Another Paper I Love Is About How Play Behaviour, Not Tool Use, Is Related To Brain Mass In Birds, And

another paper I love is about how play behaviour, not tool use, is related to brain mass in birds, and how we draw false conclusions about tool use and cognitive ability when we should be considering play behaviour…i just love that and it’s implications actually

I Find This Antonov An-74 Plane Hilarious. Not Just Because Of The Weird Engine Placement, Everyone Finds

I find this Antonov An-74 plane hilarious. Not just because of the weird engine placement, everyone finds that hilarious. This (and the related AN-72) are nicknamed "Cheburashka", after this cartoon character:

I Find This Antonov An-74 Plane Hilarious. Not Just Because Of The Weird Engine Placement, Everyone Finds

But no, the even funnier thing, to me, is how they've labeled this plane. Lemme zoom in:

THEY PUT THE PLANE'S FAX NUMBER ON IT

who sees a fucking plane and goes "hey, maybe I should send that plane a fax"?

The Chemical Structure of Redstone

So I was curious about what the chemical structure of Redstone looks like, and Minecraft Education Edition, albeit unintentionally, gives us a canon look into what Redstone is made of:

The Chemical Structure Of Redstone

In Minecraft Education Edition, putting a Redstone Block into a Material Reducer shows that it's composed of 31 Carbon, 31 Uranium, and 38 Unobtanium, which we can assume to be measured in grams

Dividing the Redstone Block into Redstone Dust, each Redstone Dust is then composed of approximately 3.4 Carbon, 3.4 Uranium, and 4.2 Unobtanium

Again assuming that's measured in grams, that's 0.17 cm³ of Uranium, 1.496 cm³ of Carbon, and ???³ of Unobtanium per Redstone Dust

So what does this tell us about the chemical structure of Redstone? Basing this on Redstone Dust's composition, we can estimate that each Redstone molecule is composed of 3 Carbon atoms, 3 Uranium atoms, 4 Unobtanium atoms, a little under half of the time it binds to an extra Uranium and/or Carbon, and 20% of the time it binds to an extra Unobtanium

This also has some horrifying implications for how Redstone works:

Redstone would be extremely volatile as the radioactive decay from Unobtanium and Uranium would occasionally release Helium ions through alpha radiation, sometimes breaking apart Carbon into two Beryllium atoms (as it absorbs the extra proton and neutron from the Uranium) or merging into Oxygen

So Redstone should, in theory, be extremely flammable and potentially explosive, which implies that cave static, or the player mining Redstone with an Iron Pickaxe, could lead to a spark that causes an explosive cave-in

As Unobtanium is just a placeholder for unobtainable elements (hence the name), I'm going to estimate Unobtanium in this case as Unbinilium, the placeholder name for element 120

Why?

The Chemical Structure Of Redstone

I'm estimating the Unobtanium as Redstone as being larger than the largest man-made element, Oganesson, which holds an impressive 118 protons

Each valence electron shell, from innermost to outermost, can bind with 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, and 8 shells respectively, so I'd like Unobtanium to be an element we haven't discovered yet, and consequently I'd like to jump up to the next shell

While I could estimate with element 119's placeholder, Ununennium, it would have one electron in the next shell, so Unbinilium allows for easier chemical binding

So what does this molecule look like then? Well, horrifyingly...

The Chemical Structure Of Redstone

It looks like this. As Redstone forms in crystal lattices, and only two Carbon atoms are free to bind, I can absolutely see why it's so brittle that it breaks into powder.

This makes the structure of Redstone:

C3U3Uno4 (55% of molecules) C4U3Uno4 (13% of molecules) C3U4Uno4 (13% of molecules) C4U4Uno4 (7% of molecules) C3U3Uno5 (5% of molecules) C4U3Uno5 (3% of molecules) C3U4Uno5 (3% of molecules) C4U4Uno5 (1% of molecules)

An extremely radioactive, flammable, and explosive compound.

Online Encyclopedia GUI - Non ADHD
Google Docs
Please take a look at the following page links. These will supplement the visuals given below. - Ensure that the browser's zoom is set to 10

Hello again!

I’m doing my masters thesis and yesterday i blazed a post for a questionnaire for people with ADHD, and i got a massive response. way more than i was expecting! thank you!

i made a questionnaire for people <without adhd> so that i could compare the results but because of how massive the response was for the adhd results i need help getting more responses for the non-ADHD questionnaire so that its even.

so if you do NOT have ADHD, please fill out this questionnaire.

what is it for?

my thesis is about making web gui for online encyclopaedias or web articles more adhd friendly by increasing focus and decreasing distractions. i need responses from people without adhd this time to see where exactly the differences lie.

Thank you in advance! i’ll need like 160 respondants to match with its adhd counterpart!

do you feel positive, negative, or neutral about inaccurate plastic skeleton halloween decorations? like what's going on with this guy's everything?

Do You Feel Positive, Negative, Or Neutral About Inaccurate Plastic Skeleton Halloween Decorations? Like

you may not know this, but I am something of a specialist on amphibian skeletal anatomy, and this… thing is a sin against my entire field.

Frogs do not have ribs. Where is its pectoral girdle? Why does it have mammal feet? What even happened to its hips? Why does it have SO MANY VERTEBRAE‽ And what in the seven hells happened to its skull? Hypertrophy is one thing, but this… this is just lazy. They seem to have decided to give it a beak??? And the nostril is super far back and also somehow integrated into a bone¿?¿?

What in the name of Eru Ilúvatar is going on‽
