I just found out that Devourer is german. I would have written this in german, but it's been a while and i cant quite remember certain verbs and how to do past tense.

My AP Chemistry teacher won't let me mix Hydrazine & Dinitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4). Long story short: it's too dangerous not because it's a hypergolic, bipropellant rocket fuel mix, but because it's extremely toxic. QQ

It's not the explosion that he's worried about...it's the N2O4 being an extremely poisonous gas [hehe, irony], since it forms an acid if you breathe it in, so it literally dissolves you inside out.
And the hydrazine, according to Wikipedia, can be poured onto the ground, be rained on, and still retain its explosive properties for 4 days. Oh, and it's extremely toxic, as well.
Bah, this'll make you happy, if you can stand the first couple minutes of boredom.
I spent four hours more than I initially estimated would be required to do our Robotics 'final' (an inter-team competition). One of my teammates accidentally tore off the bolt heads of the bolts holding the top and bottom motor mounts (they were apparently made from aluminum, not steel, so... yeah) and we spent an hour trying to remove them completely, eventually drilling through and retapping them. That didn't work so well, and two of the three other groups were already done, so we grabbed their huge wooden mounts (we had problems when the wood cracked before, but these were several times more massive than those and less likely to crack), and after three hours we got it (theoretically) working. It was late, so we just stuck the robot under the table and went home. We really had to do some hardcore stuff to get it working - we needed an industrial-strength pusher-thing to get a sprocket off of a motor (and then again with a collar), and we used a chainsaw-lite to cut through our board to accommodate the larger wooden motor mount. QQ
On the bright side, we got some food from the Robotics team, who apparently stay here 4-6 hours after school for three times a week (going up to 6 times a week closer to the competition) and who get food delivered in large bowls. We had some very good fried rice with chicken and vegetables (delicious), some spaghetti with vegetables (Our school is 60% East-Asian), a mix of cut fruit (probably the best I've tasted ) with cream, soda, and Oreos.
my dog got out of the yard yesterday, and when we found her she had a limp. She's still limping a little today. She's old so we think it might just be arthritis but still... QQ
My sister from London is leaving tomorrow morning. :C

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
Symmetry shouted: Ohhh imagine a SC map that could delete itself
not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
