haha it wouldn't be a Linux laptop if it didn't crash the moment you opened the lid

fridge pickles 

I put too much salt in this batch

I wonder what would happen if you used monosodium glutamate instead of salt in a pickle brine, would that taste great or weird

Kara wants me to figure out how to make some sort of consumable glowy thing that's not a flame and not a commercial chemical glow stick and I am at a loss

potato battery driving an LED maybe, haha

(thinking of a titration device where the reagent is delivered by electroösmotic pumping through a narrow glass tip)

Show thread

Kara trolling the Pope 

@undyne hah! glad you got the reference *giggles* I'm pretty sure the Pope didn't. erf, Kara was being really harsh that night, and speculating about the priests' psychological need to abuse children...I think that's all I need to say

@undyne oh heck I misremembered. she didn't tweet Undertale at him, she tweeted Kotomine Kirei from Fate/Stay Night

@undyne heck now I'm trying to remember the Undertale thing that Kara once tweeted at the pope's account

I think it was the pope anyway

Bill Nye antisemitism, holocaust - 

@undyne yeah. just another celebrity doofus being casually bigoted cause America

so sick of this country rn

Bill Nye antisemitism, holocaust - 

@Alyx oh, great. Wonderful. Maybe later I'll take a look to see if I can find it, if I have the spoons and remember to. Still, another point for "maybe don't treat people who have the good luck to have gotten famous as gods of knowledge and justice"

Bill Nye antisemitism, holocaust - 

@undyne I didn't find that exactly when I looked but I found enough other awful shit he said so bleh

there aren't many celebrity science people I actually like

maybe none

eh, Stephen Jay Gould seemed cool enough

Bill Nye antisemitism 

@undyne hadn't heard about that. I believe it though, what'd he do

on Twitter I hashed out what I thought was a clever way to do titrations by spiking the reagent with a marker ion or dye, and then measuring the concentration of that in lieu of measuring exact volume of the titrant solution

then Kara said "why not just track weight instead"

...

ok yeah that is simpler

brexit 

@troubleMoney is there anything about "Brexit" that isn't a complete fucking lie
