00:02.23 | Wormy__ | Well the Tories want to bring back fox hunting |
00:02.58 | Wormy__ | Where it was/is common practise to plant foxes and cut off their escape before it is torn apart by hounds |
00:03.18 | Wormy__ | They often trespassed on land as well |
00:11.57 | Liquid_Ink | Hey Wormy |
00:12.27 | Liquid_Ink | Supernovas happen when a star tries to fuse carbon in the core |
00:12.34 | Liquid_Ink | Sorry, iron |
00:13.17 | Liquid_Ink | Supernovas happen when a star tries to fuse iron in the core |
00:13.27 | Liquid_Ink | But it needs to be heavy enough to do this |
00:14.14 | Liquid_Ink | Our sun not being heavy enough will become a planetary nebula when it tries to fuse carbon |
00:14.34 | Liquid_Ink | So is it possible for a star to become heavy enough to successfully fuse iron? |
00:17.20 | Wormy__ | Iron can't be fused, because the energy released is less than the energy required to fuse it https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6960a32f74a1c6c80d194ffcf6555a75-p |
00:18.08 | Liquid_Ink | What is this file you're asking me to download |
00:19.18 | Wormy__ | Its a chart showing the number of nucleons in one axis compared to the binding energy |
00:19.46 | Liquid_Ink | I see |
00:21.09 | Wormy__ | The height difference shows the amount of energy you need |
00:22.38 | Wormy__ | Anyway, the iron "ash" accumulates in a star's core, creating an imbalance in the star's ability to prevent gravitational collapse with the radiation pressure of heat |
00:27.18 | Wormy__ | What fuses heavier elements is when the star's outer core collapses inwards at over 20% the speed of light, giving the additional energy needed to capture additional neutrons in the nuclei |
00:29.18 | Wormy__ | *not really "fuses", the correct term is neutron capture |
00:30.29 | Wormy__ | So to answer your question, no, stars need to undergo supernova to supply the excess energy required. And there is a cutoff to how massive stars can become. |
00:33.59 | Wormy__ | The additional neutrons are created by the capture of electrons by protons, possible in the temperatures raised by compression |

09:58.41 | Ghel | I'm okay; how about you? |
09:58.46 | Liquid_Ink | Pretty good |
09:58.51 | Liquid_Ink | Did you die? |
10:01.29 | Ghel | Sometimes my computer spontaneously freezes for a few seconds and disconnects from the wi-fi. |
10:02.03 | Liquid_Ink | I see |
10:02.24 | Ghel | The usual pattern is: notice pages aren't loading -> computer freezes -> computer freezes and wi-fi disconnects -> unplug and replug wi-fi thing -> reconnect to IRC. |
10:02.33 | Ghel | unfreezes and* |
10:03.03 | Liquid_Ink | I see |
10:03.24 | Liquid_Ink | I watched The Phantom Menace again today. I haven't watched it in years |
10:06.26 | Ghel | I last watched it about a year and two months ago. I remember because I decided to watch all six Star Wars movies before going to see the seventh at night. It's not something I'm planning to repeat. |
10:07.40 | Liquid_Ink | Now that I'm an adult, the sheer frustration of having to watch Jar Jar has finally set in in full effect |
10:12.19 | Liquid_Ink | I do enjoy the politics now that I understand it though |

11:15.43 | Liquid_Ink | I watched The Phantom Menace again for the first time in ages |

