Not sure on the topic, but one that you shouldn't walk into half way through.

How to get bloodstains out of a rug or a person and does oxygen burn or just enhance a fire?

 

[corax1]

From watching forensic stuff it seems super hard to remove blood from anything. Bleach or fire seem to be better options though.

I'd say oxygen 'burns' as it's part of the reaction that enables fire to do It's thing and it changes from oxygen to things like carbon dioxide.


Thanks for coming to my ted talk

*all molecular things will burn

**EVERYTHING burns under the (im)proper conditions


Also, on the forensic bit: ammonia pretty much destroys anything informative about blood samples, but will not remove stains... not that anyone here needs such infos, just random bar trivia.

 

[T72on1]

It's disturbing how much some people know about blood stains and such.

 

[LozHinge the Unhinged]

Yes, much blood expertise, blood spatter analysis, cleaning tips, the best type of weave for a rug that is intended to conceal a body as well as contain it ...

And yet ... when I posted asking for the secret to cooling a cup of tea down quickly - should you poor the milk in as soon as you have poured the brewed tea into the cup, or should you wait a minute or two for the black tea to cool down before adding the milk ...

... no help whatsoever, just a bunch of off-topic chipmunk chatter.

I even mentioned Newton's Cooling curve which features an exponential factor of 5/4, which implies that cooling is slows as the temperature drops, thus it might be better to wait a couple of minutes before adding the milk ... even with all these clues, I couldn't get confirmation of my hypothesis.

There are days when the D2 forums are a source of disappointment to me.

Always have the milk/cream poured into the ceramic/china cup before pouring the tea, otherwise you risk scalding the milk/cream, which curdles and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.

Coffee should never require this level of care, as brewing your coffee at any temperature high enough to scald milk/cream will boil off many of the oils you are trying to infuse, resulting in... well, bad coffee.


I also know a surprising amount about hot caffeinated beverages

This smacks of conventional wisdom, something I am philosophically AND physiologically opposed to.

In any event, if one waits a minute or two before adding milk to the tea, the question of scalding is moot plus you get a time boost from good old Newton, as previously suggested.

As for coffee, you can basically lob a flash-bang or a grenade in there, and it makes bugger all difference to the flavour.

 

[kamap1]

You could also not drink any coffee and not add milk to tea, no problems what so ever about taste or when to add milk.

I figure if I throw a grenade in your cup of tea it *might* give me the same kick as my coffee.

I'll pretend I didn't hear you say the words "not drink any coffee." Just the thought makes me want to add more blood stains to Noodle's rug.

But you were pleased when I told you the secret of Russian tea drinking. Was it just feigned?

You weren't serious enough about an exact solution to the question, so I found enough of an excuse for not putting all considerations into a differential equation, like the coffee's change of shape and increase of surface when adding milk, the effect of finite heat conductivity etc. Besides, I'm rather bad at differential equations anyway.

For the others: Original thread.

I'll not drink my coffee like I want, you drink yours your way. If you are like @LozHinge the Unhinged and haven't figured out when to add the milk to coffee or tea, you haven't experimented enough and it's a silly question to ask.
Experimenting is the way I found out how to clean blood stains.

 

[kamap1]

@LozHinge the Unhinged: You've had a whole weekend to experiment! Have you finally figured out when to add the milk or not add the milk or plain not drink any coffee and only drink tea without sugar nor milk but maybe a touch of honey and rum, spiced or normal.

Cardiologist says I can drink BEER!!!

I'll have an Antwerpen Guinness.

Anyone else?

 

[o1d_dude]

Raises glass, mutters a few words which sound like "...I drink to his shade...", takes a deep draught, sits quietly.

 

[kamap1]

Urthel Samaranth here!
I'll also have a taster of that Antwerpen Guinness, since haven't tasted it yet.
I should look for it next time I'm in Antwerpen.
Well actually I'm in the Provincie Antwerpen almost everyday. I live in Schoten which is in the Provincie Antwerpen.

Oh StarCraft II. Now I remember why you couldn't compare with SC:BW.

1) Same Save Game Fail message that has existed for 5+ years with no fix (Only workaround I can find is quitting SC2 after completing a mission, and relaunching before starting a mission. If I forget to quit and re-start, I just get no saves.)

2) The Hotkey for "Cancel/Escape" cannot be two things at once:
Cancel 1: Cancel an SCV from building so that you can send it to do something else, like emergency repair
Cancel 2: Cancel the queuing of units (Siege Tanks/units) from a Factory.

Both of these commands should be the "Escape" key, but are mutually exclusive. You cannot bind (from what I've seen,) one to "Escape" without unbinding the other.

Does anyone know of where I can find help threads or should post for SC2 stuff. I have seen threads for various semi-related issues completely ignored on the B.net forums.

no idea - I never had these problems when I played

Oxygen doesn't burn.

OF2 begs to differ.

As someone pointed out you should start with milk in the cup and add the tea to the milk. This will ensure you don't burn the milk as it comes up to temperature more slowly.

Now in answer to your question, the response is you should add the milk once the temperature of your tea has gotten to the point that the addition of milk cools it to the correct temperature. I can do the calculation for you if you tell me what temperature you want your tea at.

Tea will cool quicker without the milk in it then with the milk in it.

OF2 can beg all it likes. If you want to to call this "burning", along with a bunch of fancy chemists and scientists, not one of whom has seen Steven Wilson perform live, you can all go to the planet where people care about OF2 but don't go to cool concerts.

Scientists who refer to the conversion of oxygen within stars as "burning" can go there too.

"Burn the milk"? WTF puts fluorine in their tea?

No one cares about burning milk in this way, not even when they more accurately call it "scalding".

Now in answer to your question,

Woohoo!

the response is you should add the milk once the temperature of your tea has gotten to the point that the addition of milk cools it to the correct temperature. I can do the calculation for you if you tell me what temperature you want your tea at.

No one cares about the correct temperature, they just want their tea to cool down quickly.

In any event, that is not an answer to my question, that is an answer to someone asking about how to achieve a given temperature of their tea.

Tea will cool quicker without the milk in it then with the milk in it.

Well, duh, obviously. Newton's Cooling Curve tells us that.

Sheesh! Hard work or what?

@LozHinge the Unhinged: I see you didn't deign to respond to my question.
