Anonymouswizard's Random Banter #227 and Free Cup of Tea

Do you mean this study? Two samples match polar bear DNA, one serrow. Not that polar bears in the Himalayas are any less odd than yetis...

There are multiple studies, I might have to double-check my sources.

The Poral Bear one is probably a hoax though: Despite pop-culture depicting them with white fur, actual 'sightings' universally describe the creature with red fur.

My demon slaying workout sessions have led to me listening to a lot more music, and given my taste in music this tends to have lead to listening to covers of anime songs.

It's really cool seeing all the different ways people choose to localize these songs... and astounding that some people are just terrible at word choice sometimes!

Well maybe it was just covered in snow, Also ape-men come in many colors.

Then why did I exhale it when studying organic chemistry? Checkmate, chemist. This is doubly funny because I believe I just called you a pharmacist.

[SZbNAhL]

How appropriate, you fight like a colloid. I may find this joke less funny when it isn't 4 AM.

[Peelee]

All I'm saying is, carbon is carbon, and oxygen has, like, a bunch of protons, and everyone knows that hydrogen is a proton. So, for carbon dioxide, if we just sub in some hydrogens for one of the oxygens (since I just showed they're interchangeable, QED), and if we keep to the carbon bonding rules, that leaves us one carbon, one oxygen, and enough hydrogen to fill out the structural diagram, and we end up with methanol. Now, we still have 8 hydrogen ions left over from this, so we can go ahead and slap 6 together to form another carbon, and bam, we got us some methylene.

Thus, I have conclusively proven that carbon dioxide is not only organic, but is in fact doubly organic. As they say in the chemistry department, BOOYAKASHA!

This can stop here and now if you simply accept that I can science badly with far more finesse than you can science goodly. I also English great.

Now, we still have 12 hydrogen ions left over from this, so we can go ahead and slap 6 together, that'll get us methane, and the remaining two we can call helium, why not.

So, I have conclusively proven that carbon dioxide is not only organic, but is in fact doubly organic, and also will make your voice sound funny (that parts not organic, but few people care about shoehorning it into conversation since it's always funny. It's like a Monty Python skit that way - it doesn't ever come up organically, but nobody minds).

No, it will stop becuase if you people don't stop arguing about science, I shall say "Ni" at you until you do.

[Peelee]

I actually messed up my math there. It must have been all the helium I was inhaling. Anyway, it's fixed now.

[factotum]

No, it will stop becuase if you people don't stop arguing about science, I shall say "Ni" at you until you do.

But didn't you just say "it", which is the one word you cannot hear?

When I was a small child, I stole some carob-flavored bulk dog-treats from the pet store and ate them myself.

They were actually really good.

I don't know why I'm sharing this now.

The statue of limitations has expired on your crime as far as the physical world is concerned, but your soul will never recover from "enjoyed dog food".

Good luck Enderlord, stay strong in these trying times.

[Peelee]

The statue of limitations has expired on your crime

Maybe it should have been built out of better materials.

I'm sorry I read the last page of this thread and just started laughing.. I wish I contribute but this is to great for my cursed hands to touch.

[Rater202]

I just realy like exploring mystical settings, figuring out what the rules are, and trying to figure out how many differant concepts you can stretch out of something.

Currently, I'm wondering if a Light Side Force Walker(a concept from Star Wars Legends, introduced in The Old Republic. Basically, some people are born with power over various types of Ghosts becuase they're a living connection between the living and dead parts of the Force. This gives them various powers) who learned the secrets of immortality(Light Side Force Ghosts, becoming one with the Force while remaining distinct from it and able to influence the world and manifest yourself) could result in someone being able to materialize their body after death to create true immortality.

I'm also wondering how far you could stretch the "apply the forms and concepts of one Bending style to improve another" thing from Avatar, which created the Lighting redirection technique.

But in general, I just like trying to figure out the rules of settings that clearly have them and give you something to work on but don't have all the rules explained.

Well, Not had a PC shutdown since Thursday morning (touch wood) and it's been on constantly since then - notably after I changed the plug socket on the surge supressor. It's only crashed three time since midday last Monday, too (we've been logging it).

Think it seems like it's worth getting a new surge suppressor at this point.

That might be a good thing, since I'm beginning to suspect I broke SZbNAhL.

I don't know what you mean. I totally never* shared a bag of chocolate flavored dog treats with my dog.

*never in this sentence has the context of "every second weekend". XD

...Isn't chocolate toxic for dogs? Or is that the joke?

[Peelee]

Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Chocolate flavored things may not be.

[Asmotherion]

...Isn't chocolate toxic for dogs? Or is that the joke?

Yeah, it's actually carob. It just tastes so similar to chocolate, I jokingly call it "dog chocolate" XD

I guess if both you and your dog enjoyed them, it can be a fine bonding activity?

[Bartmanhomer]

I'm at a Youtube War against a bully subscribers. My Youtube friends call out on the bully behavior for bully a teenager. Chaotic Good (Bullystopper) is on the go.

[Asmotherion]

Oh, it was. I had him since I was 10. A little puppy furball. He was part of the family... like a best pal you can tell everything, and somehow feel he understands you, and shows compasion... like, he really knows what you're talking about, you know what I mean?

Alas dogs don't live as long as we do, and it's been 4 years since he's gone.

[Anti-Eagle]

Does anyone else here like lapsang souchong? I've been rather enjoying it lately.

[BisectedBrioche]

The tea? When I'm in the mood for it.

It's like drinking barbecue sauce.

[Lacco]

Does anyone else here like lapsang souchong? I've been rather enjoying it lately.

Nope. Still Earl Grey, all the day.

[Anonymouswizard]

Does anyone else here like lapsang souchong?

No, I feel like a quarter demon

Could go for some Oolong though.


I guess my needle dislike has it's ups and downs. On the one hand I'm unlikely to take several dangerous substances, on the other I get nervous at antibody tests.

My arm still stings a little.

[sktarq]

I adore it.

I like many teas but a good lapsang souchong is probably my favorite...Then again I also prefer my whiskey peat fired...so I may just like smoke.

[Rater202]

I prefer herbal blends. apple cinnamon, there's a couple of chamomile and mint based blends I care for.

Though, I'm also quite fond of Chai.

Ain't nothing like I nice warm fragrant cop of tea when you're having trouble sleeping or having a spell of anxiety.

Ooh, I love the bullystopper archetype
