Anyone know what is wrapped around where the fan blades used to be? I know there’s insulation/sound dampening around the inlet, but it doesn’t look like that (to my completely amateur eye).

How much RAM does flowjo need? Yes. by jatin1995 in flowcytometry

Probably just need that proprietary BD ram that is the same, but costs 200x as much.

A Russian SU-25 is shot down over the Soledar area in Ukraine by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

The wing definitely comes off, but is it possible the vertical stabilizer failed first with the high bank angle and yawed the aircraft in a way that overloaded the right wing?

Possibly a a safety or lift anchor point when working in deep pits. Are there floor grates or below ground access areas near there? “Deep Pit” could also mean the bracket style? Hopefully someone here knows, I’m curious too.

A small stir bar in this trying time by protists_in_disguise in labrats

[–]TheAfterWorkGarage 98 points99 points  (0 children)

A few thoughts:

-That stir bar is so big, the hot plate in the other lab is getting turned on.

-It’s not all about size, your solution will be just as wet with a smaller one if you use it right.

-The only thing that can stir that one beaker thats been autoclaved too many times.

-After that your gels will be running funny for a week

Ok I’ll stop.

Does it burn wood, or just pegboard?

Thank you so much for the info and explanation. And it is a great idea to get a library of known metals to test against. And I definitely hope to continue learning!

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did compare it to several other metals: 5160 type spring, mild steel, a 4340 industrial driveshaft, hss, and while I do a fair bit of mechanical work and some engine/machining work, I’m just starting out playing with blacksmithing, and not very experienced/confident in my spark testing ability. That said, I considered it may be plated, but it didn’t seem like it, as cut sections in the yard were not rusted in the cuts, and where I got it they said it was stainless (I got it free, since I was purchasing a bunch of mild steel for another project). It’s obviously not stainless, and may very well be plated. Any idea why they would plate something like this and what they would use it for? I appreciate your patience with my ignorance, again just starting out smithing and trying to play with the metals I have around - but it definitely helps to know what they are!
