Happy Anniversary, Laura + DH!
Cashmere, ugh. That's so creepy. Ew.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
On the dcp site I linked to above,
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heh. I got the initials turned around. Dpc site, is what I meant, not dcp.

Happy anniversary, Laura and DH (it's also my brother's wedding anniversary - they are celebrating in Key West).
Happy St. Patrick's day, everyone else.
Begorrah!

Oh, WORD. Except I kept the algebra (from Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala or The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing, a 9th-century Persian math book, see I know stuff!). The chemistry, however, is a blank in my mind. I remember learning how girls made their boyfriends' class rings fit their smaller fingers and seeing a classmate taken away by the police for giving our teacher a box of shit for Valentine's Day, but pretty much nothing about the bonds between women. Er, atoms. Whatever.
