  • 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

  • I never thought he’d do it on purpose

    Me neither; not because he's better than that, but because I didn't think his ego would let him pretend to take the L. Jokes on me! It seems like his handlers and the billionaires he surrounds himself with are (just) smart enough to play his ego to their own advantage.

  • As someone mentioned earlier, this reeks of a "pump and dump" scheme.

    1. Trigger an easily avoidable economic crisis
    2. Watch the stock market tank
    3. Wait for you and your oligarch friends to buy assets for a song
    4. Cancel the "crisis"
    5. Profit

    The fact that Trump pretended to be unaware of the effects of the threatened tariffs on the stock market is pretty indicative of him knowing exactly what the effects would be...

  • 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

  • Remember when Republicans were whinging about “unelected bureaucrats” and the “shadow government”?

    "Always has been"

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

  • tell me more...

  • Unionized

  • 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

  • Unionized

    Jump
  • 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

  • No, they don't believe him; they just don't care and this gives them plausible deniability

  • It wouldn't matter because the Senate will just pretend like he's a reasonable nominee regardless of his past actions or current beliefs.
