What do we want?

a note from searchingforapieceofmind

searchingforapieceofmind:

so yeah. i’m reading this now.

i downloaded it on amazon kindle, and i’m enthralled. its an interesting read, definitely something different than the 50 shades of whatever that was…thank goodness. that 50 shades thing lost me at the second book. 

THIS..however..is definitely worth the read so far. at first, i couldn’t get quite into it. now, i don’t want to put it down. 

also, i just realized..if it weren’t for kindle, i would have waited for that book to be delivered…which would have made it so i probably didn’t read it, because i’m a “here and now” kinda person.

so..yay for instant gratification.

I hope you like it! Let me know what you think.

When I die I’m being buried in a “WWJD?” t-shirt so when the Zombie Apocalypse occurs I’ll be hilarious and ironic at the same time.

How Much Does Fire Weigh? 

Question: Since fire is a plasma, and plasma is a state of matter, and matter is defined as anything that has mass, would that then mean that fire has mass and weight to it? If so, is there a way to measure its weight? How much space would, say, a pound of fire take up?

Answer: It weighs more than nothing, but if you’re at the bottom of a pillar of fire, being crushed should be your second concern

Fires, putting aside details about plasma and chemicals or whatever, is just hot air.  For a given pressure the ideal gas law says that the density of a gas is inversely proportional to temperature, in Kelvin.  You can use this fact, the temperature and density of air (300°K 1.3 kg/m³), and the temperature of your average run-of-the-mill open flame (about 1300°K) to find the density of fire. For most “everyday” fires, the density of the gas in the flame will be about 1/4 the density of air.  So, since air (at sea level) weighs about 1.3 kg per cubic meter (1.3 grams per liter), fire weighs about 0.3 kg per cubic meter.

One pound of ordinary fire, here on Earth near sea level, would take up a cube about 1.2 meters to a side.  The reason that fires always flow upward is that its density is lower than air.  So, fire rises in air for the same reason that bubbles rise in water: it’s buoyant.  Enterprising individuals sometimes even take advantage of that fact.

If you were on a planet with no air at all, fire would fall to the ground instead of rise because, like all matter, it’s pulled by gravity.  Also, it would be hard to keep the fire going (what with there being no air).

Why have I not watched this movie lately?

Can’t.

Stop.

Scary Movies about to get Much Scarier

During the Sundance Film Festival in January, a midnight screening of V/H/S provoked the ultimate audience reaction of the horror movie genre. Some scenes were so graphic and gory that a man ran from the theater, collapsed in the lobby and had a seizure. His girlfriend followed suit and vomited while he was being treated. An ambulance even had to be called.

Fortunately, the man and his girlfriend were fine after being treated by paramedics. Unfortunately, horror movies are about to get even more nauseating thanks to the latest technology from Dolby Laboratories. But if you’re a fan of seizure-inducing horror movies, consider it your lucky day.

On Monday the company revealed its new sound system call the Dolby Atmos, capable of pumping out sound how we naturally hear it: from every direction. Unlike current sound systems that push sound from the sides of theaters, the Atmos system can not only deliver sound from above, it will be able to swirl sound around the theater.

Senior technical marketing manager for Dolby Laboratories, Stuart Bowling, said the new Atmos system is one of the biggest technological advances the company has made in the last 20 years.

“You can imagine watching a scary movie, and it’s a scene when someone is hiding in a basement and there are footsteps on the floorboards above,” Bowling said, according to the New York Times. “The Atmos system will actually play that audio from above people in the theater.”

The new system will feature 64 speaker feeds and will be in select theaters later this year.

“Dolby Atmos is our most significant innovation in years and represents the future for entertainment sound in cinema,”  President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories, Kevin Yeaman said in a press release. “We have leveraged our deep insights into how people hear and experience sound to empower filmmakers, studios, and exhibitors with new technology that transforms storytelling.”

Best part of Tumblr is this right here. You showing me your book.

Thanks Kris!

Oh hey Claire, whatcha doin? Oh nothing just trying to cure my insomnia by reading a book about an insomniac. And not being successful because the book is really really good. Me being topless has nothing to do with this, I just am. Big thanks to Travis for my new oversized nip covers. <3 (Taken with instagram)

because there aren’t any pics of me on here

All a gun does is focus an explosion in one direction.  You have a class of young strong men and women, and they want to give their lives to something.  Advertising has these people chasing cars and clothes they don’t need.  Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don’t really need.

We don’t have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit.  We have a great revolution against the culture.  The great depression is our lives.  We have a spiritual depression.
