A good day

It's been a great day of programming and design today with some really positive developments on the project. So far, I've managed to add these new features into the game:

Belt splitters and mergers

New machine selection outline

Machine detail popups for both the Extractor and Pulverizer machines

Saving and loading (yes!)

Although I won't go into the boring details about the save/load functionality, I managed to get it implemented in just 156 lines of code. A chunk of this was some intermediate serialization classes to help reduce the amount of data being dumped out from each machine. I now only store the bare minimum of details for each placed object, and rebuild the data when loading it back in.

You can see is working here:

I did slip up briefly where I forgot to include save data for items inside of splitters and mergers. An easily fixed oversight. Although splitters and mergers only have a work time of about 500 milliseconds, during that time they do technically have sole 'ownership' over the item they've just take in, so saving it is essential so that I can repopulate the splitter/merger on loading the save.

The final steps

For those keeping track, I only have one final task on my 'essential' list to reach a state of having something that, in most senses of the word, is a game.

I'll need to add a machine that you can move the items into which will generate science points, mostly as a short-term game objective in place of more elaborate things.

Sceince points

Each item will have an intrinsic science value, and a depreciation multiplier so that it'll have diminishing returns.

For example, I can consider the following initial values:

Akorite - Science value = 10, Depreciation = 0.01

Granulated Akorite - Science value = 16, Depreciation = 0.01

Every time you research an item, its science value is depreciated by the following formula:

Science value = science value * (1 - depreciationValue)

This creates a depreciation curve where you quickly lose the highest science value from the item, and it'll slowly peter out over time. Once an item falls below 1 science value, it's considered 'research complete' and no longer of scientific value.

I'm still considering how I want to implement this, I may decide that this approach doesn't work that well in practice. But for now, it's something I know will at least mean you can't infinitely produce science, and gives me a way to predict the amount of achievable science in a given scenario.

Anyway, that's all I have for today. Thanks if you made it this far, I hope this provided something of interest. Hopefully I'll have some more time tomorrow to work on some other bits too.

Have a great evening all! :)

The Sichuationali. Pro.Science. Generality. Experiment- Realisticallity Architipicallaity and Restoration Collectivity- Belief and Uvric Religiousity, Historicality and Pop-Culture Relations, Realativity, Proximity.

Uvric religiousity is based upon collective story telling and imagination. based upon, due to, and through its collective, sociatal, creativitiarial relations-ships, archtypical ideas and concepts form in the collective conciousness, and lead to realistic interactions, interactivity. For example once someone heres of the goddess hera disguised as an old lady crossing the river, they learn the moral lessons and apply them to there own life. This levels up to that of Uvric Religiousitys Collectivly soccialitley participated in imaginairialism (through the stories, writen and spoken, participated in bed imaginairialism- if your familiar, of your on self-in-bed-imaginiarlism, you can conceptualize this) manifesting themselves for real personified interactions, in the outside world, based upon the visions, physcals that are from/for imajinitivetarial contact manifesting an arnic reality through its collective (agreed upon) reality. So you see its work from storied teachings interactions (moral nachuralities) to metaphysical interactions (archtipical manifestions) to meta-contextual, (realisticallity imaginitivetorality) interactive, reactions, based around/upon the akshinibilality occurences of ones socialtly structure. This is what would be considered Uvric Envirnmentalism. Religion, considered mythologie, suspicously historically, manifiests anti-science philosophy. Historical researches are key componentes to the resserection of the uvric religousity, as is pro-sceince philosophy development.

