Molten water

OUT! Let us not muddy the waters further!
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

"Ayn Rand never swung a hammer in her life and had serious dominance issues" - The Fountainhead

"World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation."
- Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality :lulz:

"You program the controller to do the thing, only it doesn't do the thing.  It does something else entirely, or nothing at all.  It's like voting."

Molten water

Molten means liquid metal.  Like iron.  Or Waffle pee.

Not water.

Any attempt at numbers that isn't writing down arabic numerals is destined for failure. We only got that shit right once.

Also, there is no need to add the word "machine" after "ATM". The 'M' already has that covered.

Look if I want to stick my CAC card into the ATM machine, punch in my PIN number to withdraw some cash, then that is my right as an American.

We have an adjective that we use almost exclusively for lava. YOU ALREADY SAID IT'S LAVA, BRO, WE DON'T NEED A SECOND WORD THAT YOU ONLY USE FOR LAVA TO DESCRIBE THE LAVA-NESS OF THE LAVA.





Both of those are lava.

It may have been, 400 years ago when it was molten.

I was under the impression that once lava solidified it was no longer lava but basalt. I may be mistaken. The internet isn't doing a fantastic job of clearing this up for me :/
