Miley Cyrus got in a fight with a porn star at a strip club in my city tonight. This will not affect me in any way, but life is weird, man.

Sounds set up...

[Arx]

I'm no longer surprised at anything that woman does, but that is strange even by her standards.

[Neonivek]

Thor is more OP than Superman.
I mean, they toned down his powers a lot for the movies, but in the comics, Thor could rip entire worlds apart if he wanted to. Which is probably why Mjolnir has the whole worthiness limitation.

I would like to see Captain America in Avengers 2 pick up Mjolnir and have no idea that he shouldn't have been able to.

How closely is Thor the superhero based off Thor the mythological entity? Because Mjolnir is supposed to make Thor able to destroy literally anything (that can be destroyed by hitting it anyway). I imagine that would make any superhero story a bit lacking in conflict though.

The hammer has its limits even within the mythology. But the largest limitation is the fact that the Norse gods are the most mortal gods of just about any mythology.

The Marvel Universe basically treats the Norse Gods like the Greek Gods... except Norse.

Yes in a RARE exception... Marvel actually made the gods stronger then their original depiction.

[Flying Dice]

Mm, I'm not sure if I buy that comparison. Especially because of the relative natures of the two pantheons; Greek gods are fundamentally human in motivation and end up getting tricked and humiliated all the time over petty things like jealousy, sex, sex-related jealousy, &c. Týr got an arm ripped off in exchange for binding Fenrir; Odin spent nine days impaled on Yggdrasil, their end-times basically consists of all the gods and good people in their afterlife dying horrible deaths...

Maybe Marvel made them stronger, but it made them less hardcore.

I, for whatever reason, want to know what she was wearing.

As I was doing my PhysChem report and looking for some parameters for absolute ethanol I stumbled upon a thread named 'my Vodka has frozen, what does it mean?'.

[LordSlowpoke]

it means that it's under -40 celsius

[scrdest]

it means that it's under -40 celsius

Actually no, the guys in the thread done some calculations, taking in account the effect of contraction, cryoscopic effect and the like, and Vodka would normally freeze at around -20 to -22 Celsius.

[LordSlowpoke]

...first things first, what sort of ethanol content are we talking about?

[scrdest]

...first things first, what sort of ethanol content are we talking about?

Vodka, so theoretically around 90% per volume although the point was checking if it was fake or not.

Also, someone did an experiment, and legit Vodka did freeze at -21 or so.

Naw... Like a FREEKEN TON of "End of the World" stories... Ragnerok doesn't actually end the world. It just basically flips the table.

The same with Nostradamus' end of the world...

90% per volume

Either I've missed something, or that sure as hell ain't any vodka I've seen.

[scrdest]

90% per volume

Yeah, derp. Not per volume.

[MaximumZero]

90 proof is 45% per volume. The vodka I served at the bar was all 80 proof, or 40% alcohol.

[Neonivek]

90 proof is 45% per volume. The vodka I served at the bar was all 80 proof, or 40% alcohol.

So then 100 proof is 50% per volume and 200 proof is 100%
