Wow, this... kinda bugs me.

Remember that project I was on last year, where I literally worked myself sick to the point of needing an MRI to check for strokes to explain the blackouts, and months of endocrinological work to try and figure out what had happened?

I just got a note that they're removing the code from the project, and if I want a copy, I should go grab it.



Well *that* was a complete waste of 8 months of my life, apparently...

Edit: OTOH, I refuse to be made to feel bad about my code design by a group that uses goto. By choice. Rar.

What's acylamide?

I use it as a component to make SDS-PAGE to run proteins through so I can beat them until I am satisfied!

And thanks for the share, that is really funny XD (I like the Settlers reference too. Get your nerd on kiddies!)

Well, now I knew as much as I did before...I guess that's what I get for not being a scientist. :p

I'm sorry! I erred on the side of caution because I assumed you were a big nerd too :)

So you can separate proteins based on their size if you run them through a matrix, in my case acrylamide. After it polymerizes (assembles) it forms this gel like goo. It is also a neurotoxin, so you can bake it into cakes and kill people and shit.

Haha, nerd yes, scientist no. I have an art degree, I work in video games. :D

Yay for killing people with SCIENCE!

Isn't it more like killing people with math?
