technology@hexbear.net•NASA Staff Horrified at Plan to Throw Out Incredibly Specialized Science Equipment Like GarbageEnglish
24·9 hours agoI have an entire plant tissue culture lab that I’ve paid basically nothing for from government auctions. Incredibly expensive stuff but almost nobody bids on it. I’m basically out of room for more stuff but some of it doesn’t get bid on and ends up in the garbage. Like a pallet of lab stuff for $10 w/ 0 bids.

4·3 days agoIt’s hard to kill a plant that has good drainage. Terracotta pots (if in containers) and well draining soil that goes deep enough. Plastic and concrete pots are killers for the occasional gardener.
You can measure ph cheaply by boiling red cabbage and using the juice as it’s a sensitive ph indicator in the plant range. I use it a lot b/c commercial ph meters suck sometimes.
If you’re worried about salt or whatever bad nutrients, just flush it with water and then add a very light nutrient solution (1/4th strength of a 20/20/20 or whatever).
For water, any filtering is better than none. But that usually advice for people who want perfect plants.

4·4 days agoThey’re great for lots of things like mobility exercises and reducing load for things like pull-ups. But they’re difficult to train with because they lack stability and have variable resistance which can make proper form really hard.
If you’re low on budget and tight on space, body weight exercises are all you need to get incredibly strong.

4·5 days agoAs soon as you enter you’ll be asked for a goal to be completed in the next hour. You’ll then be greeted by an exit door where you’ll enter a completely lifelike simulation of your entire life where you’ll be free to do anything you want. The simulation ends when you accomplish your goal. However, there is a 1 in a billion chance it’ll be the real exit door.

7·8 days agoI would start by documenting the schemas (data types and optional fields). Then use shell scripts to transform or join any data to be ingested to another system. Not sure what you’re working with so it’s hard to give any more concrete advice.

11·19 days agoBeen doing pushups every day as a substitute for drinking alcohol and after just a handful of weeks I exceed the police and ice pushup requirements. I’m pushing 40 but progress was insanely fast, I could add 2-5 extra pushups a week, and I’m noticeably stronger. When I started I could barely do 10 reps and I just spammed reps all day long, shooting for 100 reps a day (with plenty of rest days). Now I can do 100 reps in less than 4 sets so I’ve been moving on to harder variations and getting more into calisthenics. Any tips are welcome.

35·24 days agoMinimum wage is an example of a price floor. We already have price floors on a range of ag commodities. What happens in practice is that the government will limit imports and agree to buy those products at the price floor if the market price ends up being lower. This is one reason why we saw massive milk dumping during the pandemic. Instead of culling cows during a market shock, price floors kept supply up when demand was down. If this happens we will probably see food waste like we’ve never seen before while food gets more expensive.
