I'll trade you the communal toothbrush for this joke.

Looks to me like she's done with his shit and about to use the nerve pinch to stop him.

Idk if it's just my name and pfp, but I've had liberals assume I was Chinese because I didn't put up with their casual racism. They ended up calling me slurs based on these interactions.

It's like they have no idea what it's like interacting with anyone who isn't a white cis man and expect that racism and misogyny are acceptable if they can loosely define them as differences in political ideology. Much like the way they started talking about Russians after the SMO in Ukraine began.

They have no idea what it's like outside their bubble and then project accusations of echo chambers on everyone around them.

Orange Vanilla Coke Zero please!

I do this to my boss and I think it annoys him as well.

I share something cool I observed in the lab "So how does this relate to the project goals?" "It doesn't! I just thought it was cool and wanted to share."

Counterpoint:

The language of science is specific because it is beneficial to have standards that allow explicit specificity. Scientific linguistics evolve differently from the way colloquial linguistics evolves due to different motivations and this difference is okay.

The real problem isn't that scientific language is too strict but that we gatekeep scientific participation in every form, preventing most people from participating in such a way that scientific communication is not confusing. This is in addition to most scientific publications being unnecessarily written in inaccessible language. Specificity is helpful, but the excessive use of jargon and buzz-words to make yourself sound smarter through obtuse language is unhelpful for everyone involved. When jargon cannot be avoided, define it. If you cannot define it, reference a definition.

Clarity and accessibility in all scientific communication is the key to understanding.

When I find a solvent on pubchem that has the taste characterized by some mad lad from the 1800s, it makes me want to try it.

You say THF is spicy water? Now I'm curious. We must confirm this claim.

I hear ether smells good. We must confirm this claim.

These fancy new box cutters are safe and cannot cut your hand. We must confirm this claim.

Did you read the article or am I missing something?

They are looking to make the laws more flexible for fringe cases that are accidentally being caught up by the law, not to reduce the minimum sentence for pedophiles and abusers. I'm sure there could be some instances where this will miss the target, but it seems like a reasonable justification to modify the law.

Through the prescient powers granted by the spice melange.

Then the solution is simple: take the missing taxes out of the CEO's assets until they are left making the same as the lowest-paid worker in their company.

Two birds, one stone. Give them a reason to be better. Then nationalize the company when that doesn't work long-term.

Yeah there are robots, but they tend to be $500,000+ and many scientists in this field are tech luddites who are allergic to learning how to program a robot.

A postdoc will do the same work for (probably) less than 1/10 of the price AND do free overtime. Better yet, you can sometimes get students to do this work for free/nearly free.

That's also assuming they are able to get funding to cover any of these costs.

As for using a multipipetter, it just depends on the experiment and you can do ~10 at once.

Necessary to prevent invasions by imperialists and capitalists who feel threatened by successful socialist models or who are looking to exploit other countries.

Imagine how much more they could have accomplished if they didn't have to fear the very real threat of foreign invasion. Remember, they were invaded by foreign powers shortly after the revolution in 1918.
