I conducted a 'pot life' or 'working life' test of a metal bonding adhesive in work today and concluded that working life and clamping pressure are indeed both very important for achieving a desired bond of two pieces of galvanized steel.

So, what did you learn today?

Amen, sista, I realised this week that when I'm succeeding it irritates some people and they want to pull me down and more importantly that that ain't about me.

Everyday is an adjective. The title should be "every day". That's something to learn I suppose.

I learned about the Rainbow Gravity theory.
Basically the theory goes that different wave lengths of light experience different gravity levels and can be seperated out kind of like how a prism diffracts white light into the spectrum. (Dark Side of the Moon album cover anyone?)

What I find most interesting about this theory is that if proved correct, it may disprove the existence of the big bang theory! Maybe Chuck Lorre was wrong!

Santa is also cancelled. I'm quite happy with my hirsuteness it's getting chilly in the evenings and Eamonn is making me make a choice about my heating.

θίξις

Isn't that pretty? Thixis, meaning 'touch'.

Funny how your post doesn't indicate intelligence but does indicate a lack of knowledge and education. You didn't even actually say what people are brainwashed about. Your inability to make a valid point may indicate not that other people are stupid but you cannot understand them. Most people have varying opinions neither stupid nor smart but just a different view. If I don't agree with you it doesn't make me stupid. If I know more than you it doesn't make you stupid however if you are unable to grasp a principle or concept whether you agree or not you would be stupid.

pulchritudinous means beautiful

Pulchritudinous combines the Latin word pulchritūdō, meaning “beauty,” with the adjectival suffix -ous, meaning “full of.” (Pulchritūdō also gives us the noun pulchritude, meaning “physical beauty” and first recorded in the 1400s.) Pulchritudinous began to appear in the early 1700s and gained popularity in the 1800s with American authors who started using the word because it was humorously long and overly complicated.

Pulchritudinous doesn’t sound like it means “beautiful,” and that’s usually precisely why it’s used—to be ironic, facetious, or just silly. Washington Irving employed it in The Crayon Miscellany (1835) alongside other unnecessarily complex words to make fun of an advertisement for ginger ale.

Because there are many shorter, more common words that could be used instead, pulchritudinous is a word most people either don’t know or avoid using so as not to cause confusion. But if you want to get fancy or a bit cheeky, pulchritudinous is a beautiful choice.

Before I make my statement, I have to point out that I have always had zero interest in geography in school, and really don't care about where places are in general unless I'm actively going to that place. I'm in Limerick and I know Munster counties well, but outside of that I'm basically clueless. So, in the middle of an Amazon Return via Parcel Motel, I just discovered something. The return address PM are using was showing a post code and Antrim. I Google mapped the post code and it showed Belfast. I was then convinced that something was wrong as Belfast is in Donegal...

Belfast is in Antrim. I learned that today. And I still dislike geography.

iamstop · 16-10-2020 10:58pm

The majority of Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland, is in County Antrim, with the remainder being in County Down.
