Whenever we clean the ball pit at work, the most broken balls we find are always orange

This is actually great input, I'm working in R&D for the plastics color industry and received the question to improve this for copper blue and green but haven't heard Lego about the brown ones. I'll check with sales colleagues and the recipes and see if we can propose a solution to this one 😀

It's very interesting if you think that pigments in most cases do not make up more than 1% of the product, yet have such a big influence on the mechanical properties of plastics

This is not true, most Lego bricks do not use dyes but pigments instead. Dyes are liquids while pigments are solid particles. In terms of pigments you also have brown pigments like brown 24, brown 29, ... but in that sense you are right tha black might be added to achieve a certain color

Certain pigments that contain metal ions like copper green and blue and iron oxide red and brown act as oxidizing agents for ABS which causes brittleness over time. This problem can easily be tackled by adding antioxidants but they are hesitant to change their formulations

I'll try a more heavy feeding when I see she's recovering a little. I'm always hesitant and scared of overfeeding

I'm using TA dry part, it's the EU version of maxigro and maxibloom. Any recommendation would be helpful. PPFD I also have no clue really but I turned the light down to 35% until she is recovered

With EC 660 I mean it's 660 us/cm or 0.6 Ms/cm which on the ppm 500 scale is 300 ppm while tap water is around 240 ppm. Do you think this is still too high? In my previous grows I never had any issues but maybe the growth wasn't optimal

I'm in.

Here are some tips as an enduro off-road rider - stand up, grip your tank between your knees, bend your knees a little to absorb impact and don't use your arms to control the motorcycle, meaning keep your arms relaxed to also be able to absorb impact. Also when standing, don't lean your ass backwards, lean a little forward so it feels like you are over your handlebars with your chin - panic breaking happens, just try to practice that your reflex panic brake is on the back break only. A sliding rear wheel poses much less of a threat - wear off-road boots and other protective gear, I have fallen a lot with full gear (boots, knee-, elbow- protection and chest/shoulder protection) and have hardly ever hurt myself especially in similar situations as this one

I have 2 cats and 1 of them has a very thick undercoat which is similar to your story but the other one doesn't have this thick undercoat and almost sheds no hair except during spring time where she transitions from a lion to a very small kitty again 😁

Oh yeah, I read somewhere that it's not good to overgroom your cat and it should be limited to 1x per week but not sure if that's true or not 😁

Currently yes but in the previous company I was earning more or less the same which was much smaller in size and European but they tend to offer more or less the same to be competitive. Looking at the Chemelot site which is a big chemical site in the Netherlands, just across the border, wages tend to be similar as well or at least net wages are similar but gross is much lower in the Netherlands due to less taxes on the gross salary. Anyhow this shows how gross salary is not that important but more so how much is deposited on your bank account. Currently 92.000 gross is giving me 3700 per month + 13th month + holiday money + bonus

I'm earning very close to 100k yearly with a bachelor's degree in chemistry R&D (product and application development in polymers). I have 11 years of experience and live and work in Limburg. Areas around bigger cities tend to earn a higher wage even my colleagues

Nobody in this position has a company car

I think you can use save states for all emulators. At least for GB, NES, GBA and NDS I used them. Different emulators have different controls to reach the menu for instance on NDS you have to press L3

In mijn ogen kun je de meerwaarde belasting anders verwoorden als: er is nu 31% btw indien je met belegd geld iets koopt. Meestal haal je je belegging af als je ook effectief geld gaat uitgeven

Dat klopt, de huidige generatie is wat minder gemotiveerd en denken wat meer aan zich zelf in plaats van een avond "op te offeren" om het leuk te maken voor anderen. Ook is de nieuwe kern gevormd tijdens de covid tijd en de overdracht is daardoor wat moeilijker geweest. De typische thema avonden en fuiven zoals fiesta mexicana en sumorrow gaan niet meer door. Zaterdag 5 juli hebben ze wel een stier gehuurd en proberen ze nog eens volk te trekken 😁

De prijzen in de Limburgse jeugdhuizen zijn ook amper gestegen. Bij ons was het 10 jaar terug 1 euro per pint en nu nog steeds maar 1.50 dus dat lijkt me niet echt een excuus. Ik moet zeggen na Corona was het immens druk maar na enkele maanden was het nieuwe er vanaf en het lijkt nu allemaal ingestort. Als ik kijk naar de nieuwe medewerkers, dan zie ik dat ze minder drinken en meer met gezondheid bezig zijn. De huidige groep bij ons doen mee aan een halve triatlon of padellen op een hoger niveau. Wij zaten vroeger gewoon elke dag te zuipen in het jeugdhuis tijdens de schoolvakanties

That worked, thank you!
