Pressurized cylinder?

Good recommendation, you got me hooked!

I’m curious about the scalability of this method, but it’s a bit outside my experience. Seems like it would take a lot of energy to implement?

Omg, the blue sky comments made me want to hurl. All this over a filibuster to stop nothing? Couldn’t have pulled this shit when it actually would do something, I guess.

They still dump a lot of money into denying the genocide of Armenians. It’s only ideologically consistent to support other settler colonial projects.

How am I supposed to identify all the unmarked containers of clear liquids if not by smell? You want me to drink them now??

When you said glove boxes, I was thinking about all the times I hit my head on the glove boxes and Kim wipe boxes that were mounted to the front of our hoods above the sashes.

You probably meant actual glove boxes, but it reminded me the corners of our glove box holders fucking hurt to bump your head into and I should move them someday.

It’s not clear that this affected the decision to drop the bombs let alone the sole reasoning. Frankly, there was little justifiable strategic argument for use of them at that point in the war aside from as a form of intimidation against the Soviet Union. More likely the US would have dropped the bombs regardless and it was used as a justification after the fact: “the Japanese were barbaric, so this justifies our barbarism!”

And Snatch

That very much sounds like a moment for self-reflection.

Therefore they can continue to extract more from people than before. When you default, the amount owed increases significantly (doubles?).

This means more people are stuck with high payments and are required to work to continue to survive, less people getting retirement or other benefits, a larger workforce that is essentially captive to their debt and can be more easily manipulated because they are worried about making ends meet more than other things.

I see plenty of benefits for capitalists in a wide variety of industries if more people are beholden to more student debt.

That’s hilarious!

True story or joke?

One major oversight of this article that I wish they’d included is that this type of animal research is not constrained to academic institutions, there are private companies doing the same thing.

While I don’t think ethics committees in academic institutions pose any meaningful opposition to planned animal studies outside of whether it will threaten their funding, the oversight in most private institutions is worse and the implications of “mistakes” in their studies are lower. It’s just a hit to their finances, there is little to no threat of a company losing their ability to continue animal research.

Otherwise, they did a good job of shedding light on the issue, particularly in calling out how groups are lucky to get any NIH funding if they don’t include animal research (also, good luck getting publications).

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Let the lions inside.

There are entire industries that profit from people being imprisoned. The more people incarcerated in a location, the more that location can charge.

All other things aside, there is very much a profit motive.

Pour it in a proper waste container with a label and hand it over to EHS if in a lab. If not, do what another commenter said and let small amounts evaporate in a well-ventilated place.

Large volumes are something you should contact local waste disposal about. This usually isn’t free, but sometimes they have certain times of year they’ll take them for free. Large volumes are ~ >1L.

Our hoods have a solvent trap at the front in case of large spills, it’s a stainless steel grate covering a large, high surface area secondary steel trap below. Ngl, I pour smaller amounts of pure volatiles in there to evaporate. Usually < 10 mL. Small volumes with dissolved solids get dumped in the glass waste container in the hood to evaporate before disposal too.

Not the best practice, but the pragmatic approach.

Larger volumes go to proper waste containers. Local EHS mostly just dilutes things before pouring it down the drain. Not much we can do about that, so I opt for greener solvents from the beginning wherever possible.

I’m running arch on mine.

Ah, that’s probably why you like it. I’m talking about a Win 11 machine managed by our institution. I’m sure if I could get away from how we have Win 11 setup, I probably would only complain about the power location and the weight, but those are very minor.

You really like them? I got issued one for work and am not a fan.

The power button on these things is in the least intuitive spot and I’ve had lots of weird driver issues causing hardware to fail intermittently. Specs look good on paper, but the experience has been really lacking. The moment I can swap, I think I will.
