Mods, please feel free to delete as it's only tangentially relevant.

So I had a strange dream last night. In it, I was late to a party with (ahem) my old school mates and work mates. It was at a themed bar / restaurant, and to enter you had to complete a short test. I was a bit flustered because I was already late and they'd already taken orders, but I gave my order so they could start making it, and started on the "test".

A bunch of the questions were just really basic, eg a maze but with cellular automata chasing you, pretty fun and well designed but something even a child could do. There was one which was a bit more challenging which I forgot but clearly the "main" question was about finding the roots of a chemical compound in Hegel-Minkowski space. At this point about 5 minutes had passed, and I went from flustered to frustrated. I wanted a beer, not to do actual maths.

The chemical was clearly the main protein in chicken, but that's by the by. The interesting thing was the chemical formula simplified in the transformation domain into a linear form. About 5 more minutes and I'd gotten the maths done. However, to my dismay, the answer was looking for two roots. I feel like I was sweating at this point and I could tell that both my school mates and work mates were taking pity on me. One of my workmates (a junior no less!) came up to me and asked how I was going. I explained the linear form from the protein but needing two roots, and she said "Ah! There is a fat!"

Going back to the question, I realised I'd missed a paragraph, and there was indeed a fat. My stress level was through the roof, as the food was being served. Luckily, the test was trying to be helpful and wrote the "input" form as ___ + ___, and I remembered that when doing chemical transforms in Hegel-Minkowski space, a linear output can just be added on in the input stage. Phew, I wouldn't have to start all over. Still, I still needed to go through every expression and update it carefully.

Another 5 minutes in and the owner came by to see how I was going. This was meant to be a 5 minute thing and I'd been on it for like 20 minutes at this point. I said it was fine I was nearly done, but I had the feeling he was asking if I could just skip the test. It was just a gimmick after all. Nevertheless, I'm nothing if not stubborn, so I pushed on. (I think most of you at this point know exactly what the chemicals are and the transform. It's kind of a joke question).

Anyway, I got there and it was just a quadratic. Complex domain but ye olde high school quadratic formula would do it. Was about to solve it and the boss started to raise a toast. The sudden noise woke me up. Realising it had all been a dream, I could feel all the stress drain out of my body.

At this point I realised the roots were easy because it ended up being convenient sine and cosine values (1/sqrt(2) and 1/2). So I solved it in my head and went back to sleep.

Anyway, I got two lessons from this:

1. My brain seems pretty good at making up tests without me thinking about it. Using chicken in the theme, the co-incidence of it being linear, the addition of the fat, the easy angles. All guard rails to make the problem easy to solve. Don't know how that happened.
2. Stress kills. Any time I have a problem I should try and solve it calmly. I know for me it was just a dream but given the sub I guess there are a lot of government people here with some real scary stories about having to remain calm under pressure.

Anyway, sorry, I know it's a bit off-topic, but thought it might get a laugh.

VXers-

Do any of you have Heizsentadt's Corollaries, Volume 1? If so, please post a pic of page 546; I could really benefit seeing the concentrated output distribution curves for Transient Enigmatic Wrënken Grapheolisis (TEWG)?

It's essential that I build a phased containment coil for nebulous flux of secondary quantum frobnions. Yep, you heard it right! I was able to sequence the primary Ghrama quantum frobnions utilizing quark fields, oscillating between the pandimensional hyperphalanges, invoking the chaotic subatomic jerryllium spatbulae.

You'll be interested to know that the TEWG core is fully reamed with a quintessential phlogiston transducer, which was meticulously calibrated to harmonize with the resultant burbellian-quantriks. Through transdonication of gravitonic ywette, a full-spectrum induced state of quantum fusiality was possible at the lowered Ned state of 100 erg/g (SI base units = 2.58×10−4 A⋅s/kg, for those scoring from home).

My estimate for subsequent output, after next cycle is 1 psu/m^(3) × 8.679309 × 10^(−10) C/psu × 1,000,000 m^(3 [)9h^(14,000)/m^(3) ÷ 1.293 g/m^(3) = 9.11 × 10^(−4) K/kg. Of course, I am fully in compliance with the ITRRC (and GOST) recommended absorbed dose... it should go without saying, right?

Just imagine the ramifications if I can pull this off! I wholeheartedly welcome your constructive recommendations and input.

I've been a VX junkie ever since I got my ham radio license. My elmer (mentor) was an old-school VX guy and I've been phased-gamma tunneling down the inverse polaron rabbit hole ever since.