Through pro-science work and studies on uvric religiousity Pro-science thought will lead to well comprehension of these conceptual metaphysical anatomicail and envirnmental studies, through pro-science interests, experiments and philophical experiments, meditations and writing, works. Through this comes the coneceptual developement of science-philosophy post pro-anti group-collective development of rejection and denial of anti-science philosophy. With this and along the way we can matter the advancement of emotionality linguistics and lingiustic maths, and experiments on its affectualition upon our metaphysical, inner, and outer realities. The Vijzuns we apply to our imajination and the fizkulszs that are involved, interaction, reaction, development of interaction reaction experiments through pro-science will lead to the realization of emotionality linguistics association and the operation of linguistics math. Then, beyond that is then the reasonable application for history math, and history science, in need to study history and reveal its secrets. Where the source of child abuse comes from the realisticallity of the holocausts restoration and the archytipicallity of the creation of the dream, its historical source and its relation to the metaphiciality of the earth, relating it to the study of the Earths M.AE.Be, its nachural development and its healing, of earths metaphysicality through studying the dream is urgrent to our development on the planet and its continuation for the human race.

I believe we live in a Post-Hauth (stand in for the creator of the dream) Post-Apactalyptic society that is in need of studying the dream. Study the dream. Study the imajinations metaphysical anatomy and research history for pro-science historical referncial relations. Especially in reference to the mythologicailization of uvric religions and the creation of history, as well as the indian region religousity, and its affects on the development ancestry. Especially specificailly in relation to the dream and its structers on the northern eastern face of the planets metaphycality collectivitly, religousity (possibly uvric eastern relegiousity).

I suggest serial experiments- (source. task-serial experiment. the history of science and the hittite civilization to grecian, slvakian religion- religiousity.). Wikipedia. Update, Upgrade. It-Together.

[kavisceincespace]

Welcome!

I have random thoughts/urge and curiosity to research/write things I discover so this blog is literally dedicated to things I find/discover in my free time and articles/papers I write based on what I'm interested in or what interests me.

[delafiseaseses]

Oh, you know. Finding alternative treatments for common illnesses and injuries. Stimpaks out of barrel cacti and other fantastic improbabilities. As far as fruitless wastes of time go, it's quite noble in its aims.

Arcade, matey, you're looking at the wrong plants: home made Stimpaks are Broc Flower, Xander Root and a Empty syringe. You need the syringe, Arcade, and a Workbench.

Although, even if you had those materials, you wouldn't be able to do it, would you? I mean, you lack Science Skill of 70 needed. In fact, you lack any Science Skill, you're 'doctor' skill is Medicine... they really shouldn't've put you on that research.

Shame we can't tell Julie the answer to her Home Made Stimpak desire, if she knew how to do it, she'd be able to, that 100 Sceince skill and all. I mean, we can teach Jack of the Great Khans Super Stimpaks, but not even regular stuff for the Followers?

Ducktales Reboot Reviews: The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!

Fenton faces some of his greatest challenges yet: Gizmoduck’s soaring popularity and the possiblity of amour...  oh and the return of his arch enemy but that’s a standard tuesday for a superhero. It’s a Date, don’t let him trick you noooo, under the cut. 

