I get asked "Do you have my keys" a few times a week.  I must put off the vibe of "one who steals keys for which I have no use".

Dumbass, she's not asking if you have her keys, she's asking you to HELP HER FIND HER KEYS

For all you guys having key problems, you ever thought about getting a tile locator fob for her keychain?  

Yeah, 3 years ago for Christmas.  She lost it, still in the package wrapped.  UPDATE:  Found it yesterday.

My wife must be trying to collect on my life insurance.  
 

I was installing a couple of dimmer switches earlier today and also needed to put in a new fan.  I had the corresponding breaker switches off for the dimmers and was just wrapping up.  I asked my wife to go flip off the breaker switch for the fan since she was heading to the garage.
 

I guess I wasn’t specific enough....and this is partially my fault for still working on the dimmers while she was flipping a breaker.  But she didn’t turn the fan off....she, instead, turned the breakers back to “on” and gave me a nice little jolt.  Nothing serious but a good pop.  She told me she thought I wanted them all “on”.   

pussy, it's always more exciting when things are live

 

We have two of these at $98/each

Akin to the thermostat stuff:

wife: I’m going to put this bottle of wine in the freezer instead of the fridge so it cools down faster

me, inner monologue:  that makes no sense, woman. Prepare yourself for a lecture on thermodynamics!  Actually the rate of cooling would be the same ah this is pointless. 
me:  ok dear. 

I hope you didn’t study thermodynamics at UT. The freezer will chill a bottle of wine faster than the fridge, but an ice water bucket will chill it faster than either. It is a completely different situation than the thermostat on your AC. The AC thermostat does not control the temperature of the air coming out of your air ducts, merely at what inside temperature your AC will turn off.

Just CH353. I swear the dT is independent of the two temperatures and is a property of the material (glass bottle and aqueous solution) but I’ll look at the formula posted as a refresher. 
 

still not seeing how time is involved in q=mcdt and am still of the belief that m and c and dT are the same whether the bottle is in the fridge or freezer.

I think you are confusing this with the other wife-ism of “if I lower the setting of the air conditioning it will Cool the house faster”.

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its surroundings. (Source)

Husbands and their lack of knowledge of thermodynamics thread is that way ----->>

I don't think thermodynamics have anything to do with it because she'll forget she put it in there until she discovers the mess from it exploding.

Not starting shit here but did you read that entire link? Or do you know this thermodynamic stuff. I don’t. I read that very editable wiki link. And if true it actually says del Muerto might be correct. My inebriated self is siding with del Muerto based solely off wiki. and not off the fact I put beer in the freezer to cool faster ....and ice chest are even faster but duh on that fact. 
 

What the hell? Thermodynamic talk not going away? Ain’t nobody got time for that. 

Time to add thermodynamics to the theoretical dishwasher/microwave talk thread.

You should read it again. 

Experimental data will support the argument that the freezer will be faster than he fridge.  For extra credit demonstrate why, under ideal circumstances, having the bottle of wine lay on its side in the freezer rather than standing up will cool it faster.

Because the air will circulate faster in a bottle on it's side because the air has less distance to travel.

I can't imagine that's correct. Since heat  transfer is a function of surface area I don't think it should make much, if any, difference. If it does I can only guess it's due to the bottle being incompletely filled. The trapped air bubble will equilibrate faster than the liquid, so turning the bottle on it's side leads to a longer, shallower bubble, exposing more surface area of the liquid.

It has to do with giving the convection currents more room to efficiently travel up and down in the bottle.  Under ideal circumstances it may reduce the time to chill a bottle of wine in the freezer from room temperature to serving temperature by a few minutes.

How does one not know just from experience that you can chill a warm beverage faster in the freezer than in the refrigerator?

Maybe it’s a negligible difference. The two places are only around 8 degrees different. 
 

i do know from experience that you can chill a 6 pack of cans in about 5 seconds with a co2 fire extinguisher.

You can't make this shit up-

Over at one of my wife's friends on Saturday for a small gathering. Grilling out, beers, etc. Well my wife brought a dish that needed to be cooked in the oven. 

Wife's (single) friend- I preheated the oven to 200 degrees anything over that and it will burn

Me- What? 

WSF- Yeah, it's a new oven and anytime I cook anything over 200 it burns. I need to call the service guy back out

Me-WTF? Looking at the oven for 5 seconds.. I fixed your oven. 

WSF- OMG what did you do??????

Me- turned it from Celsius to Fahrenheit...............

So I asked her what the first thing she cooked was-

A frozen pizza: 425F she had the oven set to 800 Fucking degrees! 

WSF- No wonder everything was burning.

You don’t even need to test it, the equation is linked above. Guesstimate a constant and solve it under the two different conditions.  I just don’t feel like doing it.

You didn’t say “no pics” soooooo where are they?

What if the wine bottle is placed on its side on a treadmill coated with liquid helium but the entire apparatus is inside a chamber insulated to adiabatic conditions...

I love the story and I laughed... but we may need a ruling here.... if she's single.... does that qualify to be in the wives thread?

from the googles

The ideal freezer temperature is 0 Fahrenheit (-18 Celsius) for all food storage

The optimal temperature range for the refrigerator is 34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to keep food safe yet unfrozen
