“Bridge jumping challenge”

This is because the microscope blocks photons. OP should use a gamma camera or x-ray to see through the microscope body.

The dang old ESL filter makes it impossible to recognize bad English out in public. My wife got a shit that reads “force of the nature” and neither of our brains perceived the “the”

In Android, holding power and selecting “lockdown” locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you’re at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

One thing people forget is long distance fees. Cell phones basically did away with long distance fees, and we’re better for that. However, landlines have some notable benefits:

• self-powered, you could call in a power outage
• high fidelity, yeah it was bandpass filtered, but everything in that filter made it through
• freedom of usage, it was hard-fought but you could plug anything into your phone line, from more phones to answering machines to computer modems. There was a whole market around “dumb shit you plugged into your phone line” products

We’re still way better overall with cell phones, but something was lost to get them.

As the saying goes, “graphene can do anything except leave the lab”

Some version of this concept has floated (pun intended) around for a while. Thing is that plastics are an energy dense “food source” and once something evolves a way to metabolize it they’ll have a huge advantage.

It’s like how glyphosate tolerance has appeared in weed plants already. Evolution is always looking for an angle.

I have, and I actually got this fancy Japanese manual solder sucker with a silicone nib. It’s pretty fantastic for most things, but the analog stick is still stuck. I may try again some day, but I learned long ago that frustration and electronics projects don’t mix.

Oh jeez, the security nightmares I’ve seen here keep me up at night. You’re doing good work, fixing what you could from the inside of where you worked.

Researching plant genomes! Honestly, it’s a lot of fun.

I have one of these, and the analog stick started to get some drift. NBD, I thought, I’ll just pick up a new stick and swap it out.

Turns out, I’m rubbish at desoldering. So now I have a pile of parts until I get up the courage to try again.