I have to admit something first: I WAS going to cover the other two fentoncentric episodes before I got to this one, as a build up to this weekends episode. The problem though was I realized that this week’s episode is, via word of god, going to cover WHY Gyro hates Fenton , and thus I really can’t dig into Gyro’s behavior in both eps, especially Who Is Gizmoduck? where despite his rational fears of having funding cut, he’s still an uttershithead to fenton and I feel it’d be better served if I waited a little and did the ep sometime after saturday.  So with that bit of expostion you probably didn’t need out of the way: Dangerous Chemistry! This one is a personal faviorite of mine, to the point that when I was bored a week or two ago I watched this one just for fun, and probably will again. That’s not why i’m reviewing it: even if I hadn’t I would rewatch it and planned to for the ones I was going to review, it’s just dumb luck. And part of that is Fenton is one of my faviortes: Lin Manuel Miranda really brings his a game to the character, and the crew really fleshed him out, making him a really likeable, fun, and relatable awkward dork. Another reason is one that should be obvious if you saw my comics reviews when I in vain tried to review each dawn of x comic on a weekly basis before throwing up my hands at the sheer volume: I fucking love super heroes, and Who is Gizmoduck and this very episode are very good superhero stories that still fit well into the ducktales universe, as is the darkwing debut “The Duck Knight Returns!”. And finally the episode also has Huey in a major role and I love my red boy. So with all that stuff out of the way I can dive into the ep itself.  This one, as you probably know but I do like me my context, takes place in the second half of season. While Fenton did show up earlier for fellow instant classic “The 87 Cent Solution!”, he’s otherwise been absent this season. My honest theroy is, rather than Lin being busy, which while he sure as hell is he still squeezes the show in, it’s more a simple fact that season 2 is pretty damn stuffed: looking back at the episode count almost EVERY ONE ties into one of the major arcs of the season (Della’s journey home/struggle to fit into her kids life/ the moonvasion, glomgold’s bet with scrooge and louie inc), and those that don’t either bring in major new characters like the Cablleros or Drake, or touch on previous arcs: Last Christmas! touching on Dewey missing his mom while she’s still missing. Lena’s episodes bringing her back to the world of the living/introducing her sister, and then resolving her fear of magica for now and revealing where Magica’s been, and this ep checking in on fenton. There was just a LOT to do and get through, and Gandra was really the only time sesntive thing Fenton wise they had to absolutley do this season. So while it sucks, I do understand why they did it this way,  I do see why and hold no ill will over it.  And to the crew’s credit they used the fact Fenton had been absent cleverly and had a valid reason why we hadn’t seen him outside of one breif apperance: he’s busy. Simple as that. He’s been superheroing all this time: when we catch up with him he’s outright called burnt out by a c-list weather villian who looks like dr.doofnschmritz but lacks his awkward charm. He even uses the same pun twice. It’s also logical: his literal JOB is to be a superhero, it’s what he’s paid for, and given Duckberg seems ground zero for lunatics, it’s only natural ther’es a bakers dozens with techno gimmicks and costumes floating around trying to beat him up. He’s naturally exausted and i’ts made worse by two factors: His alter ego being all over the news, so even when h’es off work he can’t escape work, and being unable to do science.  And both are clever delimas: a lot of the usual superhero issues are non existant for fenton: while he’s bad at hiding his identity, the only person he really has to hide from is his mom, who we later learn at the end of the season already knows and has come around to it. His job isn’t in remote jeapordy because Gizmoduck IS the job, while he still has full acess to a lab to do the science work he’s always wanted. But he’s starting to see the price for doing the right thing: He’s spent so much time as Gizmoduck.. Fenton has nothing of his own. No time to do science, only two friends, and as a result is exausted and burnt out and yearning for a break.  So thankfully he’s taking one, and in another use of “time has moved on a bit because we didn’t have time for Fenton this season” he and Huey have gone from superhero and biggest fan to best friends. But I let it slide, partly because again the season is overstuffed dand i’ll likelky delve into that more when I get to this seasons arcs at some point, and mainly beause the two have a great dynamic: Huey is supportive, just wants his friend to be okay, and meshes with fenton perfectly: Their both big nerds who people tend ot ignore who get overly excited about science. But Hueys more openly confident while Fenton clearly lacks it at times. It’s a nice eb and flow I hope to see more of. 

