sodium lamps @sodiumlamps - Tumblr Blog

so - with the tumblr crackdown happening and everyone looking for greener pastures anyway, i figure it’s about time to admit i’m not here anymore. i’ve been busy with grad school (which is going well!), and, to be honest, tumblr had started stressing me out.

my blog is backed up locally in case anything happens to it. i’m not really posting much anywhere else right now. i’ll probably start up again on a different site eventually, but right now i’m not sure which one i’ll move to. if we’re mutuals and you want to keep in contact, drop me a line and i’ll let you know where else you can find me, so i can let you know when i start back up.

it’s been a weird, fun ride, and i’m glad to have shared it with you. best wishes, and i’ll catch you on the flip side.

just realized the tumblr backup for beginners instructions are windows-only. has someone made instructions for mac or do i gotta?

enoughtohold

ok, here’s a somewhat more approachable option (h/t @bananapeppers)

enoughtohold

and here’s my simplified mac instructions for the original link, as quick as i can bc i have to go out:

Download and install Python. It’s been a long time since I did this but hopefully it’s pretty self-explanatory.

Download tumblr utils and unzip it. For simplicity’s sake we’re just gonna leave it in your downloads folder.

You’ll have a new folder called something like bbolli-tumblr-utils-3a37fe6. Rename it to just tumblr-utils.

Open the Terminal app. You can find it in Applications/Utilities or search your computer for it.

In the Terminal app, type this: python ~/Downloads/tumblr-utils/tumblr_backup.py yourtumblrurl, replacing “yourtumblrurl” with, well, your tumblr url. Press enter. Whisper “I’m in” and feel very powerful.

Wait for it to finish, and you’ll have a new folder inside the tumblr-utils folder containing all your shit!

if you have trouble, feel free to pm me although i might not be able to respond right away.

what’s solid state nmr?

You stick some stuff that is not a liquid into a big ass magnet and see what happens

smilesandvials

Yep.

Usually what happens is it doesn’t work.

today in science

#gif #should i open it #not coincidentally i can never find anything in this tech's part of the stockroom

on that note, here’s where i’ve been lately

#still not a studyblr

#lol i like this #obligatory 'but where are the units' though #chemistry #spectroscopy #nmr

adventuresinchemistry

this is one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen in a while

#this is impressively petty #academia

I've got a full day of training today about lab safety protocols for work, and I can tell you after hour 4: all these things they tell you not to do, I personally have done or seen half of them. Don't be me, kids!

#yes all this really is relevant!#and those fume hoods that beep at you when they're not working are a GOOD THING

Saw the partial eclipse (58% peak coverage) today at McGill, which was a really cool experience. Volunteers were walking around telling us about pinhole cameras, and there were telescopes set up, and the whole crowd spontaneously erupted in applause at 2:38, complete with cheers of “You GO, moon!” I’m really excited for the 2024 eclipse.

#one of the best parts: my jury-rigged phone camera setup actually worked #so many people were there!#there was a very excited businessman behind me in line for the telescope #i lent my eclipse glasses to somebody’s grandparents here visiting #parents brought their kids #it was really affirming

Science Aesthetic: a well kept lab notebook, perfect sterile technique, cross referenced stock solutions, a single, perfect freezer box, labels

Real Science™: post-it notes everywhere, a messy bench, yesterday’s bacterial cultures, fourteen pieces of scratch paper, digging in the freezer for ten minutes because you don’t know where your stocks ended up

Japanese Sumo robots

this is the funniest gif i’ve seen all week what the fuck is going on

bunjywunjy

the best part is this isn’t even HALF the relentless bullshit insanity that goes on in robot sumo wrestling, a sport where the contestants are all hyperfast robots with scoop attachments and preprogrammed moves.
