I'm thinking about sticking one of those magnet induction loops on my TInspire CXII CAS so that I can put it on a holder. Will the magnet affect the calculator at all? I'm scared that it'll break mid test or during something important.

It doesn't take much to tell that he has a unique style of narration. Having read only two of his works (GR and Lot 49), this 'voice' is definitely more unique in Lot 49, which I could only describe as complexly layered. The sentence structure which he employs is oftentimes interlooping, for example the first sentence of Lot 49, which in itself is 66 words without a period in between:

>One summer afternoon Mrs Oedipa Maas came home from a Tupperware party whose hostess had put perhaps too much kirsch in the fondue to find that she, Oedipa, had been named executor, or she supposed executrix, of the estate of one Pierce Inverarity, a California real estate mogul who had once lost two million collars in his spare time but still had assets numerous and tangled enough to make the job of sorting it all out more than honorary.

Now beyond his structural complexity there is also often a shadow of a social commentary intertwined with the themes in his works. There is oftentimes a vivid reflection of the historic background of whatever period of history its set in, and the 'human' element of that period, as in the suffocating human detritus of San Narciso.

Critics often say his works are satirical, but I would say they (specifically Lot 49, I don't remember GR that well) are rather an absurdist reflection of humanity in the gritty bits of society.

I haven't found a way to articulate in a single sentence this voice/style of narration other then "complex". How would you describe Pynchon to someone's who've never read him?

I have two speakers and a subwoofer and will probably be listening both at the monitor and on the bed... I also have no idea how any of this work I just want nice music

I want to do my chemistry (HL) IA on metal organic frameworks with dependent variable being surface area (pore size). I know we normally need 5 trials x 5 discrete variables for a decent grade, but I am thinking of using BET analysis to measure my DV.

basically:

IV	DV
Intentional defects in framework (introduced by replacing a linker with molecules containing the same functional groups but smaller, ie trimesic acid --> 3x acetic acid) altered in increments of 5% from 0 to 30	Surface area (measured through BET, used to estimate amount of defects)

Now the only issue is that BET analysis aint cheap — I'll have to pay almost 400 dollars out of my pocket if I were to run 25 BET analyses.

Since each BET produces a plot instead of a singular data point, can I just use one trial for each discrete DV increment? I'll be able to perform goodness of fit test on that singular plot, but with red.-x-square instead of R^(2).

I really like this topic and don't want to change it... please im stuck

For context, scholar labs is google scholar's AI search function.

Being fairly against the use of AI myself, I find scholar labs more or less tolerable because it finds details inside articles, and it directly quotes the relevant text instead of hallucinating doohickey summaries. It also gives direct links to the paper, which is better than other AIs which just dream up imaginary DOIs. In general, it saves a bunch of time, but I'm still not sure if I like it or not, even though it has proven to be reliable.

Any thoughts?

(no idea if this breaks rule 11, if so im sorry mods)
