Out Of All The Moral Lessons In Kid's Books, Cartoons, Etc., I Didn't Think The Whole "you Have To Fight

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Computers shouldn't have apps. Computers have applications. Short word for small phone big word for big glow box

I'm making a cloak for myself but the hood looks way too good on my bee friend 🥺

time to see if the seregios and bloodbath diablos that power my pc like two angry hamsters on a hamster wheel can run wilds

Wordplay Wednesday: Metal

Today we are going to talk about the word metal. Now, this may seem silly, if I say the word metal, I bet a few come to mind: gold,

silver,

iron,

but what makes something a metal?

 A metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals can be chemical elements like the ones I mentioned earlier, alloys like brass

or steel

or a molecular compound like silver nitrate.

Most metals have a shiny, metallic luster when polished or fractured and most are opaque. Metals tend to be more dense than nonmetals but that density varies widely between different types.

There are several groups of metals. Alkali metals are highly reactive metals with low melting points and are so soft they can be cut with a knife. These includes Lithium, sodium and potassium.

Alkaline earth metals are a little less reactive, harder and have a higher melting point than alkali metals. Due to their reactivity, they seldom appear in their pure form. Metals in this group include calcium, barium and magnesium.

Transition metals are what we traditionally think of as metals. They are hard, strong, shiny and easy to shape. This group includes gold, iron, and platinum.

Post-transition metals are fairly soft with low boiling points. This group includes aluminum, tin and bismuth.

Finally, we have noble metals. This group is pure and nonreactive so they don’t form compounds. This makes them perfect for jewelry and coins. This group includes copper, silver and rhodium. (You'll notice those are all transition metals).

Tune in tomorrow to learn about a chemist who made a huge difference in being able to categorize metals and their neighbors. Fossilize you later!

these are some boundary break worthy photos

some pictures from when i fell to the bottom of the water in the Scarlet Forest the other day!! 😳😳shortly after that i fell through the world!! yippie!!

I think about this post so often. Here it is again for the few of you that see my reblogs. Remember that there's always one thing you can do, even if it's planning for the future:)

i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)

Insect Glaive is my favorite fucking weapon in Monster Hunter. Just beating dragons to death with a stick and this cool bug I found.

Plus I get to make cool helicopter sounds with my mouth and it isn't even weird.

there are worms out there you wouldnt even believe
