  I read this meme as a satire on the nature of graduate school research projects, where you often spend inordinate amounts of time repeating the same type of experiment in a variety of ways. This lets you publish either on the sheer body of work or, ideally, one of the products is particularly interesting and you get a bigger paper from it alone.

  The “substrates” in this meme are odd and difficult to react, which again reflects many thesis projects. Also there are no stated goals and success is hard to measure or define.

  Despite the absurdity of the scientific work, the subject still chooses to perform it even though they are deprived of real world relationships formed at Susan’s baby shower and may also directly degrade their relationships with their Mom, brother’s girlfriend, and dog because of it while also putting their health in jeopardy via cell alkylation.

  I’ve been using bitwig on Linux for hobby production for about a year now. It works but it’s fairly buggy, with very sluggish controls and more frequent plugin crashes. I despise windows so won’t go back, but I’d also love to see continued improvement. One big step would be for more plugin developers to release CLAP versions.

  More like 16,000 x g for a normal desktop centrifuge and 80,000 x g+ for an ultracentrifuge

  Isn’t that the same as “organizing a campaign”?

  Academic publishers are parasites.

  I have been working through a textbook this week that has a copyleft statement on every page, and was written by a government scientist who did not get paid to do it. When you access it through the publisher website there is a copyright and they’re charging $200 for access.

  Replacing the human expert with a word-guessing machine is a logical progression in their unabashed rent seeking.
