I was literally just about to make this board.
Sitting here, daydreaming, trying to find anything imaginable to avoid doing more thermodynamics homework, and within a fantasy where something interested happened I thought about sharing that on the internet. But I couldn't share it just anywhere; it would be too personal to share with friends and family members, and I don't have the time or energy to create a formal blog to keep updated. So anonymously, on 8chan, would be good. But where could it be posted? Anywhere you go, everyone's just going to tell you "not your personal blog", and… well, they'd be right. It isn't. There just isn't a space for something like this. So I decided to investigate making one, went looking, and found this.
I like it. I like the idea. This place needs some traffic, though.
In other news, fucking hell thermodynamics is wrecking me. The math isn't hard, it's simple, even, it's just very, very difficult to intuit. A liquid going through a nozzle from large end to small end experiences a DECREASE in density and temperature? Steam going through a turbine travels from superheated vapor, cooling into a saturated liquid, then evaporating into saturated vapor? What the fuck? The numbers all add up, energy and mass is being conserved, the equations check out… but the results are qualitatively queer as hell. And it doesn't help that I have no real world grounding for any of this stuff. The only nozzles I have any real experience with are faucets, and even there I only have experience with one side of that situation, not both.
We need to get more people in this board. And I need more excuses to not work on thermodynamics homework. Anyone who's reading, lets think of some ways to boost traffic here. Has a post been made on /boards/ relating to this? Should we go scrubbing through boards looking for posts that belong, then redirecting them here so more people are aware of it? I'm game for both.

When you see someone make a post that would normally get the "not your personal blog", just reply with
>>>/blog/.
Also, I checked
http://8ch.net/claim.html and the owner of /blog/ hasn't logged in in over a month, so you could claim this board (since you like it so much).

>>56>http://8ch.net/claim.htmlI didn't know that was actually a thing. Interesting. I'm going to sleep on it, before I jump in head first, but it's certainly a thought. Thanks for the link.
And yeah, I do like the idea of redirecting people here, although it shouldn't come off as dismissive like a lot of redirects do.
