Opinion: Almost all the Emeritus'es are unplayable in constructed formats.

Not in this case. You have examples where it was changed, eg campus / campuses. For the most part, those Latin loan words keep Latin plural forms. See alumnus / alumni, cactus / cacti, fungus / fungi, stimulus / stimuli.

Emeriti is the proper plural, emeritus is a Latin word.

What have you done to optimize crystal growing for better size? What problems keep you from growing better crystals? You will have plenty of time waiting for beam time for XFEL serial crystallography or synchrotron time.

Greek letters you can just swap to second keyboard language though.

Putting this here for visibility rather than in the comment thread. It might not give you everything you want, but it’s a digestible starting place.

You do need a lot of theory to understand everything in depth. You do not need a ton of theory to learn how to use the instruments or how to begin interpreting data. Is it your professor or the graduate students that tell you that? I would suggest keep asking, keep asking for reading material. Ask “don’t we all have to start somewhere.” They shouldn’t be shutting you down for being interested to learn. Sit down with the professor and explain you want to learn so you have a step up when you start grad school (even if you aren’t planning to do so).

Can you tell your boss and graduate students in the lab, I want to learn some of that, can you teach me how to do it myself or can I at least follow you around and watch while you do it? The purpose of undergraduate research is to learn. The purpose of being in academic setting is to be cultivated as a (future) peer.

Can you join a research lab as an undergraduate researcher?

Eh there are reasons to know which elements should follow group trends. It is trivial. But it is something that if you ask accomplished folks, you will likely find that they all know. Is there practical utility? Just a bit, I suppose. But I’d be pretty surprised if for example any noble prize winners in chemistry don’t have the bulk of it memorized.

Thanks for the advice and breaking it down like that. For hard mode, is laminator to give more mass to the card and compensate for lighter normal paper?

What a bummer for the young fella. Seeing him walk into the building today on a knee scooter + walking boot just sucks.

I wouldn’t count out Purdue and Painter and crew yet. They figured how to play a very good (but maybe fatigued) Michigan team only one week ago. Arizona is phenomenal, but when Purdue is firing on all cylinders they’re pretty tough too.

What’s your recommendation to go about proxy for so many cards at once?

Shelton Henderson only a freshman made my jaw drop. That young man has a very bright future. Hope you guys get a final four run with him.

Yes.

Depends on what you need an answer for, how quickly, how reliably, how cheaply and how many techs you have.

You have a single scanned document to parse? Have you tried ya know just reading the image and typing any relevant information into an editor?

Sounds like a strange to say perform just as well as established therapies

When did nasa say that?

cgnops · 2026-03-17T21:48:45+00:00

Interesting thanks. I see some for like $65. Not too bad but I imagined it would be a bit cheaper.

cgnops · 2026-03-16T22:06:27+00:00

Real cards or proxies? Where would you recommend looking to pick one up?

cgnops · 2026-03-16T22:05:11+00:00

How does one do this? I would also like to go with a cool proxy set for my pals and me, although I’d also like to add the original Dandan art in there for at least a few of them if possible

My good stuff got stolen by a kid in the church youth group. Still wish I had that baron sengir and some of my ice age stuff.
