I mixed a harmless salt in water (called a tracer, because it’s easy to detect), and injected it into the ground. Then i used a huge pneumatic drill with a special geophysics tool (measuring resistivity) to chase down where the salt was moving before it diluted too much to find. Its called a Tracer Test, and it’s pretty common for characterizing aquifers. What made my test unique was proving the usefulness of a geophysics tool to chase down the changes in geochemistry.

Faster, more responsive than installing a network of monitoring wells ahead of time.

I’ve now told you enough that i may have absolutely given my identity away. Grad level science is a much smaller world than you might think.

Oh, please give me the opportunity. I love boring the shit out of people.

Did Charlie Kelly write this?

(“So, doooo…”)

Doesn’t matter, had sh*ts.

Oh, I have a small collection of figures like this that actually got published in geology papers. It’s a kind of fun game to get them past the reviewers, I guess.

Fair point

To clarify: Feynman could explain it, but can’t dumb it down enough for us mortals.

Came here to say almost exactly this :)

Nein, es ist meine Schuld. I should click the pic and read first, but the one in Yinzertown just sprung to mind from the headline.

Ooh, ooh! I know this one! It’s in Pittsburgh!

Edit: okay, wrong one. But there is a similar disenfranchised BK in Pittsburgh.

Thank you for some good (ish) news.

Tell me you don’t want my business without telling me to fuck off.

I’m sorry, but I do not want to partake of the “anxiety gas”

I sense a new comic book in the making

Correction:
Phoenix has a Hero.

Ok, that’s fair. I can see that.

Who the fuck are the 9% who hate Halloween?!?! What is wrong with these “people?”

Malicious compliance.

cringes in Pittsburgh

Always felt to me like I have one foot in this world, and the rest of my whole being in the liminal space. Or like I’m watching the real world through a partially open door, but I’m quite a distance away from that door (down the hall).
