Hmm my bowels have been feeling off for the past few days. Some problems with the rear end but nothing crazy. I wonder if this is it or if I just have food poisoning like I figured it was. Anyone know if this can manifest as a less serious bug?

Pushing -20 on top of the this hill here in Sharon. Real feel much worse. Warm enough inside though!

To expand, the 'mass' lost in nuclear reaction is not actually 'matter' (meaning particles) it is just energy stuck in the bonds between particles, not unlike chemical bonds. Of course we observe it as 'mass' because e=mc^2, and there is enough bonding energy to effect the mass we observe, but e=mc^2 does not mean we can obliterate particles into pure energy. The only way to do that is with anti-matter, which we can only make by expending a vast amount of energy (more than we would get back out)
