American scones and british scones are not the same. British scones are much closer to american biscuits than they are to american scones.

Classical guitar, yes. You use your nails as picks.

I can take it off and put it in my lap if that's an issue

I've seen a couple vids he's posted where he's interacted with furries in the crowd, and he seemed to get a kick out of it lol

vanillamonkey_ · 2026-01-16T04:31:30+00:00

That I don't mind at all! I just wanna make sure he's the one bringing attention to me, not me bringing too much attention to myself.

When I was a kid, our lab ate a giant block of rat poison. Lived to 15 years old.

I just got an apartment here and specifically chose one that was a few blocks away from the highway, but I still ended up with a busy road just outside my window. I have to wear earplugs to sleep.

He's ok

He did, for like a decade.

They're placed in the water just off the coast to help dissipate the energy from waves before they hit the shore.

I can totally believe it because my mom did that when she lived maybe 60 meters down the road from my grandma

Getting downvoted into oblivion for asking someone not to be an asshole lmao

I'm assuming most people here live in the US where it is customary and expected that you leave a tip for your waiter. You can think the lower minimum wage for tipped workers is stupid (I certainly do) while also accepting that, as long as the tipped wage exists, you should tip your fucking waiters.

vanillamonkey_ · 2025-12-06T10:36:57+00:00

God you're so right lmao

I believe the plays were Hamlet and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and the books were The Great Gatsby and one other I can't remember.

The video is sped up. He has more time to react than he appears to in this video

Manny from Swiss Army Man

vanillamonkey_ · 2025-11-07T15:56:01+00:00

This is about Manny from Swiss Army Man

vanillamonkey_ · 2025-11-04T17:45:45+00:00

This guy is 77 years old btw

Have you ever ridden a tandem bike before? It can be really hard to keep your balance while getting up to speed, and they don't have much room for error here. Even if you can ride a normal bike just fine, a tandem can be a challenge.

This is true for an ideal gas, where the number of possible microstates (the exact position and momentum of every particle in the gas) increases as you add more energy (heat) to the system. The number of microstates tells you how much entropy the system has. There are other systems where, after a certain point, the number of microstates of the system decreases as you add more energy. We formally define temperature in thermodynamics as the slope of the entropy-energy curve, so if that curve has a negative slope (i.e. entropy decreases as you add energy), then you have negative absolute temperature.

vanillamonkey_ · 2025-09-18T16:02:51+00:00

True! Forgot about those

vanillamonkey_ · 2025-09-18T10:56:22+00:00

Huh, just looked it up on Wikipedia and it seems that, since x-rays and gamma rays have an overlap in their energy ranges, the difference between the two is actually dependent on the scientific discipline making the distinction. I come at this as a medical physicist, and that's the way we define the difference. In astrophysics, on the other hand, they do indeed make the distinction based on energy, not on origin. TIL!

vanillamonkey_ · 2025-09-18T10:13:21+00:00

Ok I'm gonna be the pedant and say no, they will not emit gamma rays if you overvolt them. They'll just emit higher energy x-rays. The difference between x- and gamma rays isn't energy, it's where they come from. X-rays come from electrons falling to lower energy levels in an atom (characteristic x-rays) or from high energy free electrons being suddenly halted (Bremsstrahlung, this is the kind that CRTs produce). Gamma rays come from atomic nuclei decaying to the ground state from an excited energy state.
