  • “whatever you do don’t forget to check the big tab is on the left and the little tab is on the right, even if you get it backwards it won’t close as a safety precaution.”

    Gets call of machine not working in another country, sends out consultant.

    Big tab is on the right, little tab is on the left and the entire tray has been forced into position because “it wasn’t closing properly so we had to apply a lot of force”

    Professionals with confidence are the absolute worst, I tell ever consultant or technician that comes into my lab “I’ll be in the corner if you need me to grab you any supplies or coffee, do you mind if I ask questions as you go so I can have a better understanding of what’s going on with this magical box”. I like to think they appreciate me.










  • As a biologist,

    We can’t even get the actions of water bears down.

    We have the entire genetic code and brain mapping of a fruit fly, and can get, very slow, good guesses about how they respond to very basic stimulus.

    Let’s not even get into epigenetics.

    I would never downplay the importance or difficulty of psychology.

    But I get nothing but kicks on this house of “science” memes.


  • GeForce now. As long as you have streaming speed Internet you can play so many games, at such high quality.

    Microsoft game pass, I haven’t tried it with the above because I don’t have great Internet (I’ve got grandfathered into the intro price of GeForce now, I’m not canceling it, I’ll have better Internet some day), but it’s better than browsing games at my blockbuster/warehouse/Hollywood video back in the day.

    YouTube premium. I’ve only listen to ads when I’ve first turned on a new phone, every time I do I count my money as well spent. Add in YouTube music (much better than Spotify imo) and I’m good for 95% of my media input.

    A hundred bucks a month on various content creators. Not listening to ads in my podcasts, not having to fast forward and rewind, and supporting the people who make my life happier, it’s a win win.

    Terrible pop science, and people who are happily ignorant as long as it’s for the lulz.

    I’ve studied enough oceanography to know that this is bullshit.

    But if you want a community that isn’t critical of bullshit, well there are plenty of religious organizations that would love you membership.

    Sorry, what?? There are no hydro thermal vents at the surface of the ocean???

    Fucking biologist needs to go back to school.

    There’s no life at hydro thermal vents at the surface of the ocean because there are much safer and more reliable ways to get energy, but there are absolutely areas of active geothermal extremes at the surface of the ocean.

    Hell there are hydro thermal vent remnants in the coastal ranges above sea level.
