    Yes, anime! You have no idea how happy this thread makes me just glancing through it, but mostly too anxious to ever post anything relevant.

    Downloading Lego batman movie

    I haven't seen it but everyone is in love with it

    That's because it was great. It was as well done and humorous as the LEGO movie, but this one has a lot of obscure Batman references, which is great for people who are really into that.

    It's hard to eat healthy when your friends keep asking you to have burgers/tacos/whatever with them...

    Well, there will also be talks about fantasy and electronics, so sounds like a good lunch option.

    I didn't think it was great but it was funny. Didn't expect the cast of bad guys...lol!

    Personally, any movie that is able to captivate both adults and children alike and keep them laughing and entertained is great in my book.

    I'm not a huge Batman fan (I mean, he's alright but by far not my favorite), but the obscure references everywhere were entertaining and I love when films do that.

    And yeah, the cast of bad guys really made the movie more entertaining.

    I learned this when I used to go to a local store to play MtG. The random assortment of food they were always bringing in when we were trying to play was maddening. Pizza, nachos, etc. Made worse by the fact that the store is located on a strip of more gentrified local eateries (which are mostly delicious) and within walking distance of a Thai place, pizza and a bowling alley that delivers food.

    Can I sit here too?

    Yes if I can watch your anime hair blow poetically in the wind...

    That is Alex Row (Last Exile).
    Captain of the Silvana "Kill 'em All" battleship/carrier, he is (looks) cold and detached for a perfectly good reason, and is likely the best fighter in-universe.
    One of my favourite anime characters.

    tl/dr: he's a badass :grin:

    PS: why doesn't this forum allow YouTube embedding AND removes start time?

    I found my new anime to watch, thanks!

    No, I haven't seen it. I didn't even know there was a follow-up to it. Pity that it has such negative reviews.

    If you mix formaldehyde and bleach it creates a poisonous gas.

    A more common mistake is Bleach and Ammonia:

    "Likely Chemical Reactions from Mixing Bleach and Ammonia

    The bleach decomposes to form hydrochloric acid, which reacts with ammonia to form toxic chloramine fumes:

    First the hydrochloric acid is formed:

    NaOCl → NaOH + HOCl

    HOCl → HCl + O

    And then the ammonia and chlorine gas react to form chloramine, which is released as a vapor:

    NaOCl + 2HCl → Cl2 + NaCl + H2O

    2NH3 + Cl2 → 2NH2Cl

    If ammonia is present in excess (which it may or may not be, depending on your mixture), toxic and potentially explosive liquid hydrazine may be formed. While impure hydrazine tends not to explode, it's still toxic, plus it can boil and spray hot toxic liquid.

    2NH3 + NaOCl → N2H4 + NaCl + H2O"

    Does sound like a very fun time from mixing two common household products

    I just remembered that when I was 12 I bought a bookmark because it came with
    The One Ring (I was obsessed with LOTR) and it got stuck on my middle finger for 3 days and I had to go to emerg and wait for hours just for them to cut if off.

    It betrayed me.

    After they cut your finger off, did you get to keep the ring since it was still fully functional or did you bury it along with your body part?
