The alkali metals get more strongly reactive the higher their atomic number.

I thought it was the other way around. Thanks for correcting me.

You’d need multiple people. Or a very quick upload schedule.

Why is it safer to lick Lithium than Caesium?

Radon is a gas. I’d like to see you lick that. Same for the halogens, the noble gases, nitrogen, oxygen hydrogen and probably some I forgot.

Insurance prevents people from hoarding money that they would need in case of a (personal) disaster to rebuild/repair/re-purchase their losses. If you know insurance will cover your house if it ever burns down, you spend the money, which helps the economy.

It’s way too slow for what it does. IRC clients from 20 years ago were able to switch between chats instantly. The user status (online, offline, etc.) is so inaccurate it might as well be random.

Well, late evening is the only time you’ll get to see your friends who have kids for an extended period of time.

Be the change yadda yadda

Thank God we only eat the bod… never mind.

But at least we don’t touch chil… I’ll see myself out.

Not all chemistry ‘works better’ at higher temperatures

I was referring to Arrhenius’ equation. Of course that doesn’t apply anymore when you reach denaturation temperatures. Very high fevers are deadly.

Is that a new speedrunning category? How often can you beat the game before the battery runs out?

High temperature isn’t there to kill pathogens. Instead it’s there to help the immune system, because biochemistry (chemistry in general) works better in higher temperatures.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just checked the German Wikipedia article. Apparently there are several ‘levels’ of pasteurization ranging from 70°C through 150°C. Since I’ve only encountered the kill-all-that-has-ever-lived kind (UHT), I assumed that’s what everyone does.

Depends on how you look at it. Raw milk spoils at the same pace as [Edit: ultra-]pasteurized milk. Only for raw milk the counter starts ticking once the milk leaves the cow, whereas [Edit: ultra-]pasteurized milk remains sterile until you open the package.

I wish I had at least paint skills to do this.

What does this image have to do with money?

It’s more fun this way. The stark contrast between a happy children’s show and a very dark subliminal plot makes for good humor.
