CSIRO hastening the trend in culture by explicitly making us a nation of fart huffers.
she's living up to the paramedic tradition of being completely awesome and down to earth.
The sluiced fragments (some of) hairtie for scale.
Not practical, but I want a tiny 3d printed chest of gem rough so for now I'm collecting it all.
Uh tiny fragments of zircon and saph I haven't sorted yet. A single flec of gold and a metric tonne of magnetite.
Gonna dry the cons and strip out the magnetite and look for more gold, it's not an area where you expect it though. This was the sand from classifying a few buckets for sapphire. Photo of sieve finds attached, the sluice found similar stuff but smaller.
There's uselessly tiny gem fragments in them thar ancient alluvial gravel beds.
Model is bought from: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/gold-sluice-box-v2-modular-expandible-included-4-mats-classifier although easy enough to design yourself. It works great though and the price is fair if you do want one.
Sluice body is petg, mats are tpu as I thought it would make cleaning easier. TBH petg would probably be a better candidate as long as you did a high contrast material. The flex doesn't add much as it's short sections that fit in a pan anyway.
well it's all reprap although prusa'a i3 design has been the foundation of bedslingers since it. I was there when the old magic was written and we were trying to find ways to print wires for motors haha.
you don't often have a car driving through your bedroom or whatever. I'm not saying you should put as much effort into filtering the exhaust from a 3d printer chamber as nation states should to removing car dependence. I'm saying if you're spending 300 euros on a printer spend 10 on cleaning it's pollutants.
Or not, take whatever risks you like it's your body.
Pretty much, also I'm pretty sure prusa are still all open hardware so you can do your own thing if you enjoy suffering.
I will say you should probably not run a fdm machine in the same room as you without filtration. I would recommend enclosing them for myriad reasons, and in the enclosure run a fan that forces air through a filter and activated carbon. No reason to increase exposure to VOCs and microplastics.
If you get a fdm that can dual material fiddly prints become a lot easier as you can use a support material you can dissolve off. That starts getting expensive.
Also consider material running cost. Resin is expensive (but minis don't use much), plastic is cheaper but not that much cheaper buying quality, adding in supports, and dealing with failed prints.
cloudflare uses a wall of lavalamps because it's a fun project that looks cool and gets free advertising.
There are so many sources of noise, lavalamps are probably one of the most expensive in set up and running costs.
It's a pretty cool wall though, hence the free advertising.
I'm not actually sure what the mechanism behind the patches is. Whether they are microneedle or if they use an oily adhesive that modifies skin permiability.
I will note it is extremely slow, like it takes hours to reach steady state slow.
Again, if you are capable of aerasolising a substance such that you can reliably coat someone in it, and you are willing to break chemical weapons treaties, and you love warcrimes you can just use something more effective.
It is absolutely trivial to block the action of an opiate, they're just not effective indiscriminate murder drugs.
wtf? This isn't real. Fent, despite the cop panic, doesn't cross the skin. If you're already shooting it into someone or aerasolising it you can just use more effective things like nerve agents. You're breaking the same treaties and doing the same warcrimes either way.
As an outsider who enjoys parts of hexbear I just want to say that while obviously there is criticism to be made based on the user reaction it was something that I thought came from a good place and didn't really warrant a lot of the backlash. Evidently my views aren't the majority hexbear userbase ones but basically I just want to say that moderating and administrating is awful and largely thankless and that there are people who see this and feel empathy for the mods and admins trying to create a positive culture.
Without litigating terminology it is true that there are not like single receptor effects, or that there is a potentially fatal rebound. However it does mess with homeostasis in ways that can make it difficult to stop. Sudden cessation can cause difficult sleeping, anxiety, nightmares, appetite suppression, restlessness, and low mood. It's relatively easy to deal with compared to stuff that messes with gaba, opiod receptors, or dopamine but it's still much harder than changing what you eat or whatever.

