Inspired by mavi, I figured I'd do this year retrospective in selfies!
...
Unfortunately, I'm not much of one for selfies. I cannot find any selfies from the first half of the year, and I really only have four I can find for the year total. So, You'll have to settle for the past 5 months.

July, August, October (31st!), November

(cw selfies, eye contact)

tfw someone complains about there not being a viable synthesis for methylphenidate (for black market stuff, not as a pharma company), so you search the literature and end up sending them two papers on dexmethylphenidate synthesis that are both are described as "easy" but are actually horribly complex. (Yes methylphenidate and dex- are different, but the state of the art is similar)

@DarkWitchClaire Someone has, but there's good reason we don't talk about it. It's quite possibly the most horrifying thing I've ever seen.

@cdmnky Picard also broke his hand from the look of it

I saw something earlier asking if those of us in the US wanted to switch to metric when the boomers were gone. Honestly, yes, but why wait?! Let's just do it! Start using metric and act oblivious as to what imperial units are (except where absolutely required such as when dealing with your medical professionals)! They'll either catch on eventually or die off. Either way, we'll finally be in agreeance with literally *almost every country in the world*
