Twin Geeks

man i just re-read my last post to remind myself what i've already ranted about and.. well.. i dunno.. yeah ok i go on and on and on with conviction and self importance and all that but it's different when you're with your mates.. that's when it's TIME to talk shit.. when you're in a class room and you're old and you're struggling to actually be there and you're there for a very specific reason (to learn from the teacher)it's just tough to sit through the teenage years all over again.. blah blah blah di fuckin blah...

yes..

as you can prolly guess..

i haven't even started the homework..

fuck it i'll wing it for another week i've been isanely busy just trying to save the garden, cook, clean (no really) and sort out a study space..
i'm not buying another friggin desk.. but the ones i have are too big to put up in the loft.. SO I'M GONNA SAW ONE IN HALF!!!! AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

picture this.. as this will actually be happening next week.. there's me, unable to move the thing outside so will be doing it inside, with a circular saw, earmuffs, faceguard, gloves, and furniture covered with plastic dropsheets to capture the dust..

i am going to feel like Dexter the serial killer..

Add very loud noise, chipboard carnage and the comedic sight of a large piece of furniture falling neatly in two, as i raise my buzz saw above my head and laugh like a maniac.. victorious in my defeat of a badly manufactured laminate.

i will prolly not see the cat for a week..

he totally bails when i go all schwarzenegger with power tools.

i need a twin..

a twin that does nothing but homework and study, then sends me the results telepathically.

until then.. i will have to nerd up

ciao!

A student monopolizing the class time can be really annoying when it diverts from what needs to be covered in the class. They don’t know the feeling of being in a hurry to learn.

Some work, a little bit of travel and a few knocks and they’ll see things a bit more pragmatically. Fortunately, a recession is coming up so they’ll start with the knocks.

Were you able to get enough homework done to palm it off on the teachers?

If you’ve got the illusion of work being done that’s OK then. :)

I’ve got a couple of weeks left before I’m needed back in the salt mine. If you have some time between the homework that’s between classes let me know if you’ve got an inclination to catch up. No stress though, I understand term break is probably a better time. Ray

How water conducts electricity

Water can be split into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, by passing a current through it. This process is called electrolysis. Water molecules naturally dissociate into H+ and OH- ions, which are pulled toward the cathode and anode, respectively.This allows a current to flow.

Pure water has a conductance of less than 0.055 microsiemens per cm.
Even small amounts of dissolved salts or acids can raise this dramatically. Tap water conducts at about 1000 microsiemens per cm
Even leaving pure water exposed to the air allows carbon dioxide to dissolve, raising its conductance to 1 microsiemen per cm or more.

However, even 0.055 microsiemens per cm is not zero: a cubic foot of pure water has a conductance of ~1.6 microsiemens ... comparable to the conductance between your two hands ... so purifying your bath water won't help if you accidentally drop your toaster in the water while making toast in the bath!

"i'm yet to master writing legibly in a moving carriage" You can use your shiny new laptop for this :)

it's always so crowded on the morning peak hour express jigger.. getting a laptop going and oh man.. my knees are too low and the thing keeps sliding off my lap and then there's the whole "blocking the vents.. laptop will overheat and possibly blow up" paranoia that comes from sitting it on yourself instead of a table.. i KNOW it's called a laptop because you can use it ON YOUR LAP but i'm terrified of technology.. i'm sure its out to get me.. or atleast melt into my pants.. unless its a large radio telescope that tracks across the sky like a flowerhead turning to the sun.. then its ok..
BUT NOT IF IT'S NOT!!!
