Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!
So, tomorrow I'm giving a demonstration to high school students (with quite a few other undergrads). My particular demonstration is in the video at the bottom. I have no creative bone in my body, at least not when it comes to storytelling, and it would be kind of nice if I could have something to talk about while I'm doing the demonstration. We kinda aren't supposed to talk about what's going on, which I could easily do anyways. For example, we have one routine demonstration, Elephant's Toothpaste, in which the demonstrator essentially talks about needing a large volume of toothpaste, so they mix the chemicals and voila! an exothermic reaction creating shittons of "toothpaste". My demo is one that we haven't ever tried before, and I haven't done myself yet (only got the CuI on Friday, but we left at 3:30 before I could play with it for a research presentation session). It's essentially a solution that, under UV light and certain temperature...situations, it gives off different wavelengths of visible light.
Long story short, while I'm doing this demo, I need a somewhat related anecdote. I'm asking SEN so late because it honestly didn't occur to me until just now. And I was working on a matrix problem for this entire fucking weekend.
As promised (ignore the voice modulator, he's obviously a professor that kinda doesn't want to be instantly recognized):
I think you'll have a difficult time coming up with an anecdote for why you'd want something fluorescent only when it's been cooled down to liquid nitrogen temperatures.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Symmetry -- I just pasted what google ai told me to try to form a feedback loop
UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope.
