The obvious one is buying drugs. I don’t feel like arguing the morality of doing that but anonymous money is definitely useful for that.

This is amusing to me because we have the “20ct guy” in my city who always claims he only needs 20ct and as soon as he sees any more money he’ll steal it from you.

Isn’t “I” considered poor form? I was taught to always write in passive but “we” is kind of the accepted exception.

The 2nd referee will nonetheless tell you to get rid of all of them

Iirc, yed

I still remember trying to find the space group for Copper Telluride. No amount of technical terms could help me there.

I can’t speak for everyone but I used to say “I can’t drop windows because I need XYZ programs all the time”.

Well turns out I don’t, and turns out it’s surprisingly easy to tell my employer (well my professor really, I am a PhD student) “Sorry I can’t run that program, I don’t have windows”. If they don’t accept it, they can supply me with a windows PC.

Well, looks like it flew right over my head

Maybe you can’t but I definitely can, flawlessly. Only thing is once I close a game I have to restart the scream.

Looks like Brendan Eichmann is a wrestling coach from Minnesota

Sorry for awkward sentences

Don’t be sorry, you’re communicating quite clearly.

And, just for the record, I do agree that the term “organic” is daft when referring to food. The term is entirely arbitrary and I wish we had a food certificate that was actually based on scientific factors (like impact on environment etc.)…

They need to have orbital hybridization

This one is often cited as a factor (because it excludes carbides like e.g. WC, TiC, TaC) but afaik it’s not true. Carbon in graphite is sp2 hybridised, in diamond it’s sp3 hybridised, both are explicitly excluded from the definition of organic.

Side note: I am unsure whether graphene falls under the definition of organic. Depending on how you look at it, it’s just a huge aromatic molecule. Don’t get me started on nanoribbons which are synthesized from organic precursors…
But I know people doing research on graphene, and I don’t think they would care about that definition. It simply doesn’t matter.

Side note^2: While CO_2 is also explicitly excluded from being organic, it can be used as an educt in organic reactions (e.g. Preparing Phenylacetic Acid from Benzyl chloride and CO_2)

MSc in chemistry here

Just because chemistry utilizes words and defines them with specific criteria it doesn’t mean these words can not be used in other contexts with different meanings (e.g. vinyl)

Oh and you probably know, but diamond, graphite, CO₂ and all sorts of carbonates are excluded from being organic.

I don’t intend on turning this into some sort of fight but to me your comment has big

“I don’t see the problem why can’t other people just have enough money”

vibes (Also I checked and an adapter costs me 12$ on Amazon). I don’t think you intended it this way, so I’ll shut up now.

As to my actual answer:

• Leaving it on headphones is not an option to me (I explained it above)
• Buying one for every jacket might work, but what do I do in summer?
• Please correct me on this but afaik it’s not standardized
  • USB output is usually digital, while headphone obviously require an analog signal. I assume the vendors just use certain pins in the USB jack for transmitting the analog signal while keeping the rest grounded.
  • I know for certain that Samsung adapters don’t work on OnePlus phones for example.

I could go on, but there’s honestly no point. We’re different people with different uses for our phones/headphones. I won’t buy a phone without a headphone jack as long as I still have wired headphones.

I have 2 main problems with that:

• My headphone cable is long and sometimes it gets tangled in all sorts of places. The adapters are small and flimsy, if I leave them on the cable I assume they’ll break soon. I have no problems with a broken headphone cable as it is an easy and cheap fix. I don’t think the adapters are seriously fixable tho.
• Everything else uses a headphone jack everywhere. I have yet to see a use for USB-C to audio jack anywhere else. Which makes sense as USB is digital and audio is analog. I assume many people have no use for headphones outside of their phones, I am not one of those people.

Honestly I’d probably buy a phone without a camera before I’d buy a phone without a headphone jack.

I was sold on the idea of a fairphone but that’s a dealbreaker to me. I very briefly owned a phone without a headphone jack (borrowed from a friend while my current one was in repair), having to think of that stupid adapter all the time was hell.

Funny, I would have said the same about voidlinux.

I think a common misconception about voidlinux is that it’s a distro solely used by people who have made it their lifegoal to tell people about how bad systemd is. I use void because it’s fast, and frankly because I like the way void does stuff. I feel like many people in the community are much more indifferent to systemd than people realize.

Haven’t we already confirmed ignition?

Not that I know of. You can obviously just neglect most energy costs when considering “ignition” and the proclaim you’ve achieved ignition. These may legitimately be significant advances but it doesn’t mean we’re ready to start thinking about actually sustaining fusion energy at scale.

Archaeology -> people, Paleontology -> non people

Both are about digging old stuff out of the ground (sometimes)

Source: not an archaeologist, but I was told so by other people who are also not archaeologists

I’ve definitely had to handle 30gb plain text files before so I am inclined to believe twice as much should be just as possible

I assume different people have different needs, but I feel so much more content with life when I get up early and drive my bike to work/Uni. Having some structure forced onto me is just way easier than living from day to day. But I have also struggled with depression in the past, I may require it more than others do.
