@AmpBenzScientist deflagrate just means a chain reaction of heat.. its a broader category than an explosion. Almost anything that burns is deflating. A campfire is deflagration. Its nothing special.

@yellowbeard

Sure can, and will.

@realcaseyrollins @lavaender

@AmpBenzScientist When/if something is deflagrating then it isnt endothermic by definition.

With that said you would be right there are some sort of edge cases where an explosion can actually result in cooling rather than heating. A pressurized tank at room temperature suddenly cracking open would cause an explosion that would cool down as the gas expands.

@travis

Does hating all humans make me racist against all races by inclusion?

@realcaseyrollins @lavaender

@AmpBenzScientist No not necessarily. Not all explosions need to be a combustion and not all explosions produce H2O or CO2. Some do fit that description of course.

@realcaseyrollins

NVM found the poa.st racism. Yea thats some racist shit too.

@lavaender @poast

@realcaseyrollins

In this case my impression is that @lavaender is a raging racist (bear in mind im native american so I say that as someone he doesnt seem to be targeting)... like yea thats a shit show level of racism right there.

I dont see any replies by @poast in there though so cant comment on their racism, if any.

@realcaseyrollins

Agreed, only dating people of a certain race or only be attracted to them is perfectly fine whether its whites, blacks or any other category. Thats not racism to me.

But yea, literal racism against whites or any other group is equally as bad IMO.

@lavaender @poast

@realcaseyrollins

Makes sense.

@lavaender @poast

@realcaseyrollins

I do the same, I dont mute or block due to being an admin.

@lavaender @poast

@lavaender

Well at least you admit that is as valid a form of racism as any other... more than what most people racist against whites will do.. so I guess there is that. Still not cool though.

@realcaseyrollins @poast

@realcaseyrollins

Oh you mean the whole instance.. ok im up to speed now :)

There is no shortage of cesspool instances on the fediverse.. best to just block them and move on, wont be the last time.

@lavaender @poast

@realcaseyrollins

Oh i see, so they are calling you low-IQ and other things because your black and being racist.. got it.

By the way when I go to view the poast account I just get an error.

@lavaender @poast

@realcaseyrollins

I'm so confused, if lavaender found poast racist why would he say YOU have a low IQ... also by the sound of your response here you may have miss spoke and it is poast who found lavaender racist?

@lavaender @poast

@deesapoetra

I lost touch with most of my high school friends (though i went from 10th grade to University so I only had less than half the normal time in high school)... Still I miss them too.

Actually click is not slang at all, nor is it spelled that way (though it is pronounced that way). The word you are looking for is "clique". It is proper and formal english and means a closely connected group (socially speaking a group where every member is a friend with every other, and usually exclusive to new members). It does not relate to stereotypes either.

The term is actually so formal it is even used in math to represent a group of things where each thing knows about every other directly. This is often used in Graph Theory to represent a subgraph or graph that is fully connected (every node connects to every other node).

@lucifargundam Probably the only way we can prep americans to transition to metric :)

@Q_uantumB

That makes no sense.. for starters if you saved 5K, 10K or any amount it wont be significantly effected by inflation unless you hold onto it for decades, which is a pretty irresponsible way to save for retirement or long-term.

Second, the idea that 5k or 10k is too little to invest in value generating assets make no sense either. Even an extremely safe mutual fund is value generating and typically many orders of magnitude beyond loss due to inflation. Moreover for most mutual funds you can invest in it in rather small increments (100$ or even less). So no reason not to do this.

In fact the vast majority of middle class do exactly this. Little old ladies in nursing homes arent living off saving from 50 years ago, they are living off their 401K or roth IRA. You will never hear your banker who advices you on long-term savings for retirement or other purposes to keep large amounts of money as cash for long periods of time.

Literally inflation is helping exactly the type of person you describe, people with 5K or 10K saving for retirement in a retirement fun (which is usually roth IRA or 401K).

I am going to start using metric prefixes on discrete countable objects because I can...

"Yea we had a huge turnout at concert, there were 2.3 Kilopeople there!"
