As I was thinking about going for a greasy kebab I started wondering how healthily do SFN users live? Since this is a very broad topic I was thinking of having the main focus on dietary habits with a touch of recreational... substances. Personally, I probably drink less alcohol than I literally burn (ethanol and boric acid makes for a neat green flame). I think I last had a drink like 3 months ago. I don't smoke, and have never done any recreational drugs. I do eat quite a bit of fast food (burgers, pizza or such usually around three times a week) and drink around a liter of soft drinks a day. And as mentioned in another thread I should really exercise more. So, does swansont eat Luther Burgers for breakfast? Does Phi for All eat huge buckets of chocolate ice cream when no-one's watching? Come on, let it all out.

Done. Not the worst survey in the world.

Badger mushroom snake! Cats with poor grammar as well. Internet memes, lol. --- Hey, Captain Picard! Did you buy some pink fur dice for the Enterprise? --- I need to get a job. Too much time spent on chatting and Team Fortress 2. --- Your spaceship melted? You were going really fast? Talk to Bill Unruh. --- The Fat of the Land. Diesel Power blows your mind. The Prodigy rocks.

One method is taking the square root of the second equation and moving the x to the other side you'll find that [math]y = \sqrt{61} - x[/math]. Thus the first equation can be expressed as [math]-x^2 + x(\sqrt{61}) - 10 = 0[/math] ...which is a quadratic equation and is easily solved using the quadratic formula. (Since the [math]b[/math] in the formula's "[math]b^2[/math]" is conveniently [math]\sqrt{61}[/math] it might imply that the question was formed with the quadratic formula in mind. )

When debating things one must always remember "And so is your face!" --- Oh how I hate pine! The rancid smell of deceit fills me with dark rage. --- Talking to God? Fine. What, God is talking to you? Here, medication. --- Have a mint, have two! A carbonated drink? No! Oh, you exploded. --- Getting addicted. Rehabilitation time? Damned little poems!

Surprisingly enough at least the use of such devices is covered quite extensively. There's actually a special mention about detonating nuclear devices in the Antarctic, at least in Finnish law. So if someone is tired of waiting for the icecaps to melt you can't hasten the process with nuclear weapons without breaking the law, sorry.

I don't think I could recognize it, but I suppose I could try to catch every squirrel in the forest and then proceed to systematically drink each specimen's urine. Btw that "reindeer urine trip" thing was rather popular amongst Finnish shamans as far as I know.

Chemistry is mostly about ions having binded with each other or polar molecules in a solution, but I suppose if you had a neutral atom and a -1 ion in a container the one with more electronegativity would end up having the electron... if you had a contained, heated plasma mixture with a negative net charge (excess electrons), I'd imagine the atoms with low electronegativities would be mostly neutral when the plasma has cooled down. If you had some sort of hypothetical (since helium doesn't really bind with anything) helium-fluorine compound, let's say HeF2 (where a He+2 and two F- have binded together), you could electrolyze it to get fluorine and helium gas. And as big314mp said, a free He+2 radical is pretty eager to grab any electrons it encounters, even off other atoms. This is evidenced in nuclear alpha decay, where a helium nucleus (in this case two neutrons, two protons, thus having +2 charge) is shot out, which then proceeds to ionize the medium it travels through.

Peroxides are weird. Some of the organic ones blow your limbs clean off. --- If only I had money for a neat laser! Pew pew, vaporize! --- Quadruple bypass? Cheeseburgers, Big Macs and fries! I love McDonald's!

A few days back I noticed some fly agaric mushrooms growing in my backyard. Today around 40 minutes ago I looked out the window and saw a squirrel running from the nearby forest. The squirrel then briefly munched on a fly agaric, picked it up and ran away with it. Fly agarics contain muscimol which seems to be quite toxic to rats and mice at least and I'd imagine it could be a psychoactive to them as well. I wonder if this squirrel was a narcomaniac? Or just ignorant of the fact that the mushroom could be his/her last meal?

Like in Judaism (and probably quite a few other religions) if fasting would pose a danger to your health you'd be exempt from it though.

How does the current "world view" affect the mathematical definition of a point?

You can "mess" with the protons (not that it's of too much interest in the context of chemistry), but if a helium nucleus was to gain two protons it would not be a helium nucleus at all, but a beryllium nucleus. But your point stands, in chemistry a non-zero electrical charge basically means that the atom or molecule has lost (positive charge) or gained (negative charge) electrons. As electrons aren't too hard to move around with processes like electrolysis it's rather easy to make ions or to convert ions back into neutral atoms/molecules.

Yikes! I didn't even know such a worm existed. The description sounds like something from a scifi-horror movie. Well, good riddance to them. Ex-presidents in general seem pretty enthusiastic about helping foreign nations. Aside from normally being esteemed diplomats afterwards, I wonder if there's some sort of "I've had enough of these buggers" mentality regarding their own country.

Oh grubbleblotches Haiku thread; Reincarnate! Like zombie Jesus.

I recall the dark times when I saw such a machine at a local burger place. As I gazed upon its ungodly, black steel skeleton and shiny acrylic screen I fell down on my knees and screamed: "This be the work of Satan, the Dark Prince himself for no machine worthy in the eyes of the Lord shalt dispense both snack and drink alike!" (On the topic of coconuts, coconut chocolate is freaking horrible and tastes a bit like evil and sewage)

A rather accurate description, but looking at the economy I'm not sure about the "rich"... Bah, people are just polite enough to occasionally stoop to your level and mock you in your own language. It's not like English is that universal. Should the Finnish inquisition catch me speaking or writing English I could be sentenced to twelve years in jail followed by execution through simultaneous stoning, burning, drowning and hanging. And nobody expects the Finnish inquisition!

Soda and snacks from one vending machine? Witchcraft! Blasphemy!

I think the best moment today was when I watched MythBusters while eating a healthy meal consisting of coke, fries, garlic dip, a Big Mac and two cheeseburgers.

Probably that the ratio approaches pi as the number of sides increase? Edit: Oh, Vts apparently answered already (sort of). But as noted before, the discussed subject concerns the mathematical concept of a circle rather than any physical body that actually exists.

So you people pay crazy amounts of money for being able to study at an university and that doesn't even include the books? It's like a Crazy Express to Crazytown!

The United States is like one of those confused, non-conformist high school kids who seem to fight the system just for the sake of fighting, hoping to look really badass.

Waking up I suppose.

You like MC Hammer and you "can't touch" astatine?

And if they keep the cookies without increasing your rep you can always throw more cookies through the window to attract insects inside. These insects will eventually attract spiders which in turn attract arachnologists. The admins will think twice before not giving you extra rep when they come home only to find that their house is filled with geeky and unhygienic arachnologists.