Yo Aussie vegans. The implication is pretty clear :( [plus bonus on aussie palm oil labeling standards or lack thereof]

I've sent them an email to ask for clarity and will update with their response.
Having a read of the food labeling standards (https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/food-standards-code/legislation) 1.2.2, 2.4, and schedule 10-2 any edible oil is only required to be identified as follows:
(a) The statement of ingredients must declare:
(i) whether the source is animal or vegetable; and
if the food is a dairy product, including ice cream—the specific source of animal fats or oils.
(b) This generic name must not be used for >diacylglycerol oil.
As such it turns out anything labelled as vegetable oil could contain palm oil, which is relatively likely given it's ~36% of global oil trade and the number 1 producer. https://ourworldindata.org/palm-oil
So I recommend that unless you have specific knowledge, if anything has a thick texture at room temp and claims not to be hydrogenated you should assume it is palm oil. Especially if it's quite low in saturated and polyunsaturated fats which is a bit of a coconut oil tell.
RIP to a delicious one.

nutlex responds: Thank you for contacting us here at Nuttelex and sorry for the late reply as we have been experiencing a glitch with our website.
As a family-owned business, we value your interest in our products.
The main ingredient in our Nuttelex products is premium GMO-free plant oils and depending on the variant (as denoted by the packaging) that can include a combination of Sunflower, Canola, Coconut, and Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.
To manufacture our product the basic steps are as follows: The pure plant oils are warmed to around 40 degrees Celsius, then mixed together with brine (a water and salt mixture) and a very small amount of vitamins, natural flavour and vegetable oil based emulsifier. The total mixture is then rapidly cooled and packed into the tubs that you buy at the supermarket.
With 70% less saturated fat than butter and 50% less salt than regular spreads we work very hard to maintain the integrity of our products and we do pay more for ingredients to ensure we produce a premium product.
There are only a few oils that can be used to make our spreads. Oils like Olive, Coconut and Avocado cannot be used in very high quantities without the addition of binding agents, preservatives, and additives — and we choose not to use these types of ingredients at Nuttelex.
So instead, each Nuttelex variant uses a different combination of GM free vegetable oils, as reflected in the name or image on the product.
In Nuttelex Buttery, the oils used are GM free Australian Canola Oil and certified sustainable palm fruit oil.
In Nuttelex Olive, for example, the oils used are Australian GM Olive Oil, Australian GM free Canola Oil (which adds to the texture & taste) and certified sustainable palm fruit oil (to make the product spreadable). Without the addition of these two ingredients, our spread would remain a liquid as we do not use saturated animal fats, milk solids, soy solids or anything artificial. As we make this blend up ourselves, in line with labelling regulations we must declare it as “vegetable oil” on the label. Unfortunately, we cannot share the oil percentages as it is priority company information as that would reveal our recipe.
In Nuttelex Original, the oils used are GM free Sunflower oil, Australian Canola Oil (which adds to the texture & taste) and certified
sustainable palm fruit oil (to make the product spreadable).
Although we keep up to date with advances in food technology, as yet there are no other oils that we are aware of that will meet our special needs: virtually trans-fat free, GM free, vegan, and free from a wide variety of allergens including gluten, corn, soy, wheat, nut oils and dairy.
Food technology is not perhaps as advanced as you may think, and to make a natural table spread there are not many oils that can be used. As Nuttelex is not only allergy friendly but free of preservatives and additives. Olive oil too can only be used up to 24% (and that goes for every Olive spread in the market) or the spread will not set, while other oils such as coconut are unstable on their own and do not mix with other oils unless extra processing and additives are used. However, when food technology catches up to enable us to use different oils, greater quantities, without having to also use additives, preservatives, or other processes we deem undesirable, you can be assured Nuttelex will be there to deliver it.
At Nuttelex we know where our ingredients are grown, how they are processed, and we stand by their purity and nutritional value. We have built our business on continually pushing the envelope of what is possible when it comes to creating healthy plant-based foods.
Nuttelex strongly supports sustainable farming and preventing damaging practices. We purchase our vegetable oils from only Australian Members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). And we are also Members of the RSPO as it is the growers and manufacturers who together need to make a sustainable future by certifying that members commit to certain standards of production. (We are registered on the RSPO website where you can see our certificates of what we purchase). We also pay a premium for our sustainable palm oil because we believe that is the responsible approach.
The Healthy Alternative is not just a slogan – it’s been part of our DNA at Nuttelex since our early beginnings. From refusing to add bright colouring to our products in the 1930s (an act of the dairy lobby to distinguish it from butter) to pioneering the use of vitamins in the 1940s, at Nuttelex we have always welcomed new possibilities. Continuing this tradition with the first salt-reduced, cholesterol-free & dairy-free alternative to be sold nationally in the 80’s, to removing all GM ingredients from our spreads in the noughties and more recently, with the introduction of the very first Australian-made palm oil-free spread - Nuttelex Zero.
Hope this information is of help,

I agree, part of keeping trust in collective health measures is trusting people when they say they are hurt by them and trying to help.
These people did a prosocial and sensible thing, they got hurt in freak accidents, they deserve respect and compassion.
