I always love how the brass section just at best covers one ear but otherwise ignores the hammer, while the woodwind section flinches.

That's because brass players are used to hearing a disaster occurring very close by.

Looking back, this thread has been going strong for over 18 months, has a solid 5 rating, and every time I see new posts in the thread it makes me happy. Keep having fun, everyone, we've got a great thing going. Maybe someday the guy who keeps asking Google Groups whether anything would burn hotter than an octaoxygen-dicyanoacetylene fire (hypothesized temperature over 9400°F) will get his answer.

Gobbeldygook posted:No. The German who discovered it was this guy, Thomas Klapotke, who goes to work like this.

What state would N60 take? If it wasn't exploding I mean, gritty powder that explodes with the force of a thousand suns if you look at it funny? Angry liquid of doom that EWTFOATSIYLAIF? Deadly gas cloud of doom that you know the rest?

Angry liquid of doom that EWTFOATSIYLAIF? Deadly gas cloud of doom that you know the rest? Anyone fancy sticking the numbers in SIMPOL or does it just not deal with that? It's large enough that I think it is unlikely to be a gas at STP. [edit] How long would it remain at STP though is another way to phrase the much asked question ITT.

Hexadecanitro is 16 nitro groups. Hexadecaazabuckminsterfullerene is a soccer ball made of 16 nitrogen atoms. Hexecontaazabuckminsterfullerene is the full 60.

That article has metastatised across the board this last day. In one of the other threads someone said:Irradiation posted:This was caused by a bureaucratic gently caress up. There's a line the original document that says "an organic absorbent" should be used meaning something that can absorb organic material. The inorganic clay worked well but some idiot who knew nothing about the actual chemical reasoning read it and said WE NEED TO SWITCH TO AN ORGANIC BASED ABSORBENT ACCORDING TO THIS SENTENCE because putting organic material and nitrates together with heat is not the stupidest loving idea ever.
