finally reads egg|df|egg's gist
<egg|df|egg>
NCommander: they're all academics though (Domas baroness of Ancientbird and baroness consort of Tradevale is a chemist) so I think baroness is just the local term for professor emeritus or somesuch :-p
<egg|df|egg>
it's UmbralRaptor's gist really
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, so they're the first to have an unfortunate accident when they get a bit too upty?
<egg|df|egg>
they're rather well-behaved, most of the time they study
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, no demand for slade beds?
<egg|df|egg>
nah
<UmbralRaptor>
Well, given my computer issues, I'd accept pull requests on it.
<egg|df|egg>
some demands for shields, which I sometimes fulfill
<NCommander>
how did we live pre-git?
<egg|df|egg>
right now the baroness is discussing diseases
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, also, you need a minecart book launching system so you can kill sieges with science
<egg|df|egg>
NCommander: also the baroness is my best metalworker
<egg|df|egg>
so she forges the shields she requests
<egg|df|egg>
UmbralRaptor: "Starfeed: a brief history" is unfortunately not on the formation of stars, it is on a hamlet called Starfeed
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, are there stars/other planets in DF though? I've seen engravings talking about moons, but the world as far as I can tell is flat
<egg|df|egg>
there is a sun and a moon, and there are texts about tides
<egg|df|egg>
there are books about geocentrism and books about heliocentrism (both by the same author I think?)
<NCommander>
but if you go to the edge of the world, you can't go past it
<egg|df|egg>
NCommander: more elaborate cosmology is deferred until toady implements procedural cosmology I think
<egg|df|egg>
there are definitely stars, they classify the stars by colour
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, I look forward to a world where C is determined by the RNG
<NCommander>
and is divided by FPS
<egg|df|egg>
or Λ
<egg|df|egg>
or the fine-structure constant
<egg|df|egg>
*generate universe* *no atoms form*
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, well, the flip side of the coin is it can't be standard physics. Infinite water reactors are a thing
<egg|df|egg>
the Hamiltonian isn't time-independent
<NCommander>
egg|df|egg, counter point though is where does water go if you engrave a fortification into the side of the map

so PrBaCu_3O_{7-x} is ferromagnetic instead of superconducting. except if you do it just right, in which case it superconducts at up to Tc=87K. doing it just right includes a tricky synthesis in a 99.6% Ar / 0.4% O2 atmosphere followed by the usual oxygen annealing.
<bofh>
if you do it just right you get a superconducting crystal with the expected c-axis length for {RE}BCO123. if you don't, you get something with a very sllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllightly shorter c-axis length than expected, no superconductivity, and ferromagnetism at a few tens of millikelvin.
<bofh>
(by tricky I mean Travelling-Solvent Floating Zone, which is much more involved than the usual Shake'n'Bake Slow Cool method that works on all the others in that family)
<whitequark>
that was a lot of l's

I prefer nonabelian monopoles anyway :P
<bofh>
UmbralRaptor: it's a pretty edge case, but slight crystal structure changes altering which energetic phases are preferred in a strongly correlated mess like a Cuprate SC? honestly, not that surprising.

yes, "strongly correlated mess" is the scientific term :P (I swear (:P)^2)
