  • As anyone in science will tell you, doing research is basically 99.9% trusting experts, and 0.1% doing something new.

  • Trying for academia turned me off of chemistry so hard, I even started to hate my later corporate job doing research.

    Though it did get me into regulations and safety, so it all worked out fine. If things had been different, they would have been different, but academia was a massive disillusionment for me.

    It sounds weird to say that doing research for someone's increasing personal wealth was much more enjoyable for me, since the funding was just there, and I didn't have to teach students or write grant proposals I never wanted to complete.

  • I have a PhD because I thought I wanted to go into research. And while I loved research, that didn't come close to cancelling out how much I loathed all the non-research shit you need to do for funding and keeping a job.

    Then I went from academia into corporate R&D, and realized I basically started to hate doing chemistry in general. Mostly because it reminded me of all the stuff I hated.

    Im now super happy as a safety consultant, and my PhD sometimes helps in convincing people that I do in fact know more than them. It also covers an ugly spot in the wallpaper, a purpose it fulfills much more frequently.

    Am I the crazy one for walking around the house nude & feeling safe and comfy?

    Jump

  • Naked? Hell no.

    Sports bra and boy shorts is more than what I wear to the swimming pool though.

    But I wouldn't answer the door wearing that.

  • UK falling behind EU on environmental rules amid post-Brexit rollback

  • "falling behind" makes it sound like it isn't intentionally running the other way.

  • Shit like this is why we need open source printers!

  • I haven't seen an actual plotter in decades, they're all just large format printers nowadays.

  • Switzerland says it won’t arrest Putin if he comes for peace talks

  • Well, I certainly won't arrest Putin if he comes over to my place. Nope, definitely not!

  • Are there any issues where conservatives are correct?

    If you look at earlier 19th and early 20th century conservatives, they absolutely make pretty good points.

    More than a few social safety systems world wide were instituted by conservatives, under the thinking that people are fucking shit to eachother and thus it falls to institutions to take care of basic needs. A famous example is the German welfare state created by Bismarck.

    A lot of natural beauty has been protected by conservatives, because they used to believe in actually conserving things.

    Conservatives of the past have done a LOT of good in preventing and reversing government overreach in personal liberties.

    I could have absolutely had a great discussion with a conservative from 1925. We would have some major disagreements, but more than a few similarities. And a modern conservative would loathe everything about that same past conservative.

  • It's a good thing that Fascism and Marxiism/Leninism aren't the only two options.

  • The death toll at the Elastic gunpowder factory in Russia's Ryazan region has risen to 23. A fire triggered an explosion in a warehouse storing shells loaded with TNT.

  • To quote myself a few days ago:

    "That does NOT look like an explosion that only kills 5 people"
