Iron (and glory)
  • Depends on the grade of steel. If you want stainless steel or chromoly steel, you'll need more nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Otherwise you can get a mild steel with just the iron, carbon, and trace metals in human blood.

    For bonus points, drain a few dozen more folks and use blood serum as your quenching oil to go full fucked up.

  • Is there any research on the possible market impact or fund volatility due to generational die offs?

    Put another way: What happens to the S&P 500 when the Baby Boomers see a spike in death rates and their estate liquidates their assets?

    Which movies and shows make you uncomfortable?
  • I left the theater after Joker absolutely depressed and mentally uncomfortable. It felt less like a fiction and just struck a raw nerve. Similarly, American gothic literature strikes deep and leaves me feeling depressed and hollowed out.

  • Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of April 22nd, 2024
  • RimWorld got new DLC so I've put about 20 hours in since last Tuesday. Sorry kids, daddy needs vidya time.

    I've clocked over 2,000 hours (per Stream) and only just realized I've never actually played to "win" via the vanilla victory conditions. Thanks mods!

  • Server behind CGNAT - Reverse VPN? Or how to bypass?
  • Can the ISP offer dedicated IPv4 addresses? We had a similar issue with the new rural fiber provider. I spent hours tinkering and researching only to finally call support.

    15 minutes and $2/mo later it's all taken care of. I have a direct IP and no maintenance nightmare that I have to sacrifice a goat to the printer gods and pray for mercy to make work*

  • What's your best pick up line?
  • "I'm here to apply for the position of your Next Bad Decision. My parents always said I was a mistake, so I think that makes me well qualified."

    That's literally how I got my wife.

  • Subscriptions Sorting By Letter Case

    It appears that Sync sorts by numbers > Capital Case > lower case, as noted by !RimWorldPorn being sorted above !android rather than with !rimworld in the subscriptions list as I would have expected.

    It's a small thing but just seemed odd. Is this intended?

    App version is v24.03.26-14:56 (122)

    To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?
  • Three monitors here. I'm an engineer so left monitor is usually reference material (drawings, spec sheets, formulae, etc), center is usually my primary workspace (email, python, CAD, etc) and right is music, communications, and calendar for the next goddamned meeting.

    Left and center are 24" 1080p, right is 15" laptop. I'm thinking of upgrading the next time the office gets tech money.

  • What is the most advanced chemistry you've done on your own at home or work?
  • We did some sodium salts for personal care, but the chicken fat in this instance is oleic acid, or sometimes soybean or canola oils, and the laxatives are sorbitol or PEGs. Mix and cook them and out comes a surfactant like SMO. We sent it to the midwest to help with fracking.

  • How certain are we that Discovery went to THE future rather than A future?

    Many times Star Trek has taken us to the future only to reset the status quo at the end of the story arc. Tapestry (but in reverse?), that time Voyager crashed in the ice, and all that.

    How likely is it that Discovery went to a mutable future, just one of many, especially with the Temporal Cold War, Carl, Q, Trelane, Janeway, the HMS Bounty, and any number of other temporally active agents out there in time? How locked in is the 32nd Century?
