The man. The legend. A beautiful constant in a universe where everything was unpredictable, we had him. From dust to dust and into shadows. We will miss you. I find it fitting I came across this terrible horrible news in a class where we were discussing goodness and hero’s and legends. Thank you, Stan, for creating incredible hero’s, for giving me a universe to fall in love with, for bringing so much joy to my life through you hero’s. You are a hero Stan. We stan Stan Lee. Much love and prayers to the family.
Soot tags gather after fires in areas with low circulation. They are not, as commonly believed, ash covered spider webs.
oh, well then what the FUCK are they???
They’re made of sticky particles from a polymer or petroleum based fire, like burning carpet, drapes, upholstery, and clothes. Due to a static charge, they chain together and naturally gather near ceiling corners because the rising hot air pushes them into the cool spots by convection.
Because they’re formed by static electricity, they can only be removed with professional chemicals and equipment. Attempting to remove them improperly will only break the chain before all the soot can be captured, leaving the remaining soot to spontaneously reform the webs later. Even worse, trying to wipe or wash them away can firmly adhere the soot to your wall or ceiling, which will permanently stain it.
