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

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".

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
@LogicalDash@cybre.space we really put all our eggs in the http basket? damn
so, serious question
(so I'm not expecting answers haha)
what others protocols are out there, that people are using to distribute structured information
like, there's gopher
but there must be other things too, huh?
it can't ALL be The Web[tm]

@Alyx
Yeah, lots of us are healthier and happier as systems!
Honestly, if I were to integrate, the personality I'd want to be the main one everyone integrates into is Undyne, and... I don't think, somehow, that that would satisfy this person, or help me in "normal" society at all.
almost like being a system has distinct fucking benefits for some people, wow.
whew, well, that got a bit of adrenaline going I suppose

ugh this dude I'm friends with went on a posting spree on tumblr about how systems who aren't working towards integration have been duped by """anti-recovery"""" tumblr and are refusing to become healthy and.
fuck that I like being a system. I like my alters and I don't owe you a "recovery" especially when I'm not being hurt. neuroDIVERSITY means accepting people who aren't and don't want to be neuronormative
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
switched to Zi-O
*grumbles, lays idle on couch with mlp rolling*
so, it's another day apparently
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)
