looks like Synchron is mostly amino acids and Siberio is decanol alkoxylate at least that is what they release publicly. alcohol alkoxylates are not too great for frogs: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11504342/

I worked in the kiwifruit industry for a while, this is great news as it was considered very likely Hi-Cane (hydrogen cyanamide) would be banned both in NZ and by importing nations.

Yes, but there are less competent people. The main answer for any slightly complex issue at work is ‘reimage’ - the pancea to solve all problems. And reconfig of personal settings is the users problem.

It is possible to edit a folder name in windows drivers. But for IT departments that could be more work than a reimage

So after traveling this week, yes I had to take out the laptop leaving Auckland, but leaving Christchurch they wanted laptops in your bag and had signs up to that effect.

Weird. I had my laptop out and the AvSec lady said “ you don’t need to do that anymore “

The three cities that I fly though a lot ( Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch) always have full screening to each other. No screening flying to regional airports though.

Sigh… no it was user error. I happened to click the spoiler tags on a place were there were sequential bar charts (I was expecting pie/bar) so the bar chart ‘not hiding’ was actually just the next one in the sequence appearing.

Thanks this is an interesting read. Probably unsurprising the strong technical job bias and the demographics that goes along with that.

The spoiler tag hides the text of the bar graph but not the actual image!

Thanks for the real story. What an idiot.

The hash tag just adds the community name:

“The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.”

Not really putting words in your mouth.

Yes it was a jarring point in an otherwise great episode. But I still think it was still a Riker approach to the problem. Worf would never accepted the proposal and (gently) knocked out Lanel and then rushed the single guard at the door.

Yep 5m of sea level rise is basically locked in to happen

If i have the settigns right these should be the top charting NZ songs of 2023: https://nztop40.co.nz/chart/nzsingles?chart=5732

No problem, The gas phase avoids nitrogen liquid infiltration into our storage straws that could be imperfectly heat sealed. If only a tiny amount gets in this expands 700 times in volume to the gas phase when warmed up causing the straws to pop.

The key glass transition temperature is that of the samples, there will inevitably be some warming as the tanks are used and sample racks removed, but so long as the samples don’t warm more than -130°C they won’t experience any structural changes.

OFAF just saves liquid nitrogen, quite a lot is lost cooling down the pipes when doing a fill, so may as well fill all of the tanks while the supply pipe is cold.

I think there is an issue with Tank 1, perhaps the insulation is not as good as the other tanks. I am monitoring to make sure it does not get worse over time.

The article says: “Currently there is no indication that it was due to outside influence but the police report was done to cover all bases.”

This is odd. I run a similar but smaller facility in New Zealand (3 tanks). If the nitrogen supply fails we have about 18-20 days worth left in the tanks before they run dry. Even then I had a staff member checking every couple of days over Christmas anyway. I wrote an R script to analyse data from the tanks https://rhizobia.nz/r/N2-tanks.html to get a good idea of usage.

Just strange to me that a much more well funded organisation didn’t do better.

There are a lot of fungi that might be the genus “P.”! This is Puccinia monoica a rust fungus.

Yes! Very good. Ian M Banks

This is amazing, going on my office door.
