- Do those gold leaf coated cowboy rib chops at Salt Bae go up in price with the price of gold? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 16, 19:30 5
  - I wonder. gold leaf is pretty immaterial, but if you're buying it in bulk I guess the price has doubled in the last 4 years. -- nm - mafic Jul 16, 19:40 4
    - when I first heard about the gold steak thing, it was 1800, about the price of gold, then 2000 as gold rose in price, so.... -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 16, 19:42 3
      - zero chance there's $200 worth of gold on any of those steaks. even now gold's not quite $80/gram, gold leaf is like .02 grams/leaf, - mafic Jul 16, 20:04 2
        
        So you’re saying they wouldn’t jack the price up for no reason? -- nm - VMan Jul 16, 21:22 1
        
        I'd hardly expect that from a restaurant that coats things in gold. -- nm - mafic Jul 16, 21:54

- ELI5, what is the difference between a heat pump and an AC? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 16, 19:35 4
  - all heat pumps are air conditioners, but not all air conditioners are heat pumps. -- nm - mafic Jul 16, 20:24
  - Heat pump does both heating and cooling, and pulls cool air (or hot air) from the atmosphere. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 16, 19:51
