<UmbralRaptor> (because the convenience fee is an order of magnitude higher than the cost of a check)
<bofh> what the hell place are you dealing with that still *accepts* mailed cheque?!

<UmbralRaptor> bofh: utility bill. I *could* pay electronically, but the fees are notably higher than partying like it's 1918.
<UmbralRaptor> bofh: incidentally, this apt complex requires I pay rent with a check. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

<SnoopJeDi> bofh, I confess a nearly complete ignorance of topological insulators (or more truthfully all condensed matter)
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: also check your PMs :P
<SnoopJeDi> Just did! 1 like = 1 prayer
<SnoopJeDi> Just got back from a public talk by @plutokiller, actually. Quite good!
<bofh> Nice! What was the topic / is there video/a summary available?
<SnoopJeDi> No video unfortunately, but I'll see if I can ask about it for the distinguished lecture tomorrow, it was a gentle summary of what goes into "huh you know maybe there's a Planet Nine after all," starting from Bouvard/Le Verrier and Neptune and moving into "hmm, KBOs looks pretty hinky"
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, oh actually, it's basically the exact same material as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UL88XwkJqE
<kmath> YouTube - Planet Nine From Outer Space
<SnoopJeDi> Certainly the same slides!
<bofh> Nice, thanks!
<SnoopJeDi> He made at least one of the same jokes c.a. 40:45 about the Subaru camera :)
<bofh> also rofl at that title. I approve.
<SnoopJeDi> Yea, he's a fnuny guy. There's a dept BBQ dinner tomorrow with him that I got onto the list for, looking forward to maybe asking a dumb question or two
<SnoopJeDi> Might print the 2016 paper and ask him to scrawl a signature on it as a slight indulgence of my celeb-scientist fan tendency
<bofh> Nice! And been there done that, it's a fun tendency to have :D
<SnoopJeDi> I considered snagging a copy of his book "How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming" or printing https://twitter.com/plutokiller/status/689835455760609280 for the same reasons, I figure the paper is a good compromise :P
<kmath> <plutokiller> OK, OK, I am now willing to admit: I DO believe that the solar system has nine planets.

<bofh> Same.
<bofh> also wtf is this Humanity Star thing?
<bofh> If an ε-δ eraser is an eraser that erases ε's & δ's then please keep it *FAR* away from my Analysis papers.
<bofh> egg|work|egg: I have no idea, sorry
<UmbralRaptor> Humanity Star is another thing like Mayak.
APlayer has joined #kspacademia
<bofh> so I know like a zillion things named Маяк — which *particular* one do you mean?
<UmbralRaptor> Not the nuclear site.
<bofh> "As a relatively simple satellite, Mayak does not carry any telemetry equipment" fucking why :/
