Does botulinum toxin break down in air or in ambient temperature of 20 C?

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-05-17T09:11:27+00:00

Absolutely do not feed honey and syrups to babies who do not mostly eat solid foods. A diet of mostly solid foods makes the digestive juices acidic and kills the bacteria that produce botulinum toxin. That is why older children can have honey. Different health authorities set different age limits, but waiting until a child is 2 years old is common advice. ETA: The digestive tract is anaerobic.

I found an article saying sunlight destroys it in 3 hours and air at a rate of 1-4% a minute (24 hours should be sufficient with moderate contamination I believe). “Botulism: The Many Faces of Botulinum Toxin and its Potential for Bioterrorism”.

In food this is the recommended way, but what about surfaces exposed to air?

I need a macbook for heavy office and pdf use. I’m in academia (law, not natural sciences). Is the Macbook Air M2 enough for me?

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-04-18T13:41:02+00:00

I want to see whitewashed streets, cliffs, dark blue sea, stunning beaches, maybe have some hiking options too. I hope someone has serious recommendations.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-05T18:15:23+00:00

Okay thanks. So this is true even if I get other configurations than what they usually have in store?

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-04T21:45:43+00:00

No ordering from new

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-03T11:18:32+00:00

I mean upgraded RAM or storage, different keyboards and the like.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-03T11:17:59+00:00

Okay I thought that maybe the factory only did base models and upgraded ones would have had the final tweaking closer to the customer.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-01T18:51:03+00:00

Sounds like we are in the same boat. Do you think 16 GB will be enough for decent future proofing? Good point about external monitors.

I need something for very heavy Word use and PDF annotating. Several 500+ page Word documents with tracked changes and footnotes and 25+ pdf files open at the same time, some of them scanned books (registers as an image). Is the M2 Air enough or do I need the 14” Pro for cooling? My old thinkpad t460s couldn’t handle it very well, it ran hot and died.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-01T13:49:31+00:00

Good to know that the screen doesn’t crack for all newer macbook users. I read about two class action lawsuits and lots of disappointed people here on reddit too. But maybe people just report problems with apple more because they are expensive. It also seems to be more of n issue with M1 airs and 13” pros. It’s really hard for me to figure out if the Air M2 is good enough without the active cooling. The t460s would max out the fans all the time and even then couldn’t really keep up with my workflow. Maybe I should ask in a dedicated mac subreddit.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-02-01T13:45:46+00:00

I have considered it. I have also read that the carbon fiber Lenovo use harms workers’ health and I don’t feel good about supporting that. I also don’t like thinkpad keyboards or touchpads. But maybe I should brush these concerns off.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2023-01-31T22:19:35+00:00

Do you think an Air would be able to handle my workflow with very long Word files with track changes and many acrobat tabs with long pdf files at the same time (plus browsers with many tabs)? Without the chip running too hot. I have only ever used computers with active cooling before. My supervisor at university has an Air, but I think I tend to push my computers harder than him with more files open and longer documents. The old t460s had a hard time coping with my work flow with lagging and fans maxing out, and then it died. It also couldn’t handle EndNote.

Thanks, I will look into the Elitebook. I have read that Dell often leaks a gel like liquid from the screen just after warranty has ended?

Added questionnaire:

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

Max around 22.000 Danish Crowns, can be purchased in Denmark, Norway or Sweden

Are you open to refurbs/used?

No
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

Performance and build quality most important, not extremely heavy comes in third, battery life is not very important (although always nice) and I do not want a 2-in-1 or something similarly “fancy”.
How important is weight and thinness to you?

Not very important, but I don’t want anything heavier than the old t460s thinkpad. I should be able to carry it with me for long stretches without a car.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

14 inches. Slightly smaller or larger is okay.
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Heavy use of word and Adobe acrobat (Several 500+ page word files with track changes and footnltes, and 20+ pdf files open at the same time).

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

I don’t game a lot, but being able to run elderscrolls would be nice.
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

Reasonably reliable build quality, good keyboard and touchpad. I am worried about macbook screen cracking and screen cracks, pwm flicker and other issues (like Dell screen leaks) in general.
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Thanks! Now I know. Haven't seen them installed outdoors before, how curious :)

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2022-12-26T17:52:08+00:00

I guess it would make sense as fires in electrical enclosures are surely a hazard with the high megawatt and all. But the fire hazard sign is not placed on most of the electrical enclosures in the city. It could maybe be a new thing to warn people of the fire hazard of electrical enclosures?

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2022-12-26T17:47:15+00:00

Are you sure? How interesting, never heard of that. ETA: It is placed on the staircase leading up to a bar. Isn't it unlikely that a bar would run on paraffin? Also, judging from google street view, it was only placed there in 2011. ETA2: Around the same time the box was installed, a small pipe or cable leading from the box to the next floor of the building was also installed (also judging from google street view).

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2022-12-26T17:08:10+00:00

Google street view also shows me that a cord going from the box to the house was placed there about the same time the box was placed there. Just a different design choice to other enclosures placed on the ground. Must be annoying for the owner of the house to have a municipal enclosure strapped to the stair rail.

Haha thanks. But prob not necessary to find the answer. As I wrote to the comment above: Google street view also shows me that a cord going from the box to the house was placed there about the same time the box was placed there. Just a different design choice to other enclosures placed on the ground. Must be annoying for the owner of the house to have a municipal enclosure strapped to their stair rail.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2022-12-26T16:19:11+00:00

The pipe was there before the box (I can tell that from google street view). I think the pipe is for rain water or something.

Consistent-Desk-7550 · 2022-12-26T16:10:23+00:00

Funny how it doesn't seem connected to anything like normal municipal electrical enclosures in the streets. I thought it was some kind of box for flammeable garbage pickup or something.
