About

I listen to music. A lot of music.
I do chemistry. Slightly less frequently than I listen to music.
I slack on KYM. When I’m not doing chemistry.

Weekly Workshop: North Korea

Honestly, I think that North Korea as a similar entry tag will suffice. It doesn’t really deserve an entry. And I agree with RM’s post; if an NK entry were to be created, it would be hard to draw the line. Because next would come the US. Then Japan. Then the UK. Etc.

KYM Workshop: #princeso

Just for clarification, calling a guy “princeso” in Spanish is about the equivalent of calling a guy a “queen” in English.

Fertilizer Plant Explosion near Waco Texas

The explosion happened at a fertilizer plant, which means that extremely toxic chemicals are now being dispersed throughout the area. People are being evacuated from the area now. Law enforcement is advising residents to leave town immediately -- West (TX) ISD (@WestISD) April 18, 2013 I would not want to be anywhere in central Texas right now…well, much less so than usual, at any rate. And today has been one of the shittiest news days in a long time.

Boston Marathon Explosion

You can’t get F2 gas. You just can’t, unless you’re a research lab. There are so, so many easier ways of making explosives that don’t involve toxic gases. So, as a chemist, I’m saying that there is no way that those were O2F2 bombs.

Everyone but me is posting from the future

This happened to me when I got my computer repaired on January 4th. The repair guy accidentally set the motherboard clock to April 1st. It screwed a ton of things up.

Gravity Gun or Portal Gun?

Re BSOD: Magnets do not affect gravitational forces. In any way. They’re two separate fundamental forces, and magnetism (electromagnetism, really) is powerful, while gravitation is actually quite weak. Also you can screw with the game config to make the gravity gun able to pick up anything. And finally, how exactly does a magnet gun bring down buildings? That are presumably made of wood and/or masonry? Which are non-magnetizable materials? (nofunallowed.jpg)

Sitting is deadly?

One of my tenets of life: CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION For christ’s sake, once people realize that, pe- Oh, who am I kidding. Media hype will win out every time.

Margaret Thatcher Dead at 87

A lot of people did, because she forced a ton of coal mines in the North to close, which made thousands unemployed. Also people didn’t like her because of the Falkland shit.
