ive been trying to say the same thing, while at the same time trying hard to explain to him what hes doing wrong.
in return he ignores everything i told him, then talks behind my back about me being some sort of lame poser junkie.
hes not doing himself any favors at all.

he'll learn eventually i'm shure. he just needs to de-spazz himself

lets hope.
that, and to not shit-throw those trying to defend him. odeon tried to defend him too, and got TWO threads dedicated to how lame he is.
just wait, next hell make a thread about how your not really an aspie and so on :zoinks:

oh shit yeah Depression I have that too :laugh:

i also have schizoid personailty disorder :facepalm2:

I also suffer from depression. Maybe even severe.

Nope guys. The kid is dense. You might as well gangrape his ass. HE still won't get it, but at least he'll fuck off. Maybe.

Rage is right.
Virtually everyone has AS or something connected here, and I'm a spazz who likes hanging around here. So razornose can't use AS as any excuse for his behaviour more than that stupid bitch Meadow can. Yeah, he may be only around 18, but what sort of fuckwit would intentionally try to enter an >18's site when only a minor, then try to troll the place?
Rhetorical question, only razorteeth.

but thats exactly what he does.
he uses AS as his excuse, for then to denounce every last one of us as posers and fakers :D

Insult: I'm an aspie, and your all losers and dickheads.
Reply: But we're all aspies anyway, dipshit. So what's yer point?

The dinosaurs are dead, because your mom. :hahaha:

Read an interesting article that drew attention to a recently discovered layer of diamond nanoparticles that seems to be arranged over a very large section of the earth, in thin layers that correspond with major mass estinction events during the earths history.
I wonder if the cause of extinction of dinosaurs (at least the toothed kinds) wasn't linked to dental erosion in addition to other factors in operation over the periods of extinction, which took a long time, this IMO would at least have exacerbated things.
Temporally localized deposition of this kind of material rather than a mass-scale full thickness layer present throughout soil implies a point source, and to do this an intense source of heat, and pressure is needed to yield diamond from organic carbon.
Sonocavitation in solvents can seemingly do this, not surprising given the intense heat and likewise pressure that have to be going on within a cavitation bubble as it collapses, but a super-sized meteorite impact could presumably do this.
Which makes me wonder more about the source of the tunguska blast event, whilst larger fragments were afaik not found close to the site of impact, there is known to have been discovered micrometer-sized particles of such fused, crystalline material.
So quite possibly methinks, the intensity of the heat/pressure coupled with the dispersive blast wave throwing around either material from a carbonaceous chondrite type meteor airbursting, or thermolysis of airborne organic material in the gas phase (notably of interest here, a commercial nanodiamond powder product is actually created by setting off high explosives with a low oxygen content relative to carbon in an oxygen deficient atmosphere confined within a sealed chamber, the shockwave of the blast and heat of the explosives decomposition, the charge itself being the source of the organic carbon in the gas phase proving sufficient to vitrify (I use the term loosely, as diamonds are of course, crystalline rather than amorphous glasslike materials, although glassy carbon does exist, its used as an extremely thermally resistant and hard material with excellent resistance to molten metals and strong acids, as well as IIRC in space reentry vehicles as material for the ablative protective plates of nosecones) graphite into diamond.
The isotopic signature of the microparticulate material recovered from the tunguska blast epicenter though does suggest nonterrestrial origin, along with far larger than average concentrations of one of the platinum-group metals, iridium, which is very dense and on earth, mostly sinks over geological timescales whilst its far commoner in space rubble, having no hot core to sink into.
I'd hazard a guess that maybe the airbursting projectile was an iridium-rich carbonaceous chondrite, with the carbon fraction ablating in the atmosphere, or any remainder being vaporised by the resultant blast, I'm no expert on meteor impacts and know bugger all about computer modelling of airburst explosion projectile size/crater size ratios but it would make sense to me that this could be one reason a meteorite impact crater was not found, nor large fragments of the impact vehicle.
Just some offtrack musings.

In particular, after a major impact event over north america, where a widespread dispersion of such diamond nanoparticles, much of the herbivorous megafauna, such as ground sloths, camelids and horses disappeared from the continent. The two events correspond temporally, so I just bet diamond nanocrystals produced by the impact could be small enough to be uptaken into plant tissue, making for a highly abrasive dietary source which would wear down the grinding type of teeth herbivores usually possess, and as such impact their ability to feed. This impact event also corresponded (but is not necessarily the cause of) to the extinction of the late/post-Pleistocene extinction of the Clovis people, possibly the first people to have inhabited N-america, these people were probably incomers from asia, and disappeared from north america after the impact.

