Yes, he has a very toxic username. 

Actually, I read somewhere that F is an atom whose presence in drugs may be helpful, so my name is a little less toxic it could appear :D

Yup, this forum has more than two chemists here. @AlFHg and I believe @DaniSRB and myself

Btw, has anyone watched Spanish movie "The Laws of Thermodynamics"? It's pretty cool  one can learn a lot from it

Once my kid is born he/she already outranks you in seniority.

I'm mostly studying  

 

In case there's genuine interest, the place where I study basically functions like this:

 

1. People with autism or autism-related stuff who can't hold on to some education or can't get a job can get an (IT) education at this place

2. After a while, they help you find a job through their by now rather extensive network of customers

 

I think so far around 500 people or so got a job through this in the past 10 (?) years, only 2 students left without success. Personally I'm studying there and 'working' in the Pearson Vue exam center as an exam administrator, while studying and slowly getting more and more actual hands-on/real-world experience.

 

Too bad there's no English section

(and don't bother wondering who I am, I'm glad to say I've so far managed to avoid being on any of the photos published)

At this very moment nothing, since today I finished this part of the certification. Next week we'll take a look at what's next, possibly it's going to be about stuff like network/server management. I've tried my way in cyber security/ethical hacking, but sadly (since there's a shitload of good jobs available in it) that turned out to be just not my thing. Interesting, but something for which one needs a gazillion times as much creativity as I have.

 

It's not like at a university where you're studying for a degree in X or Y
