Molten Aluminum + Lab Techs = Fail

robbersdog49 says...

>> ^Gabe_b:
Doesn't pure Aluminum react violently with air? I vaguely remember from highschool science my teacher say that Aluminum you find in common use is covered by an oxidized layer, but if you can ever get a fresh piece, thats been stored in a medium like oil or turps, as soon as you pull it out it will burst into flames. I think he may have even demonstrated. The way it's burning after the flare up kind of suggest that reaction might be going on.


No, aluminium is a lot more stable than that. Other metals will react with air and moisture like potassium.

There's a very easy test of this. Get something aluminium and scratch the surface, revealing non-oxidised aluminium underneath. Watch for the flames...

That's exactly my point! LOL

Just flip it and it would sound like: "just because you live in a socialist country with low crime doesn't mean the whole world is orderly and open to kindness"

And who the hell told you jeans are great for the gym??? They tear up the seats, traps in moisture, and chafes around your thighs. Keeping the Gym clean?? Where the hell did that come from??

Well, you deal with people that think they are doing you a favor by being a customer and thus "paying your salary" - a very specific animal.
But hey, jeans are great for the gym, they protect against scratches, chug moisture and keep the gym cleaner. Tough life being an enforcer of dress codes... for a gym... meh

OPINION
This New Toilet Paper Is So Soft And Absorbent!


By Ted Roman
Amazed Customer
May 3, 2000 | Issue 36•16

You probably won't believe me when I tell you that new Cushy™-brand bathroom tissue is the softest, most absorbent bathroom tissue you'll ever try. Heck, I was skeptical at first, too! Even after learning about Cushy's™ specially quilted "Moistu-Weave" inlay, I still thought, "Come on! How much better could one bathroom tissue be than another?" But once you've felt for yourself the heavenly sensation of a folded-up wad of Cushy™ sliding across your excrement-smeared anus, you're sure to agree: Cushy™ is the most luxurious tissue you'll ever wipe your ass with!

Wow! When it comes to getting your rectal opening clean as a whistle, removing every last trace of stinking, disgusting fecal matter from the puckered surface of the human anus, Cushy™ just can't be beat! Its patented, three-ply "Feces-Grabbing Action" has been specially designed by scientists to wipe away 30 percent more human dung from the anal region than the leading brand–even in those problem "hairy" areas where tiny balls of shit can get trapped for days! When it comes to making sure my asshole's been wiped right, I trust Cushy™. As the commercial says, "With Cushy™, I Know My Ass Is Clean!®"

And Cushy™ is more than just the most absorbent product ever designed, manufactured, and marketed for the purpose of wiping human waste from the rectal region; it's also the softest. I can't believe how good it feels pressed up against my asshole! Sure, I thought the leading brand was good, but after trying Cushy™, I could scarcely believe the difference! Compared to the sumptuous comfort of Cushy™, the leading brand feels like a portable electric belt-sander grinding my ass down to a chafed and bloody pulp! Wiping with Cushy™, on the other hand, feels as if the defecation residue between my legs is being spirited away on the back of a pillowy-soft cartoon cloud! It's enough to make a person open up a window and shout to the world, "Shit, I Love This Ass-Paper!®"

Cushy™ goes the extra mile to make sure my anus feels pampered like a dainty princess. That's because Cushy™'s not just about getting your ass free of shit particles. It's about treating your entire backside to a feeling of cushiony goodness. It's what the good folks at Global Tetrahedron Forestries, manufacturers of Cushy™, like to call "T.A.C."–Total Asshole Comfort.™ Doesn't your asshole deserve a little T.A.C.?

Your anal region, from your ass cheeks to your dilated sphincter to the interior of your anal column itself, works hard for you each day. Isn't it time you gave a little something back? With Cushy™, my asshole feels as if it's being gently wafted skyward on a freshly scented summer breeze! Try getting that level of comfort from those bargain brands!

Do the other brands offer patented three-ply quilted comfort? Are they lightly perfumed and softened with soothing aloe-based moisturizing lotions? Do they offer Cushy™'s exclusive "Complete Asshole Guarantee®"? Of course not. Whether you've got a thin, runny liquid, a huge, bulky chunk, or even one of those hard-to-wipe, viscous-sludge-type defecations, Cushy™ not only has the absorbency needed to wipe your ass completely free of sticky, after-shit smears and stains; it's gentle enough to make your puckered butthole feel like the King of Siam, reclining on a mound of the finest silk pillows in all of Asia.

