Ooo a new fetish! Thanks!

I wonder if ketamine has the same effect, he asked apropos of nothing…

American copyright law? Basically every research institution in America pays them lots of money for electronic subscriptions in order to not get sued. Like academics don’t give a fuck and will use scihub or email a friend or whatever but their institution will just subscribe to a plausible number of things to avoid drawing the attention of the publishers. For profit research like pharma or industrial chem are even more buttoned up because they are much juicier targets for potential IP suits.

Well for the first several hundred years they actually produced a product that they mailed to people and that took employees and infra that the various unis didn’t care to have (with some exceptions for university presses like Oxford and Cambridge). Now it’s 100% momentum and branding. You publish in Science because that’s the impressive one for Science.

Low rise, boot cut, baby!

Don’t worry black rock has the money to snap up all your uninsurable hovels and will gladly rent them back to you…
