Did you have special permission to go inside the greenhouse will all the suculents? When I went there it was not open to the public

You can have as many C-F bonds as you want i a single molecule, but not in a chain, because F will be connected to only a single C.

a chain of incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bonds

Pedantic mode: The longest chain of C-F bonds you can have has length two.

I think that’s only used in Chinese and Japanese, so that °C occupies as much space as a Chinese/Japanese character.

Oh no. It just means I bought it already in bloom, then the flowers wilted, and then some time later it bloomed again. So really I’m just bragging that I managed to make it bloom again.

Yes! There’s Monkey Island 1–3, linked from the bottom of https://networkscience.wordpress.com/2021/03/13/game-dependency-graph-day-of-the-tentacle/

Everybody knows you can factorize out the sum in the denominator because it doesn’t depend on j (It’s just a normalization factor)

Thanks!

It’s when going up the Sky 100 Observation Deck in Hong Kong

Btw, there were also a few Vandas, a even less Dendrobiums if I recall correctly

The Longest Journey

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a long list of games I want to play make graphs from, and I just checked and that game already on it. So one day, it should come

Exactly, it’s the Venetian in Macau

Why is the first picture a Paphiopedilum? (It’s an orchid)

Oh yeah thanks, that’s what it reminded me of.

The photograph is taken looking up in a room. There are thousands of cables hanging down from the ceiling to the floor, with LEDs attached at regular intervals. The room has mirrors on the walls, on the ceiling and on the floor, so in whatever direction you look you see this. The whole this is programmed to shown different colors changing over time, combined with music and sounds. You can go through the room through a predefined path where the cables are shorter and don’t reach the floor, allowing you to walk under them. It gives the illusion that you’re in the middle of some infinite arrangement of lights, going on in all directions, sometimes moving, sometimes rotating, or just pulsating with the music. The room is part of a wider art installation called “teamLab SuperNature”, in Macau, and it is quite a unique experience.
