After I saw John sitting on the closed lid of the record player I put a piece of aluminum foil on top of it to act as an antimacatter.

Get the antimacatter mug.An antimacasser is a small mat--usually crocheted or tatted but maybe embroidered on silk, linen, cotton or wool of woven cloth--which was used in Victorian and Edwardian times to protect the top back and sometimes arms of upholstered chairs and sofas from men's hair oil. Macassar oil was a common hair oil made from palm or coconut oil and usually scented with Ylang-ylang. The name is taken from the port of Makassar in Indonesia from which the product was imported.
The old lady's room was crowed with heavy mahogany furniture, deeply carved, upholstered with dusty, crimson plush with intricate crochet antimacassar mats draping the backs of the chairs, still emitting the faint, stale sent of the hair oil of by-gone generations of gentlemen.

The Nissan Altima is a mid-size car that has been manufactured by Nissan since 1992. It is a continuation of the Nissan Bluebird line, which began in 1955.
1st gen 1993–1997
2nd 1997 – July 2001
3rd 2001 – 2006
4th gen2007–2012 (sedan)
2008–2013 (coupe)
5th gen 2012 – 2018
2013–2020 (outside North America and China)
6th gen August 2018 to present.
Now for the real definition,
Nissan Altima , a car owned and driven
By a lot of 304's & baby momma's.
You can't knock their vehicle though
Atleast they ain't walking or taking
The Bus but 9 times outta 10 if a female
Owns one of these she's likely a 304 or
Baby momma.

Get the Nissan Altima mug.Antimatter is literally matter which is the inverse or opposite of matter; particles which have charges opposite of regular matter.
Antimatter was first predicted by P.A.M. Dirac in his theory of quantum mechanics in 1928. Antiparticles were found soon after by Carl Anderson. Since then, research centers such as CERN and Fermilab produce antimatter particles on a daily basis. CERN uses a Proton Synchrotron machine to accelerate protons and then they inject them into the Antiproton Decelerator - a gigantic circular machine with a diameter of 18 km. Here the protons are smashed into a copper or iridium block of metal. The abrupt stop from such an incredible speed (about the speed of light) results in an enormous amount of energy released into a small volume, resulting in extreme temperatures greater than 10,000,000,000,000 Celsius. This enormous amount of heat and energy results in the spontaneous creation of matter-antimatter particles.
When antimatter comes in contact with regular matter - earth, air, whatever - it annihilates immediately in a 100% efficient reaction. A popular misconception is that this antimatter-matter reaction will someday allow antimatter for use as a source of fuel, or power source. Unfortunately, this is an impossible reality. Since antimatter is not found anywhere on Earth naturally (obviously), it must be created. With the equation E=mc2, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a net gain of matter: the energy required running the accelerators would ALWAYS be more than the energy antimatter produced.
It's true that a quarter gram of antimatter has as much power as the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. This raises concern as to whether it could eventually be yielded as a terrorist device. Fortunately, it is IMPOSSIBLE to collect and store antimatter at this great of a density, and even if it were possible, with the current technology it would take billions and billions of years to yield that much. In fact, if CERN were to have kept all of the antimatter it ever produced; it would be enough to power a light bulb for about three seconds. Anyways, even with these things aside, it's completely impractical considering how much time, money, and energy is required to create antimatter.

Get the Antimatter mug.One of the sweetest, most genuine people out there. He is so loving, caring, talented, pretty much everything! His smile lights up a whole room. He also has a great sense of humor, he understands everything. If you are so lucky & get to love this boy, love him with your whole heart because he will do the same. He will make sure you know that you are loved and that he cares about you more than most people in his life. He will make you his first priority because that's how much you mean to him. Even if you don't get the chance to love him (which you are probably missing out) , he will still make sure that you feel cared for. If you're feeling sad, he will be there in a blick of an eye to make sure your okay. If you are his one and only, the love of his life, you will never experience someone like him EVER. He is one of the most loving people you will ever meet. He will text you "good morning" & "good night" everyday and ask how your day was, what your doing, because he cares! If you ever encounter an Artim, make sure to keep them close because they will be one of the best people you will ever meet.
Friend: *crying*
Artim: Hey, whats wrong?!
Friend: My boyfriend (or girlfriend) just broke up with me!
Artim: Don't cry, you should be positive!! They weren't worth it because you are such an amazing person & you will find your soulmate that will love you and appreciate you way more than this other person did. Just keep your head up and look on the bright side.
Friend: Thank you so much Artim, that really made my day. :)
