Today a tin of nuts and nut confections arrived at the office. Of course I had to sample it, and the chocolate cover on a square of cashew brittle immediately began to melt on my fingers as I nibbled tentatively, wondering if I could bite it apart or would have to eat the whole thing at once. My first thought upon observing the melting chocolate was that it must have a lot of low-melt flux in it.
I'm such a geek.

I can say that I've never considered that before. I think the geek award may go to you today.
Flux- like the soldering kinda-a fux, stained glass making kinda flux?
MMnn- Chocolate flux (just kidding.)
The IQ test- thingy- I'm not worried, used to be but- that's a long story. The short of it is I'm some what dyslexic with a tendency to transpose letters and numbers, which frustrates me and makes me lose patience with tests (thank dog for spell check- which I sometimes don't use...which is usually after a couple of glasses of wine and a who give a shit attitude). I must really, really take my time with my business and double check numbers and correspondences/ materials & proposals but every now and then something does slip and, well, shit happens.
My head is actually filled with all sorts of useless trivia; I recall things quickly as as I've said before, "a head filled with useless trivia is better than a head filled with nothing."
Please take this warm weather... I want COLD & SNOW & BLIZZARD conditions... snow-in!!
The book- yes it (just into the first few chapters) makes sense to me... the sexes really don't understand each other that well, we say we do but we really don't... we think we hear one thing and it's actually, most often, means something entirely different than what was actually said.
It is fragile-
will check out the link more... thanks.
Zach - thanks!
Tommy - ceramic flux - I've been reading about and studying ceramic materials a lot lately, to the point where I keep suddenly thinking of potential experiments at the most incongruous times.
My whole life is a who gives a shit attitude. Information's not useless... I prefer "obscure". Does the book propose to eductate people on how to understand each other? You'll have to write us a book report...
Strength of material and material science. Basic engineering sciences. Heavy stuff.
You should have titled the entry, "I'm so hot!" because ...the melting point of cocoa butter which is the main ingredient in chocolate is body temperature. Your body heat will melt any quality chocolate. Do not accept anything less. :)
(I watch too much History Channel.)
The more it melts, the more cocoa butter... I'm so hot!!
I won't condemn watching the History channel. It's quality programming.
Holy low-melt flux, Batman! That's one hot anonymous chick!
