Dr. Kuglymoogly, Ph.D.

One was a physician (allegedly [one of?] the first to bring modern EKG practices to Berkeley, CA)

The other was an electrical engineer in radio electronics (initially SIGINT surveillance equipment flown in U2 spyplanes over the Eastern USSR, later as a domestic telecom tech company founder)

My first paying job was mixing colors of gray and brown paint to match the façades of the brownstones of the Upper West Side

And the final dip for the top coat of Koke Green!

After drying, pouring the inside, and peeling the tape:

First dip of two: a foundation of Koke Black

A geometric clay vase sits on a table at Kollektiv Clay Studio surrounded by plastic ready to cover it for a slow dry.

The same geometric vase after the first firing, with blue tape placed along the vertical edges as a resist for the glaze application.

Really excited about my latest project. I almost never make vases, as my cats chomp any plants they can get at!

The form is a stretched dodecahedron, so I made a custom slab bevel cutter to help the faces cleanly meet at the edges with a 116° dihedral.

Adding Up What Urban Highways Really Cost A new report maps the economic toll that downtown freeways exact on 142 US cities — and tallies up what that land could be worth if it was developed for other uses.

“Looking at a 3-mile radius from the downtowns of 142 US cities, roughly 66,000 acres are consumed by highways — land representing an untapped development potential of more than half a trillion dollars…that fallow land equates to about $5.2 billion in foregone property tax revenue every year.”

And those who write CH3CN?

My friends brought some human seafood (red squid and glass shrimp) treats back from Niigata, and while they were too salty for routine cat consumption, I HAD to share a little with M&M:

oh, “mad” not “Mads”

A black cat named Morgana contorts herself into a pretzel of limbs, teeth, and claws as she wrestles with a ranbow-colored ribbon toy stretching out of frame

A tabby cat named Merlin lounges on the floor as he munches on the end of a rainbow-colored ribbon toy he’s captured with his paws.

Unseasonably warm February #caturday precludes the usual cuddle puddle. But lazy floor plays with the rainbow ribbon received the monch of approval from Morgana & Merlin! #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

In my educational system, this was the subject covered by a high school chemistry class for juniors/year 11s/16-17-year-olds

You probably wouldn’t get blue from iodine here, you’d more likely get yellow or brown from I2, triiodides, and polyiodides!

Even “white” substances can still have pigment compounds in it that show up due to a change in scattering or molar absorptivity

You can easily choke on things you attempt to swallow whole, and also I am not a medical doctor and this is not medical advice!

I see no reason to believe the factual content of text generated by an LLM in this (or any other) context. It will to tell you what you want to hear.

But personally, I think this would be safe (if gross) to eat but would not have anything remotely resembling the mechanical properties of latex.

Honestly, I’d try it!

Anthocyanins! The compounds that make it reddish are pH indicators

Do you have any tips for getting this to work well? I have had a hard time using this tool because it seems to just be a random number generator in my hands!

Though the solution (haha) is probably not super general — the impurities (organic and organometallic) were sufficiently soluble in PFMCH that precipitation was enough to isolate the complex.

Regioselective Carbyne Transfer to Ring-Opening Alkyne Metathesis Initiators Gives Access to Telechelic Polymers Regioselective carbyne-transfer reagents derived from (3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-yn-1-yl)benzene give access to functionalized ring-opening alkyne metathesis polymerization (ROAMP) initiators [R-C6H4C≡Mo(...

I’ve done pentane/perfluoromethylcyclohexane before! I had a greasy boy who was very reluctant (3h in this paper)

They have a low-temp miscibility gap, do if you have to cool to crystalize they’ll phase separate in your freezer if it’s too cold (mine did at -30)
