I'm sorry to sound impatient, but...

[Bluehorazon]

I'm torn on Aluminum/Aluminium - the British chemist that identified it named it "Aluminum", along the same linguistic lines as "Platinum", "Molybdenum" etc., but the international chemistry governing body changed it to "Aluminium". By habit I use the international name, but I have no objection to the original British name that the Americans still use.

Since 1993 Aluminum and Aluminium are accepted. So you can call it however you want. But since it is followed by Gallium, Indium and Thallium it makes more sense to call it Aluminium, since Gallum, Indum and Thallum sounds kinda strange.


And well I use the time until the next pack comes out to test some of the newer mods. The 1.5.2 Pack and propably even more so the 1.6 pack will contain some new mods which i want to test before, so I can decide whether I want to play with them or not.

I definitely won't be changing my world after the update, I have to much already done, is it something most people do once an update comes out?

I believe so, yes. I even reset multiple times in the same version. The beginning is the funniest part

Please proceed to the nearest exit.

hows about no?

In a few years when we enter the graphene age almost everything will be made from carbon, no one will care how to pronounce or spell aluminwhatever

You mean other then all life on this Earth?

 

[Dackstrus]

I'm waiting for them to get something on 1.5.2 that has forge so i can more easily smash my extra mods into something i can use.

.....Damn i'm lazy...

Probably not. Aluminum is something of a super-metal, and it represents a major stage in human industrialization to have it.

Working with some of these things I doubt it. And I doubt the few years and that it will replace aluminium, aluminium is way too common on our planet to ignore it (actually it is more common than carbon, so well why not use it, and it is the most common metall on the surface and only beaten by silizium and oxygen, while carbon is as rare as titanium or vanadium).

You are^^. It isn't that hard to get MultiMC and build a 1.5.2 Instance with the latest Forge-Build^^.

Generally threads get derailed when they're too limiting, boring or stupid enough to keep people interested in the OP

Or when you have concerns with someone's grammar.

 

[Fuzzlewhumper]

I feel like getting this thread back on topic again...

So, my bet was for the 1.5 stuff to be up last night ... I was wrong.

Who want's to be wrong next?

 

[tehBlobLord]

France is pretty easy too.

HEY!
I live in france!
And I would defend the place but... Most of the stereotypes are true.
So true.

carbon is as rare as titanium or vanadium..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

"Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. It is present in all known life forms, and in the human body carbon is the second most abundant element by mass (about 18.5%) after oxygen."

"the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, andoxygen."

Yes, but good quality carbon is hard to find. For example, most of the posters on this forum are made from the very lowest grade of carbon.

 

[Fuzzlewhumper]

I take vitamins.

 

[Lambert2191]

your efforts to sound witty are lost on most of these low quality carbon lifeforms. Try ED, no carbon in him

If Guswut was still alive I would put forward a theory that he is a silicon-based life form.
Of course, everyone knows that Blobs are made essentially of water and contain nearly no carbon.

Like anyone can even know that

 

[fergcraft]

well bad or good we all breath out carbon dioxide so I feel no matter what I'm helping trees

 

[Virgoddess]

Speaking of aluminum, does it bother anyone else to touch it? It's weird, but it skeeves me out.

 

[RandomMoped]

So apparently now this thread is about:

France
America
Aluminum
The Economy
Edit: And Carbon

you forgot carbon
