I signed up for AP Chem in HS, because I loved math and did great in AP Physics.

It was a disaster.

The teacher was this creepy man who ignored my questions. All the students in the class had outside tutors and my mom was like "if you think you need a tutor take the regular science class" -- I could not make heads or tails of the homework. I lasted two weeks then transferred to Statistics and got teased all year for taking two math classes. (I would have cheerfully taken 3)

Since metal can oxidize it can burn. Really most metals (all? I'm not a chemist... help) will burn if you just cut them up so there is enough surface area for the level of ambient O2 to keep the burning reaction self sustaining.

Maybe I should really learn the chemistry a little after all these years.

Do they look like a black version of the ant in this video? She is a carpenter ant— that’s their size and general shape. Still would help to know your region.

If they don't hold Trump accountable for any of the election steal stuff, then it's time for a free-for all.

Everyone can send electors to DC for the elections. Let's have 3 different congresses. If there is not accountability the only option left is to try to win by breaking *more* rules.

It'd be a terrible mess. Let's not do it. (hopefully)

FYI for the people who like the bug stories:

The cartoon above is really not that dark (i thought it was cute) and has ... *isopod* do look at it.

"I'm still not seeing what the army has to do with picking a candidate to visit the Ant Planet."

Hershel was getting frustrated again. He took a deep breath.

"Listen. If the ants have armies that's the kind of thing that the Pentagon finds ... very alarming. They would much rather have someone go who can asses the size of their forces, who can give the proper sort of perspective."

"Like a spy?"

"God no."

"So I can't be a spy?"

"No. No spies."

"Are they going to say I can't go?"

cats come out from under the bed, like some guy coming out of a utility closet in your office out of no where but playing it off as if it's perfectly normal

Oh God. Moose are just so huge. People can tell you how huge they are, but until you see one you don't really "get" it.

I would have simply died, I think.

Looks like some wheels are turning here:

Getting (more) real design people on it could make this into something -- galvanizing.

That's the big design challenge for a fediverse logo-- it needs to make all of these fractious weirdos look at and go "Yeah!! That's US!"

(I don't mind the triangle idea I linked, but I also don't think it's "there" yet at all... and I'm NOT a designer. )

Unless?
