2019-05-09 10:40:33 good morning 2019-05-09 10:42:17 pipe burst in my apartment building last night https://www.whec.com/news/rfd-water-main-bursts-in-east-avenue-apartment-building/5346260/?cat=12713 2019-05-09 10:42:33 luckily I was home and got all the important shit off the floor in time 2019-05-09 10:42:39 carpets are still drying :\ 2019-05-09 10:42:47 :| that's no fun 2019-05-09 10:44:38 Yikes 2019-05-09 10:46:08 I didn't get the worst of it -- down the hall I saw them squeegeeing a whole layer of water off the floor in one apartment 2019-05-09 10:46:53 Did they give you one of those blower things to help dry the carpets more quickly? 2019-05-09 10:47:36 Also, if you can, you may want to go rent a carpet cleaner. It'll suck up a lot of water and help the carpets dry. 2019-05-09 10:47:55 no, I have my own fans though. And my place is mostly fake hardwood, there's just two IKEA rugs that got soaked 2019-05-09 10:56:20 Oh a happier note: at my last performance review (which wasn't really much of a review because I just joined the company late last year) one of the goals I gave my manager was that I want to learn more about the biology/bioinformatics side of the company 2019-05-09 10:56:48 Every time I'm in town I end up learning a bunch when I sit down with one of the compbio folks, but since I'm remove I don't get to do it all that often 2019-05-09 10:57:13 But then I realized I live 20m from my old university, which has a bioinformatics undergrad program, and lets you register for individual classes 2019-05-09 10:57:37 So I asked my managers if I could expense an introductory compbio class, and they said yes 2019-05-09 10:57:48 sjl_: damn, that endoplasmic reticulum can be rough, tho 2019-05-09 10:57:58 I don't know why I didn't think of doing this sooner. 2019-05-09 10:58:48 sjl_: do you know a decent chunk now tho 2019-05-09 10:59:15 I've been learning a lot, but biology is a huge field 2019-05-09 10:59:26 tRNA is not the same as TnA 2019-05-09 10:59:31 indeed 2019-05-09 10:59:33 free lesson for the day 2019-05-09 11:00:19 thanks emilyst 2019-05-09 11:01:01 <@ieure> Ya blew it. You should have charged for the free lesson and made his company expense it. 2019-05-09 11:01:13 lmao 2019-05-09 11:01:34 sjl_: That's awesome. 2019-05-09 11:10:32 [urlgrab] loading https://www.whec.com/news/rfd-water-main-bursts-in-east-avenue-apartment-building/5346260/?cat=12713 locally 2019-05-09 11:12:24 lmao I just watched the video in the link and at 0:37 is a shot of me looking out my window 2019-05-09 11:12:36 apparently I'm newsworthy 2019-05-09 11:16:40 ever go to CBDepot tho 2019-05-09 11:18:00 sjl_: if you wanna pay me to go over ribosomes, i'm down 2019-05-09 11:19:22 I've been going through Khan Academy videos one or two each day to try to relearn all the stuff I forgot from high school. It's been working okay so far. But bioinformatics is such a new field, I feel like taking a meatspace class with actual professors is the way to go there. 2019-05-09 11:20:49 just mind your ps and qs 2019-05-09 11:21:01 this is a chromosome joke 2019-05-09 11:23:53 that's two jokes so far, just one more and you'll have three prime jokes 2019-05-09 11:24:46 <@ieure> https://i.imgur.com/DRpe6BM.png 2019-05-09 11:25:02 [urlgrab] loading https://i.imgur.com/DRpe6BM.png locally 2019-05-09 11:25:11 incredible 2019-05-09 11:25:23 damn that white balance tho 2019-05-09 11:26:05 <@ieure> Blame WHEC. 2019-05-09 11:26:12 <@ieure> I ain't correcting their white balance 2019-05-09 11:26:12 <@ieure> shit 2019-05-09 11:26:14 me, an imbecile: huh there's three different color temps here, I guess I'll white balance to the inside to get the skin tones right 2019-05-09 11:26:30 cameraman, a genius: fuck it, I'm not white balancing to any one of them 2019-05-09 11:26:40 <@ieure> The eerie green glow behind you works, actually. 2019-05-09 11:34:53 where did you get a creepy photo of sjl_ 2019-05-09 11:35:22 lmao I just watched the video in the link and at 0:37 is a shot of me looking out my window 2019-05-09 11:37:00 i think i missed something
