    If you want to zipper two sorted lists, you compare the first element of each list, pick that first, take the next element of that list, rinse & repeat until one list runs out and then just chuck the entire rest of the other list in the remaining space, even if that’s just one element. Since your two initial lists are already sorted, you can trust the combined list to also be sorted.

    In NL we call it a wildrooster, which roughly translates to “wild animal grate,” but more literally could be interpreted as “venison toaster.”

    Also, its name then focuses on being for wild animals instead of cattle.

    NINJA EDIT: Looks like veerooster is an accepted other name, which specifically translates to cattle grid. I guess which one you use depends on whether you’re trying to control sheep or cows vs. boars or deer.



  • Fun story, when I started playing my Tabaxi Cleric of Sylvanus, we were walking through the woods towards our first dungeon, and on the way we got ambushed by wolves. The talk went:

    ME: I’ll position myself between the others and the wolves.
    DM: then they’ll attack you first.
    ME: pfft, that’s fine, I’ve got an AC of 18.
    DM: does a 21 hit?
    ME: 😨 (meekly) yes…?
    DM: 23 hits as well…
    ME: 😰
    DM: and 19 as well, right… You take 10 damage.
    ME: fuck, I’m down!

    According to that article, someone tried reacting it with just about anything he could find in the lab, and if it weren’t for the fact that it’s documented in a published paper, one could never be convinced that those experiments are the work of anyone other than a completely deranged scientist. The author of this article claims to have run out of expletives before finishing the second page.

    Also stated in this article, and converted for your convenience, reacting FOOF with H2S will yield about 1.8 MJ/mol of excess thermal energy.

    Most chemists, when you say “fill a reactor vessel at 700 °C with 300 torr of oxygen” and they notice a tank of fluorine gas in the room, will interrupt you and say “no you won’t.”

    Not while I’m within a mile of this lab. Two miles if I’m downwind.
