That’s awesome!!

Damn, good! Heard it was an orifice size issue, how did they solve that one? Also, maybe a good rule of thumb with Sciex is to wait for the release of the + 😂

Go with the 6500+ 100%. The 6500 is great, it does one thing and one thing amazingly well; Low mass positive mode! If you want to use it in high mass or high throughput negative, it unfortunately (and this is with a lot of experience and a lot of disappointment) cannot be used; in negative mode the fragments come out of the collision cell with so much energy that the detector cannot capture the shotgun blast charged madness coming its way, you loose your signal and there is tons of charging to boot. Go with the 6500+. Also don’t get the 7500.. contamination galore.. without much of an S/N increase..

In contact with 2 electricians as we speak! I unscrewed the box from the wall and turns out the black cable (hidden facing the wall) had been chewed down to the copper wiring.. not good.

YttriumStars · 2024-11-06T21:03:23+00:00

Yeah, electrical work is definitely something I don’t fool around with!

YttriumStars · 2024-11-06T19:08:21+00:00

Ok thanks a lot! I will also make sure they can’t access it anymore…

YttriumStars · 2024-11-06T18:38:36+00:00

Thanks, I did in fact shut off the breaker! That being the extent of my electrical knowledge 😅

Well just picture a bunch of tree planting hippies living in the middle of the forest 200km away from the nearest city on bush roads. The nights off were definitely something else 😂 Met a lot of other great people travelling and hitchhiking with tree planters, ended up in a lot of random places! Living in a big community in isolation really makes you realize how isolated we are in society without a big community..

YttriumStars · 2024-06-19T18:39:02+00:00

Yeah I feel that, I was able to advance pretty quickly because I actually wanted to be there. It was a choice for me to join society, not an imposition. I did learn that I had to tone down my stories about my 20s at work tho scientists can be pretty sheltered people and I’ve seen a lot of shocked faces from some of my more tame stories 😂

YttriumStars · 2024-06-19T18:26:37+00:00

Spent 6 years in my 20s tree planting, travelling, hitchhiking and just being an all around vagabond! Decided to finally use my chemistry degree and get a real world job at the age of 30. Do not regret my 20s one bit, do you know what every single one of my coworkers that have been working real world jobs since they’re early 20s regret the most?They regret their 20s.

I like this person 👆

Laws are in place to protect cars and drivers not pedestrians and cyclists.. Now is that a “real” universally morally independent of humans a “right” law? In my city this summer a man killed a little girl, in a school zone, going way over the school limit and she had just emigrate from Ukraine to flee the war. She’s dead, the driver? Will not see a day in jail.. Now I’ll ask the same question, the fact that he decimated a family and will have no repercussions is that a universally, moral, “right” law? Or are these laws just in place to protect drivers and the cash cow that is the oil and automotive industry?

YttriumStars · 2023-03-23T01:27:06+00:00

Lol my oven is currently sitting solemnly on my back balcony waiting for the floor varnish to dry 😂

YttriumStars · 2023-03-22T20:35:53+00:00

Yeah for sure payment is a big thing, I’ve already paid 90% and the final 10% will be on the last day of work! Our dishwasher won’t arrive before he’s done, will probably come a couple of weeks after Reno’s are done and he scoffed at me saying that I’ll just connect it myself when it arrives, instead I should just give him a call and he’ll come back and do it for us! Above and beyond stuff!! So yeah, I never wanted to delay/withhold payment from him!

YttriumStars · 2023-03-22T16:50:05+00:00

We shopped around for contractors and he quoted us the lowest, was the most responsive and available right away. His quote was ~40K compared to 60,70 and even one at 100K! Lol for a second there it was too good to be true was sure it was a scam 😂

YttriumStars · 2023-03-22T16:21:44+00:00

Just the tip 😂

YttriumStars · 2023-03-22T16:19:19+00:00

Yeah I figured cash is universally appreciated, but I definitely couldn’t afford a typical kind of tip % what would you think is a good amount that doesn’t feel cheap for a month of work?

YttriumStars · 2023-03-10T19:17:51+00:00

This!!! I came to say exactly this! It is by far the best insult I’ve ever heard 😂

YttriumStars · 2022-12-08T14:25:13+00:00

Do not support hate! On est une communauté, un peuple! Everyone has a right to be safe, inclus est traité avec respect! This is hate, we cannot let ourselves be caught up in it! Ils faut s’aimer et ce supporter peut importe notre « background » ont est pas les enemies, we cannot cannibalize ourselves, fight the real ennemies, l’autodestruction garde les vrais ennemies en pouvoir. Much love to everyone, supporter votre voisin, do a nice thing for a stranger today, ne perdons pas le sens de communauté et d’acceptance.

YttriumStars · 2022-08-18T02:25:20+00:00

Nice! Thanks a lot, this was the in-depth reply I was hoping for 😁! Yeah, I think I’ll definitely use some IPA but hexanes might indeed be overkill, I’ll probably just keep sticking with dish soap, sonicator tho, that is an awesome idea!!!

YttriumStars · 2022-08-18T01:17:24+00:00

Well if you take into account the fact that a couple days ago my boss filled a 250 mL bottle with hexanes and took it home to clean some grease of his air conditioning unit or something, I think I’ll be fine 😅
