One of the cool “inventions” of the 19th century were Geissler's low-pressure gas tubes, very similar to today's neon tubes. They soon became a toy to have at any self-respecting high society party.

As an ex-gas meter inspector that’s super common. It’s been a couple years since I performed that job but at the time it wasn’t even considered a fault.

You know what else was common? Ash trays at the gas meter. The one that’s supposed to burp if there was a pressure spike. Yep!

Mark the electrician has been here for five minutes and he’s already said “well that’s…weird” twice from the other room and frankly I’m afraid to ask.

This image of the Horsehead Nebula from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope focuses on a portion of the horse’s “mane” that is about 0.8 light-years in width. It was taken with Webb’s NIRCam (Near-infrared Camera). The ethereal clouds that appear blue at the bottom of the image are dominated by cold, molecular hydrogen. Red-colored wisps extending above the main nebula represent mainly atomic hydrogen gas.

Green energy is all about control, not about the good it brings.

As always, never buy anything made in china. Don't ever trust a democrat and NEVER leave your child alone with one.

Kamala Harris Tax Proposals

[syoddeye]

asking the 141, los vaqueros, kate, nik, farah, or alex to watch your drink.

cw: obvs alcohol mention

price. places a coaster over it and continues on with his conversation. one guy approaches, but before he can even open his mouth, price shoots him a glare. (poor fella was just gonna ask him to move so he could reach the jukebox.)

gaz. hand over heart, honored to be asked. sneaks a sip though, because 1) it looks delicious and 2) indirect kiss. when he hands it back, he taps his cheek once. pay up.

soap. licks the condensation off the glass as a joke, i licked it so it’s mine, only to make it too slippery to hold. drops it. shatters the glass. red-faced and muttering when you come back to a new drink. it’s completely different.

ghost. he seems to take it seriously and covers it with his whole hand. hands it back with a finger dipped into it and smirks.

alejandro. steals a sip, immediately winces at the cheaper liquor. gets you a new drink. the same one, top shelf, on his tab. immediately asks if you taste the difference.

rudy. oh he’s quietly thrilled you asked, but he acts like he’s not watching it. because he’s kind of daring someone to even glance the wrong way at your drink.

kate. agrees to, and orders the guys to grab a water for you, too. teases you about your taste in liquor/beer, and offers to order you her favorite to try.

nik. you don’t ask anyone to watch your drink, but nothing escapes nik. without pausing his conversation, he grabs your glass and sets it next to his. affectionately scolds you when you return.

farah. she actually offers when you get up to go to the bathroom. she’s not too worried about anything happening, the two of you can handle yourselves. she orders you a snack to share, and grins when it arrives just as you sit back down.

alex. giddy you asked him, he likes that you feel safe with him. smiles the whole goddamn time he’s holding it, too. but he drops it when he goes to hand it back. pays for the replacement.

Physicists at the University of Bonn and the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) have created a one-dimensional gas out of light. This has enabled them to test theoretical predictions about the transition into this exotic state of matter for the first time. The method used in the experiment by the researchers could be used for examining quantum effects. The results have been published in Nature Physics. Imagine you are standing at a swimming pool and come up with the idea of filling it with even more water. You grab a garden hose and use it to generate a jet of water that curves in a high arc to fall onto the surface of the pool. The water level increases briefly at the point where the jet of water hits the pool, but this change in water level is only minimal because the falling water is quickly distributed across the entire expanse of water.
