Sketchelium - Stuff I Think Is Cool

I'm making a cloak for myself but the hood looks way too good on my bee friend 🥺

God I wish it were 2008. Then I could buy some new lps and maybe even a house

This guy is perfect because he is only spines and fins. That's all you need really. Which one should I do next >>

stickers and such:

Okay now if I don't bring the laundry upstairs my cats will die

(cat tax)

(yes all of my hobbies include stuff that my cats will hapily eat)

If I can recommend you do 1 low-effort thing for the love of God it is this:

Keep 5 cards in your pocket. One will say "yes", the second will say "no."

If you lose your voice, or lose speech, or want to make a dramatic embellishment at the right time, it is an elegant and efficient solution that is right there at hand.

But what if people question you from there? "Why do you have that card? Why would you do this? How long have you had that in your pocket?" For this, or whatever else they say, the third card: "I don't have a card for that."

"What the fuck," they ask. They laugh. They are bemused. You bring the energy back down with the fourth card: "I have laryngitis. I've lost speech. My throat hurts". Whatever you expect to occur.

The joke is over. Rule of threes. Now they are curious. They wonder about logistics. "How did you know I would say that? Is everyone so predictable?"

As a three-part bit, nobody ever sees the fifth card coming.

"I have powerful wizard magics."

Gets them every time

Plesioth is next up to be httyd-ified, but progress is a little slow due to this man putting stuff in his mouth that he shouldn't

This is the only bleach content you'll ever get out of me (probably)

Wordplay Wednesday: Metal

Today we are going to talk about the word metal. Now, this may seem silly, if I say the word metal, I bet a few come to mind: gold,

silver,

iron,

but what makes something a metal?

 A metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals can be chemical elements like the ones I mentioned earlier, alloys like brass

or steel

or a molecular compound like silver nitrate.

Most metals have a shiny, metallic luster when polished or fractured and most are opaque. Metals tend to be more dense than nonmetals but that density varies widely between different types.

There are several groups of metals. Alkali metals are highly reactive metals with low melting points and are so soft they can be cut with a knife. These includes Lithium, sodium and potassium.

Alkaline earth metals are a little less reactive, harder and have a higher melting point than alkali metals. Due to their reactivity, they seldom appear in their pure form. Metals in this group include calcium, barium and magnesium.

Transition metals are what we traditionally think of as metals. They are hard, strong, shiny and easy to shape. This group includes gold, iron, and platinum.

Post-transition metals are fairly soft with low boiling points. This group includes aluminum, tin and bismuth.

Finally, we have noble metals. This group is pure and nonreactive so they don’t form compounds. This makes them perfect for jewelry and coins. This group includes copper, silver and rhodium. (You'll notice those are all transition metals).

Tune in tomorrow to learn about a chemist who made a huge difference in being able to categorize metals and their neighbors. Fossilize you later!
