Well a 38/72 beamsplitter would actually be worth way more than $100 based on the breaking of energy conservation, but you get what I’m saying.

I love a good deal but there’s no way I’m combing through dozens of pages of optics to discover that a random 17.3 mm diameter 38/72 beamsplitter is only $100 instead of $110.

Furthermore, thinking that a chatbot can teach you how to build a nuclear weapon is exactly what the AI companies want! You can’t actually “vibe build” a nuke and that should be overwhelmingly obvious based on 80 years of non-proliferation work.

Brownie actually did a heck of a job by stocking the Superdome with Aldrich packaging but nobody told the National Guard that it was supposed to be eaten.

I just assume this is how people discover that they really want to do total synthesis as a career

The bounty scandal didn’t blow back hard enough on Sean Payton and the Saints.

Mamdani straight up said “I think this guy is a fascist” in front of Trump, but still gets a positive reception because Trump does not think and instead just basis his opinions off of vibes of respect and power.

Trump is a giant adult baby who bases his decision-making around “does this person support me?” and all you have to do is pretend that you do! “Wow, good job Mr President! Nobody else could have done that, just like nobody but you could fund NYCs next beautiful proposal.”

Yeah I stopped doing it when the message changed from “this was a test, here’s some tips for the future” to “this was a test, here’s some tips and we might require additional cybersecurity training for people who repeatedly do this”

For a while, our university was sending fake phishing emails to “test” that people wouldn’t click the links. They did odd letter/number tricks like that and were always worse than the actual phishing emails, so I would intentionally click the links to see if I was right about them being a test.
