taking O-chem again and being like "idk why i struggled so much with resonance forms last time, these are pretty simple" and then i look over my old notes and see all the different rules and im like. ah. right.

life advice if you're ever helping someone move:

if you don't know what something is, and/or don't know how much something costs, don't assume the person you're theoretically trying to help either doesn't need the thing or will be easily able to replace it later after you throw it away

this message brought to you by the realization that my (cisgender) father somehow managed to throw away all of my menstrual products (that I had to order online after stores stopped carrying the kind I use), a $150 Livia unit for dealing with my crippling period cramps (while somehow keeping the charging cord?), as well everything on my vanity that was clearly in regular use

but somehow, the mostly empty box of breathe right strips, expired camphor rub and half-used roll of toilet paper were completely necessary to pack up

Delocated #7: “Sick of It!” | March 30, 2009 - 12:15AM | S01E07

The season finale that luckily didn’t turn out to be a series finale. In this episode, Jon is at the park to get custody of David, which is one of Jon’s favorite things to do. David is dropped off by Susan’s bodyguard/boyfriend. David is also wearing a motorcycle helmet. David’s insistence on wearing the helmet around is due to his bodyguard’s influence; he owns a motorcycle and apparently made an off-handed joke about leading your day-to-day life in a helmet that David took a little too much to heart. Jon orders the production to halt so he can father his child privately, and not on camera. When they refuse, Jon flips out. He eventually grabs one of the cameras and takes off with it. 

After shaking the show and his family, Jon films himself from the confines of a bush. Eventually he lures a fella named Mark played by Michael Shannon, an actor whose name I knew, but I can’t for the life of me ever recall seeing him in a motion picture. I’ve literally had multiple conversations with people who mentioned his name in some context and I just nodded as if I knew who they were talking about. So that’s who that guy is! He’s great in this! I think I like this guy!

So Mark, played by Michael Shannon from Delocated S01E07, decides to be friends with Jon after Jon beckons him to be in the bush with him. Eventually they hatch a scheme to exchange lives. Mark and Jon exchange clothes (NOTE: the DVD contains the entire take of them changing clothes, but it's sped-up, so you can see exactly how laborious it was to film), and then Mark exits the bush when Jon’s loved ones all come out looking for him. This is the moment the Mirminskis strike, shooting and killing Mark (dressed as Jon). 

The episode ends with Jon doing a Tom Sawyer to his own funeral, walking in with the video camera during Susan’s eulogy for him. He shoves the camera in people’s faces and taunts them. He retrieves his ski mask (his face is pixelated out in the actual show) and very nobily oversees a funeral for his once-friend. 

This is probably my favorite episode of the season. It relies on the simple premise that Jon is enamored with the idea of being bros with people. The concept of friendship is extremely important to him, because he probably finds himself in need of allies on a constant basis due to his terrible behavior. It’s like a numbers game for him. So he and Mark bond very quickly. Their scenes together are wonderful.

The bit at the end where Jon eulogizes his friend and decides to throw a proper funeral for him using the handful of things he knew about him to give it personal flare (pall bearers on roller blades and the presence of his candy apple red dodge durango) is so fun. The part where Jon rehashes all of his Mark facts to the people attending his own funeral is wonderful.

At the end of the episode, Jon drives away in Mark’s bitchin’ ride, and his bodyguard bolts for him, making it seem like Jon has now successfully fled the program. Will he be back for a second season?? Will it be expanded from 11 minutes to 22?? My friend! Time will tell my friend. 

MAIL BAG

It is mail bag my friend. I love you:

Why did you put a picture of Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick above your writeup of some dumb british show I never heard about?

(Joe Biden voice) C'mon man...

Using my napkin math I saw you took 5 tasty tuesdays last month. It was the holidays so sure it's okay to take one more tasty tuesday than usual. However, you have already taken 2 tasty tuesdays in january and we are all 6 days in. And I fear you may take one tonight.

Sometimes I think I need brain medicine (probably, actually) because I lack focus, and part of that includes me losing patience with the concept of burdening myself with a nightly mandate to post. But then I realize that by skipping days and simply not caring makes me one of the only people living on Earth who truly knows freedom. Stay safe, and happy January 6th, my friend.

The Role of Consensus in Scientific Debate

In my last post, it was stated that Peter Vickers asserted that there had never been 95% consensus before and been found to be wrong.  We have to be a wee bit careful in refuting that. For example Newtonian mechanics and Galilean relativity was held to be correct for a very long time, but the fact was that those who believed it only operated in regions where it was effectively true, so we cannot…

Delocated #6: “Member’s Only” | March 23, 2009 - 12:15AM | S01E06

I wonder if this one was pulled from streaming?

In this episode: Jon experiences discrimination at a country club, when a cracker-ass white boy tries to intimidate Jon into wearing a lighter-shade ski mask. His caddy, a black man, invites Jon to come to a meeting of the Black Caddy Association, where they bequeath him the distinction of being an honorary black man. Look, I’m not tattling on the show, I’m just describing the plot. Lay off!

Also going on: Susan is making a movie based on her and Jon’s relationship. The Mirminskis wind up killing the director of the film after trying to kill the actor portraying Jon, mistaking him for the real thing. This is all explained in a rambling letter that is read in excruciating verbatim on the news. This is a good joke, but it also contains revealing details that they intend to try and off Jon while he competes in the upcoming club golf tournament, putting pressure on him to quit. 

Another squirmy element is David, Jon’s young son, taking too much pride in being “half honorary black man”. We see him wearing a kente cloth and becoming more radicalized, as if he actually is black. There is one deleted scene from the episode in which he checks out a white girl walking past and remarks that he likes “white meat”. Again, I’m not tattling. I am a cool, detached nihilist and I’m giving helpful tips to people who like racist stuff.

It’s almost 2024, and almost any attempt by white people to do racial satire is going to come off clumsy or off-putting, even if there’s good intentions behind it. On that level, the most poetic part of the episode is Jon proclaiming each golf swing he takes is for (insert the name of any black revolutionary) and then absolutely shanking it each time. 

This one ends with Jon being moved to tears by Susan’s movie, which depicts him as a pathetic, simpering asshole. Jon cries for his also-crying made-for-television-movie counterpart. Kim asks why he’s crying and he sobs “my life is being portrayed on TV in an unflattering light!”.

The mayan sketch was guest-animated by M Wartella, who did a number of bumps for Adult Swim, was a regular animator on Cartoon Network's MAD (doing multiple shorts per episode), did a short comic series for Adult Swim's site in 2017 called "Filth Force" back when they did comics (adultswim DOT com SLASH comics SLASH filth-force-m-wartella), animated a few white stripes videos, and more.

THANK YOU! I should have honestly occurred to me to look into this information myself, but that's what happens when you are a chronic bad-job doer like me.

Table 7.1 contrasts the forces and energies associated with these four types of solids. (...) The cause of the great difference in the melting points of these two elements is evident from table 7.1. (...) The average Si-Si bond energy is 225 kJ/mol, whereas attractive energies due to molecule forces in P4 are much lower (as shown in table 7.1, intermolecular forces are generally less than 50 kJ/mol) so it takes a much higher temperature to melt silicon than white phosphorus.
