It's why I switched to Mest-Rec in like 2005. And have been using it ever since. Though it is ALSO getting more resource hoggy for no apparent reason.

Suddenly it clicks
Topspin eas vibe coded before there was vibe coding.

I didn't think more bloated and RAM eating was possible!!

Buffet power IS Soft Power.

Power to the Cruising Class!

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

What's a BA in chemistry? Like as an organic chemist, I'm the first to admit its not a science (n=1 is fine, and we dont need not stinking controls or statistics!) But still...

In Canada we do not think about cormorants at all. Let alone hate them.

We HATE Canada geese. Hate. Hate. Hate.

I know. Your vague interest in hockey due to that show is...a surprise. Apparently there IS A WAY to have you remotely interested in sport.

You have enough redeeming features that I can risk the corruption of the youth.

Just havent gotten my shit together. Was too busy watching Batherson highlights.

Actually, our cannabis, alcohol, and psychedelic research programs all have potential to ease their pain.

Go Sens Go!

I know what is good for their development as independent free thinking scientists. And that's to get behind the Ottawa Senators.

They can have other opinions when they run their own groups. But if they know whats good for their people, they will keep this as part of the full mentoring package.

Red banner saying Go Sens Go. With a lame Number One Finger foam hand also saying Go Sens Go.

I run this group to train the best scientists anywhere. And I am good at it. I can be flexible where needed, but am rigid about core values of respect, integrity, hard work, excellence & creativity, and Senators Fandom.

Frederick the Great as a younger man. Enlightened Despot, and a model. John Trant's middle name is Frederick. Coincidence? Yes.

4. Although I take the viewpoints of my team members seriously: they have a big say in how we operate, veto power in recruitment, and a free policy to criticize me and my ideas at all times, THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY.

It is the most benign academic autocracy in human history.

Garbage can with Habs logo I'm a street. Garbage next to it because the Habs cant hit a target no matter what. Yes the horse is dead, no reason not to keep beating it.

For especially toxic fandoms, special disposal is available.

Biosafety waste containers are provided for Maple Leaf fans, and radiation disposal is provided for Montreal fans.

We have nothing strong enough available to ease the suffering of Detroit fans.

Garbage pail branded with Maple Leafs. Makes it very clear where to dispose of Marner sweaters and Maple Leaf fans' hope.

Posters of Tim Stutzle or other players (i guess) will be available for lab walls to put over seasonal items like important reference data or legally required safety documents.

We want everyone to feel included. Garbage containers are provided for disposing of gear associated with other Teams.

Picture of a sheet of 12 miscellaneous Ottawa Senators stickers. Perfect for any occasion or surface.

3. Inclusiveness is essential. Otherwise diversity simply becomes window dressing, and equity in recruitment leads to poor retention.

All Trant Team members are offered decals for their fumehoods, HPLCs, and biosafety cabinets. Little flags will be available for office doors and desks.

Pic of Sanderson and Chabot. Look, you never have 4 dmen on the ice at once.

Jake Sanderson mid puck recovery on a dump in, about to lead a counterattack transition with possession.

And a statement of Faith in salvation through the Puck Retireval of the competent tetrarchy of Samderson, (bionic) Chabot, Spence (the steal), and Zuuuuuub!!! will be appended to out required IP confidentiality forms.

Picture of some of the Stanley Cup banners hanging in the CTC along with the retired sweater of Daniel " Siri, show me a picture of God" Alfredsson.

Championship display of the 1927 Stanley Cup Champions...YOUR Ottawa Senators! Note that Ottawa won their last cup in 1927. Ottawa's team went into dormancy in 1934. The Toronto Maple Leafs last won a cup in 1967. Otrawa renetered the league in 1992. It is now 2026. You can do math.

This lack of previous exposure to these essential experiences is not their fault. It must be considered with compassion. The right response is not to exclude them, it is to provide education. Its why a lecture series on Senators History will be included in our orientation package moving forward.

Marian Hossa with his mullet. Oddly captured outside of his natural environment of the late 90s, which was driving down the wing in possession, shrugging off attempted hooks and interference typical of the dead puck era, on his way to score A BEAUTY!

We must consider that those who have never lived within the 613/819 may never have learned of the clear superiority of the Sens. They never had the chance of hearing the chants at 11:11. Or the joy of turning the chants of opponents against them in mocking joy. Or the glory of Hossa's flow.

Picture of people with red and white and black face paint dressed in cheap knock off Roman Armour. Some people, like these Ancient Roman's, grew up without exposure to the Ottawa Senators. But, as is clear, Fandom can welcome all peoples whole respecting their cultural traditions. Like wearing fake armour made of plastic.

2. Equity needs to always be considered. Many have been less able to show their potential as they come from resource poor backgrounds without access to opportunities. This impacts their CVs, meaning we must try to consider how they did compared to how others would have fared under similar conditions

Picture of Canadian Tire Centre. The home of YOUR Ottawa Senators!!

There are 4 main reasons:

1. No diversity in opinion can be allowed on subjects of core Human Rights interests.

Racism, homophobia, transphobia are anti human and have no place in our group. Neither do hateful ideologies like support for any of the 31 NHL teams other than the Ottawa Senators.

Official Pride Flag of the Ottawa Senators. Unlike some NHL teams, Ottawa has a strong record of supporting all. Even under previous ownership that had issues, this was never one of them. Though the views of some players are shit. James Reimer? Looking at you. Yes, you.

Canada's largest medicinal chemistry group bleeds black, red and white.

But, you say, John, its impossible that you have unanimous consent.

Dont you value diversity, equity and inclusiveness? How can you be so tribal?

Of COURSE EDI centres everything we do. That's why we are all in on the Sens!

Picture of a crowd of Senators Fans in Ottawa. There may be no Trnat Team members in the photo. Mostly because they were all anchored to work stations in Windsor.

This clear and over the top Senators bias are not only the personal views of John Trant, but are ALSO the official views of the 90-member Trant Research Team.

Heart over hype written under the Senators logo. This was the motto for the 2025 playoffs.

For the next 16 Senator wins (or the impossible alternative, their unfair and clearly rigged defeat at the hands of a morally inferior opponent) this is now an Ottawa Senators fan account. Chemistry content is suspended (what chemistry content you say? Yes.)

I wore a Sens t shirt to invigilate my organic 2 final on Thursday night. For many of these traumatized Wing fans in Windsor, I'm not sure which was more traumatizing.

Those who say Universities are Safe Spaces that coddle their students? Not under my watch. We push the pressure.

If that doesn't kill his re-election prospects, nothing will.

You are joking, right??

Its too cold for vegetables. All we have is aliums, meat, grain, and cheese.

That is just the traditional food of my people. Ontarians.
