Just had this interaction with one of the Dutch students in my group.

This may well be the pinnacle of my professional career.

"K"

@quixoticgeek @mattkenworthy

Helium?

He don't do that

[quixoticgeek@social.v.st]

@bruce @mattkenworthy I quit my job at the helium factory, frankly, I don't like being spoken to in that tone of voice...

[astrohyde@mastodon.social]

@mattkenworthy was the bond you formed with this joke ionic or covalent?

[rejzor@mastodon.social]

@mattkenworthy We should just call it Nadium, a combination of Natrium and Sodium.

[marlike@mastodon.social]

@mattkenworthy Ask him why we use the words salt and soda in Dutch instead of words related to natrium.

[vickforcella@mastodon.derg.nz]

@mattkenworthy Ha!
