Is it normal to be confused at seeing the author of one of your astro textbooks abbreviated as B-V?
<SnoopJeDi>
Badial-velocity?
<UmbralRaptor>
SnoopJeDi: photometric colors.
<UmbralRaptor>
ie: magnitude in a B band filter minus the magnitude in a V band filter.
<UmbralRaptor>
Really a flux ratio, but astronomy units…

"There have been so many coffee drinkers this academic year, and we have gone through not just coffee, but creamer and sweetener much faster than we ever have before!"
<SnoopJeDi>
what a time to be alive
<GalacticRaptor>
Apparently drinking lots of coffee is surprising.
<SnoopJeDi>
speaking of coffee

whitequark: so we have a bug where in Cardano, if you created a save with the stock system, we didn't detect that it was stock, and didn't apply the retrobop patch; the save contains the state of its system, so upgrading doesn't fix things; so I guess these saves are eventually apocalyptic
<SnoopJeDi>
(I've spent 2 months trying to get the red bit even half as close to the black for several turns)

GalacticRaptor: all my scholars are ~9 levels underground, 8 if they decide to go to the upper floor for drinks (there's also the more spacious lower floor of the mushrooms of riddling, with the rectangular room of starwatch of oxen being between the two)... Are they doing neutrino observation?
<GalacticRaptor>
Apparently.
<GalacticRaptor>
Or maybe they get data from elsewhere?
<GalacticRaptor>
Or are theorists?
<GalacticRaptor>
SnoopJeDi: SUSY when?
* GalacticRaptor
ducks.
<SnoopJeDi>
as soon as someone gives us lots of lots of money to build a 2500 km circumference ring in the gulf of mexico

GalacticRaptor: a performance troupe called The Emancipation of Oils is settling here

SnoopJeDi: I'll claim it's a wall.

An actual thing uttered in our lab: "these magnets cost less than a billion dollars, they're practically free!"
<SnoopJeDi>
(which, to be fair, is actually a very sensible thing to have said in context, which was comparing against FCC's so-ridiculous-nobody-is-projecting-it cost)
<GalacticRaptor>
egg|zzz|egg: With fire?
<SnoopJeDi>
IIRC the raw material for the FCC dipole magnets alone would cost more than the final cost of all the LHC dipoles
<SnoopJeDi>
so uh, kinda expensive
<GalacticRaptor>
o_O
<SnoopJeDi>
anyway, GalacticRaptor that's the science-y end of the machine
<SnoopJeDi>
we don't pay much attention to the pew-pew :P
