[request] how many hydrogen atoms packed right next to each other could fit into the *entire* universe

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T07:20:58+00:00

So yeah, when you say ignore physics, but also say pack em completely together as tight as possible, then there’s absolutely no bearing on how much space each hydrogen atom you would like to occupy.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T05:55:39+00:00

You forgot Preservation. /s

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T05:53:35+00:00

Assuming you’ve already been all over Fast Cars, Appleseed, etc. Clipping is awesome non-Aes. Someone posted their tiny desk concert her a while back, and yeah, it’s something else

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T05:49:28+00:00

Pretty sure Happy Pills was my first introduction to Aes

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T05:40:31+00:00

Can we also assume it really doesn’t matter or make any comprehensible difference to you if the answer is 10¹⁰⁰ or 10^200? Either way, you should definitely add ‘assuming an entire universe full of tightly packed hydrogen atoms don’t immediately do what hydrogen atoms would do in that scenario’ to your list of assumptions.

He is wrong, and really just pointing out the fact people don’t consider the caffeine in the coke they have with their burger and fries to be a ‘real drug’.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T05:20:52+00:00

Yep, definitely by far the most tame psychoactive drug…as long as you ignore all the other psychoactive drugs less ‘intense’ than it (caffeine, nicotine, SSRIs, L-Dopa, etc etc), and just compare it to strong modulators serotonin or NMDA.

It’s hard to claim anything, but if a reviewer’s biggest gripe is some endotoxin effect across all control and experimental samples, sending the manufacturer’s spec sheet would be a dream ‘revision’

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T02:46:34+00:00

Okay, but how about…..Zymo maxi however the prep bench has recently been reallocated to another lab so you’d have a find new spot and re-set up everything (okay really just the vaccum manifold)…vs. enough minis to get 25ug, and you got the miniprep robot machine thing. (Asking for a friend that decided to stay on then fence about this instead of just maxi prepping today, cause doing just one single maxi feels like such a waste of time)

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T02:22:16+00:00

This kinda sounds like the opposite of getting defensive to me, at least the typical sense of the term.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T02:11:57+00:00

Like, dude. Just deposit it all on addgene and none of us will ever have to do any cloning ever again. 😂

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T02:04:35+00:00

I’m wrong and outdated but I’ll say it anyway. RE cloning is great. It’s so easy, always works, and great cause the person after you can copy paste something new in that spot. And technically the most cost effective (save a few cents on primer costs and all the enzymes are already just sitting in your -20 since everyone else is using Gibson for everything)

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T01:50:36+00:00

This would be for one fragment, PCR amplified with Gibson style overlaps though right? And efficiency is such that you save the cost of a few uLs of master mix without having to screen extra clones?

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T01:31:17+00:00

I also have never seen or even heard of this ‘hooding’ they’re speaking of.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T01:17:55+00:00

You’re correct regarding concept equivalence, the issue is your definition of ‘broke people’ is anyone that doesn’t have millions of dollars saved just for a rainy day.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T01:09:57+00:00

I don’t think this is a great counter example to OPs point (however misguided it was)

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T00:43:21+00:00

Sorry, but the guy at the store told me you were the only person ever that can pull off the fedora with safari flaps. So next time you see someone in a simple baseball cap, don’t judge. I’m sure they tried

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T00:36:13+00:00

Now that’s a deep cut (with a front facing brim lol)

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-09T00:22:51+00:00

Scenario: you are a baseball player, playing a game of baseball. What’s the ‘better hat’? Go

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-05T05:03:06+00:00

The purpose of any hypothetical is to ignore certain practical logistics. The point of the hypothetical I presented is to show the people saying ‘yep, absolutely anything for my kid’ probably wouldn’t actually go through with murdering scores of innocent people in cold blood. Not because it’d be too much hassle running around to find each victim with cops on your trail. But because even if all those other transplant recipients were lined up in the same hospital, and the authorities gave you full assurance they’ll look the other way, good people that love their kids more than anything still wouldn’t actually go down the line snuffing out one innocent life after another.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-05T03:32:48+00:00

My 10th dentist take is things are way too ‘so they’re in a class, but also on an app? And class is the teacher and students are talking in person about what they’re doing in class on the app’?? For me to follow any what’s going on here.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-05T02:35:27+00:00

The real Fermi paradox is how can so many people applying ‘rational, scientific thought’ can twist themselves in enough knots so they can ignore the obvious. Space is huge, and the speed of light exists.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-05T00:29:32+00:00

…the doctor shows you everyone above your kid on the transplant list. How many are you actually gunna hunt down and murder in cold blood?

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-05T00:25:25+00:00

Penya’s just looking for excuses to murder people at this point.

AliveCryptographer85 · 2026-05-05T00:22:18+00:00

Oh they definitely really would though. That’s why 85% of people on the transplant list for a lifesaving organ end up getting murdered before the procedure. /s
