@Rosemary how to tell who at the party is *really* committed to having a good time :p

Suddenly again interested in learning how to DJ, for reasons of "wait, x is actually really dancable?"

@kobold beep boop?

@bea but with atoms.

@bea NOW KISS.

@bea what the fuck :D

@bea ...isn't that... how it always works?

@Felthry see followup post; I meant neutrons :/

@KawaSeadrake FLUFFIEST DRAGON.

Wait, crap, that should read "Neutrons" not "Neutrinos".

I feel like "100 billion kelvin" is probably so hot that our normal understanding of what temperature is doesn't really apply anymore.

Okay making this joke prompted me to re-read the wikipedia page, and there's something new to me:

The initial temperature of a neutron star is ~100 BILLION kelvin. It rapidly cools down with the energy going into a preposterous outflux of neutrinos. A lot of the energy of a released by a supernova is those neutrinos interacting with and heating the surrounding gas.

Woah!

@CoronaCoreanici I'm proud of myself!

Serious answer from me, from about a year ago: when I dropped out of the application process for the union electrician apprenticeship because I was feeling hurt and frustrated and didn't want to ask for any more time off of my job (which I quit like a month and a half later).

Open question time!

What's a mistake you made, even though by all rights you really did know better than to make it?

After someone mentioned that the word "axolotl" is from Nahuatl (obvious in hindsight), I have a hard time mentally pronouncing the first consonant as "ks" and not ʃ.

Stellar core collapse supernova but every time a fusable element runs out it gets faster.
