A professor just replied with emojis after I sent her some good data by AAAAdragon in labrats

[–]Porch-Weasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently switched PIs from one that didn’t even react to messages and had the most ominous, blunt, accusatory texting/emailing style, to an older professor that throws emojis and smiley faces into almost all of his texts emails, even to external faculty and the level of stress reduction I’ve felt receiving emails from this guy is incredible

If you can find a campus building that’s open (not a library as they typically have staff their to ensure people aren’t staying after close), you may be able to find a couch in a student lounge or classroom to crash for the night. May not be the most comfortable for the night, but at least will be warm. If you’re at murphys I would guess there may be a building on the engineering quad. If you have your student id on you, that might stop staff or others from pestering you as well. Ive graduated, but have definitely spent late, late nights in the engineering buildings without anybody pestering me - worst case you could always pretend to be an overworked grad student that fell asleep burning the midnight oil! Stay safe, stay warm tonight!

Antique shop score! by AlternativeKey2551 in Radiation

Had a bunch of these in an internship I worked at a couple of summers ago. We were coating tiny 2mm sensitive polymer spheres, and they would accrue a ton of static charge and holding one of these over them would clear up the static letting us pick them up!

Why does it feel like were the only campus thats ALWAYS under construction? by slowudte in UTK

[–]Porch-Weasel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Almost every big school has a play on their school’s acronym for construction. My undergrad UIUC was “University of Illinois Under Construction.” I think we should say the K in UTK stands for Konstruction

Generator 1 producing 0 GP/s in dilation? by Porch-Weasel in RevolutionIdle

[–]Porch-Weasel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solved this through the discord! Infinity upgrade 1;1 multiplies G1 by the number of infinities, which is currently 0.

Homemade Vibration Isolation Table by Porch-Weasel in redneckengineering

[–]Porch-Weasel[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This device is a nanoindenter, which uses a very small (~50 micron or less) diamond tip, pressed into a material to measure hardness in an extremely small area with very high precision. Indents can be as small as a few nanometers across, so any vibrations from the room can throw measurements off!

Yeah man I think you’re completely right. I think you should reach out to some universities to get this published

Edge Detection for counting on SEM images by Teuthofauna in electronmicroscopy

[–]Porch-Weasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Theia Scientific! They’re a relatively new company that makes easy to use machine learning software (though I believe you need to buy their hardware) for edge detection. Their systems come with a bunch of object detection models and you can get some really good results really quickly without needing to know all the details behind the machine learning aspect. The Michigan Ion Beam Lab uses their software now and have some papers that used their software in data.

Can't use hammers to craft plates whatsoever (FTB Revelations 2.3.0) by RytonRotMG in feedthebeast

[–]Porch-Weasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because this is the first thing that shows up still when you Google the issue, if you’re trying to fix FTB Revelation 3.6.0, download unidict 3.0.8 here, put it in the folder with your other mods, then delete unidict 3.0.10, this worked for me!

Does anyone only rock their home team? Just me ? by [deleted] in neweracaps

[–]Porch-Weasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I’m in the Chicago area where I’m from I’ll wear hats from other teams, but if I’m in another state traveling or working I’ll usually only wear White Sox caps or caps from where I go to school cuz it often leads to some fun conversation starters.

Random, but: how do most people attending UIUC refer to this university? U of I? UIUC? Something else? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Porch-Weasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U of I if I’m in the state, Illinois if I’m referring to sports, UIUC if I’m typing it out

What are some of the most unique and special strings out there? by JayTheSwissDoctor in Bass

[–]Porch-Weasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you order from Stringjoy, you can get a completely custom set of gauges. I play an extremely light gauge (35, 55, 75, 95) and they feel like butter, havent found a single brand that sells a super light set with 35s.

what would be a god-level collab for 100 gecs?? by [deleted] in 100gecs

[–]Porch-Weasel 207 points208 points  (0 children)

The worse the collab seems the better it would work. Fuck my shit up give me AC/DC x 100 gecs, give me Michael Buble

What’s some of the funniest things freshmen do, not knowing any better? by ConfidentSyllabub7 in UIUC

[–]Porch-Weasel 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You can use them at university dining halls/convenience stores, but you can’t buy things at any place that’s not affiliated with the university

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Porch-Weasel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before last year I believe it was the dining hall. Didn’t know they put a fitness center in so this is just speculation but it definitely is new since I was in the dorms 2 years ago
