"for every atom belonging to me as good as belongs to you"

from the fic iron oxide (i am once again telling you to read it)

I'm running backwards up a halfpipe/pos

Welcome to the game, Daneilla (Danny)Darling! I’m still working on her main-world design, so her Space Riders fit is all I have for now. I’m almost done though! I think y’all will like her!

Anyways, Danny is a young Aerospace Welder and Engineer, and lives on the Intergalactic Emergency Sub-Station: a company, and space station dedicated to preserving life and safe travel through the cosmos. When she’s not traveling with other crews as an on-call engineer for dangerous voyages, Danny is dispatched across worlds to complete maintenance checkups on passing ships and other space stations.

Personally, Danny is a flexible, relaxed young woman with a steady hand and a quick mind. She loves her job, and she’s not working or napping, she enjoys dancing and debating silly questions like weather there are more wheels or doors in the world (she will always say wheels). She isn’t put on the front lines often, considering her lack of supernatural abilities, but her cunning and resourcefulness always keeps her opponents guessing. Her favorite drink is Horchata!

Alt ref and close ups!

the latest in a long line of D&D characters ! ! ! please meet outis, my archaic warforged paladin ! ! ! they were originally built to find patterns in chaos and help guide travelers through hazardous places where rules are few and far between, though a recent expedition gone awry seems to have put an end to its career

even still, they're still on a journey to some place far, far away, though no one seems to know where—least of all outis w

You ever just read a fic from a side of a fandom you haven't seen before because you've never heard of it until now and then you read the whole thing and it alters your brain chemistry and you'll never recover from this ?

Ammonia induction strategy for preparation of transition metal oxides / zeolite H₂S adsorbent

Blast furnace gas (BFG) is an important by-product energy for the iron and steel industry and has been widely used for heating and electricity generation. However, the undesirable contaminants, such as COS, CS2, and H2S, in BFG generate harmful environmental emissions. Due to the stringent ultra-low emission standards, the desulfurization of BFG is urgent for integrated steel plants. Compared with other desulfurization materials, zeolite-based adsorbents represent a viable option with low costs and long service life. However, the sulfur capacity of zeolite is relatively low and needs to improve. Impregnation of transition metal oxides onto zeolite is a common strategy to prepare H2S adsorbent. However, this method usually results in the agglomeration of metal particles during calcination, forming relatively large metal particles. The large metal particle may increase the gas diffusion resistance in adsorbent and inhibit the desulfurization performance. Therefore, minimizing the metal particles on zeolite with a high loading is the key to the preparation of an adsorbent with high sulfur capacity.

I just need everyone who has never smelled elemental selenium to know it smells so terrible. really awful experience.

OC-tober day 31!! Costume!

The pals be trick-o-treatin' round the Calmford town dressed as the wonderful wizard of Oz!

edit: if you like, please consider reblogging, thank you

many (many, many...) moons ago, there was a talk about Arthur smithing bands for the three of them on his own (perhaps inspired by that video of someone turning a hex nut into a ring?)

i found this in the donation center and whoops I might need to add some more items to his display... and also possibly block out a new fic idea in the tags... ;>

some sketches!! go read iron oxide rn

Back on my bullshit--

Random thoughts-

- The reason I give Alien!Cody a somewhat "dead" looking skin tone is because he has green blood- at least, that's what I picked up from the Area-52 episode.

The color of your blood is going to affect your skin color. You can tell when your blood hasn't gotten enough oxygen cause it gives your skin a sort-of bluish discoloration.

I do wonder...what sort of atmosphere his home planet would have. Or what metals and chemicals make up his blood. Human blood has iron in it, which is why it turns red. What kind of metals turn green? Copper? And what would make it glow? Has it always glowed, or did it gain its glow from whatever experiments Area 52 did on him? Was he exposed to radiation?

- Bro, what if I fuck shit up and just destroy his home planet--- pffft, nah. But there's no doubt in my mind that the idea absolutely bothers him. We don't know how long he was in that warehouse.

Cody: So uh...what'll you do once you get home?

Clone: If I get home, you mean?

Cody: Sure, let's be pessimistic about it.

Clone: Not pessimistic. Realistic. How do I know I even have a home to go to?

Cody: You don't. The logical conclusion would be to not make up answers for questions you don't know the answer to...right?

Clone: Tch...humans are anything but logical.

Cody: *sigh* Won't argue with you there.

Clone: But no...you're not wrong.

Me, remembering that pill bugs can filter heavy metals from soil:

My brain: You know what this means, don’t you?

