Cat!

And also, remember, IQ isn't actually *THAT* important. It's actually a really *shit* measure of intelligence. (But it's still fun to call people on their BS, on the occasion that they're claiming that shit off an online test.)

I would like to redact my last toot upon further research. It turns out the difference between IQ scales isn't as much as I had thought. Still call people on claiming high IQs. Ask them the scale, ask them where they were tested, etc. But the information I gave was not exactly correct. I apologize for any inconvenience that error may have caused.

So, earlier, I had the idea to try putting mouthwash in an Rx bottle. Lo and behold, it was brilliant. Then, I thought it might be a good idea to put that in a bigger bottle, to prevent spills. Unfortunately, the bigger bottle was just a bit too small. I forced it, and now it's stuck.

Folx, I have an IQ of 135 (WISC-IV), high enough to almost be classed "genius". Don't ever let anyone convince you IQ is a meaningful measure of intellect. It's not.

(Honestly, I feel like more telling about my year is the fact that I couldn't pull those last two off my phone directly because I still haven't figured out how to mount removable devices on FreeBSD. But, that's just me.)

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)
