@Freylet yeah, uh, Kara's applying this remedy right now >_>
@Freylet yeah, Kara's having some pain issues keeping her awake
spectrophotometer stuff
getting my new toy is pretty exciting, though. it's just a student instrument but still, it opens some doors. trying to decide what might be some good easy stuff to try out first
might need to get some supporting equipment first, come to think of it. but I can at least try the machine out with some stuff I already have
I once did spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) as the reddish salicylate complex because salicylic acid was easy to obtain
ugh. can't sleep cos Kara's got some neuralgia thing going on
@kelerak "self-perpetuating garbage fire" kinda describes all our platforms for posting and streaming and stuff, bleh

whaling, Japan... GACK!
From @Alyx found out about the "resumption of whaling" by Japan...
They hope to renew, "sustainable whaling"...
Um... The current "harvest" rate is not sustainable, and officially it's basically zero. Anyway... It's not showing up (as of last look) on this instance. Probably, "how federation works".
@JigmeDatse damn, publiclab.org is a thing I am glad to know about!

slightly hilarious Discord dustup
@JigmeDatse fair... in the long run, getting booted by one panicky person doesn't matter so much, but bleh
I hate to think of how many places there are that aren't communities so much as self-selected support groups, if you know what I'm saying
@JigmeDatse ohhhh yeah! I have heard of such low tech approaches. limited, of course, but still of value
I am interested :=3
@kel@plush.city I mean, we _can_, now! *grins* we need to get some basic equipment together, though. probably need to order some stuff
bleh, and there's no working basement sink until we get plumbers back in
@USBloveDog ebay store :=D some fly-by-night vendor, probably
but the instrument looks legit enough, and the manual is actually good
I have a number of plans for this, heh. but it's a good general device for quantitative chemical analysis, using simple color reactions
so, I got a new toy in the mail! a visible light spectrometer
el cheapo instrument. single beam, takes those square cuvettes. I ought to order up a box of the cheap plastic ones. it did come with some glass ones
slightly hilarious Discord dustup
phew, maybe you shouldn't pretend like you can administer a community if you can't even explain decisions properly. that was almost comical
oh well, probably good to be freer of Discord anyway, honestly. there's no future in Discord
politics, environmentalism, technology (boost with CW)
@radikalgrafitio I'm not complaining, you're just not talking about anything that I was actually thinking about at this point, so we've gone sailing off in different conversational directions
politics, environmentalism, technology (boost with CW)
@radikalgrafitio you're sort of...having a conversation with yourself at this point, so I'm gonna sign out
good luck with the whatever
