DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

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!

I just like how it looks like the pillars of creation 💟

YEAST FOR THE BREAD POST

A bread is one of the most vulnerable animals on earth of all time. It can die in a number of different ways, which include being smashed, being old, being rottened, being crumpled up, getting too hot, having water put on it, and having water not on it but being in the air a lot (the water (mist)). The bread’s favorite way to die is being eaten, but the world is a complicated place, and it does not care for what the bread wants, and so it dies in a variety of ways which are not the preference of the bread.

Humans are considered the bread’s natural predator, and also, are the bread’s mommy (make/give birth to the bread). Humans are a large species of ant or plant or ele phant with two grasping appendages which they use to give birth to the bread. They also have one hole which eats the bread, and some other holes, which the bread is not allowed near, generally.

Some bread can go in the fridge. Some bread has fruit in it. Scientists don’t know why, as putting fruit in the bread is considered yucky, and scientists have difficulty imagining an organism that likes yucky things.

There is the anteater, which is an organism that likes yucky things, but scientists do not need to imagine it, because it is real.

sometimes someone will casually mention using chatgpt or some other generative ai thing and I can actually feel the little

He's done :)

I'll never be able to get a picture as good as that first one (I tried)
