okay, this lends credence to the evaporation theory

the tealights i burn in this jar are almost always the white ones which glow under UV

the sand does not glow under UV

see those whiter flecks? this is in front of a UV light
February 18, 2024 at 11:49 PM
is it paraffin evaporating from the tealights and condensing on the glass somehow??

who knows
February 18, 2024 at 11:42 PM
let's find out
February 18, 2024 at 11:38 PM
i crumbled half of the big lump back into the jar so we'll see what this does if anything

i'm wondering if it's moisture somehow but three tealights should be evaporating any moisture and drying out the immediate area as we've just seen

the white sand seems like a binding element almost

experiment update: not reproduced with the black sand (yet?) although the effect of drying out the top half is quite clear in the colour

and it is actually an exception anyway!

… but, simultaneously my subconscious is screaming "ok but it is pretty obvious and she's talking really slowly do we have to learn this??? jeeeeez"

dutch is SO weird to try to learn, like i didn't know what the plural of dag or its pronunciation was (tho could have deduced), i don't know the days of the week or the months or even the numbers off the top of my head

or the alphabet actually

BUT

y'know a half-decent ops engineer could look at this picture and conclude with >80% confidence that i'm watching TV

(and that's not even taking into account the fact that if i were, there's a high probability that i'd be streaming *from* Akamai in the first place)

experiment time! is it reproducible?

the black sand feels very different to the white or brown, i assume it's volcanic, i think it has a much bigger surface area for the same volume compared to the other two and so possibly can absorb more heat? idk
February 18, 2024 at 6:33 PM
it's solid but crumbly like loose sandstone
February 18, 2024 at 6:24 PM
this is wild

sooooo i think Morrison's scented tealights burn hotter than Tesco's

i open the wikipedia app on my phone instead of googling about 90% of the time and i should default to doing the same on the desktop really

i can go to search engine dot com if i want to actually do that
