@LeoPaccianiMori I remember an Italian Physicist, can't recall his name, but was eagerly waiting the first results of the LGC, which would determine which theories were most likely, and he at an old age looking absolutely terrified on what the results would be. I guess this would explain his situation. (ultimately, the method of his study I believe was not probable after results came)

@LeoPaccianiMori Is that purely based on the complexity of the physics experiments vs the less complexity of biology experiments then. Physicist would have to dedicate most of their life to one experiment, vs being able to jump right in to a biology experiment? Is that the reason for people such as yourself to switch? It would seem more stressful I guess, to do the former and yield little results, where as the latter you can immediately move on to the next experiment.

@LeoPaccianiMori But I guess I wouldn't know. I just read a lot of books in the field for leisure, I don't live the lifestyle.

@LeoPaccianiMori Wow. Never really thought about it like that. Enlightening.

@LeoPaccianiMori observed, or not observed* 😂

@LeoPaccianiMori very interesting. Is it because of how long it takes to come up with, and "prove", new ideas, that it seems like a losing endeavor for the majority?

@LeoPaccianiMori Yeah, that was the assumption I was making. I guess I assumed moving out of physics to another field, you would retain the same theoretical vs experimental mindset. Interesting that it's not the case, as much.

@LeoPaccianiMori as in theoretical vs experimentation, that is.

@LeoPaccianiMori Is that a common switch? My assumptions of physicists (scientists in general) was always that those 2 types were always born out of the individual's fundamental personality type.

@BigDogBo

Yeah. For what you do, the maintenance engeneer would come up with a plan, and the EHS manager and myself would go over it for safety concerns, potential envinronmental hazards, and to make sure we followed all applicable laws. When a large company bought our facility (before they closed it) we had 5 EHS managers because they were worried about workplace liabilities. Crazy, it definitely only took one.

I stuck around to the end, didn't look for another jobs, closed the plant, so now I am going to school for free. Just about to finish first semester.

@BigDogBo

@BigDogBo Ahhhhhh. You are kind of like an EHS Manager? My last job, until recently, I was in charge of all the handling of HazMat/HazWast. I.e took care of all recycling needs, oils/coolants, hazardous material, hazwaste, and was the Safety lead, as well as the 2nd shift Union rep. We had 3 plants at the facility. Kept me busy. To get the place ready for closure, I worked for a 15 months 6-7 days a week, 10-12hrs a day and loved every bit of it. New company that bought the facility said they would be hiring in early 2023, so maybe go back. I guess are jobs purposes were similar maybe?

@bloodaxe I've never been able to. But I thought I saw it's addition in 4.0.

@sozialwelten Yeah, private. I remember a few years ago a lot of requests for a public option for it @joshbressers

@War_Kittens no
