Jokes on you, it's only going to hurt 401ks and the remaining pension funds. Investment firms may get discounted real estate, but you and I are going to remain at the bottom of that barrel (or more appropriately, at the end of their barrels).

Look into any programs you can afford and maybe go in on a multifamily place with some other people if you can. That price dip we've been waiting for to get reasonably-priced housing is not coming in the US.

The real world is wild enough without fantasy.

What is this, academia?

For real, it doesn't take much reading to dispell many of the myths and I frankly think most people wouldn't be content to stop there. Once you begin reading, you hunger for more.

Alan MacLeod popped off a bunch more about this on X on Oct 16th too. Sorry, but I don't remember if it was anything not included in the article.

Mine auto-tweets which number and the health profile of what I did and even switches between accounts based upon who is using it. Biometric scanning and mass data collection is used to match you with the correct account. If you don't have one, it registers new users without an account. Obviously filters out those under 13 as they don't meet the terms of service.

When you flush it also plays a recording of a random tweet from our Lord and Savior Elon's account in his voice.

Edit: Can't wait for my Cyber Truck to arrive so I can connect it and activate the feature where it honks my truck's horn every time I flush.

True communism is drinking Diet Coke instead of regular Coke.

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.

Yeeessss. It's always, "they only use them for smoke cover."

Well use something else or don't use smoke cover. Idgaf if you feel you need it, the vast majority of it is used by occupying forces or for police oppression.

Every time I see someone say it's only for smoke cover, reports of it being used in artillery shells or the like shortly follow.

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.
