Which is as it should be, as it’s what Conan is.

too goddamn right. I don’t know why I never realized that before.

It’s all just because Americans edit: the majority of Americans have a pathological aversion to metric prefixes

chemist: da fuq those ecologists doin’ over there?

Yeah, I’m gonna need some more of these to surprise my science-y spouse on Friday

The burden of good taste is always knowing that nobody you met will ever know what the fuck you’re talking about when it comes to music.

No worries! I don’t think the chain needs to be stiff, just tight. From what I can tell, these are called a chain wrench, and I found a demo video.

Hope that helps!

I’m no mechanic either, but it looks like you can tighten the chain around a stuck cap and then use the red handle as a lever to apply a large amount of force, “unsticking” the stuck cap

Man, I just started Man on the Inside by Michael Schur with Ted Danson, and it’s pretty good, but it’s not The Good Place. Looks like it’s time for another rewatch

Folks, if your boo:

• Calls their personality quirks “functional groups”
• Tests you by demanding you elucidate their mechanisms
• Has unexplainable peak splitting between 0 and 10 ppm

That’s not your boo; that’s an organic chemistry

Is stating the self-evident truth considered a meme now?

tell me more…

It does get legitimately used both ways. In a chemistry textbook, seeing it written as “unionized” is pretty common, and wiktionary says that the hyphenated form is predominantly used in contexts where it might be confused with “having a union” (which matches with my experience).

However, I still assert that it’s just not a word chemists use that much as there are other, less ambiguous synonyms available.

I’m an AI/comp-sci novice, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but does running the program locally allow you to better control the information that it trains on? I’m a college chemistry instructor that has to write lots of curriculum, assingments and lab protocols; if I ran deepseeks locally and fed it all my chemistry textbooks and previous syllabi and assignments, would I get better results when asking it to write a lab procedure? And could I then train it to cite specific sources when it does so?

Plus, they are amazing as mixers, so you can always make them alcoholic

See, I’m a chemist, but I also believe in the power and importance of organized labor, so I still read that as unionized.

Plus, I think most chemists would say “neutral” or use protonated/deprotonated rather than un-ionized

I thought for sure this was an Onion article

I think it varies by class of drugs (edit: and how they interact with your personality). I’ve used opiates and benzos before and enjoyed myself without feeling like I’d really care to try it again, but I definitely flirted with disaster/addiction with stimulants for a decade plus and alcohol for my entire adult life.

And it didn’t take long; the first time I tried any stimulant, I chased it (and I’ve tried a lot of them).

Psychedelics, on the other hand, I love and in most people there is little to no danger for addiction. I’d go so far as to say that unless you have a family or personal history of schizophrenia, psychedelics are almost a must for understanding or coming to peace with life, death, and society.

A good psychedelic trip is literally life-changing, and even a bad trip is life-changing if you go into it with a decent trip sitter and the attitude that a bad trip is still just showing you yourself and the things you need to work on.

It’s a reference to the Ship of Theseus thought experiment

I don’t know, the second ship looks like it’s had some bits replaced with after-market parts…

I’m partial to Nazi Punks, Fuck Off, originally by the Dead Kennedys. Napalm Death does a great version, too, if you’re more into grindcore
