The Process

Yesterday was migraine day. Today is recovering from migraine meds day. Can you say “blargle”, kids? I KNEW that you could.
My brain is completely muffled. Seriously, seriously foggy. But, here I am at work. Doing work. work work work work…
….
…….(drifts off for a moment)

Hm? What? Oh. Right. Work. Scripting. Jesus, I need more caffeine. Lots and lots of it.

At aaaaaaaaany rate – apparently Tam melted a stainless steel pot attempting to boil water yesterday. I had no idea that that was possible. But, I guess anything is, given the right amount of heat. Or distraction. Or some fatal combo of both (as is the case here).

Mare : you melted a pan?
Mare : a stainless steel pan?!?!?!!! (eleventy-one!)
Tam : supposedly
Mare : *blinks*
Tam : there’s quite a bit of debate out there whether that’s possible or not. But certainly I bought it thinking it was stainless steel.
Mare : Piffle
Mare : I hope that Mythbusters actually does it.
Mare : (postedy)
Tam : yeah
Tam : I’m thinking that the likely answer is that it was stainless steel *clad* aluminum, the heat make the steel brittle and allowed the aluminum to escape and leak
Tam : and make a mess
Mare : Probably so.
Tam : in any case, whenever I’m out that way, I’m taking the pot back to Academy and showing them
Mare : And whapping them over the heads and causing major head trauma? mmmm…head trauma… *blinks* Uh, what was that middle thing again?
Tam : lol…still a mite cranky?
Mare : Just feeling a bit off. And they endangered my favorite people/fuzzies. They die.
Tam : lol
Tam : I did hold the pot out away from me. But I would have held it out a lot further if I knew it was still actively dripping. I was in a state of amazement that a pot melted.
Mare : Yeah. that’s definitely a “that’s the damndest thing I ever saw” sort of moment.
Tam : lol…precisely
