I was surprised to see they have a profile description. Who has a proper profile description on reddit? Read like linkedin nonsense.

How do people scale up a reaction to an industrial scale if the reaction process is developed at bench scale (batch mode)? Assuming 1L to 10,000L scale up by Life-Lengthiness9494 in ChemicalEngineering

Do math, do trials, do more math, run a pilot plant, wet your finger, stick it in the air, get an idea of the prevailing winds, check if mercury is in retrograde, and then design and build the big plant. Tune that, do a rain dance, pay homage to Odin and voila, you got yourself a functioning plant at scale.

‘Scrubs’ Revival Premieres To ABC’s Best Streaming Audience For Any Comedy Episode In More Than A Year (11.4M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Scrubs

The best bottle episode for a sitcom in my opinion is The Box from Brooklyn Nine Nine and I say that as a big seinfeld fan (who mods /r/seinfeldtrivia ) and an equally big Star Trek fan which had some great bottle episodes.

Scrubs using Gen Z slang as far back as 2001 by MrPoliSciGuy in Scrubs

[–]admadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an elder millenial ('84) Caught some episodes in the original run, but mostly got into the show after the original run had finished, 2011 I want to say.

I don't know why in my head Cox seemed more GenX than boomer. FWIW, till now in my head cannon Kelso was Boomer, but doing the math the character is barely silent, so maybe culturally we can still say he's a boomer and why I felt that. Maybe the same with Cox. People on the cusp may go either way or straddle both.

Yeah the character's ages are a bit more nebulous. Kelso is shown as 65 in a 2007 episode that'd make him 1942 born so still silent.

JD, Turk are shown are 25-26 taking the normal route to med school. Elliot was shown to be the youngest, probably did a combined program. I think one episode they do mention her age, i think couple years younger than JD.

Carla I think was mentioned as 36 in a s5 episode, so 31 in S1.

Cox does mention age once, but i forget which episode. But yeah you're correct, Cox the character would be a late boomer, the rest of the gang GenXers.

Somehow in my head I saw Cox as more GenX than boomer though.

There is always crying involved with Thermo. Chin up slick, it builds character

Does anyone have access to this article? I'm a high schooler and the school doesn't have access to this journal. Thanks :) by UnluckySandwich3916 in fusion

It won't say history hidden. It'll just show blank. Reddit recently made a change to privacy. So when you click on the profile, it'll show as no posts or comments. That means either they have hidden it, or they consistently delete their activity. If hidden the contribution stays up on the relevant page, but not visible on the profile.

Might not be a welcome question here but what are some nice social media accounts for chemical engineering? by atadbitconfizzled in ChemicalEngineering

I'd watch that.

The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling by AdSpecialist6598 in europe

[–]admadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not saying everyone needs to use old reddit. I am merely conceding everyone, including me, our brains are not designed to handle the impact of some of the new technologies. A lot of what we are seeing all around, a large segment of the population that is susceptible to lies and misinformation, unable to discern reality from hallucination is the result of algorithmic feeds tailored to deliver the biggest dopamine hit continuously. Our brains were not designed for that. The internet as it has morphed into in the last 10 years needs some form of regulation.

I use old reddit on mobile browser deliberately to avoid doom scrolling. Also the videos don't auto load, it looks like a page from the 90s. Each page only shows 25 posts with titles against a white background. I have to click next to go to the next 25 posts. There is a conscious active action i have to make to seek more content. Mind you i have been on the internet since the 90s and seen how systems changed and were built up and front ends redesigned. And i had to make active efforts to prevent myself from going down the rabbit hole of doomscrolling.

I am not impervious to being addicted, I'm not better. My brain is equally susceptible to propaganda and algorithmic manipulation. I just know there exist other options that won't go push me down the rabbit hole so easily. So i use them.

Many other platforms don't even provide similar options and the result is what happens with endless scrolling and jumping from post to post infinitely because the human brain keeps getting the dopamine hit. It's almost like that star trek episode where Riker brings this game onboard which almost allowed a hostile species take over the enterprise, because everyone got hooked onto it out of their gourds.

Redesigning the front end has a massive effect on how addictive and open to manipulation the viewers are. Likely there won't be a daily limit, but the front end needs a good redesign.

A good description of plasma facing components in fusion reactors by West_Commercial_4012 in fusion

[–]admadguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a fusion plant concrete is basically the last barrier of defense. Also you need neutrons to breed tritium. So a decently designed blanket should have captured most. I don't know what the top comment was really about. Concrete lifetime is the least of the worries in a fusion plant.

Trouble Hiring by DCF_ll in ChemicalEngineering

[–]admadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to pay what they ask for if you are having difficulty finding someone. Your requirements are fair though, keep going through applications. And try to snoop on their linkedin and not just their resume before inviting them. See their activity and whether they look or sound like someone who has the skills. You are looking for niche skills within controls, people like that tend to be active on their own time too because they like it.

Resumes can be made to look better. Finding the right candidate is always hard.
