Melaneus, you made an effort, and you did it while daring to deviate from the 'pithy one liner' formula that has dominated this forum's humor for so many years. You have my respect just for that.

I had no idea what this was so I just imagined a rogue open-source activist working on making AI-generated/ethically sourced boobs freely available to the masses. Artist's impression here:



Reality, to the limited extent that I understand what happened, turned out to be much weirder and less noble

As I was a kid, I was taught that "water vapour" is tiny droplets of water suspended in the air, that "steam" is water in gas form, and that if you can see it it's water vapour, not steam.

Apparently, that was completely incorrect. Lies to children!

While we're at it, actual steam (water in gas form) is invisible. The stuff you can see coming out of a boiling kettle is water vapour.

As far as I understand, smoke and water vapour are basically the same thing, except with smoke it's tiny bits of burned stuff and with water vapour it's tiny droplets of water.

Incorrect, water vapor is the gaseous form of water and is invisible. Steam is also the invisible gaseous form of water, but the more useful definition of "steam" is the stuff you see coming out of a boiling kettle, which is liquid water suspended in the air because it's being cooled by the surrounding air outside of the kettle, aka "wet steam".

Dry high pressure steam leaks are terrifying. One way to find them* is to wave a broom in front of you. When it suddenly is a few inches shorter, found it!

Clouds are a complex physical system of three phases of water. "We just don't know" isn't entirely wrong as we still lack a total model for describing the interplay of the water with itself and atmospheric fines in a way that spits out something like conditions of A make a cloud type 1.

Homogeneity is a lie made to make your homework easier and make you feel better about lead free water.

Clouds are a mix of all 3 states, but the water in them is mostly in liquid form. You also have some air, carbonic acid, and very tiny solids.

So clouds are a soda, or pop outside the East coast.

The guy in the white suit and stetson offering 500 simoleons for something in The Simpsons was not referring to the Sims; simoleon or simolean/semolian is a way old synonym for money.

I think it means the local chapter of your union and uses the 3-digit calling code for American cities to identify it. Like in The Simpsons (the one place I recall seeing it) the piano tuners local 412 (Pittsburgh) chapter goes out in sympathy when the teachers' union goes on strike.

Now, seeing as how I've probably just been Wrong on the Internet, someone will correct me, and either way you will have learned.

I'm a member of Ironworkers Local 384

Googling the area code yields:
Area Code 384 has not been assigned for use by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator. Area Code 384 is officially planned as a General Purpose area code which is typically assigned to a geographic area. If you receive a phone call from area code 384 it is a spam call. Any phone number such as 384-xxx-xxx does not exist.

I believe it's actually the order it was formed.
I.e. Chicago Ironworkers Local is 63 and they are one of the oldest.