HE and Huey are hanging out to do science and stuff, with webby tagging along because why not, and I absolutly love the gag of gizmoduck passing by, Webby not noticing at all and only finding out Fenton and Gizmoduck are the same person because Huey makes a rather big deal abotu the fact Gizmoduck just passed by and Webby is really smart and likes solving shit.  So we quickly get the rest of our setup: At the elctronics store, Fenton has a meet cute (which the juinor woodchuck guidebook of course has an entry on. ) with Gandra Dee, played by guest acress Jameela Jamil, better known from the good place and being the only one to point out “hey emil hirsch beat the shit out of the woman what the fuck” when quinten Tarantino cast him in the otherwise amazing film “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood”, who does a great job here. The two have some romantic tension as she calls fenton a suit and what not, he fires back he is good at sceincing and they schedule what may or may not be a date... with Fenton unaware that Gandra is a spy hired by mark beaks to get the gizmoduck passowrd and use her nanites merged with gizmotech to boost his strength. As you do.  The resulting episode is really damn good: Starting in the obvious place, Fenton and Gandra have a reall good dynamic: besides the obvious oppsoites attract thing: the modernized nerutoic nerd and the rebllious scientest there’s the nice contrast in who they work for: Sure Fenton works for a billionare who DOES use some of his and gyro’s work for fairly self serving things (and I didn't realize the universal solvant was a rosa thing first time around, I learned it between viewings, but it’s a nice mythology gag), but it’s been shown as far back as the pilot that’s he’s more than willing ot help all of duckberg, even if it makes a profit. WHy WOULD he stop gyro or fenton’s research for any reason? He funnels a ton of money into them simply beause he knows for every dozen failures something useful will come out of it and at most simply wants more treasure hunting gear, stuff both can whip up easily and for Fenton to spend most of his time as defender of the city, something Fenton wanted anyway. He’s a good boss... while the billionares Gandra’s working with, Bradford as we learned later and beaks in this episode.. are self serving scumbags who only want innovation for world domination and personal validation. By refusing to have ties with or trust anybody or put in the legwork to find an employer who would give her mostly freedom, she wants complete freedomf or her work in exchange for taking money from truly awful people. She’s no freer than fenton is and her hypcoricy is obvious, without making the character terrible in any way. As the kingpin once said in spiderman the animated series “the best strings are invisble”. While Gandra is well aware of who she’s working for she refuses to see the irony or the possible harm in her actions , and it’ll be intresting to see where her charcter goes from ehre.  As for Beaks, he’s a FAR better threat here than in the past episodes: I didn’t MIND him being a joke villian, though I was horribly disapointed, and he will likely be super dated eventually... but here it finds a nice ballance: While he’s still a whiny manchild, the breaking into the lab sequence is utterly delightful and shows that he’s NOT harmless. He’s at his best, like glomgold, when he’s either off to the side comedic relief, or a mixture of genuinely threatining and utterly moronic. His drinking 80 pounds of senstive chemicals turns him into the hulk and the resulting fight scnees are great, as is his confusion upon taking huey and webby hostage “I have your kids.. I think.. I don’t know how this family works” and his cries of “whose the looser now coach dad” are both funny and offerd our first peak into why he’s so screwed up. And his defeat while rediculous is clever, using his love of fame and his phone against him. Overall a much better showing than the past that so far has kept up into season 3: even if his plan backfired there and was for goofy reasons, it was here too, it only fell apart because he hired someone who hated him and underestiamated how much he’d pissed off graves last time. 

As for Fenton himself, the episod eis a great showcase, besides the before issues his manuvering around both the obvious date the kids set up for him (more on that in a second), and his genuine chemsitry and contrast with gandra are a delight.. as his his dad’s lesuire suit. On top of that the scenes wher ehe chews gandra out are a great bit of acting from Lin manuel Miranda, the hurt and fury in his voice coming through great.  To finish it out Huey is a delight this episode, showing himself to be a suprisingly good romantic for his age, serously violet won the lottery with this one, and while overenthsastic, i’ts still sweet and his friendship with fenton is genuinely heartwarming, as is what has to be the best line of the episode besides the beaks one above Huey: Fenton’s going to be devistated! Webby: (Annoyed) Or kidnapped by spies! Huey: (Dead serious) TWO BAD THINGS COULD HAPPENS! It’s a sweet dyanmic overall and the cherry on top of an utterly fantastic episode. Hopefully the momentum keeps up going into saturday. Until then, later days. Speaking of which.. WHY ISN’T THE WEEKENDERS ON DISNEY PLUS. God I shouldn’t be able to keep thinking of shows that are missing. Anyways, once again later days.  P.S. I almost forgot Launchpads great bit listing off all his exes and confriming that he’s probably bi. It was great.

