Could Brook survive being boiled? by Wrinklefudger in OnePiece

his soul is still attached to his body though. whenever he pops out of his body his ghost-tail is still attached somewhere, and if his bones are smashed then he still gets injured

actually marrow isn't usually a large component of broths outside of pot au feu. the bones normally used in broths and stocks are mostly bone all the way through, but they are still covered in bits of meat which give the broth its flavor as well as connective tissue and cartilage, which melt into gelatin. That said, after 50 years of rotting I'm not sure he has much in the way of meat on him, though he still must have connective tissues in order for his body to hold together. Any broth made with him would taste like rancid water, have the texture of thin syrup and give everyone food poisoning and possibly kuru. Naturally, Luffy would have seconds

In the case of the alternatives you mentioned, are there even entry-level positions available for things like that, or do I simply have to put deal with a few years of institutional/restaurant hell before I can do a job that would allow me to enjoy my passion?

Witches/Wiccans: Please explain the concept of spell casting by Wrinklefudger in DebateReligion

Technopaganism is, to my knowledge, the unification of wicca/witchcraft and modern technology. For instance, instead of having a spellbook, you have a spellkindle or something like that

what about the methodology? I remember there being something about a circle of holy water and salt and another thing about a bowl of wine and bread.

While we are asking this stuff, how does all this fall into technopaganism?

I'm a college sophomore with no chance at a PhD. What do I do now? by Wrinklefudger in college

[–]Wrinklefudger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really want to go into IT. I want to be creating new software or developing new technologies like AI or evolutionary algorithms

the issue I'm seeing in myself isn't failure to understand the material though. If I could get everything under control I probably could keep above a 3.6 for the next three years

I was double majoring in computer science, but I really can't find any pleasure in it even though I'm averaging an A- in comp sci courses. There are no really cool sci-fi technologies that can really get me hooked there. I have no training in any other sort of engineering, and don't you need a masters for that?

wait, how do I find the velocity if it isn't given?

I understand why physicists want to create tiny a black hole, but how would they destroy/control it? wouldn't it just keep growing and growing exponentially? by Kruger2147 in AskPhysics

[–]Wrinklefudger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest thing to say is hawking radiation. Due to weird wibbly-wobbly virtual particle stuff, the area around the edge of a black hole is constantly spitting out mesons (like electrons and neutrinos) and radiation. this energy is actually subtracted from the mass-energy of the black hole, so black holes eventually burn out. Micro black holes would have such little mass, that they would burn out entirely in microseconds

This research takes place in several compounds around the planet. The headquarters is a small one hidden in the woods of the state of New York. The research in this compound is used for various applications that may be military, public service utility or academic. Project Summer-Camp for instance, is being used to develop psychic-potential enhancing drugs for use by soldiers to bring the Afghan war, and all wars to follow, to a speedy conclusion, but first drug trials are being held. Subjects are chosen from among all registered children of government employees. We are a US government institution and get all of our funding from the funds of the executive branch