So for those of you who missed my post about it, yesterday I messed up calibrating the Harkinson's reactor, and nearly blew myself up. I'm back with an update, and things have taken a rather unexpected turn.

After that whole debacle, I thought I had dealt with the aftermath pretty well. Sure, my garage looked like it had been through a war, but I walked away relatively unscathed.

Fast forward to a few hours later, and I started noticing some rather peculiar changes in my health. First, there was this slight glow emanating from my skin, especially in dimly lit rooms. At first, I chalked it up to some weird lighting trick or my imagination running wild from the whole thing.

But then things got weirder. I started feeling strangely energized, almost like I had an extra boost of vitality coursing through my veins. And that's when it hit me—I might have underestimated the extent of the fallout from that VX reactor mishap.

After a visit to the "doctor" and some tests, it turns out that I've got something called "radioluminescent blood" due to exposure to the reactor's malfunction. In simpler terms, my blood is glowing.

So, here I am, reaching out to the VX community once again, this time for advice. Has anyone else experienced something like this before? Is there any way to mitigate the effects or reverse the process? And most importantly, should I be worried about accidentally lighting up the night sky every time I get a paper cut?

I appreciate any insights or words of wisdom you can offer. In the meantime, I'll be here, trying to come to terms with my newfound luminescence and contemplating whether glow-in-the-dark blood is considered a fashion statement in some alternate universe.

Stay safe out there, folks, and remember: always, always double-check your safety protocols.

TL;DR: Thought I dodged a bullet after the VX reactor mishap, but now I'm dealing with radioluminescent blood. Seeking advice from the VX community on how to handle this glowing situation.

TIFU just a few hours ago, and I’m still shaking from the adrenaline.

First, a bit of background. I’m a DIY enthusiast, and I’ve been tinkering with VX modules for a while now. I’ve been working on this pet project of mine, trying to optimize the flux induction on my VX reactor to achieve some insane efficiency levels.

I was in my garage, surrounded by a mess of wires, coils, and God-knows-what-else. I thought I had everything under control. I had read the manuals, watched countless YouTube tutorials, and even consulted with some VX pros. I felt like a VX master, ready to conquer the world.

But boy, was I wrong.

I was just about to make the final adjustment when I heard this weird humming noise coming from the reactor. My heart skipped a beat, and before I could react, sparks started flying everywhere. Panic set in, and I scrambled to shut down the system, but it was too late.

In a split second, there was this blinding flash of light, and the next thing I knew, I was flat on my back, staring at the ceiling, wondering if I was still alive. The smell of burnt electronics filled the air, and my ears were ringing like crazy.

I eventually managed to sit up and assess the damage. I was okay, but my garage looked like a warzone. The VX reactor, or what was left of it, was in a smoking heap of metal and wires. My tools were scattered everywhere, and the walls were scorched black.

And then it hit me. I realized what had gone wrong. In my rush to achieve peak performance, I had overlooked a crucial safety protocol. It was a rookie mistake, one that could have cost me my life.

I had failed to properly calibrate the Harkinson's reactors, and the sub-trigrade actuator was operating at dangerously high levels. It was a recipe for disaster, and I had paid the price for my negligence.

I spent the next few hours cleaning up the mess, cursing myself for being so reckless. As I swept up the last of the debris, I made a solemn vow never to underestimate the power of a VX reactor again.

Learn from my mistake, fellow VX enthusiasts. Safety first, always.

TL;DR: Tried to optimize my VX reactor, ended up triggering a near-explosion in my garage due to a rookie oversight. Safety protocols are there for a reason, folks.

I've seen an increasing number of VXers giving completely incorrect advice to people and felt the need to say something. Thorium-core semi-symmetrical cation inducers do not self-correct for Ottenborn-sensitive gamma polarizers above 23 mFd/J. I know people mean well, but please do not give advice on advanced semisolid-state reactions if you don't absolutely know what you're talking about. While exceedingly rare, failure to correct the inducers can lead to a catastrophic paraorthagonal decay chain, releasing fatal amounts of β-rays.

Mods, can we put up sticky or something? Thanks.

Stumbled across this old post yesterday and realized I've seen the same issue a few times. Anybody got a good fix?

Before the mods ban this to oblivion I KNOW, I KNOW that quantum computing isn't the same thing as VX but they do both use Majorana Zero Modes. Anyway, I thought this was interesting article - even if the author is a filthy skeptic.
