Tungsten is definitely the way to go here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Unless it’s thoriated tungsten anyway. Thorium->Radium->Radon->Polonium->Lead (I think?) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Why would tungsten be thoriated? Is it an impurity which is hard to remove, or is it intentionally added for some specific purpose? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) It’s used as electrodes for TIG welding torches. It was originally specified for aerospace and nuclear welding jobs because it’s really durable and handles heat well. And then it became popular everywhere else for the same reasons. Now it’s supposed to be used less, but a lot of guys still like it for its consistency. If you don’t grind it to sharpen it it’s pretty safe to handle. So you can get pre ground electrodes for high end welding work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Cool, TIL!

My wife puts off heat like an oil furnace under the covers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kyyrypyy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it. So, yes, it is a feature? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I meant small women, not fat ones. The original comment was "my tiny girlfriend". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kyyrypyy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo "tiny body" does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area. So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Gotcha.
