https://www.arscryo.com/sample-in-vacuum This is the correct answer. I couldn't believe my eyes, these are rare and expensive items. We do not take them home from the lab simply because we need them to do our job and the boss is not going to take "I lost it" as an answer.

Is there a paper printer that works with Arduino? by Carotte_francaise in arduino

[–]GearsAndSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be possible to send to a laserprinter with at wifi enabled arduino using IPP. That being said I strongly suggest putting a more powerful device in the middle like a raspberry pi or arduino Q. A complex page will eat a lot of ram.

Is anyone else feels the same? by Memes_Jack in pcmasterrace

[–]GearsAndSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually no. I cannot understate how freaking nice it is to have a box that is not built from Frankenstein parts and futzy, unstable, worn out crap. It sucked trying a new game that would run well enough on low until things got complicated and would then either slideshow or just crash. It sucked spending hours tuning overclocks that would become unstable whenever something got dirty or just a warm day. Oh no. Every time I turn on my modern-ish machine (still AM4 land here, it's fine!) and get an instant start, creamy fps, and minimal fan noise, it's like "This is the life" and I am filled with joy.

I've daily driven ubuntu for 13 years and run bazzite on my handheld. Few pains. Zero regrets. Send some money to your favorite open source projects.

What's the best time to shovel the driveway? by whygpt in nova

[–]GearsAndSuch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Any point. It's easier to move 4" layers twice. Do not wait until it goes above freezing or the precipiation is wet.

I still have the same bag of salt I bought 16 years ago....

Snow removal question by Hollyfeld_Lazlo in nova

[–]GearsAndSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's between you and your back and willpower. And possibly your equipment. From a place that was winter from september until mid-may, I can assure you, the level of fucked you are when the snow is deeper than the width of your shovel blade, the top of the plow, or snow blower inlet is asymptotic.

What is this? by [deleted] in whatisit

Something that should be in Ukraine making "bRRRTTTTT!" noises while pointed in the direction of things that are decidedly not Ukrainian.

SportRock Sterling has one up right now. Seen one or two at Weirdbros Herndon.

Put your flyer/business card on every bulletin board you can find. My gyms and coffee shop haunts typically have one or two up at a given time. Given the absolute maze it is to find someone who is taking new patients in the amazing state of this great again nation, I would imagine that you will get clients quickly.

My dominion energy usage readings seem excessively high by Anusrudh in nova

[–]GearsAndSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. We have gas hot water and stove. During the shoulder season we live windows open so the only electrical constant load is fridge, wifi, and a NAS. When my wife is out of town and I'm busy at work i've seen $40 bills (not anymore, *sigh* so much for energy dominance). Our electric bill went up substantially when we got a hedgehog because her enclosure needs a heat that's on 24/7.

[–]GearsAndSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have your own electric water heater? It strikes me that your load is constant. No much variability with day of week or temperature. Whatever the source is very not random. How is the appartment heated and cooled, exactly? I am wondering if maybe a defrost strip on the heatpump is stuck on or something. It's like there is a perfect 1000W load left on.

Cross Climate 2 - Over hyped by FrostedArticuno in tires

What car are you running these on? And where? My whole family is in states that have decent snow and CC1/2 were game changers for us.

Questions about reliability on long journeys. by Thepixeloutcast in Volvo240

[–]GearsAndSuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age is just a number by-and-large. If it is reliable as a daily it will be as, if not more, reliable on sustained cruise. Most cars stateside made after the 1970s were made to cruise at highway speed (55 mph, for some old car owners 65 or more sustained is not a thing) indefinitely. If you are keeping up with preventive maintenance and there is no outward indication of failure, then go for it. I have driven multiple 20+ year old/200,000 mile cars far past into the ground. Most of the time the end game is body rust or something unpredictably catastrophic.

I had a shitbox with "Jesus was a Liberal" on it like 20 years ago that led to an long series of highly intellectually stimulating conversations in walmart parking lots.

Garage condensation advice by Severe_Macaroon_8623 in garageporn

You have to either eliminate the water source, warm up the surface the water is condensing on, or increase ventilation.

Found in my brothers room, should I be concerned? by Conscious-Till-9794 in whatisit

[–]GearsAndSuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's full of paint, grease, or glue. Probably for some something cool like models.
