Naturally there's some small local variations, but if you let the system come up to steady state, that's what will occur.
And yes, the other commenter is correct. LNO2 works so well because it freezes the ice cream so fast that the crystals don't have time to grow very large, which produces a nice and smooth texture in the final product.
Yes, though you have to be careful. If you add too much alcohol you'll prevent your mixture from properly freezing.
David Leibowitz, author of "The Perfect Scoop" recommends no more than 45ml of 80 proof liquor per 1 liter of ice cream mixture.
Hah, that's true, but I didn't want to mention it as it's not entirely in the aim of the essay :)
Say you have 500 tickets. You give everyone who wants to go 48 hours to submit how much they're willing to pay for a ticket. At the end of the time period the 500 people whose bids were the highest all get the tickets.
You could publish the current price of the tickets during the bidding time frame and allow people to modify their bids at any point.
The final price would be whatever the 500th lowest bid was. In the event of a tie, choose randomly among the people tied for 500th.
I imagine this would be greeted with complaints about how it gives the rich an advantage, but I can't think of a fairer way to distribute tickets that also avoids the scalper problem.

Why aren't these just bundled by default??
I got the very first Lego Star Wars set, Lukes X-Wing [1], and while I loved it as a kid the newest Xwing that my son just got [2] is so much better on every level. It's bigger, more detailed, looks sleeker, and has this really clever mechanism that opens the wings synchronously when you press down on a piece.
All the new sets are this way. The care and detail that Lego puts into them has dramatically improved in the last 20 years.
He still takes them apart a few months after he gets them and builds something new. I don't think that will ever change, the thrill of making something on your own will never go away. Furthermore, the online community of people making things and sharing their creations has exploded since I was a child. We had a single user forum (LUGnet) where a small handful of people congregated. All images were uploaded to a single, tiny website (brickshelf) to be shared. Now you have youtube channels, instagram pages, tiktok creators, subreddits, you name it. The resources available for creating and sharing your own designs is massive!

Full article headline, for those who read the title and thought "... obviously?"
To me, a lot of it feels like people can't believe that a thinking human would ever vote for "the bad guys", so they go searching for some other explanation. It must have been some sort of brainwashing, that's the only reason someone would ever fall for their obvious lies!
Curiously, I very rarely hear people who complain about social media admit to it influencing their own political decisions, it's always their opponents who are being led astray.
Consider the cabling in a data center: It's very easy to create a new connection by dragging a cable down the aisle from one device to the other. But do this over and over and you'll be left with a tangled mess that's impossible to maintain, understand, and document.
Short quick fixes can be appropriate under the right circumstances, but it's important to go back and clean them up at the earliest opportunity.