A Charge Transfer Determination of Paracetamol with Picric Acid

A cost effective and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the assay of paracetamol in pure and commercial forms. The method employed was charge transfer complexation. Paracetamol formed a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio with picric acid. The complex was quantified at 500nm. Beer –Lambert’s law was obeyed within a concentration range of 5-10ug/ml with molar absorptivity of 2.6 x104Lmol-1cm-1. The method was used for the determination paracetamol in pure and commercial forms with percentage mean recovery of 95%.

okay okay okay so I have been doing Sceince Research(TM) and have Found Some Interesting Stuff

let's start w the lungfish and coelacanths.

there are about 6 extant (living) species of lungfish, most in africa. they look kind of like eels if you only see their face. they are an elongated fish, but not by much. they prefer still water.

lungfish, as their name suggests, have lungs. they also have gills. they can survive in water and in air/on land.

they are taxonomically classified as a species of fish, and they can survive in both water and on land.

let that sink in for a bit.

another interesting bit about lungfish is that they're lobe-finned fish, which basically means their fins are more fleshy than other fish fins (such as ray-finned fish, like the fins of goldfish) and that their fins more resemble limbs, but not quite. basically thick and somewhat short fleshy fins.

here's a picture of one of the species:

a beautiful boy. you can see that the fins are a bit thicker than other fish's fins.

lungfish are also pretty weird/awesome because they connect their lungs to their swim bladder/other breathing ports without a trachea. it's a direct connection.

and those funky little dudes have recently been discovered to be the closest extant relative/precursor to tetrapods, contrary to what was believed for quite a while- that coelacanths are the closest extant relative/precursor.

now to the coelacanth. both the coelacanth (of which there are only two known species) and the lungfish are part of the Sarcopterygii family, aka the lobe-finned fish. coelacanths also have lungs (the lungfish were not the first to develop them) and are lobe-finned, but they resemble fish more closely than their cousin the lungfish.

see what I mean?

you can also see the lobe fins on this guy (the back fins kind of look like feet lol). his face suggests he is shocked and offended that this diver had the audacity to get this photo.

moving on,

here's another picture of a coelacanth next to a diver so you can see how big they are.

yeah.

for comparison, a lungfish grows up to 40 inches (200 cm). the coelacanth can grow over 6 feet (2m).

both the coelacanth and the lungfish are living fossils.

they are fish caught in that weird time period when organisms from the sea saw the land and were like "that niche is empty. feet." for some reason these guys never got the memo so they stayed like this for about 65 million years.

why? why didn't they evolve like the others? why are they stuck in this half-state, caught between the ocean and the land, as if not sure which way they want to go? was there simply no evolutionary pressure? did another niche open up after so many species went to the land, and these guys took it and decided that was good enough? was there simply not enough evolutionary pressure?

and why did the coelacanth only appear in 1938?

we have records, carbon-dated fossils, of coelacanths from 66 million years ago. they were alive, for quite a while, and roaming. and then they disappeared, only to reappear off the coast of South Africa in 1938 where an unwitting diver stumbled upon the discovery of a lifetime. it's probable that they simply adapted to become deep-sea or deep-cavern fish, and that's why we've not seen them for so long, but if so why'd they keep their lungs? 65 million years is enough time to evolve them out.

so why did they leave for so long?

what happened?

FISH AND MARINE LIFE IN GENERAL ARE SO FUCKING WEIRD MAN. THEY'RE SO GENETICALLY DIVERSE THAT WE'RE MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO A LUNGFISH THAN A TUNA IS TO THE BILLFISH FAMILY. ACTUALLY ON THAT NOTE THE TUNAS AND THE BILLFISH WERE ALL IN THE FAMILY SCOMBRIDAE FOR A WHILE EVEN THO TUNA ARE MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO A SEAHORSE THAN ONE OF THE BILLFISH. FUCKING COELACANTHS. THEY'RE FUCKING LIVING FOSSILS. THIS SHIT IS CRAZY.
