I think the “radiative cooling” (article link) and “atmospheric window” (publication link) refers to the gap in the atmosphere’s radiation spectrum. It’s an infrared frequency neither emitted by the air/deep space nor is it absorbed by the atmosphere, so the energy is literally beamed into space - passively. Nighthawkinlight (or hawkinlight?) did a video on it and managed to get some test panels to work, cooling to below ambient air temp both in shade and in direct sunlight. All they need is a clear view of the sky. Durability is still an issue as noted by the abstract and his video. I don’t know what molecule emits on the frequency, but the panels were white. Pretty exciting. I hope we get something useful soon. Makes it look doubly silly to have dark gray shingles on houses here.

As opposed to the cheese puff’s gang that told people who wanted Universal Healthcare and Palestinian liberation to fuck off

I have no idea where this mass of pro-Israel lemmy users are. I must not be federated with whoever you’re talking about

Paying, in the exact context of this topic, is to feign a legitimate connection with the performer. Whether you know it’s fake or not, direct interaction feels better. General examples of meaningless connections could be a celebrity answering your AMA question, could be a food company acknowledging your complaint, could be a car company noting your taste, could be a vibrator in a OF performer’s pussy matching the cadence of your tokens, could be a stripper listening to you cry in the vip booth. We are humans and we have silly feelings getting in the way of logic.

For the broader porn topic, paying is something you might do for appreciation of the content from particular sources or to maximize access to content not readily available by torrent. Or for addiction to novelty. I’ve thought about it because the hub/tube sites have shitty search algorithms that don’t do 100% keyword inclusion while pushing trending uploads that are either 90 second OF/cam teasers or overly abusive scenes.
