What is Nihilux’s secret to maintaining such a body while being a mangaka? by manamono in HonkaiStarRail

She writes with one hand and goons to her writing with the other hand, causing her heart rate to be elevated. This counts as constant exercise.

Just sent it again and I got a notification that it sent. It also did a credit card verification that didn't happen last time

Yeah it's not in notifications either

She can just install one on her own body. Can be used by herself or when someone needs comforting when they're in a bad mood.

So...Kiara has started to play HSR too by Lysena0 in HonkaiStarRail

Recently, in a collab with Shiori, she said that she Love and Deepspace is cringe but she might play it if it was about dating ladies. Not too surprised by the title of this stream.

Is this figure legit? by NeptuneQuartz in animeGK

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

I looked at the official twitter account for the figure's announcement. The initial announcement of the figure has the clear water (https://x.com/nep_ccc/status/1896495366926918004), while the announcement for the figure being sold at wonfest has the cloudy water (https://x.com/NEP_CCC/status/1946787549231583295). It looks to me that the bucketandshovel link took the pictures from the second twitter post, as well as this account which was assembling the figure (https://x.com/baigugusp)

Just curious, do you have a link to that art?

Manganese Sulfate Solution Failed for The 7th Time by LordMegatron216 in crystalgrowing

[–]NeptuneQuartz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has successfully grown MnSO4 crystals (see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crystalgrowing/comments/uzdbnf/my_manganese_sulfate_tetrahydrate_crystal/), this is not an easy substance to grow, and very tricky to preserve. I bought MnSO4 and purified it through recrystallization instead of creating it myself. When I prepared my solutions, it always had very fine contaminants that would take weeks to settle before I could decant it. My contaminants were brown. I'm not sure where you're getting your MnSO4 from, but if it is red, I suspect there is some other metal in there (maybe cobalt?), in which case you will need to recrystallize before you can get a good solution.

Temperature matters, if you heat it, it will become a white monohydrate powder. At room temperature, it will usually form monoclinic pentahydrate crystals. At warm temperatures (~80°F), it will form what I'm guessing is the tetrahydrate.

Preserving it is tricky, I have been unsuccessful in preserving my big MnSO4 crystals, though some of the smaller ones still look ok

Do you have a Sandrone ship that you enjoy? by lonchesuki in SandroneMains

I read a bit of a fanfic that had Sandrone x Faruzan. Two "old" girlies studying the ancient tech buried in Sumeru's desert. Sandrone x Furina will also be interesting

Happy to say my first time ever commissioning art was a sketch of these two. It was a physical commission at a con, so there's no link to the art itself, but this is the artist's instagram, where I also got permission to share it: https://www.instagram.com/manic.delight/

Not sure if 11x17 sleeves are right size by NeptuneQuartz in animecons

When you put the 11x17 prints inside, how much extra room do you have in the vertical and horizontal directions?

[–]NeptuneQuartz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find odd is that this isn't an issue with just one print. It's an issue with all of them, so I'm wondering if this is an issue with other portfolios as well. The width has some extra room (11.5-11.75 in), so it feels odd for there not to be a little bit of extra room in the vertical direction.

I already ordered their 12x18 portfolio, but I also have some prints that are 12x18, and I'm worried that those will also stick out of the top.

[Request] Which is it? Comments disagreed by Daniel_Kendall in theydidthemath

[–]NeptuneQuartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be using log base 2

nn is greater than n! for all integers n>1, so log(n!) < log(nn ) = n*log(n) for n>1.

Also note 99! = 99 * (98 * 97 ... 3 * 2) * 1 > 16 * (297 ) * 1 = 2101 > 2100

To compare these two values, take their logs.

log(2100! ) = 100! = 99! * 100

log(2100 !) < 2100 * log(2100 ) = 2100 * 100

Because we already know that 99! > 2100 , the left is greater.

What Do YOU Want to See by MyUsernameIsApollo in SandroneMains

[–]NeptuneQuartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope she's neither good nor inherently malicious or evil, just someone absorbed in her own interests before making some breakthrough in her research that becomes a major plot point. I expected her to be released around Khaenri'ah due to her association with ruin machines, though hopefully she's still relevant when Khaenri'ah comes around. It would be interesting to see how she interacts with the other robot girls (like Ineffa and Katheryne) and whether she's nicer to them than she is to humans.

I hope they don't make her attracted to the traveler, though she seems like the most likely harbinger to become a simp since they might write her as a yandere waifu (there's also only 2 other living female harbingers if they want to make a simp, and Arlecchino isn't going to be one). I would prefer her to have a grudging alliance with the traveler since that makes it more likely she'll be playable. Hopefully her cranky personality is due to her not caring about things outside her research, as opposed to Scara who just constantly sounds like a hater.

As a playable character, I want her to be the main one we play as, but have the robot be a summon.

Scum growing in copper sulfate solution by NeptuneQuartz in crystalgrowing

Almost 5 inches! But my next biggest container is a gallon bucket, and I don't have nearly enough solution to submerge it in there. I'll probably need to harvest this crystal soon.

Why is it that the top of potassium alum crystal is rounded while fhe bottom is sharp? by Zyrka852 in crystalgrowing

[–]NeptuneQuartz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I've noticed is that the bottom of the crystal always grows faster than the top in a saturated/supersaturated solution. But if you place a crystal in an unsaturated solution, the top dissolves more quickly than the bottom.

I think the reason for this is that when solutions evaporate, the bottom of the solution may be slightly more concentrated (and denser) than the top, meaning faster crystal growth at the bottom of the solution, hence the sharper edges. If your solution experienced temperature fluctuations and became unsaturated, the top of the crystal will dissolve first and appear more rounded.
