<yamar> note: you would have to throw a hotdog at 1800mph to cook it with air friction
<qazwsx> yamar: how did you arrive by that answer
<qazwsx> Ah shit, brain's at it again
<yamar> qazwsx, it was on r/askscience
<yamar> which is like a nirvana for me
<qazwsx> Gotta take into account drag coefficients, cooling due to convection
<yamar> they did
<qazwsx> Easiest and simplest way
<yamar> was a <massive> explanation with lots of math
<yamar> including multiplying the velocity by 2 or so to account for heat lost to the air etc
<qazwsx> And wrongest way would just be to work out the specific heat needed to raise temperature by x degrees then use 1/2mv^2,
<adpaolucci> sup
<qazwsx> And use that as a lower bound
<adpaolucci> ewww math
<qazwsx> Holy shit it's nearly 00:30
* adpaolucci shoots himself
<qazwsx> Need sleep
<qazwsx> Night y'all
-few mins later-
<qazwsx> Godamnit, yamar
<yamar> hmm?
<yamar> got you stuck on the hotdog problem did I?
<qazwsx> I'm thinking about how to do this with drag coefficients and differential equations
<qazwsx> differential
<qazwsx> right
<yamar> hahah
<qazwsx> I'm going to assume a spherical hot-dog
<qazwsx> so, meatball then
<brjannc> lmfao
<qazwsx> oh damn, I haven't thought about conduction yet
<brjannc> "assume a spherical horse"
<yamar> the meatball would flake apart well before reaching any suitable speedComment: We did not end up solving this one. #vox on esper.net
