@xgranade @SRLevine Thought you two would enjoy this April Fools

Am I allowed to feel good for fixing SO MANY bugs today if I'm also the one who MADE the bugs?

#RealTimeChem #Programming

I am outside for the first time since Thursday, getting some sushi for lunch

@foone Do you often get games checking for this and introducing errors? I know CRPG Addict has had issues with cracked games where they would introduce problems if you bypassed the copy protection in the most obvious way

@Fragglemuppet I saw recently by a metafilter that someone had made a playlist entirely consisting of songs named Personal Jesus (and many, many covers of those songs)

@mekkaokereke I remember my Dad watching a documentary about the Tuskegee airman in WWII! They had some interviews with the survivors, it was really cool.

@cwebber wait what

@mekkaokereke In BC they put out news articles every season on how we have messed up the forests for the last 100 years by putting EVERY fire out, leading to really bad fuel build up.

@mekkaokereke Ok, that is a REALLY cool truck

@xgranade Ahhh, I didn't see that, I saw you posting jokes following up on @BestGirlGrace 's joke

@xgranade This made me think of you as you were posting bigO jokes today: https://xkcd.com/3026/

@xgranade no idea what you're talking about, but I'm going to pretend that you're talking about the owl from Animal Crossing as that makes me smile

@xgranade I mean wasn't 1988 the height of the Japanese boom economy? I think the appearance of the scary Japanese corporation in Die Hard was not a coincidence

@xgranade ??? Isn't Due Hard a late 80s movies? It do you mean one of the sequels?

@xgranade

Only if you hold it there! I mean, my Mom let us use beeswax candles for Ukrainian Easter eggs when I was a little kid, it's pretty hard to burn yourself.

AND since I've got the video handy: Lesson one you learn when doing glassblowing: Toching fire

(I miss doing this SO MUCH. It feels warm and wet and nice)

@xgranade @rockario Now I'm trying to figure out if kink or hair removal

@xgranade ahhhh. See I'm thinking of fire as a day to day that people encounter day to day, and a candle flame is multiple J, like it wouldn't take long to raise a mL of water by 1 degree at all, and no one would say a candle is a lot.

@xgranade so I just went over my shelf and discovered that I did not keep any of the textbooks that would be useful for double checking my memory with regards to units and amounts of energy.

so the only textbook I currently own with that sort of information is my grandfather's that he used when he was a teacher XD

It did confirm I remember my energy is correctly, and it's not like they've changed since 1969 XD

@xgranade not sure how you're defining a lot then, because that's very little energy from a chemistry perspective? Like even for one bond. C-H is about 100 kcal, C-C ~80 kcal.

1 cal is a little over 4 J

so C-H is on the order of 400,000 J

@xgranade So I've done reactions relating on the 800 kJ range.... (Al + Fe2O3 -> Al2O3)

Which to be fair is a lot of energy but not like a terrifying amount.

17 J is only enough to raise the temperature of 1g water by a little under 1°C.

are you sure you're not missing a prefix there?