Me: What-

My brain: You can make talpaedans part pill bug-

Me, working on amperi headcanons: Wait LET ME FINI-

I’ve gone over a few times that I like to think that talpaedans are techno-organic, less so being silicon or silicone based beings but being an integration of organic carbon materials and the more industrialised physiology of being a walking talking construction equipment. I have also previously made use of the whole ‘machine’ aspect of their natural biology to not only consider them as burrowers, but also as ant-like burrowers with haplodiplody, this form of sex-determination system being used to expand the combinations of construction equipment that an individual talpaedan might have, but also as a basis of which I form the sociopolitical building of talpaedan cities, in which case we have large city state colonies of ant inspired pangolins recreating feudalism Europe of the 10th-13th century.

But up - until this point - there was not quite a lot of circumstances that would allow for actual metallic components to not only present itself biologically but also do so naturally, so with the heavy metal eating pill bug there’s a source of extra inspiration. Oniscidae (apparently the more accurate name for pill bugs/rollie pollies and literally any name under the sun) can remove arsenic (which is actually a metalloid), cadmium, lead, and depending on sources also mercury from the soil; additional metals that can be extracted from soil are copper and zinc. The pill bug in question would crystallise these ions in their gut and create spherical deposits within them, but since we are not talking about the isopod alone surely it isn’t too much of a stretch to the idea that perhaps talpaedans can use these deposits within themselves to feed into the development of their most notable features, their built in equipment?

Assuming that Poiana Lüncas has these metals and that talpaedans would in fact filter for them, in real world human employed Earth uses of these metals can indeed be of fine use. Both arsenic and cadmium can be used as alloys and zinc specifically can galvanise other metals such as iron to prevent rusting, very significant indeed in industry, notably especially with large amounts of zinc can be used in hardware industries. Copper has a very notable use in electronics and wiring of which motors are included, let alone more refined wiring in TVs and radio. And argueably the more infamous of these metals (at least to a standard ‘basic’ level of understanding) we have mercury and lead, the former being used in many different industries for it’s ability to measure the change in temperature and pressure, and the latter for some solders, gasoline/petroleum and wonderfully hazardous cosmetic items that uninformed humanity has come to be harmed by.

ngl, spent a bit of time trying to find an oxygen-carrier of these metals that can feasibly make black blood but i literally do not know if the colour of oxides is in any way relevant to how oxygen-carrier bloodcells would actually be coloured as i’m not a chemist

But in highlighting these metals, I am not simply looking to see if a techno-organic talpaedan can have galvanised armour nor if they come built in with blood pressure monitors. No no no, I am saying more than what talpaedans eat but also what metals can talpaedans have easy access to in the development of technology, and how one might say that actually interacts with the ant-psychology of utterly fucking despising other colony.

Well-

Let’s say that google might be a little concerned about me learning about elements used in the construction of ammunition and radiation protection ehek-!

With the earth tilling that many developing talpaedans need to incorporate necessary metals into their diet, depending on the availabilty of said metals they may be an over abundance for food alone; especially with the pressure of competition of resources in combination with a general disdain for anything extracolonial, a factor that may lead to an escalation of tech development. There is an inherent baseline for technology in talpaedans that would already give their industrialisation a boost, in addition to the materials that may vary on quantity based on the region, colony size, and general population needs. Before long there are city states reinforcing their own barriers and expanding their borders for more and more materials - to consume and to create - to in fact increase and increase the tension between colonies so loud to the point pressure spills like a broken thermometer spills mercury and conflicts arise.

And when everything boils over do they realise that many have to balance the act of raising young and building more weapons, the factor that may in fact be the tipping point to realise that the colonies with the most resources are not only a threat but a threat that can overwhelm on the technological scale and the population number. In spite of how many colonies may indeed hate each other, it is more than worth it to them to compromise and in fact LIVE rather than be caught between the suddenly unveiling superpowers of the world that had previously lay unknown thanks to willful ignorance. Decimation of land is significantly reduced from cataclysmic to catastrophic as entire colonies are rased and in fact dug out into craters, many war-era alliances held to the modern day of Poiana Lüncas. A tithing - remnants of the treaties formed at the peak of desperation - of the youngest generation of adult men stands as both tradition and of appeasement, a colony trade and marriage across many different colonial alliances as a symbol of what had to be done before, sharing resources and rearing while the soldiers fought to live.

And all of this because they got a pill bug diet see this is why ants aren’t allowed to have materials for megaton bombs smh 😞

i just need to put it out there that i'm disappointed by the costume quality from what i've seen of the fallout show

they really couldn't get any better paint for the power armor? they went hard on the vault set design, but they had to settle for some "cheap silver spray paint with a basic clear coat over it" vibe for the power armor???

Unfortunately, there are dangers associated with stratospheric aerosol injection. This approach may reduce rainfall in some areas of the world. Loss of crops and access to fresh water due to reduced rainfall could lead to starvation and suffering. If this approach were used, it would be important to develop and implement measures to protect people and save lives and livelihoods....instead human lives being sacrificed for greed
