How am I supposed to identify all the unmarked containers of clear liquids if not by smell? You want me to drink them now??
- Comment on Why does my back hurt? 2 weeks ago:
When you said glove boxes, I was thinking about all the times I hit my head on the glove boxes and Kim wipe boxes that were mounted to the front of our hoods above the sashes.
You probably meant actual glove boxes, but it reminded me the corners of our glove box holders fucking hurt to bump your head into and I should move them someday.

That very much sounds like a moment for self-reflection.

Pour it in a proper waste container with a label and hand it over to EHS if in a lab. If not, do what another commenter said and let small amounts evaporate in a well-ventilated place.
Large volumes are something you should contact local waste disposal about. This usually isn’t free, but sometimes they have certain times of year they’ll take them for free. Large volumes are ~ >1L.
- Comment on Acetone: A Thread 3 weeks ago:
Our hoods have a solvent trap at the front in case of large spills, it’s a stainless steel grate covering a large, high surface area secondary steel trap below. Ngl, I pour smaller amounts of pure volatiles in there to evaporate. Usually < 10 mL. Small volumes with dissolved solids get dumped in the glass waste container in the hood to evaporate before disposal too.
Not the best practice, but the pragmatic approach.
Larger volumes go to proper waste containers. Local EHS mostly just dilutes things before pouring it down the drain. Not much we can do about that, so I opt for greener solvents from the beginning wherever possible.
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 2 months ago:
I agree, but also approach much of what is published with skepticism because there are many factors that can lead to results not being reproducible.
Not that there aren’t issues with this idea, but I would like to see peer review change to include another independent lab having to reproduce your experiments as a means to verify the results. The methods you hand over to that lab are the ones that will be published, so if they can’t reproduce your results, it stays in review.

TBF, fuck calculus. Only nerds like calculus.
- Comment on AHHHHHHHHHHH 2 months ago:
My experiences have led me to believe the type of math someone is good at depends on their field (or what math they use regularly).
Some biologists are excellent statisticians, far better than me. I’ve also learned to never trust those same biologists with unit conversions that a chemist would consider incredibly simple.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 3 months ago:
On one hand: work long hours with little to no recognition, put up with the bullshit politics of academia, constantly worrying about job security due to grant-based funding, and all while struggling to make ends meet.
On the other hand: don’t struggle to make ends meet, deal with a lot less bullshit, job security.
I’d ask you how you don’t understand, but you thought someone else bringing up capitalism was unrelated, so it’s obviously a sad waste of my expensive fucks-to-give to try to educate you. Misplaced priorities? Sounds more like you have no clue what you are talking about.

Hop in their lap, look up expectantly in a cute way, and take very good care of your hair so you are soft to pet. Once they start begging for your attention, act aloof and uninterested.
The bar cats did this to me recently and it worked. It was clear they were the masters of the bar.

I’m loving all the orca lore! The more fish memes posted, the deeper this rabbit hole gets and the more likely that I wind up doing some weird shit with fish that I’ll never be able to adequately explain to outsiders.

Just like our high school campuses. The national parks will be catching up with the rest of the country. It’s about time we bring them into the glorious future!

You need to treat them nicely and maybe show a bit of romance. Poems, flowers, even a printed picture of flowers, something nice that will last is all it takes and your instruments will work perfectly for you. Each person may need to contribute individually to the shrine.
I swear, some damned tech came in on a PM and removed my poem from my favorite HPLC and now it’s been acting up for me nonstop.

Yeah, some companies seem to be allergic to standards, hence the need for the final disclaimer.
- Comment on Temporary Carbon Storage :) 5 months ago:
Oh, this shit is funny!
Offset is a platform that aims to generate high integrity, premium carbon credits from industrial sabotage and direct actions. At the heart of our work is an innovative new methodology for quantifying the climate benefits of political actions that publically disrupt carbon flows.
…
Our Approach
Carbon offsets apply the logic of capitalism to atmospheric interactions. This logic assumes that all activities on earth can be quantified and abstracted, and therefore exchanged. Offsets produce the capacity to outsource the effects of one’s consumption—at the scale of the individual, the corporation, or even the nation state—to someone, somewhere else, even to the generations of the future. In short, many existing carbon offset markets act to maintain a status quo rather than address root causes of the climate catastrophe.
In contrast, the Offset platform includes a registry of alternative offsets that focus on social exchanges and political actions in order to contribute to a program of highly financialized radical change.
…
Institutional Support
Offset (version 0.1) was commissioned by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, for Data Relations.

The professor hides white text on a white background to catch potential cheaters. The actual assignment is written in black text. If the student has followed the instructions that are written in white, this is a good indication that they may have cheated, because human eyes won’t see the white text against a white background, while a computer program writing a paper for the student will see the white text and follow the additional instructions.
