Totally. I bet they could have saved two seconds if they'd have ran to the back of the store first, snapping up the merch as they made their escape through the point of entry, rather than lugging full armloads through from the back.
I see those fucking musical birthday cards, and now this, and I wonder what kind of metals are in those little batteries. We're not poisoning the land fills any more for this crap, are we?
There's a lot of carbon here and it likes to form bonds. Why can't we accept that amino acids formed independently here, away from comets and such? The theory of abiogenesis doesn't need a comet to bring us glycine. Occam's razor
Light does not bounce off a mirror differently based on its color.
Not normally, no. But that's the diffraction I'm describing; light of certain wavelengths bouncing at unequal angles of incidence and reflection where a mirror is grated - ie, light bouncing off a mirror differently based on its color
You misunderstand. It was designed to read laser pulses perpendicular to the disc. The diffraction occurs at non-perpendicular angles to the light. The diffraction has nothing to do with how the disc works; it's a side effect of the groove spacing. And if you need more proof of this effect on single surface mirrors, I suggest you look into how holograms work (the kind stickered to comic books, not the "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi" kind)
Yes, thank you, except the same diffraction will indeed occur on a FSM if the reflective surface is scratched away on a similar scale to that of cd groove spacing
This article is about chemical energy. The implications of E=mc^2 on mass changes in chemical reaction are so miniscule that it's rarely even detectable. Someone brought it up like it's really relevant here, and it just isn't.
Yes, GP has yet to learn that everything he thought he knew has an insignificant, misunderstood, or even fictional exception or corollary that someone on/. will definitely call him out on.
Lithium does not tend to explode violently in the air. Not even sodium will explode just sitting in the air. Both will, however, oxidize rapidly, being sensitive to moisture as the summary correctly states.
That may be true per volume, as atoms are bigger as you go down the periodic table, but the chemist in me says that you will get more bang out of the same number of atoms using cesium. Don't make me break out the enthalpies of formation tables...

...with blackjack! And hookers. In fact, forget the lunar lander.
Like a balloon, and...something bad happens!

An amino acid isn't life; it's just an organic molecule.

Well, if you like the kid, sure..
Now, Mg.Ca-CO3 (dolomite limestone) is largely as stable or more stable than pure limestone, and certainly harder...
That's dolomite, baby.
Sheesh. I remember when they said 640 keV would be enough for anybody.
and if you want to get rid of all of them, dab the lenses with a soft cotton towel.
Or use distilled water as the final rinse.
My rigid plastic lenses eventually develop small scratches no matter how careful you are.
Sorry. I'll be more careful in the future.
I have no idea what any of those words mean. Can someone explain TFS?

Also, the diffraction on a cd would occur without the plastic layer. Not sure you were saying it wouldn't, or not, just playing safe
Yes, thank you, except the same diffraction will indeed occur on a FSM if the reflective surface is scratched away on a similar scale to that of cd groove spacing
Mirrors do have chromatic abberation. If you don't believe me, just observe the data side of a cd under light.
Fox studios and Fox network are separate entities and have seperate powers as the Bender's Big Score commentary mentions

They deliver pizza now!?

Oops, per volume, as well as per mass, of course.
