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.

Good luck with my crappy code China

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.

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

I am so disappointed this is not real!

This is a really good point. The old phone is was a 'hand-me-down' gift from a parent to a child in another family.

The browser is too old to even run that!

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

Yep used 'power delete suite' to delete everything before I left.

If it is totally local, (and able to be disabled easily) then great.

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.
