@Aradia also a good day to play bumper cars!
whether you want to or not
re: Pet death; explicit mention, read forewarning, I'm serious
@makyo And she was not alone. That's the final gift we can give them, at the end. To take the pain, and be there with them when they go.
She needed you, and you were there.
re: Pet death
@makyo I'd hoped the vet visit had went better than that for you both. I'm sorry. Losing the fuzzbutts never gets easier. :/
@zebratron2084 oh by the *disputed thing
is that "Empress (disputed) of Mars"
or "Empress of Mars (existence of planet disputed"
:D
@zebratron2084 @Soreth *bow*
@zebratron2084 @Soreth technically I could have saved her as we were in the car with the radio on. I heard it begin and went FUCK and she was ???
So I turned it up instead :D
@ceralor I've been using Subway Tooter
disturbing victorian-era christmas image, santa taking away unwilling child
@Soreth Children are naughty or nice
Those that break the Christmas Law and manage to be neither are Gone.
Where do you think elves come from?
re: Chemistry, FOOF, WHAT
@Phorm Also note the "at room temperature" part. Considering most experiments with FOOF were done at like -180 and it STILL EXPLODED..
re: Chemistry, FOOF, WHAT
@Phorm The scientist working on this was a Manhattan Project alumnus apparently, so used to working with Very Dubious Materials. And granted any time your end result is UF6 things are going to be Spicy.
But even still aaaaaaaarg. No.
Chemistry, FOOF, WHAT
So you might be familar with the horrible, horrible chemical FOOF. That's it's chemical structure not a nickname.
If you're not I highly recommend reading this, it's hilarious. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-t-work-dioxygen-difluoride
Anyway! I discovered today that there is actually a use for this chemical that burns pretty much everything including itself and explodes if you look at it funny.
You react it it with radioactive waste.
"..Asprey discovered that FOOF could recover elements like plutonium and uranium from nuclear fuel waste, in which the radioactive elements exist as oxides. FOOF does this by transforming them to hexafluorides at room temperature. The hexafluorides can then be fed back into the nuclear fuel cycle..."

I'll be over there. Waaaay over there.
re: Town of Us satisfaction
I got to top this the other night :D
So Town of Us updated recently and added among other things the Grenadier imposter. Basically they throw flashbangs.
Once again the Sheriff. Four of us are near each other when a flashbang goes off. I immediately start dashing around randomly mashing the kill button.
Somehow between the imposter and me, NO ONE dies. In the next meeting I out myself as the Sheriff and, cackling slightly, inform the crew that "If you come near me I WILL SHOOT YOU."
Because being the Sheriff puts a target on my head. And lo, very next round someone role passes me and doubles back to go for the kill. I shoot first, they die. Scratch the serial killer.
At the end of the round several of us are once again clustered in a single room. Again flashbang. My screen goes white as I mash the kill button. The imposter, unaffected by the grenade, runs up to kill me...
...and dies to random murder-flailing.
@Phorm also huh TIL Pyrex stopped using borosilicate a while back and they're just tempered glass now
@Phorm Did you happen to purchase boomosilicate accidentally?
Seriously though eep. hoping it was empty
Fun fact: Corgis are actually the remnants of an old space program. The unused leg length for each dog is conserved for the next generation.
The goal was to then crossbreed them with a manned wolf, releasing all the many generations of stored leg length at once to produce a dog that could simply stand up to reach the Moon.
@Soreth the headache is from a basilisk that this particular configuration causes when viewed this way, preventing testimony.
So he's being framed for theft of teapot clearly.
That doephin (Phoenix-D) you might know. Sometimes NFSW but always tagged when so. More of that over at doephinad@dragon.style