I wonder if someday future archaologists will be studying the layer of tiny plastic particles which humanity is doing its utmost to spread through the world's oceans and land, and be correlating it with another mass extinction event.
-
Wouldn't surprise me.
There is a huge problem with plastic crap either on a macroscale with discarded bags entering the oceans and being mistaken, fatally, for jellyfish by turtles, and apparently even deep down the tiny particles resulting from degraded plastic items is being found in the bodies and gills of fish and other sea creatures.
-
Not to mention the huge upsurge in the jellyfish population because they're one of the few things we're not overfishing.

AFAIK at least some kinds of jellyfish can be eaten, I think some of them actually are, in some oriental countries, china does I think, and they are popular in malaysia.

Might try some myself next time I happen to be at a beach. I can do the curing following those instructions, either with the alum, or keep things simple and avoid ingesting aluminium, as it isn't healthy stuff to be taking in. They can seemingly be done by just cutting off the inedible parts and packing in rock salt for a couple of days. Can't get much simpler than that. I love beef jerky, so I see no reason not to eat jellyfish jerky also. I'm usually up for trying unusual new foods. Hades only knows how many weird and in the lucky cases, wonderful wild mushrooms, tree nuts and berries I've eaten in my time. Quite certainly experimented with more kinds of wild fungi than anybody I've ever spoken to or known. Even tried stinkhorn eggs once. ONLY once mind you, I spent the rest of that night retching my insides out, a proper puke-fest that was, and they were totally revolting too. I do always go for many of the commonly eaten species, like parasols, chicken of the woods/sulfur polypore and ceps, chanterelle and morels, but I've also had for instance, various waxcaps, like the scarlet hood, slippery jack and larch boletes are a real favourite of mine, once the layer of slime adhering to the caps of those two are peeled off and discarded, giant puffballs, and other large edible puffballs, which are another favourite of mine. Me and my old man, when I was a kid, went up to his old workshop, which is situated on a farm. Whilst there, walking up, I happened to spot a couple of MASSIVE puffballs, at least two or three foot in diameter, making me a very happy kid indeed, and a very full one too once I got those huge puffballs home, sliced them up and fried them. I use some other mushrooms as cooking spices too, mainly cured, detoxified fly agaric, which is poisonous unless one knows how to prepare it right, same with the blusher, another Amanita like the fly agarics, likewise toxic raw. And I always look out for wild oystermushrooms, honshimeijii, enokitakes, charcoal burners (Russula cyanoxantha) and some other Russula and Lactarius (milk caps) around this time of year, to cover in mozzarella cheese and grill with a bit of worcestershire sauce, HP sauce and a splash of tabasco.
Ink caps are another favourite of mine, mainly lawyer's wig (Coprinus comatus) and C.atrementarius the common ink cap. The latter is totally edible BUT one cannot consume alcohol within a few hours prior to eating common ink caps, or for up to four days afterwards, as they contain a substance that acts like the booze-aversion therapy drug antabuse/disulfiram, which is given to addicts trying to get clean of the demon drink, and makes them so awfully sick they just want to die, and never drink again.
One must also get both the common and the lawyer's wig home FAST, within hours of picking at the most, otherwise they liquify and turn into a slimy black spore-laden mess that was once actually used for black ink. I've had them turn into a pool of inedible goo before I could even finish hiking and get the ink caps home before. Lepista spp. (blewits, field blewit, wood blewit, and Lepista irina) are another one thats wound up on my experimental menu before, although I find them rather too flowery tasting, as they really do have a very, very strongly perfumed taste and smell.
And of course, I do like to go hunting for magic mushrooms, we have a couple of kinds here in the UK, liberty caps and wavy caps (Psilocybe cyanescens, a woodlover species, which is one of the most potent of all the psilocybin mushrooms, 2g (dry weight) is enough to blow your head off) libs are pretty strong too, although very small per fruitbody.
Got to be really careful with wavycaps though as they have two very deadly lookalikes, Galerina species, and a small brown mushroom, Conocybe filaris, both containing the same deadly liver-destroying amatoxins as the infamous death cap, which pretty much does what it says on the tin if eaten. Both the offending species can grow side by side in the same patch of woodchips as the desired wavycaps, so spore printing every individual mushroom is essential to avoid the risk of potentially fatal poisoning. Both the offensive genera have rusty coloured to rust-tan brown ochre colored spores however, whilst Psilocybes have a dark purplish-blacky violetish blackened brown colored spore colour, so differentiating between the psychedelic and the poisonous ones is easily done even by a rank amateur. I've had a deadly Galerina turn up in a big haul of wavy caps once before, but luckily I knew to sporeprint the lot, so it didn't get the chance to sneak into the batch of shrooms.
Jellyfish though is out there as far as weird and wonderful wild eating goes, but I'd still be up for giving it a go.

