Sodium chloride also grows cubes but hard to make perfect and large.

Sodium chloride will grow cubes but probably not trivial to get big ones.

GCMS is neat, we have a really nice one at work but don't use it to reverse engineer soft drinks. Although, if we had a bit more time we probably could.

Basically you just ignore the hyped up press releases, this just accompanies most semi-cool/exciting papers. The scientists probably know this isn't going to be some new storage that will become widespread but its just part of the

I liked the Startac and Razr formfactor.

Eastern WA is mostly open sagebrush (or farms) they were just in the wrong part of it. Source: lived there.

Around the same time I set up an old pentium 80 that booted linux off a floppy to be a router. It ran for a few years later until Linksys wifi routers got cheaper.

I also really like standard size clear boxes. I buy cases of smaller ones for my lab at work. They all get used up quick.

My first router used the Freesco project ( https://www.freesco.org/ ) it had 2 pci network cards in an old pentium 80 that booted linux off a floppy, probably around 1999.

No substrate in the sampler means there would be nothing to test. Can't tell if you are joking.

People also don't develop good habits and constantly touch their face with gloves. I worked with surgeons in the hospital and they would point this out. Equally important in a cleanroom.

The stearates aren't microplastics, they aren't polymers, but they have chemical/spectroscopic similarity that results in them confusing the microplastics assays.

That does seem like an oversight. We routinely run process blanks for elemental analysis at my job. I guess if the metal substrates had specifications on no particles you might skip this, obviously a big mistake if another step (ie. handlin

I guess with Raman I can see this being misidentified but I do testing with FTIR at my job, although not often for microplastics and we often detect olefins and stearates and they don't seem to get confused. I didn't realize there

I have a semi-decent Lenovo Thinkpad T14 and its still meh. Prefer my M4 air.

by s0rce 7mo ago
My M4 Air was $750 on black friday 2025. I bought it after I cracked the screen on my M1 and the cost to repair was half the cost of the much newer computer.

Its slightly worse in my opinion but I don't have huge issues with it. Still way better than Windows 11 on my work computer.

You could use a reflective long focal length lens and then everything would be in focus.

I set up an old instrument in the lab and the computer is running Windows 7 and it feels better than the newer machines running 11.

I guess if a single cavity mold costs $30,000 and a 16 cavity mold costs $110,000 you have an additional expense of ~$80,000, divided over half million parts is 16 cents. So lets say somewhere from 5-10cents per part to go 16x faster. My nu

I liked my old magnesium Thinkpad T41p but it was a different aesthetic.

Then Windows 11 came along to slow everything down and we are back to the stoneage.

Won't the effective index of all materials be basically 1 for the high energy electrons involved here?

I also moved from Kodi to Jellyfin. I have an ubuntu machine as the server and an Nvidia shield with Android connected to the TV as a client. Works great and was much simpler to keep working right than Kodi. Although Kodi didn't need a

There is an annual citrus festival in Riverside, CA where many hybrids are developed.

by s0rce 7mo ago
I think the etrog is not a hybrid so it would overlap with the citron

by s0rce 7mo ago
they discuss that, they were not hybridized to the same extent. They do discuss the key lime ancestry as orthogonal, it would be cool to use a tetrahedron instead to show that.

My M1 was the biggest upgrade of many years, I got one from an old job and returned it when I left, it was possibly the most "fast" feeling computer since going from Win98 to 2000. I ended up buying one for my personal computer, I
