@LordStryker @LordStryker I take a similar opinion. Quality before quantity. But unfortunately quality takes a lot of time :( I really wonder how people like @ron manage to write so many, often high quality answers in such a short amount of time (kudos for that). Must be living in another dimension where time flows differently.

@LordStryker Donkey... hehe... that made me chuckle...

@Philipp He's got a TARDIS!

But I absolutely agree, he does an amazing job.

@Omen !

@Philipp Ron is definitely a master and I am a mere level 1 apprentice.

Omen

It's @Omen

LordStryker

11:50

OH MAN ITS @OMEN!

(the one with the crazy eye)

Omen

12:06

Damn straight!

I have been posting a storm... 2 on academiia and are just finishing one on astro.SE

and I posted one on Earth Sciences a couple of hours ago

LordStryker

It can be addicting sometimes, that thirst for knowledge. :)

Omen

oh yes, these are all answers!

2 answered on academia, 1 on earth sciences and 1 on astronomy... so far

@LordStryker now I am targeting Chem

by the way, how did the exam go, did the scantron pass?

Omen

12:38

hmmm did my eye scare off @LordStryker

LordStryker

ack sorry @Omen. The average was ~70% which was exactly the avg. I was shooting for

except the answer key was messed up on one question so I'm quickly trying to fix the grades

Omen

scantron misbehaved... i KNEW it!

LordStryker

you got it!

Omen

i had a feeling that the scantron would decide to do its version of eliminating the human race

LordStryker

It's going to eliminate me if I dont get these fixed and soon

Omen

12:47

lol

LordStryker

i was in a rush to get them posted by 5pm since yesterday was the last day for withdrawing without the extra paperwork trail

buuuuut my dumbass self had to mark one of the answers on the key wrong

in my haste

Omen

ahhh dang!

Omen

13:43

hello @ManishEarth!

ManishEarth

Omen

how are you?

@ManishEarth I have been on an answering spree

ManishEarth

nice

I have been trying to simulate kuramoto systems

Omen

what is a kuramoto system?

ManishEarth

@Omen um,... a thingy?

@Omen basically a system of coupled oscillators

a specific coupling, but the way the network is can vary

Omen

13:58

aaaah nice, how;s it going?

ManishEarth

I messed up on two weeks of work :P

made an elementary mistake

Omen

that is the usual way mistakes occur

if I had a dollar for every time that has happened to me..

how long will you take to fix it?

LordStryker

psssh @ManishEarth can fix it in like 5 minutes if he just applied himself

ManishEarth

@LordStryker lol

I figured out how to fix it, just need to rewrite the code and rerun everything

@Omen but yeah, 5 minutes actually not counting the tiem to rerun everything

Omen

awesome!

@LordStryker can use his superpowers

LordStryker

14:17

This is @ManishEarth - xkcd.com/303

Omen

BAHAHAHAHAHHA

ManishEarth

@LordStryker yeah lol

Omen

so far, in the past 24 hours, I have answered 2 on Academia, 1 on Earth Sciences, 1 on Physics, 1 in Astronomy... now I am attacking Chem

LordStryker

we're under attack!!! O.o run!

the Aussies are coming!

Omen

lol... just you wait

Holy shit

LordStryker

grabs popcorn dis gun b gud

Dissenter

My TA keeps describing resonance as the phenomenon of electrons "pumping in and pumping out"

I don't even

LordStryker

bro, electrons lift

Dissenter

Sounds like electrons have sex

LordStryker

screen.yahoo.com/…

Dissenter

21:00

As you can see, theory is not emphasized

LordStryker

well pumping denotes motion, and electrons are always in motion

sex denotes pumping and pumping denotes motion and electrons are always in motion

therefore, electrons have sex

I think you're right

Dissenter

Man fuck this shit

If this is the future of chemistry education

LordStryker

maybe its a language barrier sort of deal?

Dissenter

I'm inclined to agree with the prof who said that modern chemists can't make a one molar solution of NaOH to save their ass

No this is a native English speaker

LordStryker

hmmm

I dont know bro. I've made silly analogies in the past for the sake of comedy but that doesn't sound like the case here.

Dissenter

21:09

He just doesn't have the understanding to describe it any better

LordStryker

i'm headed out though. i'll try to jump on once I'm home.

if you're still here that is

Dissenter

Alright see ya

LordStryker

next time he says that

just say "giggity"

in your best quagmire voice

Dissenter

I'll play a porno soundtrack

LordStryker

one of those tacky 90s tracks

Dissenter

21:10

Man those mutton chops were sexy

LordStryker

lol

electrons cant have sex b/c they repel each other!

O.o

poor things

Dissenter

Quote of the the year^

LordStryker

21:30

@Dissenter so tell me about this TA of yours

Omen

hello @LordStryker..

LordStryker

21:46

\o heya

Omen

how are you?

<-- just woke up

LordStryker

<--- just got home

lol

playing tanks

Omen

playing what??

LordStryker

world of tonks!

just a bit of tankey tanks in the afternoon

Omen

lmao

just changed my profile box, to have a list of key questions that I have made

Omen

23:00

@LordStryker!

LordStryker

haha was on the phone with my sister

Omen

you both were on a phone - how did you balance?

can I get your opinion - physics.stackexchange.com/questions/138075/… - any good or should I delete it?

LordStryker

very, very carefully ;)

Omen

lol

LordStryker

No I think its good. If anything I would expound on the equipment required for these types of setups. I know you linked the websites but it would be convenient to have those materials listed in your post.

but thats just icing on the cake

Omen

23:06

0 upvotes = uninteresting?

maybe not...

i should go to the gym

oh, did you solve the scantron issue??

LordStryker

0 upvotes? You only posted it 37 minutes ago. It will take some time to get people to read it ;)

Omen

@LordStryker I am still getting used to the system on SE... confidence is rising

LordStryker

I did solve the scantron issue! One student in particular is all up in arms about how unfair it was that I had to change the grades even though it was a minor change and it accurately reflects the students' responses.

Omen

but for now, I need to go to the gym and proceed to 'un-fat' my fatness

LordStryker

I can't even begin to explain the level of stupid this is.

Hey, I need to start lifting myself but... ugh

have fun at the gym!

Omen

23:11

I probably could understand actually.... it does not matter what you do in terms of fairness etc - someone will complain

LordStryker

she misunderstands 'inconvenienced' for "unfarieness"

but whatever
