Be Excellent To Each Other

What about the bedclothes?

Just run a cold bath and sleep in there.

Try heroin.

Funnily enough your earlier post made me think about how you like to sleep in a wind tunnel!

Move to outer space.

Due to the wife’s dodgy back we have a stupidly expensive Mammoth mattress which I think is made of foam, but it is the best foam and comfortably (hah) the best thing I have slept on. I love it.

That makes absolutely no sense.

You monster. No wonder they died out.

We stayed at Russell’s grandad’s, and his first room has a FEATHER DUVET on it. It is stupidly warm and SO HEAVY. The heaviness is actually really wonderful and comfortable, if it weren’t for the heat. I remarked on the heaviness of it to Russell, and he said it was the weight of guilt for all the poor ducks. That kind of spoiled it.

I have memory foam on top of normal foam and I love it, the two previous pocket sprung with topper types I had previously got our shapes squished into them within a year or so and made gloing noises occasionally which was annoying. This one's like new after about 5 years. Awesomes.
Hypnia I think is the brand.

There is no Craster, only zool.

Not least of which because space has no convective or conductive cooling at all. Spacecraft need cooling fins.

I don't doubt what you're saying but how come they were all freezing their tits off on Apollo 13 after they turned all the power right down?

I can't turn my power right down. I'm a walking runaway reactor.

Because the Apollo Missions were faked, and that one actually took place in a warehouse in North Dakota during December.

There wasn't much source of heat in there beyond the people and the electrics, and there weren't many electrics compared to a modern spacecraft. Also the film may have exaggerated this, although I'm not sure.

Space isn't meaningfully hot or cold; hot and cold are characteristics of matter and space doesn''t have much of that. So a space ship or station is gaining heat due to processes happening within in (ie. people doing work and electrical systems working) and absorption of sunlight, and losing heat from radiation, which is pretty inefficient. Depending on what's going on and how it's designed it's quite possible it gains heat faster than it loses it. Without cooling systems (e.g. the ISS's), it'd overheat.

While I'm OT and talking about common misconceptions about space, the force of gravity caused by the Earth on board the ISS isn't zero. It's about 90% of the level it is at the surface of the Earth. (ISS orbits about 400 km up. It's not that far.)

Beex is the absolute best at topic creep.

Get an Xbox.

I'll sleep on it.

Is it Dimrill?

Which is why it keeps on going around the planet instead of just fucking off into space or falling into the sun. Saying "on board" is a bit misleading though, far from clearing up a misconception it would have people thinking that the occupants can actually feel the effect of 90% of earth's gravity.

What's the point of cooling fins when there's no conductive or convective cooling?

Radiative, innit.

Is mattress gate on topic here?

but more seriously.. it seems like all podcasts are sponsored by mattress factories these days... interesting..
