Today, well rather yesterday now, I learned that my school shut my internet down Three times for having a "Packet Snooper" installed. Figured out it was a little XBOX mod engine I was running....
Well, live, learn, get smarter than the firewall.
Also I remember my Physics and Chem teachers teaming up for a good show in highschool, if only I could remember what chemicals they used.....
The common "wow students" chemical reactions:
glucose + sulfuric acid = the black "snake" of char.
glucose + potassium chlorate (or perchlorate) = loud, purple flames of a violent exothermic reaction.
water + pure sodium (or potassium or lithium) = various violent reactions.
the ignition of a variety of flammable gases.
last but by no means least, thermite
powdered aluminum + iron (III) oxide + high activation energy (typically magnesium fuse) = violent reaction resulting in the production of molten iron.
Another good one Nitrogen TriIodide, purple gooey mess when mixed in fluid solution, but leave it out to dry then yell at it...it yells back.
why does more calories make the reaction better?
Calories mean energy (1 calorie = 4.1868 Joules), that reaction is driven by the energy stored in the fuel so the higher the calorie content of the food the more energy there is to release as the reaction consumes it. Unless you don't like fire that is a good thing.
Today I learned the value of the right tool for the job. Specifically, a nail-puller to pull out the tacks, nails, brads and staples holding in an ancient, oxidized and nasty piece of aluminum screen on my back screen door.
I also learned that it's damned near impossible to take off ~30 year old trim molding strips that are nailed and stapled in place without destroying them. And that my patio screen doors consist of little more than a couple of 1-by-8's and 1-by-sixes nailed and doweled together and painted.
I also learned the value of a good staple gun.
That Dumbledore was gay and that he fell in love with an enemy from a while back.
Heee

Jan Berenstain: 'Brother Bear is bisexual'
PITTSBURGH - Co-author of the popular Berenstain Bears children's book series Jan Berenstain announced to a stunned Rosemeade Elementary School audience Wednesday afternoon that Brother Bear, son of Papa and Mama bear and sibling of Sister Bear, has always been attracted to both male and female bears.
"Stan and I always considered Brother to swing both ways", responded Berenstain when asked why Brother hung out with Too-Tall Grizzley and Bonnie Brown.But some Berenstain devotees were less than surprised. "Whatever, I saw this coming." said third-grader Julie Taylor, taking a break from long-division homework. "In Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers, Brother got mad at Sister for telling Mama he was talking to a stranger, when he obviously was just trying to learn about the Bear County swinger scene."
In addition to vetoing several plots for the series in which Brother remains in a monogamous relationship with a female, she denies that his bisexuality is "just a phase," and hopes that her revelation about Brother Bear will receive a less intense reaction than A.A. Milne's estate revealing that Piglet is heterosexual.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Today I learned that the curse that plagues me, the sin that corrupts me, the darkness that surrounds me, the light that sustains me and the desire that drives me are the only things I can rely on.
Today I learned that the stupidity of human beings can never be overrated.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Today I learned that a cup of hot chocolate after watching The Day After Tomorrow tastes exceptionally good.
For real.
this should have been posted yesterday... but anyhow.
I learned, from a very unstable man who appears to be from africa, although i was told he is haitian... that we americans are destroying the world and that i dont have anything in common with my girlfriend because i am white and she is hispanic.
also that the american government is seriously flawwed for giving financial aid to crazy anti-american people from other countries... how can we fight a war on terror and at the same time pay anti american lunatics to live in our country.... wtf is that
are you perhaps referring to the case against the Muslim charity being thrown out today? to me, it seems to teach that the war on terror, or at least against financial backers of it, has even less lawful power than we'd ever thought.
Today I learned that port, while very delicious and somewhat potent (20% alcohol) leaves you with one of the worst hangovers when you drink half a bottle of it in one night along with a few beers. Christ almighty, now I know why it's traditionally one small cup of that stuff after a meal...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Today I learned that I can play about 30 minutes of WoW before I have to head off to the bus stop, which I am VERY happy about.

You didn't learn that python, quit using bullshit excuses to post everywhere.
Today I learned what Guktuk (sp) is. The Alaskans eat it, it's this horrible looking "ice cream" with assorted dried fruits and a bunch of animal fat (usually fish) in it. Just horrid.

Today I learned that taking a Shady Grove bus instead of a Rockville bus adds a solid 20 minutes of travel time to my commute, which means that I'm never better off taking that one.
20 minutes of websurfing made me miss the bus I wanted to be on by about 2 minutes this morning. Only do that if you've got good time discipline.
Today I learned that if you drop your CD player once and it stops working, drop it five more times to show it who's boss (while you pressed play with a CD inside). Then it starts to work again.
Oh yes, very true story <.<
Today I learned that one must drown himself in Photoshop to keep ones skills sharp.
I learned today that I can make up said bullshit excuses to post the hell out of these forums. Thanks, Azazel

Today I learned that when you get too addicted to a game you lose track of time and miss your Math homework and two quizzes for the same subject. It is a loverly experience. I suggest you all try it some time.
I also learned that it is a bad idea to not backup information from a website you own, because you could lose it all in a misplaced click.... yay me. Though I am lucky that none of the stuff I lost really mattered as it was from an old install of a CMS I don't use anymore except for experimentation.
Well, you'd do that anyway. And Complich: I got it all figured out. I wake up at 5 am, and I almost always leave at 5:45 exactly, to catch my 6:13 bus. Takes around five minutes to get oriented and whatnot, and my walk is seven minutes with my music playing, because somehow, playing my music affects my walking speed.
