But not H2O.... the anomalous expansion of water due to hydrogen bonding. Water expands when it freezes....

It also expands when heated, with the ultimate expansion being steam...

Me too, when people talk dirty physics

That's different... water to steam is a phase change, not an expansion..

As is water to ice.

Liquid to solid

Tbh I like it when anyone gets nerdy. It's one of my favourite things. So two nerds having a nerd battle is great for me

I have no fucking clue. I did art...

Me too. As a musician the impacts of temperature are interesting as well.

I’m a brass musician. Anyone care to guess what happens to the pitch of brass instruments in the heavy or cold?

In the cold you go flat

Fair point... touchee .. but the hydrogen bonding in water gives it two unique properties; it's a liquid at room temperature which is remarkable for its molecular weight of 18, and its solid phase is less dense than the liquid phase so ice floats rather than sinks so bodies of water don't freeze solid. All of that is pretty essential for life as we know it Jim... now let's not get started on the anthropic principle... I need a lie down in a darkened room....

It's brass monkeys in the cold

In "the heavy"? As in "A pint of heavy please pal?" ("Heavy" being Scottish beer, in case you don't know.)

I imagine it goes gurgle.

Sorry, that was a phone autocorrect s/b “heat “

Yes, it perplexes some people, they think if the metal contracts in the cold the tubing would get smaller and go sharp. They forget that it’s a tube and when the metal contracts it makes the wall thinner and thus the space in the tube larger.

 

[Saltfountain]

I'm not as stupid as I look




@Wand3rlust not a fucking word...

Nerds are hot. Especially when debating something.

Between Wiki and AI, I think we've decided willies get bigger due to bonding.

Did you know that for AI to generate an image, it uses an equivalent amount of electricity to recharge your phone?

Thank you for sharing. Really interesting!

I read it uses a lot of energy. One of the many reasons I'm not a fan tbh

Quite apart from encouraging us to be lazy, it is also inaccurate. A friend quoted that AI had been searching the internet for the last ten years, so it had a huge depth of 'knowledge'... I corrected her to 'a huge depth of inaccuracy'. I can see its benefits, but like anything man invents, it'll be used for nefarious purposes.

That was the first time in my life I've used the word nefarious... I feel grown up.
