Incidentally, nature suggested $8.99 for the article, or $99/yr subscription. Which would be a pretty reasonable subscription cost if we were pre-internet.

Yeah, if those subscription costs were normal, and the internet wasn't a thing I could see a small lab subscribing to all the relevant journals.

or possible species, 3ven.

<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: maybe waterhens?
<egg|anbo|egg>
bofh: also the churchtower seems to be undergoing repairs, hence the ugly grey cuboid look

egg|anbo|egg: annoyingly, stuff open at 4AM isn't much more common here than in Paris, something something the gov't wants to keep riffraff off the streets during the night?
<bofh>
but in any case, acquired chocolate. not pyrénéens, mind you, but it's something :P
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: so you know, the voltaire, that bar famous for dadaism etc.
<egg|laptop|egg>
it closes at midnight,
<bofh>
(hoping something comes up & I get to, erm... omit having to fly back to the states anytime soon).
<bofh>
egg|laptop|egg: you mentioned that and I'm *still* having a hard time accepting that fact a few weeks later.
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh but in any case, acquired chocolate. not pyrénéens, mind you, but it's something :P << I mean pyreneens aren't eggstremely good chocolate tbh (contrast the Ducasse stuff),
<UmbralRaptop>
egg|laptop|egg: so I should look for post docs in Paris so I'll finally be somewhere that doesn't close down between 1900 and 2200?
<egg|laptop|egg>
UmbralRaptop: probably?
<UmbralRaptop>
Fairfax isn't any better than KC or Springfield. Worse in that there don't seem to be 24h groceries.

yeah zurich isn't good at staying open late, although it's getting better

egg|laptop|egg: I mean okay, but Ducasse is like, actually good, as opposed to Lindt, which is what I consider to be decent/okay.
<bofh>
also yeah I recommend looking for postdocs in EU as much as you can tbh.
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah Ducasse is eggstremely good (I recommend Hévin too btw)
<bofh>
I need to try Hévin in Sept. (remind me then again btw)
<bofh>
(like, Lindt/Carrefour Store Brand Knockoff Lindt is, like, minimal basic chocolate)
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah pretty much
<bofh>
(as opposed to Hershey, which is repulsive)
<egg|laptop|egg>
I say pyrénéens are nice in a way that the other Lindt things aren't, they're weirdly fresh
<bofh>
I agree, fwiw.

bofh: what did you try from the chocolatey things that ducasse makes
<bofh>
mostly just the standard chocolate bars (1x milk & 4x iirc 70% dark?)
<egg|laptop|egg>
ah, not the ganaches?
<bofh>
I got those previously when I was heading out the last time, this time was at Gare de Lyon like 2 afternoons before I flew out to HKG.
<egg|laptop|egg>
do you remember whether it had a country name on it?
<bofh>
I have the bag here somewhere
<bofh>
Yes, it did
<bofh>
I forget which
<egg|laptop|egg>
also which kind of ganaches was it last time :-p
<bofh>
NICARAGUA 75%
<bofh>
THAT WAS IT
<bofh>
uhh the 21pc flavoured Ganaches sampler

the ganaches gourmandes?
<egg|laptop|egg>
those are nice

yyes.

"Our Chocolates are best eaten within 3 weeks of purchase" somehow I feel like that's not an actual concern in your case
<bofh>
also I like how my brain is kind of mixed up language-wise and I just tried mix English, Ukrainian and Mandarin Chinese in a sentence and then apologized in French.
<bofh>
(admittedly, given the last month, this is kind of... understandable >_<)

yeah uh I'm not sure they'd last 3 *days*
