Andre the Chemist

Computer programmers have been, for a very long time, a bunch of dudes who act like they're 12 years old. It's amazing we've come as far as we have tbh.

As a chemist, I immediately knew that was a b.s. definition because, like you seem to imply, nobody knows what element 67 is.

The only reason I know this is because once, when my kids' friends started doing the 6-7 thing, I looked up what it meant (I'm pretty sure it has no real meaning).

One of the urban dictionary definitions was "a prostitute; from the 67th element holmium with the chemical symbol Ho"

But they were nazis so I don't really care.

A foot with a white Adidas ankle sock and a yellow and black Puma athletic shoe.

The Dassler bros would probably be pretty pissed about my sartorial choices today.

Being a parent is so much fun.

Mrs. the Chemist is wearing a holiday sweater with "Ho Ho Ho" on it.

So of course I asked my older child if they knew what "Ho" means.

Kids: "Uh, it's a bad word."

Me: "No, it's a chemical element, holmium. Do you know what the atomic number holmium is?"

Kid: "No."

Me: *smiles*

Got 'em.

A crack in a small floor tile that looks like someone stepped on a daddy long legs.

This cracked tile on the floor in one of the bathrooms at my work always makes me think someone stepped on a daddy long legs.

Ok then - forfeit. You dont have to play.

Remember when decorum stated that corruption should be done under the table or in shadowy back rooms?

Me, holding a linear algebra textbook: "I found this under your bed. What is this?"

Kid: "I don't kn..."

Me: "Where did you get this?!"

Kid: "My friends..."

Me: "WHERE DID YOU LEARN THIS STUFF??"

Kid: "YOU, OKAY! I learned it from watching you!!"

Kid: "I just want to go to college and focus on the technical skills that will make me a valuable and sought-after employee!"

Me: "If you want to live under my roof, you will follow in my footsteps and get a LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION! You will take classes in esoteric and arcane subjects of no use!!"

That can't be right. They said "Some".

I feel like the whole popularity of TikTok/Reels/etc video content is only really benefiting the truly worst people in society.

Yes, I'm referring to people who were theater kids in high school.

Lol.

Me, talking to the ghost of my coal miner great grandfather: "I finally understand what you went through."

I think I hear it rattling around in there.

I'm sure this is a good thing.

Welcome to the club, doctor.

I think I may have just aspirated a Nerd candy directly into my lungs.

We did it!

As someone who has watched a lot of NCIS recently and grew up in the D.C. area, the fact that they seemed to even try is a bit amazing, considering they, for example, go to Falls Church in the show and it's a rural area with large ranches and wilderness areas and not a suburban traffic nightmare.

That's actually not as much as i was imagining, but it's still a lot!

Your sock posts are delightful!

Organic Chem Lecture Notes This page is a work in progress. There are probably mistakes aplenty, but hopefully these are useful to someone! Organic Chemistry I L1: Atomic Structure L2: Representing Chemical Structures L3:...

Just in time to be useful to almost no one, I've uploaded my notes from organic chemistry I to my website.

Damn, already? This makes me feel my years (good luck soon-to-be Dr. Bartfield!)

Weirdos love to co-opt the terminology and ideas developed to support and defend the vulnerable and oppressed. They create a funhouse mirror version to argue for their own personal causes, which are often completely unhinged.

One day – just once! – I'd like to open up this app and not be greeted with a seriously deranged take. Today is not that day.

This is what popped into my mind seeing that squirrel.

All that to say that I'm sure your videos are very good! But I also understand you not wanting others to see them.
