Information is power

[james_davis_nicoll]

As a token of appreciation for me doing the legowrk while the exgf recovers, she got me a spiffy new drink container (of a brand recommended here but which I forget just now). It's about 1000 ml and has provided me with an interesting bit of information: every time I pick it up to have a drink, I consume 4 ounces. This would explain why I find most glasses annoyingly puny.

There must be some way to combine them...

"I don't know how many people have ever had to suit an outdoor cat up in their little heated jackets, booties and air-bottles so they can relieve themselves outside. In fact, I would guess that this is close to zero because most people will be able to envision what the consequence of "liquid urine + 100 K" means, particularly in combination with a not especially patient cat who does not appreciate being frozen to the ground by a concrete-hard slab of solid pee-ice.

At that, it's better than the time we found out why hot urine and methane ice make a bad combination. The resulting steam explosion sent shards of solidified piss over a surprisingly large radius and very curiously, the people who design titan-suits don't seem to have taken into account the possibility that their product will have to stand up to a gail of lethally pointed fragments of urine."
