<SnoopJ> okay, weird
<SnoopJ> at least the superconductors that actually work are in there now though
<SnoopJ> (YBCO probationary, BSCCO excluded re: this remark)
<raptop> Mercury has been in there for ages, though!
* raptop wants to say that's the first substance where superconductivity was observed
<SnoopJ> I should have probably been more specific than "works" since my bias is always magnets
<SnoopJ> YBCO """works""" if you take HTS tape seriously
<SnoopJ> (you uh should not do that)
<SnoopJ> not for electromagnets that are supposed to have any appreciable lifespan anyway
<SnoopJ> raptop, that sounds right but I don't know the history
* raptop doesn't know anything about which ones are used in MRI machines, though
<SnoopJ> MgB₂ is relatively common AIUI if you don't need really high field
<SnoopJ> as far as superconductors go, it's a dream to work with
<SnoopJ> uh or maybe NbTi? I dunno, really.
<SnoopJ> "Modular pancakes with ReBCO" ha

<SnoopJ> dish washing is very serious
<SnoopJ> (yes, I'm fairly sure they are taking the piss about the nature of the brain and computation)
<raptop> Okay, because people get some *weird* ideas about kitchen activities
