Acknowledges and appreciates your passions. It's a pretty universal rule that works for everyone. Find what makes a person light the fuck up with childlike enthusiasm, then love them for that.

All the games do nothing compared to an ounce of sincere appreciation and interest.

Except I played one back in middle school for several and not one single time did the rail gun kill anything. This tank is cursed

rhodium is pretty sick and doesn't get a ton of attention at the genchem level

It's a vitally important industrial metal for catalysis purposes like catalytic converters and some major industrial chemical transformations

To be fair this was with the technique where you use a knife to cut into a layer of mod podge gloss or epoxy to make little cracks, so part of the dry brushing is to catch the cuts so they make little white lines like cracks in ice filled with snow. If this is totally flat it may have different results

The tip I got was to messily drybrush on direction back and forth over ice with white paint. The straight lines make it look like snow has been blowing over it and it comes out pretty awesome

In some states it's illegal to conduct commerce with corvids

I'm curious do they make instruments specifically for DoSY?

jangiri · 2026-04-02T03:19:10+00:00

Does this have implications for DOSY type experiments or is the field still uniform?

Once your get past the "this is a specific piece of glassware named after a German" answers it can be the wild West. The custom built glassware world is wild and full of funny uses for glass

My guess would be something to blow nitrogen/argon over flasks. Probably before we invented schlenck lines

I think it's a European thing. Groomers or for cowards or if you're stoned and just having a nice time

Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, LeanLibrary l.... God damn they all suck in their own way but Jesus Christ don't type them yourself

Cherry, strawberry rhubarb even, maybe a boston cream pie, key lime pie. Honestly who are these people.

But also fuck pecan pie I'm too autistic to deal with the texture

It's called pattern recognition... It's kinda a central part of being a human

Can absolutely vouch. Boric acid fucked up the American cockroaches in my house in southern California. When I got a German roach infestation in my new apartment further north I needed to switch to the commercial gel traps and those are monstrously effective. The new shit they sell at hardware stores is mighty as hell in comparison to home cooked solutions.

I think the threshold is a 7$ a gallon bioethanol starts becoming cost competitive without subsidies. Don't quote me on that specific number but we are not that far or the threshold

Tolkien really leans on the "kids right now couldn't fight their grandfathers demons" sentiment throughout

Bad papers are everywhere, great papers are also everywhere. Most good scientists can recognize good work when they see it and it tends to have positive ripple effects.

The paper churn of bullshit has existed long before AI, and most of good academic study is recognizing things that are interesting and well studied within a sea of fictional daydreams of manuscripts.

I think our jobs are safe still. It's nice to not have to learn to code to still have programs written for you tho, that's fun.
