going "those arent gods" is very much gnosticism too lmao

that sounds a lot like questioning, brother

#

i think the logical solution is more huron-directed

remote wadi
#

They made the empire to get fcked over

The logical solution is take it for urself

#

Self preservation

winged jacinth
#

since buying in with chaos is an obvious trap if you're not already seduced by it, you'd want to spin off your own feifdom

remote wadi
#

Abbadon didn't fall for chaos

He seduced chaos and didn't realize he is doing what they want

Chaos doesn't want to win

Abbadon winning isn't a win

Not for chaos
Not for humanity

the one thing that pisses me off about the comments under the trailer is that people think warriors and immortals never miss

its an evolution from guncotton through nitrocellulose

there's a bunch of things i wish i had the space to do

maybe even iron

crystal forum
winged jacinth

its not a chemical precursor in the process sense but the idea came from it

didnt nobel create dynamite though

winged jacinth
#

using nitric and sulfuric acids you basically react cellulose to have similar reactive nitrogens along the polymer

he did yeah

that's like the actually usable version of nitroglycerin

because by itself it's way too reactive

im planning on a doctorate but im going into biochemistry yeah

You planning on going into research?

research or transgenic stuff, maybe biochemical engineering if that keeps developing as a field

im currently retraining from computer science so i have lots of extremely in demand programming skills

right now im working on a bioinformatics project about transcription factor binding sites in bacterial genomes

Hard!

im going back to uni because of how bad it is

i never finished my BS in computer science i started working first and did my time as a DBA

I just do nutritional testing for foodstuff, would rather die than do research and develop new methods. Lemmie do the tests someone else figured out

i love research

#

my best job was in R&D

I technically can do research if I want, I just don't wanna

and am not obligated to do so

Plus if I did it would have to be in addition to my actual workload

i like doing new things because nobody can tell you how to do it

and i hate being told how to do shit

laid off during covid, went "my career will never progress without a degree i should go back to school" > AI kept shitting up the CS job market and i was a lot less enthusiastic after it being my livelihood for years > decided to completely retrain

i very much dont want to be in academia

it's like nepotism but for intellectualism

winged jacinth
#

if you really want to research your thing that's not obviously profitable you have to go that path but then you need to do fucking grants and grad students and probably teach part of the year...

#

and then you make no money

#

i will let go of my ethical issues with big pharma if they pay me enough

crystal forum
#

the system favors results so you have to take already treaded paths... which leads to barely revolutionary science

but you're also expected to make huge discoveries every time

my research is an extension of work done on e coli in a completely different non-extensible way

what happens if you use the other

sticky notes are very useful if you have ADHD

The concentrations basically only matter to get the PH right tbh because the enzyming process has a couple of stages where you need to correct the PH before adding the next reagent. So even if I messed up making the buffer solution it would be caught during the PH checks

We have lockers we can't use because the people who had the keys retired and took them with them

winged jacinth
#

people solve for speed, number of parts, a metric called "area" thats complicated, and an unofficial metric called "overall" which i like thats just the sum of the three

#

so you end up making machines that are small and part efficient but also fast, which tend to be elegant

crystal forum

coders should learn this stuff more from what i've heard

#

bloatware is just too prevalent these days

for some fucking reason

you do not always get to make efficent solutions

crystal forum
arctic talon

because those almost always need more time and debugging

winged jacinth

the people with cycle records will have a thousand parts and manually time out all of the products needed to win instead of looping lol

efficiency is
A: hard

also making something fast doesn't always mean its efficent

literally adding less code should be better

There was also a whole thing where one of the reagents we work with is a controlled substance and is supposed to be closely logged and have it's usage monitored because the police could spot check at any time.
