that's gotta be a great way to put a lot of static charge on a catmissile
<Greys>
maybe it's a self excited coilgun
<APlayer>
There is a negatively charged electrode at the bottom, and as the cat charges up from the carpet, the chain reaction begins... Until it launches to orbit. :P

has questions about egg's stalk words.
egg is now known as egg|nomz|egg

ignores that his have included "ringularity, Yog-Sothoth, stabbity, and kill all"

I realized today that I can use my script's `__doc__` as the usage string for commandline calls, and I feel good about it as a "trick"

<jasonrdavis> Lauretta shows spectral chart of what was detected by OVIRS during flyby. “We discovered water on Earth. That’s really exciting."
<UmbralRaptor>
egg: I have questions about that rule.

TIL I can get free access to all the scientific journal articles through the university library
<FluffyFoxeh>
the most surprising thing about this is that I wasn't aware or didn't assume this was the case
<UmbralRaptor>
It's hit or miss.
<UmbralRaptor>
But there are still Arχiv and sci-hub when not on a university computer.
<FluffyFoxeh>
I think there's a way to log in and get access from outside
<SnoopJeDi>
most places have an auth system like that, yea
<SnoopJeDi>
it's a "solution" inasmuch as the person doesn't have to pay directly, but you still get the shaft in the form of infra cost at the institution level
<SnoopJeDi>
(+ the guaranteed grift tax from your local shitforbrains admin)
<SnoopJeDi>
if anything, centralizing the access that way might be *worse* for the state of the academic publishing ecosystem :(
<soundnfury>
... maybe it's time to reconsider my policy of only getting around to updating packages every couple of years :(
<soundnfury>
SnoopJeDi: the academic publishing ecosystem embodies the Platonic ideal of brokenness
<soundnfury>
does _anyone_ in that system have well-aligned incentives?
* SnoopJeDi
gives soundnfury an ad hoc a priori disaster
<soundnfury>
is it ex ante or ex post?
<soundnfury>
also, de jure or de facto?
<SnoopJeDi>
ex ante, other one depends on who you ask I guess
<soundnfury>
also, per ardua or ad astra? #runningoutoflatin
