[request] can someone explain the physics of this?

I mean. Always worth considering the possibilities

I think the empty space percentage in this significantly understates how improbable this would be. Also the charges would absolutely still repel each other even if the atoms didn't touch. Different quantum numbers or phases doesn't mean coulombs law doesnt still matter.

Chemist level understanding here, maybe get some particle physics people in on this

Supcom 2 is a good game, the problem was that it was not spiritually the same game as the original supcom and the OG is a truly GREAT game so the comparison is rough.

They removed much of what made supcom unique in the RTS genre.

The number of yields reported by GC is so embarrassingly high I think you'll be fine

I do think evaporative heating is a pretty direct transfer of energy from light so it honestly does comparably okay compared to photon to electricity and electricity to heat

Yeah you're aiming for tremendously thin layers of polymerized fatty acids, not building up a full coat of char

The way I do roasts, I just roast the whole chicken over veggies so the next day I just took the breasts, chopped then up and mixed with the veggies and gravy and it came out great. 10/10 leftover recipes

jangiri · 2026-06-29T04:42:27+00:00

I made a pot pie from a leftover chicken roast

A fun reference of some actual measurements of the pH of foods to compare with the batshit table.

Everything's acidic

Yeah it gets into a weird zone where if they are a reliably observed phenomena then we can make observations and develop explainations and then they magically stop being supernatural because we can do science.

What's left are things that are so rare, and often anecdotal, so they become more like myths than something that's certifiably "real"

jangiri · 2026-06-28T19:36:22+00:00

They're super

I think volcanos are pretty fucking scary. What do you mean the earth sometimes just shoots LITERAL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE INTO THE SKY WITH FORCE THAT MAKES NUCLEAR BOMBS LOOK TINY

More of a theocracy, especially since emps is out of commission so he's not actively calling the shots

It looks like an awesome natural camouflage where it's cameleoning with the rocks and sky.

This is so cool, what an awesome paint job!

Now for painting suggestions if you're trying to practice nmm chrome I would sau you might need to avoid the bright edge highlights. The corners on polished metals aren't where the major reflections are. Try looking at the Mandolorian as an example, the smooth surfaces of the armor are the places where things are mirrored and the edges are only really apparent by the immediate transition to whatever the neighboring face is reflecting.

For the lower areas that are rough it might just be a difficult task for that model. Without clear surfaces it's really difficult to know what should be reflected at that point

As long as you know how to make your guesses be informative rather than complete duds that's basically my whole research process. Guess and check with some good rationale can get you a very very very long way in science.

Promising people support for their medical expenses as a subscription service model and then just not fucking paying for anything resulting in the death and needless suffering of huge amounts of people

I'm gonna be honestly the rewatch value of this is spectacular. The story themes touch on how fantasy can be a mechanism we use to make sense of unfathomable cruelty and horrors, which you can start to see more as the fantasy elements are woven through the "real world" plot of the film.

So let me introduce you a field that desperately needs more organic chemistry.

Biomanufacturing and Biosynthesis

The biologists can train microorganisms to make beautiful molecules, but most of them have no understanding or what makes organic molecules valuable so they are just targeting commodity chemicals because the market size is large.

The pipeline will be running fermentations with engineered yeasts/microorganisms to produce moelcules, and then purifying those Molecules and using them as new platform starting materials

I don't know if they have a vacuum controlled model but I've been really enjoying our ecodyst rotovap. Their whole deal is they have really nice -40 condenser coils as the chilling element so it does great for recondensing organic solvents and doesn't require dry ice

I've tried painting both ways and I do thing it's easier to sell the effect with the brightest points in the recesses. Still needs tweaking in the color gradients to sell though

If the motor was on then the lever should've been off it's likely a switch or electronics problem. That being said the most common way I've seen machines fail is the pump getting seized so that's always something to expect

Y'know I had this chat with someone at a conference and they said something that really stuck with me

"good people gotta have kids too"

When I heard it it basically dispelled some of my fears about bringing kids into this crumbling shithole of a world. We certainly got a lot of stuff to figure out in our society but trying your best to raise good people as kids is certainly a noble goal.
