I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.
I think they’re amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there’s nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I’d be a hobby pyrotechnician.
Pretty sure funding has been approved and it’s going to be back up and running again.
I’ve been in the facilities where they make these. Had to wash my hands like 5 times at separate stations before being allowed on the floor.
Correct. It’s a deflagrarion reaction. Unless there’s some kind of new extra spicy decoy flare I’m not aware of.
You weren’t tempted to try the reindeer piss method?
Depending on the salt you can make both blue and green. Copper sulphate flame test is a pretty common school lab practical isn’t it?
Also, scroll up to see Alan, the dude behind Valve’s Lighthouse tracking tech for VR. And now I just realised it’s >20 years since I first browsed his awesome hobby website Alan’s Lab.
The way the buoys calm the wind in their wake to glass is really neat. Nice capture.
I don’t have notifications on but that doesn’t sound great. I can see that making sense if I was travelling a lot but not in normal use.
I use 1Weather, because it’s the Baconreader devs and it also happens to be an awesome weather app!
Twatt.
Some experience of the UK system, I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK recently for what I consider (and any reasonable person would) to be an emergency. Both times I was told it would be about 4 hours wait and could I get someone to drive me to the hospital. My partner has been phoning her GP to try and get an appointment for over two weeks and keeps getting told to phone back ‘in a few days’ because they have nothing available for over a month, including phone consultation. I’ve experienced dangerous ineptitude from multiple NHS doctors. I’ve also seen corruption in that if you know someone who works in the right department you can jump queues. So I’ve learned from experience to go private if I actually need medical aid.
Evidence existing is a very low bar, It’s when it’s proved beyond reasonable doubt that it stops being a theory.
Fuck Shetland and the entire south coast
Tempted to comment critically on the build but I’m gonna be kind and just say it looks delicious. And suggest a pinch of nutmeg and cayenne pepper in the cheese sauce.
Recently did a road trip through Europe and saw loads of 440ml cans in the Netherlands and France, less so in Belgium and Germany where it seems to be mostly bottled.
Best year of my life, got over my ex of 20 years leaving me, GME happened, met my now fiancé, got paid for not doing any work for a few months then quit my job.
You missed one-eyed Egyptian.