11:23.06 | Wormydroid_ | I just learned a massive winter storm is coming my way, bringing 100 mph winds and snow |
11:23.19 | Liquid_Ink | Cool |
11:24.11 | Wormydroid_ | I like Jar Jar, but there's that conspiracy he's the true dark lord |
11:24.52 | Wormydroid_ | Then again I haven't watched Phantom Menace lately |
11:25.41 | Wormydroid_ | Imagine if Snoke was Jar Jar in 7 |
11:25.51 | Wormydroid_ | Woukd be the ultimate troll |
11:26.35 | Liquid_Ink | That would be terrifying |
11:28.04 | Wormydroid_ | People would storm Disney studios and throw chairs in the cinemas |
11:28.29 | Liquid_Ink | The quality of the CGI really stands out now. Though I still think the battledroid deployment sequence is amazing. |
11:28.42 | Wormydroid_ | Yeah |
11:29.16 | Wormydroid_ | They combined cgi and models / sets I think |
11:30.47 | Wormydroid_ | Brb |
11:30.49 | Liquid_Ink | I meant the CGI being bad |
11:30.53 | Liquid_Ink | With Jar Jar especially |
11:30.59 | Liquid_Ink | And Yoda in the last scene |
11:31.11 | Liquid_Ink | They really dropped the ball with Yoda |
11:31.11 | Wormydroid_ | Good for its time |
11:31.20 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah, I appreciate that |
11:34.23 | Wormydroid_ | Yoda was a puppet or animatron I think |
11:34.33 | Wormydroid_ | But yeah he looked gnaff |
11:34.49 | Wormydroid_ | And not much like Yoda in the older films |
11:35.14 | Wormydroid_ | Maybe they tried to make him look younger |
11:35.20 | Wormydroid_ | Which was unnecessary |
11:35.41 | Wormydroid_ | Damn gales are starting to pick up |
11:35.49 | Wormydroid_ | My phone is getying wet bbs |
11:36.59 | Liquid_Ink | Bye |
11:37.30 | Wormydroid_ | Bus came |
11:41.23 | Ghel | It's recycling collection day here today. In order to stop our recycling bin from blowing over and spilling everywhere, I had to lie the bin down (so it couldn't be blown over), facing upwind (so the wind didn't blow the lid open) and uphill with the hinge on top (so gravity pulled the lid down), with some waste carboard likewise orientated (it was a big box with other cardboard inside), pressed up against the lid with a brick to weigh |
11:42.21 | Ghel | Here in the East Midlands, a hurricane on the west coast usually peters out inland into nothing more than a stiff breeze. Today is something special. |
11:43.52 | Ghel | Alas, if I had something to tie the bin with, I'd have just tied the lid down. |
11:43.53 | Wormydroid_ | I read that as that for some reason |
11:44.46 | Wormydroid_ | In Nottingham, people just let their bins blow all over the road |
11:46.14 | Wormydroid_ | Also where I live in the Derbyshire, anything come from tye North has dumped most of the rain and snow on the peaks |
11:46.39 | Wormydroid_ | By the time it reaches me |
11:54.17 | Wormydroid_ | A lot of miserable inappropriately dressed people today |
11:54.41 | Wormydroid_ | People tricked by the mild weather this week |
11:55.40 | Wormydroid_ | Not me, I have a coat designed for ski slope conditions, and I tolerate cold |
11:55.46 | Wormydroid_ | Bbs |
11:58.58 | Wormydroid_ | Its not summer yet fools |
11:59.27 | Wormydroid_ | Winter can bite with avengeance in her last breath |
12:02.47 | Liquid_Ink | Very poetic |
12:32.42 | Liquid_Ink | I just noticed something |
12:33.02 | Liquid_Ink | By coincidence, three of my villainous powers have a red-black-green colour scheme |
12:37.26 | Liquid_Ink | Ghel: How would a gas or ice giant become green? |
12:41.00 | Ghel | Liquid_Ink: Deep green? Chlorine, maybe. You're unlikely to get such high concentrations of chlorine in a planet, let alone an entire gas giant, but it shouldn't be impossible. |
12:41.43 | Ghel | (I'm assuming you don't mean bluey-green, which is just a slight variation on Uranus.) |
12:42.07 | Liquid_Ink | I was looking at Cyrannian's page on the twelve worlds, and one of his gas giants is green |
12:42.14 | Liquid_Ink | Another is bluey-green |
12:48.04 | Ghel | You could always search to see if you can find any other green gases. |
12:48.13 | Liquid_Ink | Perhaps |
12:48.20 | Liquid_Ink | But not now, because I'm going to bed |
