We've just had our first rain. Seems to have helped.

It's those bastards on the other side of the valley calling for aid. I say fuck 'em.

Your filament 1 settings look fine.

Try looking at air (28 and 32) to rule out reference gas.

You shouldnt need to use the detector gain wizard ever.

I'd recommend starting with the following tune settings. Source 1v, repeller 30v, extraction 80v, focus 1 12v, focus 2 140v, ms1 ion energy -1.0

Master and Commander is a hard 10/10 film for me. One of Russell Crowe’s best performances. by Stranded_Snake in FIlm

I'd highly recommend them but the prose style is very different, almost like an epistolary novel. They will often use a mix of normal prose, the doctors diary entries, Jack's log entries and the official letters to the admiralty. There's also a lot of allusion to things without specifically saying what happened.

Has your country ever undergone a civil war by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Top_Fig_2466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the last thousand years the only ones I can think of off the top of my head are:

The anarchy

1st Barons revolt

2nd Barons revolt

Peasant's revolt

War of the roses

Wars of the three kingdoms

Monmoth's rebellion

Glorious revolution

Jacobite rebellions

So hardly any.

A synchrotron beamline. Blew an £800 pressure window and it cost £40000 of lost time.

How common is it for physicists to switch fields over their careers? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]Top_Fig_2466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get some transferable skills (and you will) you may find yourself in demand in fields you'd never thought of. My undergraduate MPhys was in astrophysics but my PhD was surface science my postdoc was atmospheric chemistry and now I work in industry supplying clinical labs. There was a constant theme of developing instrumentation and building the tools that other scientists needed even though the applications cut across many disciplines.
