again apply full throttle.

    Or perhaps a thermotease. For when you do that fine adjustment to try and make it just barely click then 10 seconds later it’s too hot or cold… so you give it anither tiny tweak thinking you gotta be close but no, it’s miles away from clicking - burning away, quietly mocking you.








  • I hear you and actually subscribe to your magazine. But…

    Is your chicken-zero growing inside a chicken egg, or is it growing in a proto-chicken-thingo™ egg? I agree the thing growing will be born as the worlds first chicken and then grow its own eggs but what do we call the egg it’s in?

    Is the egg named after the thing it hatches? Or, is the egg named after the thing that made the egg? Which might be the same as asking, is it called a “chicken egg” or “chicken’s egg” … or… both?

    I guess I’ll need to actually read the research paper to find out.
