Isn't anyone out there?

Alison if the mayonaise is seperating or it doesn't smell right then it has gone bad. By seperating I mean it is now forming a fat and water layer.

If you are the other groups doing this project... Um well just consider yourself lucky. You don't have to deal with the pressure of performance. Plus maybe your design is cooler then mine, who knows.

Well I have bad news and even worse news today.

First the bad news: That fire protection project is now even more sucessful then anticipated. Our flame sensor has greater range then was advertised and the co-ordinating teacher has put all his faith behind our group. This means I'll actually have to do some serious work instead of proposing stuff and making some lame report.

Now the Worse news: The teacher is so happy with our group that he is willing to order all the parts we will need to make a prototype. That's right a friggin prototype! I only imagined this project would exist on paper now I have to waste even more time to make a prototype!

How this effects you: Well it doesn't unless you are Par sized or a drummer for 2 different bands. I basically need Tay or Par's help to program the microcontroller once it gets shipped here.

Damn! I wish I was the other groups on this project right now. They are probally not even worried about prototyping right now. They're blissfully BS or calculating a design out. Man I wish I was them right now.

Did anyone else know this?

I just ate food out of a container that's "microwarmable." Is that even a word? and how do you get to be microwarmable? anyone?

oh, and how do you know if mayonnaise is bad or not? Would half a day out of the fridge do it? I'm thinking probably not, but if I'm wrong, I'll be mighty ill later on today.

awesome

Vintage NES commercials. I've mirrored some of the gooders/ones I remember:

• "The Best Action Game Ever... from Acclaim"

I know you can have gaseous ions but it requires a lot of energy to get them to that state and I'm not sure it's something that can be produced as a side effect from a battery. Gaseous anions are much easier to produce than cations though so maybe it has a ring of truth to it. I'm not sure. I should probably RTFA.

And while I remember to gloat, it was the Russian Biochemist. Hah!

Ok chemistry folks, perhaps you can explain something to me. I may have missed something in my chemistry training. As I recall from my study of ions, they exist in specific circumstances (e.g. in solution, plasma, etc.) Do ions exist in air? Can negative ions be created and sent into the air, without any cations produced? I feel like I missed that part of chemistry class. It all seems so bullshitty.

I ask because negative ion production in atmosphere is brought up when describing how BatMax (a rechargeable battery lifetime booster) works. The product on its own has some real scientific feel, but a lot of scientific bullshit. ("Electrons are transferred through the electrolyte inside the battery by the positive ions, which take them from the anode to the cathode (or positive pole).") Citing a product that I already feel is tenuous doesn't make me feel any better about it. So, any explanation?
