When someone pisses you off or rises you to anger, how do you steam it off?

I usually just walk away because most of the time when you are angry or pissed off you're not thinking clearly and so any actions you take will almost always be regretted after.

some materials can be recycled indefinitely, while others can only be recycled once. It depends on the recycling process and whether the material being recycled degrades (or not) during the process. Some materials' basic properties don't change during the process and so they can essentially be recycled an infinite number of times. Others might degrade and so after 1 or 2 times, they are essentially rendered useless.

materials like metals and clear glass can generally be recycled multiple times... but something like paper has to go through shredding, pounding, soaking and heating to be recycled and the new fibres are shorter than when they went in, so after five to seven times they are basically done.

Why am I disappointed that you gave such a reasonable answer instead of saying "Oh I just whip up a beaker full of 3-5-7-methyl-ethyl-death AND BLOW THEM TO KINGOM COME!!!"

lmfao ... you shouldn't be surprised by my answer being as I'm in essence a scientist and therefore logical... so I usually gauge a lot of my decisions based on logic.


though how fucking cool would be if I did whip up a beaker of some crazy complex and went all kamikazee on their asses.

That's right! Where's the fun in being a mad scientist if you don't get mad once in a while?

ps: Ever read Girl Genius?

no, but I just googled it and I'm going to now!

Yeah! Another convert!

Note: It's a really long, convoluted plot with a cast of thousands (well, dozens, anyway) that's been running for years, so I always wind up going back and re-reading some to straighten out plot points and such.

Calling a mathematician. Calling a mathematician.

Please settle this (see below, in order of appearance).

I was reading the words written on the insides of my eyelids and my brain thought, "who put these here?"

How do I count backwards from infinity?

Infinity minus 1, infinity minus 2...

∞-1,
∞-2,
∞-3...


​

girlsmiley had the answer and gets the credit. Not only that, she's provided me with an excuse to use one of my collection of symbolic characters that has taken a lot of effort to assemble.

hmm... but surely infinity -1 will be infinity?
then counting backwards from infinity would be:
infinity, infinity, infinity...

 

[crazychemgirl]

I'm not technically a mathematician, but I will answer to the best of my abilities..

From what I've always been taught, infinity isn't an actual real number, mearly the concept of the biggest number in the universe, and so therefore it is impossible to count down from it.


But if you were to take infinity as a mathematical number, then infinity - 1 = infinity because infinity is so big that -1 is still just as big to make the -1 insignificant.

Hope that settles things, or makes you more confused.. Either way yay math!

Have you read the Game of Thrones books.. Talk about long, convoluted plots with a cast of thousands.. Lol

Haven't read them, no, but from what I understand Game of Thrones is just a simplified version of the War of the Roses.....

You'd be like Walter White blowing up Tuco's office.

Haven't seen you around much, but I sure hope you have been well and been naughty? lol

Make that convoluted plots that seem to fizzle out rather than go anywhere, or was that just me?

Pretty much, but with dragons and ice zombies

Indeed..

But of course... Just super busy! I have 3 lab reports and 2 prelabs to do this weekend, as well as 2 quizzes, 1 problem set and an assignment... Plus readings.

Yes!!! Books 4&5 weren't as good as 1&2

Must find time to post naughty then. Picture studying in your panties lol? Why not ask

You can picture me studying in my panties, doesn't make it true.

(Just about to post a new cleavage shot to the tits thread)

I'm sure people at school would have something to say about that.

Why do leaves change colour at this time of year?

 

[crazychemgirl]

Why do leaves change colour at this time of year?

Trees respond to the decreasing amount of sunlight by producing less and less chlorophyll. Eventually, a tree stops producing chlorophyll.. Weather patterns can affect how red they get and how long they stay a certain colour.

Ah, but wby all the brilliant reds and yellows? Why not just a fade from green to the final brown?

it's the gradual loss of the chlorophyll which instigates the colour changes.... like I stated, weather factors affect how long some trees stay in one colour or another... sometimes it DOES go quickly from green to brown if there is a lot of colder weather in the beginning of fall... but if the fall drags out, that's when you tend to get more colours.

What about anthocyanin and carotenoids?

what about them.. they are in the leaves all the time, you just don't see them until the bright green fades away.
