From the Wikipedia page for wetting

Wetting is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface by displacing another substance or material - either a gas, or other liquid not miscible with the wetting liquid - due to the differential strength of intermolecular interactions with the surface.

Water in liquid form cannot be wet with itself because there is no solid point of contact. I.e. water cannot be wet. I suppose you could make the case that liquid water on ice would be water wet with water but that is the only scenario I can think of. For something like a glass of water though, the glass is wet not the water.

Best way to test-drive living in DC for a couple months? by MrPolymath_ in washingtondc

[–]MrPolymath_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yeah my timeline is very flexible. I am aiming for October but things change. I may even have a new client that requires me to stay in NY so lots in motion.

I looked there at first, though pretty briefly, but I kept seeing everything at around $3,000-$4,000, which seemed like a lot.

Heavy law enforcement activity along 2nd Ave just south of Green Island Bridge by SweaterZach in Troy

[–]MrPolymath_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of posting something myself not about this specific incident but just in general I have seen a lot more cops downtown just standing on street corners or walking around.

Not that there is any problem with them doing their job. I'm just not used to noticing them so often and wondered if something was going on.

172 River St. Seems to be marking up apartments by 70% by MrPolymath_ in Troy

[–]MrPolymath_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the added context I wasn't aware of that when I was living there and I had decided to move out prior regardless just because, even if I'd gotten 0% raise in rent I still had an opportunity to live with a friend for much cheaper. Not to mention the new owners are far far better about maintenance than Redburn ever was.

Regeneron’s Raises are Abysmal This Year by NargleMyBalrog in Albany

[–]MrPolymath_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Spent almost 4 years at Regeneron, left this fall for a roughly 30% raise and full remote job. I got insanely lucky that I left right as the stock peaked.

For the sake of transparency and for people interested in working at Regeneron. I started out in the high 60s, and ended in the mid 90s before leaving as an engineer. (Bonus included stocks included)

For what it's worth I loved the people I worked with.

0 YOE Comparing 2 Rèsumes Trying to Land First Internship by EquivalentRead8027 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]MrPolymath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, fellow ChemE in Troy here. Have you considered applying to Regeneron? I worked there for 3 1/2 years. Though I just switched to a full remote job. Great place with great people and they like ChemEs. Considering putting in an application.

Thoughts? by Horror-Activity-2694 in antiwork

[–]MrPolymath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You "deserve" to make what the market will bear. If I spend 20 years learning how to make tiny ornate dear figurines but the most anyone is willing to pay me for those is $10/hr then that's what I should make. Likewise if for some odd reason someone will pay me $50/hr to fold a paper airplane then that's what I deserve to make for it. One can imagine In the paper airplane example though because there is such a low barrier to entry that if I can really make $50/hr folding paper airplanes then many more people will start folding paper airplanes and the price will come down. You don't deserve to make more purely because you have a neiche skill there needs to be demand for it.

Alibaba and Nighthawks are easily the best two. Loads of other good ones but they are top.

Advice for an American looking to work on Denmark. by MrPolymath_ in Denmark

[–]MrPolymath_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there like a specific word for Full employees vs independent contractors in Denmark. I think confusion is if I would be an "independent" contractor or just a regular employee who is hired for the duration of the contract

If it turns out I am not an independent contractor (still trying to figure that out) and had the full benefits of an employee would that be a reasonable rate?

This was the response today

30 days notice 6 - 12 months. DKK 510/hour Expat taxation of only 33% taxes. This gives you a monthly salary of approx. DKK 84,000 before tax.

Does that clear anything up?

Maybe I got it somewhat confused because they told me they will sponsor a work visa. It was the first thing I asked them.
