A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Reminds me of the opening paragraph from ‘States of Matter’:
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.
That opening goes pretty fucking hard.
University Physics sucks but physical chemistry is all Boltzmann all the time and it's so awful
economics has a million texts by a million econ professors and a few good ones by greg mankiw
the older the meme gets the more it seems to dissipate into low res and compression artifacts. It's like a fading memory
As is the way. Soon it will be your turn to screenshot this image, print it out and take a photo you can share with others online ❤️
They Cage the Animals at Night by Jennings Burch
A Dog Called Kitty 😭 4th grade
I loved that book!
I have that book. It has an absolute ton of practice problems. They were not very helpful for my electricity & magnetism final!
Yup. Study the past papers, not the textbook.
Way to explain the joke, Roger.
Goodnight moon, not me but baby, got carried away saying bye to everything while sleepy and delusional
My baby you’ll be, or some such did me in as a parent who lost their mother. I’m not good to read that one.
The Giving Tree
I've read the giving tree recently and i must say, it kinda makes me angry, but not so much because of its sad story, but because i think that that is not a good way of life. you can't give away your life, i think, and you shouldn't look at yourself like a candle that is pre-destined to burn down through its course.
i believe that to truly live well, one must always live as if one had a very long life and must be sustainable in any action. this includes not giving away parts of your life that don't regrow. that is why the giving tree made me so angry.
I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It's the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.
This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.
Everytime
Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer.
Never cried reading a book. And I read a ton. Cry with music, TV, and movies. Never books though. Weird. Never thought about it.
Have you read University Physics by Young?
And Freedman. Feel like its appropriate to mention his name for some reason.
Well, sure, but Freedman only joined several years and editions after my copy of the book was printed so I only learned about him today and in my mind the book is still just University Physics by Young, sorry about that.
Try reading them in bed laying on your back. When you fall asleep and drop them on your face, the heavy ones will make you cry.
I cried reading Peoject Hail Mary lol
"Love you forever"
There it is. Thanks. Couldn’t remember this little heart stomper’s name.
2 kinds of people.
