Ideal Pulleys

Someone asked something like this and it was an actual response. Also suggested was the idea that the pulley and string were made of light and this was on an atomic level but I’m not sure if that would work at all. But the only logical solution is that it is magic.

Entropy

This daily flash is an example of the second law of thermodynamics. If anyone tells you are messy or disorganized, you can tell them that you are just obeying the second law of thermodynamics and that your entropy is not at equilibrium and will tend to increase anyway so it is inevitable. Entropy!!

The Black Plague


Just ’cause it’s been so long since the last time. Very predictable, especially with the tags. Still have no idea what I’ll end up doing for the 300th one though.

Anyway, winter break ended and I went back to class today. Didn’t know today was supposed to follow a Monday schedule, so I waited in a classroom and later realized it was physical chemistry instead of differential equations, which I was supposed to have on Tuesday. I left the room, and after realizing today was on a Monday schedule, went back to the room because I have physical chemistry on Mondays. And then there was the fact that I thought I was going to get out at noon, but I get out at 8PM on Mondays, so that was a nice surprise.

Safe Failure


Not quite the same as “fail-safe”!

Equilibrium Constants

Pretty much the equivalent of RTFQ in this case, in some ways. On the first chem test this semester, I got like ? points off because I didn’t see the value for a constant (not an equilibrium constant, though) at the top of the first page, and I ended up using the wrong one for the whole test. Gosh darn! Also, bringing chem lab equipment into a written exam would probably be pretty interesting to see, actually.
