@M.A.R. ah, so, like a private name of people. Nice. :)

@Mithical encoded message?

@Mithical yessir. Launching all nuclear missiles in 60 seconds

@Mithical Much better :D

Elements In Space

12:34 PM

@JourneymanGeek Looks more like a laundry.

Journeyman Geek

@ElementsInSpace kitchen and laundry are the 'same' space

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@JourneymanGeek yeah, pretty common here too. (Not in my case though, house is big enough to have them separate. ;))

@Journeyman what's in the box?

Journeyman Geek

oh that's my stove/oven

its connected to the gas so they just shifted it aside

that open space is where it'll go

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@JourneymanGeek ah, but why didn't you unpack it yet?

Journeyman Geek

oh its covered up temporarily so they can install the cabinets

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

12:44 PM

Neat.

Journeyman Geek

its not a box as much as just some cardboard taped over it

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

My mother also ordered a new oven recently, but none in my family is handyman enough to install it, so she has to wait for technician to arrive and install it. :/

Journeyman Geek

the oven part of mine just plugs in

Its electric

the stove top is gas

Tinkeringbell

1:00 PM

@JourneymanGeek Nice! Will the cabinet doors be getting handles/knobs? Or fingerprints all over? :P

Journeyman Geek

I don't think they'll have handles

but tbh, I'm goood with that after the time I had to change ALL the handles at my parents place kitchen

the originals were plastic, but identical in size to ikea ones and breaking sooooo

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda I know, it's, H20, the first time I saw your phrase I thought: "the world is going to run out of water", but then I started to think if something else would happen, it would turn into hydrogen oxide (OH), right?

Marco

2:38 PM

I was wrong, it would actually be Hydroxyl

Journeyman Geek

It would be unstable, and need to react with something :D

which wouldn't be good

Marco

@JourneymanGeek why?

Journeyman Geek

most hydroxides are basic?

though I'd guess there's be nothing left that'd care

Marco

@JourneymanGeek you meant hydroxyles?

Journeyman Geek

maybe

I've not touched chemistry in... waaaaay too long

Marco

2:45 PM

@JourneymanGeek what do you mean?

@JourneymanGeek me too

Journeyman Geek

if all the water lost a hydrogen

everything would die :D

Marco

Everything would be dry, right?

Body water

In physiology, body water is the water content of an animal body contained in its tissues, blood, bones, and elsewhere. The percentages of body water contained in various fluid compartments add up to total body water (TBW). This water makes up a significant fraction of the human body, both by weight and by volume. Ensuring the right amount of body water is part of fluid balance, an aspect of homeostasis. == Location == By weight, the average adult human is approximately 60% water, and the average child is approximately 65% water. There can be considerable variation in body water percentage based...

hmmm

Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard

lol

@Marco ask our dear @M.A.R. ;)

charges @Marco $2000 for a tip

Marco

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard no, thanks

Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard

lol

3:44 PM

@JourneymanGeek just wait until the light hits it just right and you're spending time cleaning the outside again because of all the prints XD

Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda lucky you!

Journeyman Geek

4:04 PM

Speaking of cleaning...

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/399188/… troll?

@Tinkeringbell it's matte and I need to clean anyway 😅

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

4:57 PM

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard well, need big house when having three kids. Living on my own, or just with a partner probably would have found something much smaller. :)

Before marriage I indeed lived in small apartments, one was half the size of my current, and with two other roommates. Good times. :P

@JourneymanGeek still too early to know based on that alone, and if this is the same person, looks fine-ish, just pretty lost in SE.

No idea why mod doesn't just nuke this spammer off the site, and instead posting useless comments. It's obvious that's their website, and spammers never reply.

This one was just more patient than most.

@Marco if your medium is basic enough, water will lose its hydrogen to become the hydroxyl anion.

So in this hypothetical, removing water from Earth would involve a meteor or something with an incredible amount of a very strong base.

In another hypothetical, an incredible source of energy could dissociate water molecules into hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen radicals. In the former case, the bond breaks and oxygen gets wll the electrons, in this one, the hydrogen ends up with one electron and water with another.

This energy source would probably not be able to penetrate deep into the oceans.

In all these scenarios, removing a hydrogen from every molecule of water on Earth would happen long long after every living thing has already died, so it'd be moot

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@M.A.R. good, so we won't suffer.

M.A.R.

Yes, it gives me great joy that of all the methods of dying, having the water in my body convert into something else will never happen

It's a bit of a philosophical question about identity, but most chemists develop the mindset that conjugate acids and bases aren't really different species, because proton transfer happens very very quickly, in nanosecond scales, and fully.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@M.A.R. who knows.... weirder things happened. Like humans appearing here on Earth.

M.A.R.

I.e. a hydroxyl anion isn't much different from water, you just have to adjust the pH.

Lactate and lactic acid in your body are not different. They're at this dynamic equilibrium that's dependent on pH.

Free radicals are much different though. They don't just normally pop up, especially when it comes to water

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

7:19 PM

@M.A.R. pity.

M.A.R.

In most cases, the initial thing that gives you cancer is probably a hydroxyl radical that reacts with the tumor suppressor genes in your DNA

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda no u pity

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

yay

All of those had obvious spam, which a mod edited out.

This site is heaven for spammers.

Spam and get a friendly mod to edit it out, perhaps give you a gift.

If I'd care a bit more I'd try doing something but meh... they can have their site become pile of spam.
