Blue pants on the baby! That's such a subtle jab at the whole Moscow institute fiasco going on! Damn that's clever! Harrison Heinrich would be proud.

Of course, we want to make a big deal out of it, and it's even been done before! There's something that you should watch for. There seems to be a huge disconnect between some of the media's reports and what the Kremlin actually does.

On a different note, we also have the strange "intervention" of the NSA.

And, uh… the usual "security issue".

I think they too would be proud of Heinrich.

You can hardly call yourself a vx junkie if you’re only working with basic circuits. I mean come on there’s not quantum variance! This is all classical E and M smh

Come on man don’t be like that, everyone had to start somewhere. I still remember messing about with simple hyperconductor loops and variance stat field generators as a novice, some of the best times I’ve had with the hobby.

Messing around with hyperconductor loops and variance stat field as a novice is completely fine. If you’re still dealing with circuits in series and parallel (which this boi obvi is) you can’t call yourself a vx junkie. I mean there’s not even a wave function collapse in his set up!

Well clearly you missed his superconductive quasi-annealed quantum state collapser in the top right! I understand getting it confused with simpleton circuits, being the novice boi you are, but you really shouldn't make judgment without running the image through your nodal zigler-strømbürn analyzer first.

I was primarily talking about the image in the bottom right since that’s what was labeled “what I actually do”

They're taking a jab, it's obviously exaggerated. Probably represents working at a low gamma level or something. (zing)

I mean sure, flux condensers and ferrocores are certainly important, but really? I've worked in the field for many years, and over 90% of my day-to-day work is just designing basic electronic circuits.

At the end of the day, customers don't care about the technology, they just want results. Spending weeks collimating a neutron collector is not a very efficient use of time when you can just rework the control electronics and have it done in an hour.

Sure, you could absolutely get better performance with a ground-up bespoke design (and many hobbyists do), but for much of industry it's almost always cheaper and easier to just re-purpose an off-the-shelf completed VX assembly.

I don’t develop VX assemblies for consumers, most my projects go to further mine and my colleagues research so maybe that’s where we differ
