failed polymerization(I think that’s the specific reaction) reactions which basically makes tar

Often times tar is a result of successful polymerization when you were not intending to polymerize anything.

The gentleman pictured is one Mr. Thomas de Prinse of the Explosions&Fire YouTube channel. He recently finished up a synthesis of dimethyl cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate. While this is impressive feat to accomplish with hardware store chemicals in a shed, it is not novel or groundbreaking enough to warrant a Nobel Prize.

Someone has then created this portrait of him, replicating the style often used in Nobel Prize announcements (see this year’s as an example), with a few differences, such as misspelling ‘Nobel’ as ‘Noble’, substituting ‘Swedish’ for ‘Swiss’, and writing ‘This is a work of satire.’ down the side.

Why?

Wasn’t it Grima who ultimately killed him, not the hobbits? Either way, he had been stripped of his powers long before then.

He persevered, despite the tar and the yellow.

Chonky dolphins.

“That’s right! It goes in the square hole!”

My Muji hoodie has withstood ~4 years of daily use, and is only just starting to fray around the wrist cuffs.

Wow, it has so many pixels, and so few jpeg artifacts!

Cat’s what are weird? :)

the original is old enough to vote

And the original creator, Erwin Beekveld, died a couple years ago.

Well, without access to the source material, the best that we could hope for would be a superior upscale of the HD edition.

It turns out that some folks over on the Star Wars Original Trilogy forums are doing exactly that, in the Presevation of Other Properties section section. A user named DrDre has created “deremastered” releases of the theatrical editions, and is (slowly) working on the extended editions:

• FotR theatrical 4k deremastered
• TTT theatrical 4k deremastered
• RotK theatrical 4k deremastered
• FotR extended 4k deremastered

Oh… I think you’re correct. The resin prints would have been all one colour, then painted, right?

HD remaster

an inept hero who sets out to find the cure to a plague, but ends up fighting a larger evil. Yoshihiko is guided by a comedic Buddha, and accompanied by an incompetent wizard, a woman who wants to kill Yoshihiko because she thinks he killed her father, and a warrior who will kill Yoshihiko as soon as the warrior finishes telling Yoshihiko his stories.

That’s a great setup. It’s like a reverse 1001 Nights.

No icosahedron emoji :(

Thanks, that was great!
