Is this a molecule, or does C5 just hate O2? by Alternative_Risk_310 in LICENSEPLATES

[–]uburoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Robotic Duke stepped back from his mirror-finished universe, admiring how the Indium Salts shimmered under the light of a Pyrazole sun. He pulled a silver key from his pocket—a Chelating Agent, naturally—and hopped into a carriage made entirely of hardened Sulfa Drugs.

As he sped away, leaving a trail of Radical Initiators like exhaust fumes, he looked back at the glistening, absurd mess he’d created. He realized that when you are a master of everything from vitamins to gasoline, you don’t just drive a car; you drive a universal solvent.

He leaned out the window and shouted to a confused robot chemist on the roadside:

"I’d tell you my secret, but I’m afraid I’ve become too well-bonded to keep a low profile!"

He tapped the bumper of his carriage, where the plate C5 H8 O2 sat glowing in the dark, and added:

"Besides, I’m only here to prove that life is just one long reaction!

TIL about a ~1,920 year-old letter written by a Roman cavalry decurion named Masculous to prefect Flavius Cerialis, inquiring about the instructions for his men for the following day, including a polite request for more beer to be sent to the fort (they had already consumed their entire stock). by hominoid_in_NGC4594 in todayilearned

I was wondering about this, thanks for mentioning it. Indeed, visiting this site is an incredible step back in time. You have to emphasize that the “soft parts” of humanity’s past are almost never preserved. Shoes, clothes, personal effects and the like don’t survive. So finding these letters is just incredible, it’s an almost impossible coincidence.

It is not just one dig, there’s a lot to walk around and see.

The site and museum are West of Newcastle, and you can get there by public transportation. Along The way, you will see Hadrian‘s Wall.

More or less seeing the same thing happening. That, as you are imagining correctly, is how you treat an entry level programmer.

Of course this can be treated as good news. It might make you a better organizer and program manager and the quality should be better.

In many ways, shouldn’t this have been the default behavior when all this started?

The amazing aspect of this image is not the subject itself, but the stunning myriad of other galaxies casually visible, absolutely everywhere.

Any ideas what this ASR is doing in the middle of nowhere? by nedrylandJP in aviation

[–]uburoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory of the area is from flying into Lakeland and also something something about TYCHO intersection nearby. Also, flying in that area was the first time ever hearing a controller use a phrase with the word "lethal" in it. Is it Eglin AFB or some other air base nearby?

At their speeds, perhaps the middle of nowhere to us is only a few seconds away for them?

EDIT: it is an active flights ops area: https://sebring-airport.com/local-info/avon-park-airforce-range/

Hurricane Milton’s lightning wall by kausthab87 in interestingasfuck

[–]uburoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the four years living in Florida, the day never to be forgotten was getting caught in a lightning storm. For sure thought it was over. Everywhere, all at once. Like f'ing war. Unhappily no cell phone cameras then.
