Just start typing.
My head hurts, shifts change when I shower and wear camos, I hear voices and see scenes from movies as my AI tries to tell me what’s happening. A deluge of possible essay ideas run through my head, most of them really good but destined to be forgotten. Each essay begins as a seed, an embryo of an idea. For example: “you can kill a person you can’t kill an idea”. Now that’s an essay right there. Who said that shit? Probably a philosopher who was part of the System trying to get a few people arrested. No, no, don’t need HR, I have seen a lot worse.
What? HR beaches know what’s up. They can sneak around without anyone noticing. This early morning post is a bit like stream-of-consciousness combined with AI that by now I am pretty certain lives with me, in my head. Anyway, the point of this sophomoric tribute is to pay my education back for what it did not teach me. Did not know about supercooled water although I was a Physics major. And my Physics Professor’s PhD was in fluid dynamics. I assure you this are not a wetwork joke.
Mangled grammar is a strict entry barred sign of most of my essays. At least when I catch these mistakes. Look the point of grammar mistakes ought to be strategic. In the sense that if skip a word then there is a longer term play at hand. However, a lot of the mistakes on this essay seem to be tactical - they simply want you to do a double take and re-read the sentence for import and meaning.
Would I like to talk about supercooled water? Hail yeah, you wood. This virus or whatever has afflicted me this past few days has caused me to lose all inhibitions. I no longer get hard. It’s a relief really, because when I do get hard, it’s other people’s erections. Hey Doc. Yeah I know, we need to get back to working on WheelShare. I will, as soon as my head stops hurting. Sorry, mangled sentences and mangled grammar are a deadly one-two combo. Am I betting on a holiday? Hail yeah. You know matches are fixed right? You know that right? Full Disclosure: do your own research, not responsible for losses on sports betting.
If pols are like game show hosts then UFC fighters on fixed matches are like… _____________________________________________________________________________…
Trust me the T-shirt from this post will not sell.
You will be able to wear it on base and no one will notice.
No not yet. As of right now and I mean right fuckign now people from the US are spending 1 hour and 12 minutes on this site. The other countries are doing lesser and the average time spent is 48 minutes and 35 seconds. Mathematically this implies a preponderance of US visitors but only slightly. Love you Ireland. lol
Supercooled water. Right. It’s an altitude thing. I was 54 years old when I found out on July 7th 2026 that water only freezes at 0 degrees celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit because of dust or other surface area surrounding the water. Something to do with latent heat transfer. In other words there has to be something solid that the water can freeze around. If the very high reaches of the uppermost atmosphere there sometimes isn’t any dust and very cold temperatures. Under such conditions the true freezing point of water is typically where Fahrenheit meets Celsius around -40 (meaning the temperature is -40 in both). The ultimate physical limit for supercooled water is \(-55^{\circ }\text{F}\) (\(-48.3^{\circ }\text{C}\)). This phenomenon was first described in 1724 by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, while developing the Fahrenheit scale.
It’s also known as undercooled water.
Did they teach you the history of the Fahrenheit scale in high school? I didn’t know any of this. The British system of education for the Commonwealth never ceases to amaze me only by the negative space it leaves. Water covers 71% of visible earth while 60% of the average human body is also water and yet… hail. Can I hail a WheelShare cab for us laddies?
Truth and Trust have no value.
One last thing: water rises high, some of it develops into a hail embryo, super cooled water condenses around it and that’s why hail has opaque white spots as it gets bounced around in the atmosphere. If it gets bounced around a lot the hail is …. smaller?
Yeap.
