      That appears to be a guess at best. Kinda a hallucination.

      https://www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/what-temp-does-wood-ignite.157829/

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_drying

      The practicalmachinist is just a random forum thread, but with various numbers scattered through it. The Wikipedia article doesn’t even talk about ignition temperature, from what I can parse.


      FYI ‘default’ LLMs are really bad at numbers, due to the way they sample and tokenize them. Don’t trust them for that.

      But if you must, use a big LLM instead of DDG’s default. I suggest this, which has an excellent web research mode:

      https://chat.z.ai/

      Or this, at a low temperature, though its research mode isn’t as good:

          Which model though? What settings? 4o mini at ~1 temperature?

          That’s both power inefficient and not very intelligent/reliable.

        Paper has auto-ignition temperature higher than 420°F, I would expect wood to be at least same as paper or higher

        Edit: ok, I found a link to the study that says the wood will ignite at a lower temperature but will require some time (maybe the same is true for paper, now I’m not sure, it definitely chars in the oven)

          The problem with using an oven as a reference is that the majority of ovens have relatively large temperature swings. You might set it to 420F, but the temperature swing can be anywhere from 10-60F, so it’s possible to hit 480F which is well over the autoignition temp.

      Commercial HVAC, especially at restaurants, is a completely different beast to home AC. You need a stable set temperature so you can tune the air balance. You need it to be slightly positive to neutral so the doors won’t fight customers and you don’t get a huge dump of outside air every time they open.

    The biggest issue with that comic is someone being cold at 69°F. Your circulation is Fucked with a capital F if you’re cold at that temperature.

      I live with my elderly parents and they like to keep the house at 80F. I managed to eke out a compromise to keep the thermostat at 75. Naturally enough, they bitch quite loudly about the monthly gas bill. In summer with the AC on they keep the thermostat at 65 and wear sweaters and sit watching TV with blankets around them.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
