<rqou> Ellied: random question: you aren't a grad student?
Technicalfool has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds]
<Ellied> rqou: lol nope not yet
<Ellied> but I get that a lot
<Ellied> I do a lot of TAing and research, so people usually mistake me for a grad student, and sometimes don't entirely believe me when I tell them I'm not
<SnoopJeDi> you're a shoe-in (my condolences?)
<Ellied> yeah, while hopefully not sounding too conceited, depaul might be foolish to let go of me
<Ellied> I kinda feel like I have unfinished business here. more physics to learn, more electronics courses to adjust, more things to do on my existing research projects
<SnoopJeDi> s/might/would/
<Qboid> SnoopJeDi meant to say: you would also want to look for their paper on potassium vapor for a much simpler verification material
<SnoopJeDi> okay yes that's true too but not what I meant Qboid AND YOU KNOW IT
<SnoopJeDi> seriously tho don't sell yourself short Ellied -4/10 do not recommend the drastic health consequences of doing this for years
<bofh> ^
<Ellied> well, I'm still young, and I already have a tendency to get super absorbed into a project and spend incredibly long hours on it just for *fun* so I figure grad school can't be *that* much worse than what I'd already be doing with my time
<SnoopJeDi> uhhh I recuse myself
<SnoopJeDi> it's a mixed bag, but I think you're on the right side of it anyway
<Ellied> I hope so

<NomalRaptor> Here's a bunch of stuff about the magnetic vector potential. All of your problems include finding it via the magnetic scalar potential that is glossed over, but in practice far more useful.
<SnoopJeDi> you'd do well in my lab NomalRaptor
<SnoopJeDi> my advisor adores "lines of force" plots with contours for the scalar potential
<SnoopJeDi> and it infuriates pretty much everyone except him

<bofh> SnoopJeDi: christ that is one noisy as fuck plot
<SnoopJeDi> it's actually pretty smooth but we're showing 3 μs which is *forever* in accelerator time
<bofh> egg: yes, that is extremely meteorology by kspacademia :P
<SnoopJeDi> unless you just mean plotting multiple things on one figure is stupid, in which case I agree :(
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: yeah, I meant that many multiple things on the same plot.
<SnoopJeDi> βx/βy is pretty canonical, and showing Dx on the same plot isn't *terrible*
<SnoopJeDi> but you also usually look at these things one cell at a time
