You call car trunks “boots” which is silly because cars don’t have feet Also maybe it’s not a Brit word it’s just a word brits spell wrong.

maybe modern cursed words: covfefe bigly yuge or modern overused terms: problematic, “end of the day”, blurb or modern underused words: zomboid, bingeable, hangry or computer terms that used to see widespread use but for one reason or another are simply being replaced or dropped altogether: master/slave, evil bit, lp0 on fire, pc load letter

Speaking of super chill chemicals, did you know that aluminium mainly resides in oxidation state 3+? It's the only state in which it is colorless, too, others react more often and are thus chemically unstable. The melting point is at 933K which is rather medium for a metal of similar atomic size and structure, although it's worth noting that only isotope 27Al is physically stable, all other isotopes are radioactive, so beware! |

stay safe alnilam, most isotopes have a half-life of less than an hour! Also it can react with acidic chemicals contained in most fruits, so I have to figure out how to pack up my super tasty sandwich that I just made because aluminium is not an option here

hamjobs posted:kitchen paper and a bit of tape or heck just wet a bit of the paper and stick the edges together, then put it inside a paper bag. kitchen paper and tape seems to be the solution for most sandwich places except for the one down the street that uses styrofoam and when they put the hot fries directly on the container without putting paper in between then it partially melts through the bottom and I just consider styrofoam fries to be inedible. (maybe they’re safe, maybe not, but I would prefer to eat as little plastic as possible)

I did use paper and it worked out great and also still tasted like that. Thanks! In other news, my heater went down last night so it got very cold in my home, but I started to light up candles and this not only made it a bit warmer, it also looked quite mystery and fun. Candles are good |

You know how on Wheel of Fortune they grey out the letters that have been called. I'm picturing JB in front of a gigantic board with every word written on it and he's crossing them off one by one as he reads each post.
