I worked at summer camp in the mid 2000s where we had two Korean kids whose mom refused to have fans in their room. There was no AC and the poor kids baked every night in 80-90 degree weather. | ||

The bolded part isn't really true. It depends on the contact point and how far the pivot point is, as I described at nauseating length on the previous page. The angle of the head shouldn't be important as long as it's not too extreme. It goes as the cosine of the angle, which is taylor expanded into cos(x) = 1 - x^2/2 + ..., so it's a second order correction. If you get the head within 10 degrees of horizontal, or maybe even 20, then I think it's good enough for your 10% accuracy that you can reasonably aim for here. | ||

I, personally, have better things to do than hang out near the pizza section of my local supermarket, but to each his own. I wouldn't just "hang out there" lol, I'd just casually freeze something in (leftovers from me, bread from them, whatever) when I get some groceries and pick up the frozen shit when I get groceries some other time. It's all about the indefinite storage logistics mang, both temporally and spatially. | ||

And perhaps other shoppers (and workers) seeing your tupperware with delicious frozen food, and taking it for themselves. It´s like a laundry. You can leave your stuff in the machine and go and do something else, but if you leave your laundry unattended too long, it might not be there anymore when you get back (obviously also depends on the location and the quality of your clothes, so in the analog: just use the store freezer for really gross stuff?). | ||

Well, no, the store freezer would essentially act as my freezer and every time I need stuff from it, or put stuff in it, I go to the store's freezer. The other guys B-b-but guys, it's tucked away really well, they won't find it  I might toy with this idea a bit more... I have a supermarket real close to my home now so I can experiment with it anyway. A bit related to this: how much stuff gets bought from a supermarket every single day? I realize they need to restock on certain key products daily, but stuff like ... idk obscure pasta shapes (shells, what's their name, just shells?), how often do they need to order those in? How long would it take before the entire store is restocked once? | ||

If you have no freezer maybe just live a fresh only life style. Initial defrosting on the way home, let it further defrost at home, heat it up in pan/pot/oven/microwave? Is there some kind of etiquette I'm overlooking? | ||

After a little search I found this:8 Unbelievable Stories of People Who 'Lived' Inside Stores. It's a little clickbaity, but it seems that it is, indeed, possible. These people either were known being there (except the guy in the wall, poor guy), or were discovered and removed reasonably quickly. I wonder how you could stay there indefinitely, though. But that may be steering off too far from my original communal freezer thought perhaps. | ||

I'm unsure what post you're referring to, it's not there after the pic was posted? before that was the discussion about the rods. For the bolded part: well, it's true. you are generally unable to put your neck on the ground too. but for lieing sideways you have to take the angle into account. i just tried it and the head easily makes 45° | ||

I kind of have a similar story, but is easily dwarfed by yours lol. A few years back I also had all the keys to every auditorium of the campus of my university hospital. I had to check and lock up every auditorium once or twice a week. Needless to say, I used to huge projections countless of times to watch SC:BW. | ||

I just meant that it doesn't matter if the mass hovers over the scale or not. It's about the pivot point, the center of mass, and the contact point. What part of the mass is directly above the scale doesn't really matter as long as you keep the other things constant. | ||