Dinosaurs injected marijuanas and it turned them homogay so they wound up handjobing bear's male penises and the homo made them not have eggs n e more so they extinct

Dinosaurs had penises
:v
really
on very complete fossils, you can even tell male from female, because males have an additional, smaller chevron (tail rib), probably for attachment of penis muscles or ligaments
it would be tucked inside them except for when mating, like w some birds (ducks notably)
(this because they would probably not be able to rub butts, cus of their physique)

*VERY conservative illustration, as you can tell, he wouldn't be able to reach. More likely, the female did a real strutt with her butt.
In fact, several types of Chinese sauropods might be male and female of the same species, the females being individuals with very swayed backs.

Since there's already nylonase bacteria, I'd imagine that other life forms will evolve to either digest plastics or at least have defenses agains plastic contamination. Life is fairly difficult to wipe out entirely.

Well yes, and we already have engineered bacteria in use for breaking up oil spills at sea.
But evolution amongst viruses, prokaryotes and archaea is VERY different to that in eukaryotic life, due to the sheer speed of replication, allowing many many countless hordes of generations to be iterated through in the time it takes a single multicellular life to run from birth to death. Especially amongst viruses with their (for the most part, not talking about those giant viruses that infest amoebae like megavirus, mimivirus and co. (they really are fucking HUGE, one of them is over a micrometer in diameter iirc, big enough to be visualized under a high powered optical microscope, which for a virus, whos size is usually measured in the multiple tens to a couple of hundred nanometers, is way beyond morbidly obese, so to speak but as far as I know the analogy still holds, afaik they still hijack the RNA/DNA polymerases and transcriptases of the host for their own end, and they are still both parasitic and lethal to the host. But those things are SO different to conventional viruses and viroids (viroids are replication deficient, stripped-down viruses possibly, or potentially genetic leftover survivors from a pre-DNA 'RNA-world' before DNA and proteins evolved, or even possibly, before the first proto-cellular life making them almost-abiological, hovering right on the borderline between life and non-life, long strands of parasitic cyclic genetic material, kind of 'parasitic plasmid'-like, almost in that sense that they undergo rolling circular replication like a plasmid, although some viroids can selfreplicate via ribozyme-type activity [a ribozyme is a length of RNA capable of acting upon itself in an autocatalytic manner, like a self-targeting enzyme, catalyzing its own replication], most of them aren't human pathogens, but affect primarily, plants, with the notable exception of hepatitis D, which may not be a typical viroid, and be a true devolved virus, if the pre-biogenesis hypothesis is true of viroids sensu stricto. Hep-D requires coinfection with another hepatitis virus to cause an infection, without coinfecting the same cell as its required viral partner it can't hijack some of its needed co-factors by way of replication enzymes. I guess you could almost call it a viral infection of viruses, in a loose manner of speaking.
I find the ORIGINS of life far, far more interesting than the extinction of it. THATs easy enough to achieve by any number of natural means, and truth told its a bit of a misnomer to speak of 'the' extinction of the dinosaurs, there were several mass extinction events. And presumably with different causes, such as in one case at least, oxygen enrichment reaching levels in the atmosphere the organisms present already could no longer tolerate. More or less, they choked to death on their own shit. Which we now enjoy continually breathing. What a delightful thought.
The big event at the end of the cretaceous era that massacred most or all the dinosaurs is pretty much certain to be an impact event, and by a BIG bastard, one that would probably wipe our, and most other species out, the size of a reasonable-sized landmass, like a US state. Not quite sure HOW big of a blast that would result in, but you'd want to stick your fingers in your ears, and quite possibly someone else's fingers too thats for sure. Bigger than anything we have the current capacity to create by orders of magnitude anyway. The reason its more or less certain to be an impact from space, is the K-T boundary, a widespread layer of iridium, along with things that require massive forces to create, that are usually found at ground zero of a nuclear explosion, or after impacts like whatever the hell it actually was that fell down on Tunguska, siberia. Ir is very rare on earth. Well, no more so afaik than it is elsewhere in space, only its inaccessible, along with most of the content of other really, really heavy, dense elements like osmium and iridium, some of the other platinum group metals, they were dense enough to sink down to the earths core, especially as they are somewhat often associated with iron geologically speaking. So they were, so to speak, dragged down to hell with it, when that iron formed the earths core. And as well as the iridium (in some places the relative abundance of the element is over a hundred times the quantity found elsewhere in most of the world. It is, though, common in meteorites, as there it never has had a chance to sink down to a planet's molten core while sitting around floating through space.) there are also rich deposits of tiny beads of melted glass, which must have been created during the impact, some but not all, thrown up high into the air, to be redistributed around the planet.
