Skipping in order to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Laura & her DH's anniversary.
Happy day to the both of them! With lots of wishes for a wonderful year together.
[Edit: I skipped just to the right post to know that there are pictures I should look for upthread. Which I'm going to do exactly now. Thanks, Burrell!]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy Anniversary, Laura + DH!
Cashmere, ugh. That's so creepy. Ew.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Great pix, but not mine.

Does anyone have a clear understanding of the difference between annealing and tempering?
My understanding of annealing is based purely on the neural-network technique of virtual annealing, which isn't much help here.

Bonus trivia question - who knows what the next, further evolved species of humans will be called, according to David Bowie?
I didn't see anyone answer this. Was it "homo superior"?

yep. (I trained as a jeweler in highschool)
annealing = heating in order to make more malleable for shaping
tempering = hardening through heat (for alloys)

Oh good. Thank you! That's a much clearer explanation than I can find anywhere else. You wouldn't care to summarize the difference properties caused by different kinds of molecular bonds, would you?

bwah!
... please hold for DH... (who will die laughing and then help you)
eta - I paid attention to the former because... well - shiny! and you can wear it when you're done playing with fire!
the latter fell out of my cache to make room for something else, along with Algebra.
