so my salsa froze.

I'm hungry. My salsa is frozen. Who messed with the temperature in my fridge?

No, I think it's my wife who does, since I'm the one who does her cleaning.


He's actually got brownies, but if he tells anyone about them, they'll leave. Notice the words "I think," which gives him wiggle room if we find out it's not actually his wife and he does in fact have fae helpers.

You're obviously not that hungry, or you'd be busy eating your salsa popsicle.

Most of my high school friends have moved away, didn't make a lot of friends in college, and I see my work friends enough during work, so I don't do a whole lot of things outside of the house. Probably have seen my highschool friends once or twice since new years, if that. I have prior commitments twice this summer (family events). Guess when my highschool friends have parties? Both times, out of the whole summer, that I can't make it ranting.gif

...I can't tell if you have this backwards or not.

But I don't have brownies. Wish I did. I have to do the dishes myself. Of course, if I did I wouldn't be able to tell you, or they'd go away. But there's no such restriction on if you don't have them. So anyone who refuses to confirm or deny might have them.

I've always wondered how they took brownies from folklore and decided to make them throw people off balance. You'd think they'd be like passive cleanse or nature rain.

Probably had a set of fae, and a set of functions, and matched up the few that matched, and then just lined up the rest arbitrarily.

93% humidity where I live right now.

That's what Hampton Roads does in June and July: It rains for brief periods about every other day, then the sun bakes it all into face-stomping humidity and raises the temperature to 90-100 degrees.

Aha! I've got you beat at 94% humidity.

...kill meeeeee

For the first time ever, it's far more pleasant to live in Georgia during the middle of Summer, than it is to live in Yankee-ville.

The weather says it's 84% humidity here, but, it's raining. So, wouldn't that be closer to 100%? dunno.gif

No, actually. Humidity and rainfall are not as simply correlated as that.

If you get past 100% humidity, wouldn't the air turn to water?

100% Humidity would be when you're at the point of Condensation I believe. Less rain, more dew.

100% humidity would be when the air is fully saturated and will hold no more water. This isn't the same as being totally water. It's like mixing sugar or salt into water. It will dissolve until a certain amount, then after that it will just sit on the bottom. Unless you heat the water, at which point it will hold more in solution. Pretty sure the atmosphere works the same way, which is why you notice the humidity a lot more on hot days; cold air doesn't hold as much water.

I said past 100% humidity. Sort of like how we can't really know what happens past the event horizon of a black hole.

My friend invited me to go play D&D with them next week. So I figure, why not? Can't hurt. But I have no idea how to play, or even get started, or anything, I've never done this before! Uh, I'm just kind of staring at this character sheet thing and the book all like, what? And occasionally I prod at it in uncertainty and recoil like a caveman who just discovered fire.

crazy.gif I'm so bad at things like this. Ahhh!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersaturation

Supersaturated air would spontaneously precipitate water when disturbed, so if you walked outside into it you'd end up soaked.

Everyone else in my house was too, until I laid exclusive claim to the kitchen and started cooking.

It was an uphill fight, to be sure. First, they were all like "MMM, WASN'T THAT GOOD AND EASY?" Gradually, it turned into interest in what random meal I'd whip up with the random scraps of raw ingredients we happened to have on hand. Then, when they "cooked" because I was busy, they started to look really sad and guilty when they offered me microwave food. Now they at least cook from a box when I'm not cooking (which is rare, but fine, because I like cooking), which still doesn't really count, but it's much better than microwaved meatloaf that tastes like ketchup and lard with a side of bland microwaved canned potatoes.


Totally delayed but man I really need to do this.

It's a shame we're poor and I don't even know how to work with raw ingredients half the time.