Fuck I bet that thing went off with one hell of a bang (hey, at least, y'all can give me and lit both the benefit of the doubt on that one!) Think I'm paying for a chemical order that large oonly to blow it all to hades? not with so many other interesting natural phenomena there are to intrigue me. Stuff like shooting conkers out of trees with improvised artillery was fun all right, but someone could do a lot worse with for instance an EMP, if they were that way inclined, and its possible to turn chemical energy into EMP output by using timed explosive shaped charges to compress a thin metal coil in such a way that a massive capacitative load from something like a spark gap voltage increase circuit like a mark generator, or maybe cockroft-walton, that it the shaped charge shorts the wire, while the pulse is still contained within the coil section of the pulse circuit, the result is a brief, fairly wideband iirc and high amplitude EMP. its called an explosively pumped magnetic flux compression generator. Never built one, but the output can be big, would make a hell of a mess by virtue of modern dependence upon technology. The correct situation in which such an EMP took place and it might even turn out worse, at least in a non-tribal type of society. Or something like a virtual cathode oscillator, some vacuum knowhow and glass fabrication needed, but microwave output up to a terawatt, in brief or possibly chirped pulses, depending on your available power supply and the depth of your pockets or ability to fabricate large cap banks, do what you like with it, so to speak. Although I wouldn't recommend TV dinners...
Something tells me rated that high its going to be a one shot event, and the grid would burn out the moment the load is put through, unless its extremely brief.
-
All I could understand from that was "Although I wouldn't recommend TV dinners."
And I don't even understand that. I like TV dinners. It's been a long day. Brain powering down. :P
-
I was referring, jokingly to cooking a microwave dinner using a vircator pulse. The result wouldn't even survive to be fine TV dinner mist, it would most likely detonate with a helluva bang, hit something LIVING with a microwave pulse with a terawatt of output, and you won't be IDing them from dental records, your down, possibly, to scraping up the surrounding molten glass,if there is quite thatmuch left of the target. and using something like induction-coupled plasma mass spec to try and determine roughly if all of it was native to the country your in via isotope signatures.
Main effect though really isn't the potential for thermal damage, but by coupling on the EMP to power lines, spreading throughout the range of the device, frying stuff as it goes, electronics, particularly semiconductors and wiring. Making it more of a nonconventional weapon targeted mainly at vehicles and infrastructure. Communucations systems are particularly susceptible without being hardened. At least with the explosively pumped flux-compression type devices, a vircator coupled to a waveguide and some shielding of appropriate parts, and you got youself more or less a directed energy weapon, the frequency the vircator is tuned to at design time as different materials absorb more/less MW.
My MW oven is rated at 900W for comparison, the lab one is a bit more, not much. And the one used to do food will burn a dinner to a crisp in short order, that much juice output in a brief pulse (they are capable of nanosecond chirped output iirc, brief but very, very very high power output., call it 1 kilowatt, for math ease sake, a terawatt is that amplfied a thousand times a thousand times a thousand times a thousand (prefixes go kilo-1000, mega-1k thousand, giga-thousand mega-whatever unit of interest, tera-thousand gig. E.g a terabyte of data is a thousand gigabytes nominally speaking, same goes for wattage.) in other words, a gigantic fucking mess at ground zero, and spreading out long distance as it couples to electrical power cables and powerlines, blowing them out as it does (I.e, blowing to bits quite probably, dump a big capacitative load into say, a thin wire, or foil and see what happens with a large load. It doesn't get hot, it detonates violently with a loud crack, especially if the caps are rigged in a voltage amplifying circuit like a marx generator, And the metal can go off carrying mighty big quantities of force, for its used in tech like exploding bridgewire detonators, which can deonate modern insensitive plastic explosives, explosive foams etc. Dunno if ammonium nitrate/gasoline or diesel would go off. Maybe sensitized with nitromethane and micron fine aluminium powder, because while itl give a pretty hefty blast radius and total energy yield, its what tim mcveigh 8n the US, ANFO don't know I bet making ANFO with nitrobenzene as the hydroccarbon, the added nitro as a fundamental part of the basic principle, although nitrobenzene is is really poisonous, smells a bit like marzipan/cyanide (not everyone can smell hydrogen cyanide, smells like bitter almond, benzaldehyde, marzipan, the odor that develops in a short time after crushing up a leaf from a cherry laurel bush, the smell is prussic acid, as hydrocyanic acid, hydrogen cyanide in solution. Actually I think nitromethane and nitroethane reallly remind me of it. Or synthetic almond essence for cooking , thats benzaldehyde usually. I love that smell, and marzipan but my dad hates it.
One time it did get too much though was when i was a lot younger and didn't live where I do now, very first TNT attempt, I had no nitric acid, and didn't want to go to the inconvenience of handling boiling conc. sulfuric with a nitrate and distilling HNO3 , but tried an in situ nitration improvised on the spot, on toluene using ammonium nitrate and fuming sulfuric in the cold at first, for safety's sake to see how it behaved. Tame enough and didn't get TNT but rather a mixture of a yellow oil and an overpowering smell of marzipan/HCN, not sure

How the hell do you keep all that stuff straight? I can't even pronounce it. :GA:
