<Ellied> can we just, like, savescum 2017 and try again?
<Ellied> better yet, go back to the Jan 2016 savepoint
<bofh> like 2017 really was quite the decade :/
<Ellied> maybe keep 2016, I think the trump presidency might be workable enough since it's getting more people to actually pay attention to racism, but we definitely need to move faster on the whole "don't let him do jack shit" thing
<NomalRaptor> ;8ball did I pass the final?
<kmath> NomalRaptor: You may rely on it
NomalRaptor is now known as UmbralRaptor
<kmath> <lindsaywise> He also worked on Capitol Hill for @govsambrownback. Was a chief counsel for him from Feb. 2005-June 2007. https://t.co/AXNIqUrMXo
<UmbralRaptor> Brownback, Kobach, Pai, arguably Pompeo also.

<Ellied> I had an argument with the department chair about muon detectors today
<UmbralRaptor> Instrumentation for exotic fusion reactors?
<Ellied> he's convinced our detectors will draw too much power to be run by a balloon-load of batteries, but I don't think he actually knows what he's talking about, in no small part because he responded to my suggestion of doing low-duty-cycle operation as a last resort by insisting that operating the detector less often would not affect the average power
<soundnfury> could be instrumentation for a gravitationally-confined fusion reactor...
<Ellied> Honestly I think he has plenty of background to understand it but hasn't actually thought about current/voltage/power in a good few years
<Ellied> he's a theorist who mostly does astro stuff so it's not out of the question
<Ellied> in this case, it's mainly instrumentation for a naturally-occurring high-energy particle collider
<Ellied> it's really hard to reach the beam paths, though - the ladders can hardly support any weight - so we want to build a special machine that weighs less than the ladders and can climb up there and take a look
<SnoopJeDi> cosmic-ray lepton showers?
<SnoopJeDi> at any rate, that kind of frustration is a really powerful thing to recognize Ellied, because it means you're cognizant of his biases *and* your own ("he's a theorist" etc.)
<SnoopJeDi> and with those things in hand, you can move on to asking very clear questions of "okay, what does this mean? can we do some estimates or a POC or whatever to determine the answer to this debate?"

<bofh> UmbralRaptor: good choice.
<UmbralRaptor> Also Greiner is recommended.
* UmbralRaptor wonders if the fact that 3rd edition is listed when his PDF is 2nd will be an issue.
<bofh> ALSO a good choice. Highly recommend Greiner's texts personally.
