The periodic table...
it's dead.
Can you guess what this is? Because I couldn't when I first saw it. Well, it's a menu. A periodic menu. They have created elements out of their asses for each ice cream flavor and made a table for it. So technically, you can have Boron as your topping! Though it would be awesome if the Boron topping would appear after we evaporate the ice cream but whatever. Regardless of how I initially found this table thing so cringe, we did get some ice cream from there. I was holding myself so hard not to laugh at how they used the same element in each of the three categories. Facepalm.
I decided to go out with a friend in order to get some vitamin D, and after a week full of migraine headaches of which neither painkillers, coffee, nor beer could help, I had an amazing time at school out of my ordinary routine.
I want to start off by showing this, beautiful, amazing rock to you guys. Students at Hacettepe are forming an analogy between this amethyst agate and male genitals. There have been many theories about this particular rock on whether it got cut on this axis to give the rock its current shape or not. But of course next to Fairy Chimneys in Turkey, this is nothing.
We did some geophysics experiments outside, it was technically fieldwork, for electric resistivity. Here at Hacettepe, any kind of fieldwork is valued in an extraordinary way. Compared to other universities in Turkey, we have by far the most fieldwork and lab related classes and this includes geophysics as well.
Right here on the left (at least for desktop users), you see a table with measurement values. Few of the students including me were given the task of keeping the records of the measurements. The table you see here was posted on the WhatsApp group by someone, and I want to point out a rookie mistake that has been made. On the column of rho * a (ohm.m), there are values like (36), while our measured value was (36.0). People tend to think that 36.0 is equal to 36. BUT, IT IS FUCKING NOT! a measured value of 36.0 states that our sensors could measure up to one decimal digit. We do not know about what's ahead, it could be something like 36.03829175, but we wouldn't know about it and that would not be equal to an integer like 36. So, if the sensor says 36.0, record it as 36.0, While reading data, no one would want to get the confusion of the sensors' changing precision of measurement. This always triggers me so I just wanted to talk about it.
MEME OF THE DAY