Sure, Cushy™ costs a bit more than less ass-pampering brands, but my ass is worth it! Cushy™ is so soft, sometimes I want to take a shit even when I don't have to! Once you've seen for yourself how wonderful, how majestic, how truly awe-inspiring this new bathroom tissue is, you'll know why people say, "Cushy™... You're Gonna Shit Your Pants!©"

Halo of Water Vapor Forms Around Supersonic F-14 Jet

deedub81 says...

There's no way to tell by the cone. Stop arguing about stuff you don't know.

Vapor cones appear at transonic speeds(about Mach .8 - 1.2) AND supersonic speeds. The appearance of the vapor cloud largly depends on the ambient moisture content and air temperature.

Spinach korean side dish (sigeumchi namool)

legacy0100 says...

You know what's good?

My own ghetto recipe:

1. Fresh soft Tofu sauteed in Ssam Jang (쌈장) + a bit of scallions

*you can coat the tofu with flour and beaten eggs + Kosher salt to taste if you'd like. Tofu tends to release a lot of water when given heat, so it's better to suqeeze water out first and coat them with flour to absorb moisture, unless it's hard, firm tofu*

2. Add SiGeumChi Namool to the dish and toss gently.

3. Add ChamGiRum (참기름) and GoChuJang (고추장) if you want a bit of kick.



Why? Because I love soft tofu, and I love SiGeumChi. Just combine the things you like, and hope for a good outcome. That's my motto LOL

Balloon + Liquid Nitrogen

nomino says...

^One step toward explaining the reduction in volume is the fact that all the moisture in the air freezes out. But the moisture, even in saturated air at body temperature (from blowing up the balloon) provides a vapor pressure of only 47 mmHg, a reduction in volume of only about 6% of the total. The next suggestion is that the oxygen in the air will condense out. The boiling point of oxygen is 90K compared to the 77K for nitrogen, so would be expected to condense out. But the oxygen content of air is only 21% or about 159 mmHg, so that is not enough to explain the almost complete collapse.

So it is clear that most of the nitrogen itself from the air in the balloon liquifies to get the degree of collapse which is observed. The answer to why it condenses is not so clearcut. The air in the balloon is at an elevated pressure, and increasing the pressure will raise the boiling point temperature at which the gas can liquify, but that would appear to be a small effect. It seems that the main explanation comes from the fact that the air is a mixture and that the liquification of air occurs at a higher temperature than pure nitrogen gas, around 79 K at atmospheric pressure.

Star Wars Retrospective - Part VIII

Crosswords says...

A prime example of how to take so much potential and turn it into pure disappointment. I actually was able to play a trial for like a week or something, it had an initial neat factor, but that quickly wore out. Questing consisted of going to a computer, being told moisture farmer bob needed you to kill some giant bugs which meant running out to some random point in the desert. I mean this is pretty common in MMOs but at least they try to incorporate this kind of thing into a story, something to give you a greater purpose.

The worlds were pretty featureless as well, one section of a planet pretty much looked like another. And I felt the combat system was pretty clunky, in fact most everything lacked what I'd call finesse. Anyways, here's hopin they make another one and do it right.

Bill Maher Discusses Religulous on Larry King. (2008)

ElJardinero says...

Why did god create over 6.000 diseases? "Yeah mmkay.. this one will make their intestines dissolve, LOL OMG gr8 idea, self high five!"
And hello, would it have been possible to make our energy sources cleaner?

I'm looking forward to this movie. Maher can be funny, he can also be a douche.

If I could choose a jesus, it would be David Beckham ... just imagine "And then David turned mud into moisturizer and with a stroke of his hand everybody got sponsorship from Gucci"

B2 Bomber Crash video.

flechette says...

I thought it was faulty sensors?

Stolen straight from cnn's page.

"The Air Force said the first crash of a B-2 stealth bomber was caused by moisture in sensors and estimated the loss of the aircraft at $1.4 billion."
" Water distorted preflight readings in three of the plane's 24 sensors, making the aircraft's control computer force the B-2 to pitch up on takeoff, resulting in a stall and subsequent crash. Carpenter said the pilots and crew followed procedures and "the aircraft actually performed as it was designed. In other words, all the systems were functioning normally."

Should have waited for the storm to hit and solve the bee problem.

I heard somewhere that all this moisture is coming up out of the Gulf and will push off to the east and hit Altoona.
