I'm all about the HEAT today.

It's been like 5 million years that I last used a burner... And even back in school, it annoyed me to death that everyone, including teachers, called these Bunsen burners, despite pretty much all of them being Teclu burners. Hmph!

I was all like "Why don't we just heat it in the glovebox?" and my colleague was like "But how are you gonna get a hot plate into the glovebox??" and I was like "Uhhh through the load lock???" and he was like "But that doesn't fit????" and I was like "YES IT DOES! SEE?"

Gotta use 5 pragmatism.

*narrows eyes* Are you really a scientist though? ö.ö

That salt they disperse is very coarse, though, and this was on the roof and side of the car that faced away from the road when it was parked... Hence my confusion.

You get your coke in the mail these days?

Sadly, my colleagues forced me to do actual work, rather than commencing this important investigation.

But I did test whether it was soluble in water (it was), and thankfully, there's no paint damage. Perhaps someone just wanted to salt my car for reasons unknown to me.

Oh wow, love the vibe of this! And great style! :)

Looking again in daylight, it does seem reminiscent of someone emptying a powder extinguisher on it... Hope they didn't fuck up the paint by actively rubbing on it.

Took some samples, because you never know!

Now I just want to head straight to the car wash...

Can't post my most recent stuff until after Christmas, but found some oldies in my dA storage to share in the meantime.

2017 @stripeyyena.bsky.social graphite commission 🐾✨

I noticed white stuff on my car and thought it'd just be frost residue. But no, it's some dry, powdery substance. Is it road salt? Looks much too fine. Is it cocaine? Rat poison? That side of the car faced a grass strip and then a sidewalk, so how on earth did it get all over the roof??

Also put the Remastered UI mod on there and everything is just so CRISP and smooth... The things you can squeeze out of this 22 year old game...

Fun fact: I never actually finished it. But I still have my old savegames. I'll probably gonna have a rubberbanding-induced heart attack. xD

Always wanted to be a scientist.
Started studying physics in 2007.
Went to a research group by chance (followed two friends).
Did my Bachelor in that group.
Also my Master.
Also my PhD.
Then became a postdoc.
Now have one of those unspeakably rare permanent positions.
Boringly straightforward. :D
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

With this thing now back in operation, it's back to the Friday ritual of cramming it as full as possible with cryogenics. Compared to its 1970s predecessor, this thing can last an entire weekend without needing to be topped up with helium, while automatically ramping down the magnet if it runs low.
