aro culture is doing that “turn to page 30 of the nearest book and the first sentence describes your love life” challenge, but you soon realize that the book you’ve chosen doesn’t have page numbers

#aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod kee #me: perpetually surrounded by college textbooks #me turning to page 30: ... for uniaxial tensile or compressive stress and [eqn] for simple shear where tau = G*gamma #basically a description of strain energy caused by atomic dislocations in a crystal lattice. #make of my love life what you will. #(it then describes the energy of dislocations for the remainder of the page... concluding that the strain energy of a dislocation is #proportional to the natural log of the radius of the strain field and that the strain energy is proportional to the square of #the burgers vector) #yes i know what this all means #welcome to the second theory class in my major: hell #taught by our man jp who is an old dude with wild stories and zero teaching ability despite being huge in the field #(thus: initials. we only call him jp or his last name though) #(i'm not typing his last name. you could genuinely find him. don't do that.) #ah another 30 pages in is a description of the nine common defects in a pure metal crystal #hmm i forget what a stacking fault or twin is and we never really discussed the two bulk defects but hey w/e they're p self explanatory #big holes and big chunks of smth else (pure is... relative) #like seriously. pure is VERY relative. polymers can be pretty damn pure but metals? hah. they laugh in your face. #also you probably don't want or need pure metals in most applications other than making a precise alloy #pure (elemental) metals are. hm. bad for most things. #chatty kee #nerdy kee #listen my major is just. like this. also y'all have not lived til you've seen a microscopy of metal you prepared #me looking at my inch diameter metal cylinder encased in a resin that was carcinogenic powder an hour ago in a microscope: :heart_eyes: #look up brass microstructure if you wanna see it. if it's pretty yellow and there's dark/light you've got an uncolored one otherwise
