13:02 <Finwe> New parties have zilch chance of being succesful under that, as it almost certainly leads to two-party system.
13:03 <Finwe> You can have 49 % of all votes and no representatives.

13:07 <Schism> Welp, time to get my face burned off.
13:08 <Finwe> The good thing is that every neighbourhood has an own MP.
13:09 <Finwe> In Finland the parliamentary election constituencies are rather large, the largest one being Nyland with almost 2,000,000 voters.
13:11 <Finwe> This results in there usually being three equally popular parties, some in the middle class and then lots of small parties.
13:12 <Finwe> Social Democrats, Moderate Conservatives and Agrarian/Centre Party were the traditional triad, but the Centre Party has been replaced by the popular party True Finns in the latest elections.
13:13 <Finwe> The Green Union and Socialist Coalition are middle-sized and among small parties are Swedish People's Party, Christian Democrats and such.
13:14 <Finwe> It usually takes two of the larger parties to get a cabinet backed with majority of the Parliament.
13:16 <Finwe> Especially the French media is always astonished when Social Democrats and Conservatives form cabinet in Finland.
13:17 <Finwe> In France it would be unheard of to have both socialists and conservatives in same cabinet.

16:17 * Schism installs Skyrim on an Alexa. That's all she needs.
16:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> So you end up with the humidity being stuck inside. I can open every other window of course, but especially in winter you lose all heat.

20:50 <Finwe> It breaks down to sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.
20:50 <Schism> Yup. Just stick it into the oven at 350 for an hour or five until it's lost 1/3rd of its weight (as one of the carbons has cooked off).
20:51 <Finwe> 2 NaHCO_3 -> Na_2CO_3 + H_2O + CO_2.
20:52 <Finwe> You lose 2 hydrogen atoms, one carbon adn three oxygens.
20:53 <Finwe> So most of the lost mass is explained by oxygen, not carbon.
20:55 <Finwe> 3O weighs approximately 48 units, 2H about 2 units and 1C about 12 units.

20:56 * Schism ahs, and nodnods to Finwe.
20:59 <Finwe> You can also use saltwort like in ancient times.
20:59 <Schism> Baking soda is rather less expensive.
21:00 <Finwe> It was also not widely available prior to when it became widely available.
21:00 <Finwe> So they used saltwort or kelp.
21:01 <Finwe> The oldest patented process uses salt, sulphuric acid, limestone and coal.
21:04 <Schism> The production of potash, I see.
21:04 <Finwe> From salt and sulphuric acid you get sodium sulphate and hydrochloric acid, then from sodium sulphate and coal you get sodium sulphide and carbon dioxide, and finally from sodium sulphite and limestone you get sodium carbonate and calcium sulphide.
21:04 <Schism> Ah, I thought you referred more to the oldest patent in the US, period.
21:05 <Finwe> Leblanc was French, I think.
21:05 <Finwe> The patent is from 1792.
21:06 <Finwe> USA was still in its teens back then.
21:06 <Schism> Mmm. US patents were filed back in 1790. >.>
21:06 <Finwe> <.<
21:07 * Schism can't wait for her skirt. It will be cute, and has pockets.
21:08 <Finwe> The Solvay process uses salt, ammonia, water and carbon dioxide.
21:09 <Finwe> From these you get sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride.
21:10 <Finwe> And then you proceed by breaking the bicarbonate down with heat, like you would do in your home oven.
21:13 <Finwe> Hou's process from 1930 uses methane, water, nitrogen and salt to produce ammonium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, which is then treated with heat like in the Solvay process.

21:17 <Finwe> The Germans call oxygen "sour stuff".
21:17 <DerpyBot> *derp*
21:17 <Finwe> Likewise, hydrogen is "water stuff".
21:17 <Finwe> And carbon "coal stuff".
21:19 <Finwe> and nitrogen is "suffocation stuff"
21:19 * Finwe boops Starlight_Glimmer.
21:20 <Finwe> Silly Germans. o3o
21:20 <Finwe> Alright, Swedish uses roughly same names, except for carbon.
21:21 <Finwe> Väte, syre. kväve.

21:21 * uni salutes!
21:24 <Finwe> Might be bedtiem.
21:24 <Finwe> Or Reaper Man tiem before bedtiem.
21:24 <Finwe> !lullaby
21:24 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
21:24 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
21:24 <Finwe> !shoo
21:24 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
21:27 <Finwe> Good night, everypony.
21:28 * Finwe curls up on Ali with his copy of Reaper Man.
21:34 * Dappled flop horse again.
21:42 * Ali grabs Dappled and snugs them lots
21:45 * Dappled snugs the Ali lots. Friend!
22:02 * Schism provides Dappled with a video game midiskirt.
22:05 <Schism> ... welp. Researchers have managed to create an artificial Bose-Einstein Condensate.
22:06 <Schism> By taking 8,000 atoms of Rubidium, cooling it to nearly 0K, and holding it in place with a laser beam, they've created a miniature black hole.

23:07 <Schism> "A secret cave has opened..." OH RIGHT~! That's how I get to the secret level in Episode 1. o3o
23:24 * Schism takes a pause after finishing E1M8. "Ah, the joys of that secret level... stupid moon gravity."
23:25 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@smol.librarian.mare)
23:26 <Jackie> I've been playing Terraria a lot
23:28 <Schism> Not a bad choice, especially with some modsets.
23:32 <Jackie> Schism: Haven't gotten to hardmode yet tho
23:32 * Schism continues to refuse to play Quake on Nightmare -- but she's getting pretty far on Normal.
23:32 <Jackie> Crimson is hella scary
23:33 <Schism> Corruption isn't much better, especially at night.
23:33 <Jackie> Well yeah, you're screwed because you can't see anything
23:34 <Jackie> Unless you have torches or that potion that lights you up
23:35 <Ali> Crimson is worse than Corruption Pre Hardmode
23:36 <Jackie> Ali: yeah...face monster
23:37 <Ali> That and the spiders
23:37 <Ali> The Corruption only has one surface enemy, and those are bad enough
23:37 <Ali> Jackie, how far in are you?
23:38 <Jackie> Well not that far
23:38 <Jackie> As I said not yet in hardmode
23:38 <Ali> I get that, just means you haven't defeated the Wall of Flesh
23:39 <Ali> There's a few good weapons early game if you get anti grav potions
23:39 <Ali> Or can deal with the Jungle enough to farm out a hook
23:39 <Ali> Early Maces aren't bad either
23:40 <Ali> Long as they dont' have a garbage modifier
23:40 <Jackie> Yeah it gives you one at random
23:41 <Ali> Gives? Are you playing on a secret seed or Journymode?
23:41 <Jackie> No, I mean modifier
23:42 <Jackie> Whenever you craft, it sometimes gives you a modifier by random chance
23:42 <Schism> Once you unlock the Goblin, you can reroll them.
23:43 <Jackie> You mean like increase the chances?
23:43 <Ali> No, the Goblin, you can pay him gold to change the modifier
23:43 <Ali> The problem is, its random and he likes to break things a lot
23:49 * Jackie giant worm sounds
23:50 * Schism grumbles as she faces off against a Fiend -- and gibs herself with the rocket lawnchair.
23:50 * Ali logs out of world
23:51 <Jackie> Ali: guess you're terrified of giant worms
23:52 <Ali> Eater of Worlds
23:52 <Jackie> I really like the sounds they make when digging
23:52 <Ali> Or worse the *spoiler*
23:52 <Jackie> Hiss hiss hiss hiss
