Random Rants LX: I wish to register a complaint

[Arakhor]

Really? I don't recall getting left-handed nibs when I used a fountain pen.

I'm using nibs for calligraphy. If it were a simple point for basic handwriting, I'd be fine.

 

[Arakhor]

That would make more sense, yes.

 

[choxorn]

So is Plutonium if you have enough time.

Yeah. There are no stable isotopes, so if you wait long enough there won't be any Plutonium.

Biodegradable would imply that living things are eating it. Technically, a living thing can eat Plutonium, but that won't turn the Plutonium into something else, that just kills the thing.

 

[Takhisis]

So it doesn't jsut imply that living things eat it, but that they also degrade it.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

The living things just need to wait until it isn't plutonium any more before they try to degrade it.

well caffeine day is finally over. Got a 4 hour nap after last nights all nighter. I hope I didnt wreck my week.

I was on another forum, this kid claims he's been producing for 1.5 years. His stuff sounds better than mine, and I've been going at it for ~5. Sigh.

 

[Kennigit]

when you're tired, angry at yourself, confused at whether you should be angry at yourself, and have a little bit of work you should be doing

the best thing to do is procrastinate and stay up late on the internet


future rant may come in upcoming days, I often exhibit the personality of a brick and I don't know how to do better

So I only just analysed the nutrition info on my favorite cake, of which I eat half of at a time.

1/6 contains 47% RDA of saturated fat. So I'm eating 141% of the saturated fats I should be doing. Damn you all butter pastry with Sicilian lemon, butter and cream filling!

I think I just finally internalized a very important lesson today.

Man, I think you missed that I tried to make a joke .
I'd have tried it if it had been possible, but it wasn't.

On the other hand, I talked to another girl in whom I was interested, and told her to come to the parties. Okay, she didn't show up, and the whole evening yesterday is a rant on its own (these parties really sucked), but I've tried ^^.

I know but it seemed like you were kidding on the square. It was important in my own life to finally get that lesson in a new way—whether it was fair to use you as my pivot is another question. Yesterday was all emotions for me: was pulling a stimulant fueled all nighter to break past a mental wall in a track I've been composing and the entire experience (being music minded, being up all night, being stimmed up) had me pretty dramatic.

Props on trying.

Rant: election day!

It's still an inorganic compound, man.

 

[Arakhor]

Plutonium isn't a compound: it's an element.

 

[Takhisis]

Don't they bond together?

 

[Arakhor]

Well, it's highly radioactive and bonds well with other elements, so it forms plenty of compounds.

 

[madviking]

pretty much any element (except a few noble gasses) forms bonds with other elements.

 

[Takhisis]

But I meant single-element compounds, e.g. O₂, H₂, etc.

 

[Arakhor]

There are seven diatomic elements - Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and four of the halogens - Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine and Bromine. The mnemonic for that (other than remembering that they're all "gens") is Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer.

 

[madviking]

plutonium doesn't bond with itself. only non-metals do that.
