marketing guy: hmmm yeah we need to make vodka soda branded as “gay water.” make sure the packaging looks like diaper packaging.

other marketing guy: maybe we should add funny little stickers, like–

both at the same time: racism is small dick energy!

Ok so I’m a Boston born and raised nuclear engineer and I feel an INTENSE need to correct the physics in your post— an electron can’t hit a U-238 nucleus (or any nucleus) b/c the Coulomb force keeps the negatively charged particles from the positively charged nucleus. I think you meant a neutron rather than an electron, but there is still an issue— U-238 is considered a fertile isotope, not fissile (I.e. only VERY PARTICULAR neutrons will make it fission, normally it just absorbs neutrons and later decays into plutonium, which IS fissile, but that takes time so this can’t cause a chain reaction fast enough). Anyways, I think you meant “a neutron hitting a U-235 nucleus”, which is the normal fission reaction that powers reactors. But this only releases ~200 MeV of energy so one reaction isn’t enough to annihilate even one Yankees fan :(

Hate this city. Assholes as far as the eye can see. Stick my neck out and some twerp starts lecturing me about fissile materials. Maybe I show him what a fertile isotope looks like once you get a nice dinner at the four seasons, loosen the tension a little bit. Get the plutonium flowing. Fuckin coulomb forces keeping us from the ones we love.

or maybe just the ones we find ourselves irresistibly attracted towards, who knows. I knew an electron who went nuclear once. He and this girl had like, a gravity to ‘em. I saw them in the north end, and the didn’t even react to me. It’s like they led these incredibly charged lives and now they’re just this dense mass together.

Yet I’d never live anywhere else. Ah well. Home is where the hatred is. Gil scott heron said that

Um no I'm pretty sure those are both switches

I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

nowhere else

I think it's hilarious that hands down the worst way to learn magic is the actual rulebook. Please do not read that. It's just there for reference when something weird happens

This explains so much.

WAIT YOU USED TO BE AN ANIMATOR?

yeah man I really miss animating (and my desk at VFS with the stupidly good ergonomic chair.... siiiiighs) but sometimes I get those action-shot panels in TPoH and it's almost like key framing so! I takes what I can gets

I know deep down in my heart that Karlach would go nuts over a fidget spinner.

This was fun!

What mundane items do u think the other companions would be delighted with?

thinking about my "fire" thing.

Long ago, I changed usernames constantly, but at some point I named myself "Pyro" and stuck with it. My favorite colour is a bright, burning red. When I found myself, I started wearing my red constantly, to remind myself to stay true to what I value. Burning passion and determination are widely considered my defining traits.

.... and when I really think about what instilled all this in me.... I do think it was Gurren Lagann.
