One tip for the final Nod mission I would have wanted to know before playing it - the game tells you that you have time until the GDI station makes three orbits and then gives you an hour timer. I was running out of time and made a despearate push for the final objective with just seconds remaining and then… another hour timer started. You have 3 hours to beat that map, I thought it was just the one =/
It’s the finale where you have all the toys and get to play with the enemy in any way you want. Don’t make the same mistake as me and rush through it, you can take your time.
When i was six i had to sit in my own poop for an hour long sermon because nobody would let me get up to go. Course they also had to sit in it with no reaction heh
That is outright neglect. That level of strictness is just ridiculous. If they really wanted you to sit and listen, and take the sermon seriously, you certainly can’t do that while sitting on a turd, while also having the attention span and understanding of a six-year-old.
tert-butyl lithium. Ignites on contact with air. Often used in conjunction with flammable solvents, so large fires and explosions are possible when working with large enough quantities.
As far as safety SOPs go, nearly any chemical spill of a large enough quantity warrants evacuating the area in my chemical safety plans. For some institutions, this is as little as 1 liter or 500g of material. This can obviously be overkill if you spill something that is relatively inert and non-toxic such as water or NaCl.
i’m not a chemist so take my words with a grain of salt -
google says the most dangerous bases can cause skin and eye damage, and be very flammable if they were to dissolve aluminium (two different chemicals). So I guess worst case scenario you open the windows, lock the room, and come back with protective equipment to clean up your mess
you probably wouldn’t handle something, that if dropped, would be dangerous enough to need a whole building evacuated outside of a dedicated room without wearing a full hazman suit and adhering to additional 100 precautions and safety measures
unless you’re the sort of guy to use a screwdriver to play with the demon core, but that’s not a liquid chemical base and hopefully won’t happen again

You underestimate academia.
Also, going through the old chemicals of some academic labs can lead to having the bomb squad called because they didn’t dispose of an unstable reagent 30 years ago.
Edit: Turns out it reacts explosively with water (so it itself can’t form the aqueous solution necessary for the concept of pH to be applicable) and decomposes into two different strong acids (hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid). So yeah, not a candidate for our mystery base.
Yes, this is the kind of substance that would promptly react to protons, what would be a base-like behavior if it also didn’t promptly react to hydroxyl, what would be an acid-like behavior.
But given that it will consistently turn water into plasma, I guess it technically has a PH of 0.
I was curious as well and in this article the only mention of dangerous bases is tert-Butyl lithium (“t-BuLi is very pyrophoric, it readily reacts with air catching fire, that’s why it has to be handled and stored with very special care, always under a protective inert atmosphere of pure nitrogen or argon”). But in that case you couldn’t just drop it on the ground outside of a vent?
Or they dump their entire 6gb SQL database, customer info and all, into a SQL file that you have to load into a mariadb docker container when you just needed a subset that you were going to turn into csv anyway ☺️
It really depends on the machine that is running the code. Pandas will always have the entire thing loaded in memory, and while 600Mb is not a concern for our modern laptops running a single analysis at a time, it can get really messy if the person is not thinking about hardware limitations
Then I guess that the meme doesn’t apply anymore. Though I will state that (from my anedoctal experience) people that can use Panda’s most advanced features* are also comfortable with other data processing frameworks (usually more suitable to large datasets**)
*Anything beyond the standard groupby - apply can be considered advanced, from the placrs I’ve been
**I feel the urge to note that 60Mb isn’ lt a large dataset by any means, but I believe that’s beyond the point
What do you mean not optimal? This is quite literally the most popular format for any serious data handling and exchange. One byte per separator and newline is all you need. It is not compressed so allows you to stream as well. If you don’t need tree structure it is massively better than others
I think portability and easy parsing is the only advantage od CSV. It’s definitely good enough (maybe even the best) for small datasets but if you have a lot of data you need a compressed binary format, something like parquet.
But which separator is it, and which line ending? ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 or something else? What about quoting separators and line endings? Yes, there is an RFC, but a million programs were made before the RFC and won’t change their ways now.
Have you heard that there are great serialised file formats like .parquet from appache arrow, that can easily be used in typical data science packages like duckdb or polars. Perhaps it even works with pandas (although do not know it that well. I avoid pandas as much as possible as someone who comes from the R tidyverse and try to use polars more when I work in python, because it often feels more intuitive to work with for me.)
I used to export my pandas DataFrames as pickles, but decided to test parquet and it was great. It was like 10x smaller and allowed me to had the the databases on a server directory instead of having to copy everything to the local machine.
Ah I was trying to point out that CSV is the inefficient format. Reading a large amount of data from a more efficient format like parquet is more likely to cause trouble because the memory required can be more than the file size. CSV is the opposite where it will almost always use more disk space than is required to represent the data in memory.
Thanks for the link! I was trying to figure out the Lunduke complaints (I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of this guy before). This video did a solid job of catching me up.
I used to enjoy listening to him on YouTube simply because he didn’t yell in his videos like every other YouTuber. He had a bit of a Bob Ross vibe to him, but then he went off the deep end.
I’m done recommending stuff, because my use case is not necessarily your use case. I can only tell you that Brave is the sweet spot for me, at the moment.
So measuring from full fore to aft might give inconsistent results among other similar variables for the examined species, such as location, age, and weight. Going booper to pooper might give more reliable data, if the tails are often snipped at the tip by other reptiles, predators, disease, rogue mohels, swamp boat propellers, or hastily closed doors.
This is my best guess, I’m not lizardologist or a measuresmith.
I’m also not an expert, but that was my thought, too.
More than that, even if a tail is undamaged, including it is not giving useful imformation because tail size can vary out of proportion to the main body and is pretty standard for other animals as well. For example, no one is measuring a horse to include the tail length, nor a dog, cat, and generally not a bird, either.
That said, I expect an news story about alligators on the golf course or catching invasive snakes to measure the whole body for the NEWS story and let the experts worry about the booper2pooper length in their own space.
I mean, it’s not the exact same, but human fetuses can be measured similarly with a “crown to rump” length. I have to notate this in my reports (but I include other measurements too like hand/foot length and “crown to heel” length).
