Like Clorox & Draino? Boom!

Now how would I know that? I like to experiment!

 

[rjr_1954]

How about charcoal, saltpeter & flint or a lit match?

I like to experiment!

 

[rjr_1954]

Or maybe Uranium-235 & Plutonium-239 smack them around, watch your world disappear.

I like to experiment!

 

[rjr_1954]

I'm going out for awhile, before the feds find me!

So what do you think about finding DNA and RNA bases in meteorites?

I love space and I think it’s super interesting all that we find

Uhm… sure!

Ok then

I've been following this. Just me, but I think it means, we are not that special. The things we once thought were unique to humans, earth and even our solor system, are turning up every where we look. The answers we find, will only lead to questions we never knew to ask. It has the feeling of new and ground breaking discoveries are always around the next corner. Its an exciting time to be alive.

Everyday is a good day to be alive.

(Directed at CCG)>> Do you think that there is a chance that the vast majority of human beings will do something reasonable to slow climate warming?

Unfortunately I do not …. Not until corporations aren’t in charge … cuz at the end of the day climate change is wrapped into greed and our society’s need for “stuff” … a girl in a video I watched recently about the harm of electric vehicle batteries (because of rare earth minerals).. she said everything we touch on a day to day basis comes from fossil fuels. You can’t function in society without a complete reliance on petrochemicals.

There's a transition in progress. And it's slow but many things are going in a positive direction. True enough that most energy is going to be fossil fuel based for quite a while, and that rare earth, etc. mines can be disasters, but there are some shining lights out there. There are also some black eyes.

yea it's hard to say ... I don't know that we'll figure shit out before we ruin it.

I hope you're wrong, but will prepare for you to be correct.

Otherwise, how do you feel about International Beaver Day?

Personally, I've always been fond of beaver.

@crazychemgirl
I'm yellow color blind. Who else has a problem like this?

The beaver is proud and majestic animal indeed.

Uhm… probably lots of people? …

Nature's best hydraulic engineers for sure. And, their fur makes a damn fine winter hat. My current heavy duty winter headgear is a full unsheared beaver hat that I typically wear dog-musher style when out on the snowmachine. I still have my old hat, but it was only a half-beaver that I got from Sara in Kotzebue back in the '80's.

Full beaver or half beaver?

Unsheared of course, right?

Decisions decisions. All beaver is good whether unsheared or sheared.

I learned from American Pickers that the best cowboy hats were made from Beaver felt.

Made a lot of sense after I wrapped my head around the idea.

A perfect material for the purpose really.

Happy Friday people of lit! Any questions burning your brain?

That would imply that I had a brain.

How is blood sugar defined in a blood test?
I have a A1c of 7, how is this discovered in the test.

It’s testing for glucose

Bring on all your science!

Might be time to bone-up on methane hydrates.

Why do rockets ice up when sitting on the pad? And why doesn’t the ice degrade their early acceleration? And why haven’t they figured out how to stop rockets from icing up?

I thought about all this when watching the rocket test last week.
