For people, please use et alii = et al. = and other people "Man" was originally gender-neutral - which may be why it forms the basis of so many species terms.

Thanks, I guess? I realized fairly recently that the "Bros" in Warner Bros was the same as in Super Mario Bros, and that it was the plural of bro (short for brother). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenclawjedi42 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 That if you use voice memos to record a CD (because it’s scratched in a way that sound really cool) it actually comes out well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of metallic bonds until today, and I have studied chemistry for a while. I've looked up the wikipedia page, and this thing is indeed weird and really cool. So I learned something too today. And it's the second time this kind of thing happens in this thread even though its still page one. Thanks everyone for posting and educating me! (For the curious, the short version is: metallic positive ions are sharing electrons that belong to neither of them. Also the way it's organized is a crystalline structure with the positive ions making the crystal proper and a "soup" of free electrons between the ions.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
