looking into it, seems like you’re actually right. looks like it runs best with a solid GPU. there may be other distributed computing projects better suited for abundant RAM.

Fold At Home!
You can essentially donate your processing power to various science projects that need it to compute protein folding simulations. I used to run it whenever I wasn’t actively using my PC. This does cost electricity and increase rate of wear and tear on the device, as with any sustained high computational load. But it’s cool! :]

Only 20 minutes!? You’re a great internet detective! Thanks so much! Bummer that it’s not some old obscure movie I can watch, but at least now it won’t bug me that I never found out

I have heard of this mystical engineering technique called “looking it up in a table” by which one avoids copious amounts of math

some group of nerds in the future: “ok but this is rumored to be the MATHEMATICALLY BEST POSSIBLE parametric drawer organizer. If we can break the file encryption, humanity will become so effortlessly organized that we’ll shave centuries off of becoming a space-faring species.”

I wish I could say I’m not an engineer but I become the de-facto engineer and IT technician at every place I work 🤦♀️
I’m also flattered though. :]

I thought this was going to be about how many turkeys you could cook directly using the reactor heat
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

one of my intern cohorts upon seeing a bunch of starch granules in an algal TEM: “are these cells kinda… fat?”
supervisor: basically yes
(makes sense as we cultured them under blazing 24/7 LED lights in rich growth media)

I’ve gotten 2 skin burns from chemicals with a nitrile glove breakthrough time of <1 second
underfunded undergrad lab classes without heavy duty gloves shouldn’t be allowed to use fuming nitric acid >:(

I tried scrambling an egg using the vortexer (it didn’t work)
- Comment on Mornings 5 months ago:
I rarely arrived at the lab before 10am as an undergrad intern. (And usually stayed until 7–8pm because I goofed around too much and it took forever to get all the cells taken care of 🫠)
Flexible schedules are a luxury I miss dearly
- Comment on Mornings 5 months ago:
we used Macs at my last lab
I hated them because I’m a Linux nerd but at least they were reliable
(I suppose if my research PC ran Linux I’d spend all my time configuring it instead of researching…!)

ugh everyone knows that babies don’t always contain asbestos, just a lot of geological baby deposits are adjacent to asbestos and it contaminates the mined product

the… the bottle hack is for things like popcorn kernels that you can pour…
whoever closes a bread with the bottle hack is the true evil hiding in plain sight
- Comment on Why isn't everything mouldy? 5 months ago:
In addition to other reasons listed in replies, there’s a fair bit of bacteria that excrete antifungal compounds into their environment so that they can colonize it more effectively than the mold.
There are viruses that attack fungi, too.
Any environment that hasn’t been sterilized by some means is a constant microbial warzone between bacteria, fungi, algae, archea, viruses, etc. with the current winners being determined by how favorable the conditions (moisture, pH, toxin concentration, etc.) are to each species.
