Basically, Firefox only crushes a handful of elderly cats while everyone else crushes kittens by the shipload.

Shh shh shh, don’t give them ideas.

LPT: find a plausible excuse to leave gatherings in a way that seems outside your control. This gives you an exit without seeming impolite. Between my parents, if one starts asking about the dogs, that’s their cue to start leaving. If they leave because “they need to take care of the dogs,” the hosts won’t have to know whether that means “we’d have loved to stay here but unfortunately, duty calls” or “we’d rather be spending time with our dogs than you guys.”

What’s weirder is that muons turned out to be INCREDIBLY cute.

They almost have “mew” in the name, it’s like a kitten! 😻

Would ride if it was a rollercoaster.

Fun fact, you can have a completely different game now by changing the language of the notation.

According to that article, someone tried reacting it with just about anything he could find in the lab, and if it weren’t for the fact that it’s documented in a published paper, one could never be convinced that those experiments are the work of anyone other than a completely deranged scientist. The author of this article claims to have run out of expletives before finishing the second page.

Also stated in this article, and converted for your convenience, reacting FOOF with H₂S will yield about 1.8 MJ/mol of excess thermal energy.

Most chemists, when you say “fill a reactor vessel at 700 °C with 300 torr of oxygen” and they notice a tank of fluorine gas in the room, will interrupt you and say “no you won’t.”

Not while I’m within a mile of this lab. Two miles if I’m downwind.
Unspecified chemist, paraphrased from the article

Poster’s note: I just noticed it uploaded and didn’t see it posted yet, so I rectified that.

Assuming US Gallons. With Imperial Gallons, it’s 2.447 m

And the explanation

And also: the explanation.

1. Load the capsule onto a ship in 2024.
2. Sail to the easternmost point of the international date line and stop just before crossing.
3. At midnight, open the outer box.
4. Immediately cross the date line and then sail along it on the 2024 side, aiming for the westernmost point of the line.
5. While in transit, open the inner box
6. ???
7. Profit!..?

Depends on how and/or if you want to curve future changes. Going 1e5.9, 1e5.8, 1e5.7, … will curve logarithmically, while 9e5, 8e5, 7e5, … will curve linearly within each power of ten, then get a discontinuity at 1e5 and go 9e4 and scale linearly at a different rate.

Of course, you’ll have to be an absolute nerd to find that a problem and there’s a nonzero chance that I’m such a nerd and I just admitted my guilt 😅

Sleep(1e5.9[...]), where [...] is everything else, and hope that the compiler or interpreter can handle non-integer exponents for this type of scientific notation.

Also, it appears that they created the terminal function that does that in a very compact notation, so another correct way to write down this sum is “24?” Where n? = n + (n-1)?

For one, it looks to me like the triangle numbers, which for triangle number T_n = (n+1) choose 2.

So for a correct nested advent calendar of 24 days, it’s T₂₄ = (24+1) choose 2 = 300

Depends on the final advent calendars. I’ve seen one where the final product is an electric screwdriver, with screw bits and all.

I’m getting basically the same at the moment if I try to go there.
