If you say “in the stripped club straight up "jorking it" and by "it" haha well let's just say My peanits” your allonormativity is showing THE END

couldn't sleep last night?

and of course as the etymology fan i am, i have to point out that "wrought" was the original past tense of "work" before the verb got standardized. "wrought" has been repurposed for "wreak," but that's a back-formation of sorts. this isn't even the first time i've seen that happen to a verb

something else i find really interesting is *how* you lower the carbon content of iron! you can't just burn it away easily. you have to basically blow air through the molten iron, and the oxygen bonds to the carbon and makes carbon dioxide. this is called the Bessemer process

in between at 1-2% is the sweet spot for strength of the metal, and probably the most well-known iron alloy: steel. though i should note that *stainless* steel is another thing altogether, that's when chromium is added (and a lot of it, like 10-20%)

at 2-4%, you get cast iron, which has a low melting point, making it easy to cast. at around 0.05%, you get wrought iron, which is very flexible. you still want at least a little carbon for strength and rust resistance

the way i understand it, traditional smelting of iron produces pig iron, which is 4-5% carbon. then you have to remove some of the carbon to refine the iron into a more useful form, because pig iron is too brittle to be useful

TIL that "cast iron" and "wrought iron" don't just refer to the manufacturing process--they're chemically different! cast iron is a carbon alloy and wrought iron is closer to pure, though still not entirely pure

that's ... literally the same logic transphobes use to try to discourage HRT?

i think the two principles at work are (1) some people view medication as an inherently inferior solution to "finding a way to live with it," and (2) abled people need to stfu and stop telling disabled people what works

i love it when one of my students pays way more attention in my class than the others and then i run into the student a year later and they're using a different name and growing boobs

imagine if zach barth made an RCT clone. a roller coaster launches at high speed through several hairpin turns. all of the cars detach from one another as robot arms grab passengers and fling them around. when it arrives at the station, everyone is dead but they've been perfectly sorted by height

ik you're bi but i gotta say it's funny how the most wholesome hetero posts i see on bsky are all from someone with a .gay handle

bi people are better than the straights at being straight

with the introduction of spears in Minecraft a few months ago, you can now use a sword, spear, or bow, and you can ride animals and do magic. you are however not able to go insane or play as Hassan-i Sabbah. so you can still only play as five of the seven Fate classes

the second most recent crewed Moon mission ended in 1972
the most recent ended a few hours ago
we are once again a spacefaring civilization

the number of women who have flown to the Moon increased from 0 to 1
the number of PoCs who have flown to the Moon increased from 0 to 1
the number of people over 50 who have flown to the Moon increased from 0 to 1
the number of non-Americans who have flown to the Moon increased from 0 to 1

today, the number of people living on this planet who have flown to the Moon increased from 5 to 9

living humans who have been to the Moon: buzz aldrin, fred haise, david scott, charles duke, harrison schmitt, **reid weisman, victor glover, christina koch, jeremy hansen**

... isn't it just a fact of life that trans women categorically get hotter over time?

i assume you'll post a price sheet and TOS at that time? as a fellow space-enjoying enby i'd love to get a drawing or two of my Alien Form doing Alien Things

Zero escape is on a massive sale with the entire series under 5$ on steam
Please consider it heavily

i'm sorry what

when the cute couple in the next booth at the diner is definitely t4t but you can't just walk up to them like "hey you look clocky are you free this weekend" especially because they're almost surely college students and you're a prof

And finally... the Nintendo Wii U Classic GameCube Controller Remote Pad-chuck Plus Pro!
