Where in the cell are proteins folded/combined to get their tertiary and quaternary structures?

Cytoplasm, primarily. In some cases, they may not achieve their final conformation there yet; for example, certain types of translocation through membranes in bacteria works only for unfolded proteins, which then assume their structure... wherever.

Proteins are usually not so much folded as they simply are folding. The structure is largely a function of their makeup and the environment.

Does anyone know of a program like this? Really seems like it ought to be out there but I'm not even sure how to search for it.
I want a program that will let me create a bunch of "pages" or entries that consist of a picture and some text and/or customizable labeled data boxes that can be filled in (like name, date, location, etc.).
I also want it to automatically organize these into a list, and be able to sort the list into subcategories and see at a glance how many entries are in each subcategory. The more drag-and-drop-y the better, since I'm really limited in how much I can type right now.

…Basically I'm picturing something similar to a Pokédex, but for things that aren't Pokémon.

Spoiler: what I want it for (click to show/hide)

I'm hoping to practice my wildlife photography by doing some real-life Pokémon snap, and want a nice way to organize it that isn't going to kill my hands. The idea is to rate my own photos so that I can replace them in the gallery when I get a better one, with the goal of getting good photos of as many species as possible. Even if it's just bugs and squirrels and stuff… I want to be able to organize it by class/order, in a way that's easy to keep track of the ratings in and nicer to look at than a wad of files on my desktop.

I'm... pretty sure Microsoft Access can do that (or at least I could manage to do it with Access after I fiddled around a bit and reminded myself how the hell the thing works), so you're probably looking for database software. More than that, I couldn't help you with, as I'm not terribly experienced with the stuff.

I just ran into this little thing that bugs me - I was fooling around with Adobe Photoshop CC, and I couldn't use clone stamp tool because whenever I tried to pick source area by holding alt and clicking on some place, it wouldn't do the trick. Am I doing it wrong? Maybe some function I could toggle earlier that would prevent me from using clone stamp properly?

What's the most-effective non-lethal way to ensure that Cats don't consume any Chickens?

[Rolan7]

Remove Chickens from Premises.

[Helgoland]

Break cat's legs.

What's the most-effective non-lethal way to ensure that Cats don't consume any Chickens?

Keep the cats indoors or completely enclose the chickens.

They might not attack the chickens but they'll go for the chicks for sure.  Maybe if you only have adult chickens at all times it might be ok...

[Yoink]

If you're having baby chickens, that probably means you have a rooster as well, and so even if your cat was brave enough to take on the chooks to try and steal their babies it's soon going to learn not to fuck with them.
Unless it's some sort of terrifying giant cat or a master of stealth, I don't know.

[TD1]

Or unless the rooster is a drunk fool up until the very crack of dawn, doing nothing important but waking the hard-working next door neighbours.

[Yoink]

That is pretty important, though. If they do enough work to be considered "hard-working", they're clearly doing too much work. Perhaps some interrupted sleep is just what they need to convince them to take a break the next day and relax!

So now my diet is rid  of fat and processed sugars and coffee has been replaced with water and green tea.I am gaining less energy from food and I get less stimulants, and I spend more due to jogging, but ammount of personal energy I have per day greatly increased, despite, well, decreasing input and increasing output.
Wtf? How can it even work this way? This is just weird.

[GiglameshDespair]

I'm considering practising worldbuilding+player interactions with a fairly simplistic FG&RP game. (I plan to maybe do a tabletop game with my RL friends, so a bit of practice would be good)

Should I give it a go that way, or is there another way to practice it that would be better?

It could work.
SGs tend to be less successful more often than not, though.

[Frumple]

@SC: Stimulants can actually make you feel tired (though note you haven't gotten rid of them, unless you're drinking decaf tea -- a cup of green tea usually has at least as much caffeine as a cup of coffee ), especially after a few hours, it takes energy to process fat and sugar* (also, neither of the two are particularly good for get-up-and-go energy, heh -- they're not terribly good for pep, despite what common narratives say about sugar), and if you're exercising and losing weight, you're carrying less around, on top of all the other good stuff a jogging regimen brings. Just to name a non-exhaustive list of what's going on, heh, as metabolism and whatnot is pretty complicated stuff. Basically you're doing most of what naturally increases personal energy, so... that's what's happening.

*Though I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you haven't really cut back too much on fats and sugars, heh. They actually tend to largely come from stuff that isn't immediately fat or sugar, hah.
