A couple of selfies from the last time I had a beard.

I actually like myself in these.

Scientists stretched a liquid and it snapped like a solid

Under extreme stress, even ordinary liquids can snap like solids—rewriting the rules of fluid physics.

In a surprising discovery that could reshape fluid mechanics, researchers at Drexel University have shown that under certain conditions, a simple liquid can behave like a solid and fracture. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, demonstrates that viscous liquids can abruptly snap when stretched with enough force. This finding suggests that viscosity, or a liquid's resistance to flow, plays a much larger role in its mechanical behavior than scientists previously believed. It also opens the door to new ways of controlling liquids in applications ranging from hydraulics and 3D printing to blood flow in the body. "Our findings show that if pulled apart with enough force per area, a simple liquid -- a liquid that flows -- will reach what we call a point of 'critical stress,' when it will actually fracture like a solid. And this is likely true for all simple liquids, including common examples, such as water and oil," said Thamires Lima, PhD, an assistant research professor in Drexel's College of Engineering, who helped to lead the research. "This fundamentally changes our understanding of fluid dynamics."

My body is leaking. I am strongly of the opinion that the human body should not leak.

(When it started being noticeable and thus a problem, I did think "bet you wouldn't be leaking if you were still masking" and laughed to myself.)

Gross medical details under the cut....

I've been trying Clonidine as a medication for emotional regulation in ADHD, and I didn't initially have an allergic reaction to the XR patch, but when we raised the dose I started getting skin irritation under the patch and when we dropped the dosage again it persisted and then got worse. I only wore the 7-day patch two days before I had to take it off, and despite cleaning and medicating the site, the skin under it blistered and then split before I noticed because it was on the outside of my shoulder which is not a place I look at much. It's been leaking for the three days since.

I've been covering it with a gauze pad and securing the pad with a large wound dressing that seals all the way around, but overnight the leak got the better of the dressing and I woke up when it started getting my pillowcase and the tank top I was wearing to bed wet. Which is why I'm posting this at 2am while I wait to feel sleepy again.

I have extra-absorbent bandages coming this morning in the mail, and the wound itself is fine -- it's pink and healing and I apply hydrocortisone cream whenever I change the dressing. The "exudate" (fun vocab word of the day) is clear, as it should be. There's no infection, just an overactive histamine reaction. There's not even a smell. It's just gross and wet.

Cannot recommend springing a leak, it is neither fun nor convenient.
