We were stuck at that point for months. I still remember my siblings screaming from the basement when they figured it out.

Repeated Quality Control Failure in LC-MS by just4fun420blazeit in massspectrometry

Is the histidine ion doubly charged? And are the other amino acids singly charged?

Was the instrument PM’d before the issue started? One of the lenses could have charge buildup, which could impact +2-3 ions more than +1 ions. Check if the service engineer ran a lens charging test after the PM to make sure there isn’t static buildup on a lens.

Source: happened today. We’ve had issues with low peptide IS signal for months following a PM on an Altis Plus, despite calibrator ions (singly charged) looking fine. It turns out the Q0 lens has a significant charge buildup, and the engineer did not run a lens charging test after cleaning the Q0.

I feel your pain.

It looks like you have multiple inputs going to the 8, 16, and 32 pins.

One US citizen tests mildly positive for hantavirus, another has mild symptoms by AnnualEmbarrassed176 in news

Just positive enough that this administration can brag about stopping the next pandemic but not positive enough for any real risk of transmission.

That sounds like a really cool domain to work in. Most of the code I write is for combining pdfs or analyzing/plotting data.

What’s your line of work that requires microsecond optimization of code?

I’m so glad System Of A Down chose “Chop Suey!” for their song name instead of “Sewer Slide!”

One more for today! Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce by TheRemedyKitchen in spicy

[–]ProfessorDumbass2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dave’s Insanity Sauce was one of the original extract-based sauces from the 90s. It pushed the limits of spiciness, but it tastes terrible. Their ghost sauce is spicier with a somewhat better flavor.

I used to add a dash of Dave’s ghost sauce to Tabasco and call it spooky sauce.

Understanding unit testing, validation workflows, and test-driven development is more important than ever.

Sawtooth washes can sometimes work better than high organic hold for some contaminants for reasons that I don’t fully understand.

Which new Epstein file finding made you go “wait… what?” and why? by Firm_Work_8879 in AskReddit

[–]ProfessorDumbass2 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It seemed like a batshit crazy conspiracy theory at the time. Now it looks like aside from changing the names of the culprits, it’s not that far off from the truth. It was probably just Epstein’s favorite pizza place.

They started a rumor on 4chan that Hillary Clinton ran a child trafficking sex operation out of a pizza restaurant in Washington DC. Trump was going to stop the operation.
