<UmbralRaptor> Oh no
<egg|df|egg> UmbralRaptor: Nomal's father, a speargoblin, fell asleep while going to dodging training
<egg|df|egg> (holding a book about sundials of course)
<egg|df|egg> he's a great milker apparently
<UmbralRaptor> o_O
egg|df|egg is now known as egg|zzz|egg
<egg|zzz|egg> craftsdwarfship training tomorrow, should zzz
* UmbralRaptor assumes that this means that egg|zzz|egg is becoming a craftsdwarf.
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: eggsactly!
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: well, a craftsegg
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: (it's that training for that workshop with the fancy tools at the office)
<Iskierka> are all df npcs wannabe polymaths?
<Iskierka> or just have ADHD?
<egg|zzz|egg> Iskierka: why can't we have both :-p
<Iskierka> possibly with the exception of nomal who it sounds like does nothing but research on her own in the one room. Or has she branched out?
<egg|zzz|egg> I ordered her to build mechanisms
<egg|zzz|egg> and on occasion she does go to the tavern, watches a few performances she likes, then gets into an argument
<egg|zzz|egg> Iskierka: she doesn't really research on her own, she discusses research with other scholars
<UmbralRaptor> Apparently drinking and building stabby things are the only activities that don't make her anxious?
<egg|zzz|egg> pretty much
<Iskierka> ... does df need mental health doctors?
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: also watching performances
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: I mean, she'd be fine if she just took a break from her research more often
<UmbralRaptor> Hah
<Iskierka> how often does she take a break?
<egg|zzz|egg> I should try to log that
<egg|zzz|egg> also I should zzz
<UmbralRaptor> <_<
<egg|zzz|egg> otherwise I'll stab myself with a laser tomorrow or something
<egg|zzz|egg> that's how lasers works right
<egg|zzz|egg> s/ks/k
<Qboid> egg|zzz|egg meant to say: that's how lasers work right
<Iskierka> according to star wars, yes
<UmbralRaptor> Well, laser scalpels are totally things.

<UmbralRaptor> Just to confirm, the satellite is launching on an Atlas V 401, right? https://twitter.com/whitequark/status/872666112848252929
<kmath> <whitequark> how can you not love something with a satellite launch right in the OP https://t.co/wH7wFu40FR
<UmbralRaptor> o_O
<whitequark> though that's not the one in the OP1...
* UmbralRaptor was thinking that it used a first stage with 2 nozzles, but the only rocke that launches (well, launched) from a platform like that had 4. >_>
<whitequark> it's not necessarily a real launch vehicle
* UmbralRaptor was half expecting something real since apparently there's absurd accuracy on the guns and aircraft?
<UmbralRaptor> Hm. Zenit maybe.
<whitequark> jormungand isn't as heavy on that as some of the other works
<whitequark> it doesn't look like anyone identified this LV yet
<whitequark> you could probably hunt it down in the manga if you really wanted!
<UmbralRaptor> Hah.

<SnoopJeDi> My labmate has been doing superconductor theory review for his prelim proposal, and had our Uzbek researcher help him read some historical documents given in Russian...they found the order for immediate execution of one of the notable researches in that field (and later reference to his "rehabilitation" some 20 years later)
<SnoopJeDi> "Didn't we execute that guy?" "He got *better*"
<UmbralRaptor> o_O

<SnoopJeDi> I also discovered that the immediate predecessor to the integrator I'm currently using was written in 1963!
<SnoopJeDi> Unfortunately, CERN does not have a digitized copy, and I don't have the permission (or the desire, really) to ask someone to go yank it off the shelf and scan it.
<kmath> <DrLucyJones> Having done both, I'd say Ph.D. exam is worse than Congressional testimony - thesis committee has more control over… https://t.co/tvHXE7UOEH
<UmbralRaptor> egg|zzz|egg: Perturbing objects to FTL speeds using coorbiting wormholes,
<SnoopJeDi> I read that as "contributing wormholes" at first and thought it'd make a nice acknowledgement section for an astro paper
<SnoopJeDi> I.e. "The authors would like to thank [celestial body] for [doing the thing]"

<UmbralRaptor> Good luck with the optics.
<Iskierka> I think you need a cat to 3D print a cat
<Iskierka> and they only do batches
<soundnfury> is it an asymmetric post-order traversal? (or an in-order asterism?)
