this was such an unhinged rant

I’ll always updoot breaking benjamin

I’ve heard its pretty rough. Like, 35-40 year olds on ECMO rough.

I’m just wrapping up school for med lab and had the same experience, it consumed every waking second of my life for 2 years, can’t wait to be free!

That sounds like a pretty cool job!

Thats how I feel haha! I went to school for med lab so they teach us all about fun toys for histo, micro, heme, chem, and transfusion. Theres some really cool stuff out there!

My favourite magic box is the MALDI. Matrix Assisted Lazer Desorption Ionizer. You mix matrix with bacteria from culture on a slide. The machine fires a lazer at the slide and breaks it into ions (charged particles). They’re sucked up into a tube that measures mass/charge ratio by seeing how long it takes those particles to travel down a tube before they hit a detector (its mass spectrometry/time of flight). The signal it makes generates a fingerprint that is compared to a database… and it tells you exactly what bacteria you’ve isolated based on those fingerprints! Its the greatest invention known to man!

Ya I’ve got a hybrid and I’ve noticed a drop in battery usage under 0C. Its not huge but efficiency went from 4.6ish L/100km to around 5.5-6. Still pretty good but noticeable.

I’m in health sciences and I wish we would do more education days/conferences. I’m a med lab tech and I feel like no one knows what the lab actually does, they just send samples off and the magic lab gremlins Divine these numbers/results. I feel the same way when another discipline discusses what they do, its always interesting!

Thanks for the explanation, thats pretty cool! I drive a hybrid and love it, I can get between 4.6-6.0 L/100km depending on the season. It flip flops between EV and engine modes, I can go well over 800 km on a tank. That system is fascinating.

whats the difference between this and a hybrid? I’ve never heard of a range extender but i can assume it… extends range.

I used to LOVE summer but its just way too hot now.

everything is banana at the self checkout

when life gives you lemons, make orange juice.

Honestly I don’t blame them, I fall into the not giving a shit about sports or fashion camp too. My inner boomer comes out when I’m forced to use microsoft products so I’m definitely a hypocrite but at least I’ll put a little effort into trying to get a surface level of understanding.

Also I’ve noticed a total lack of curiosity or willingness to learn how to use these products. It takes a little brain power sometimes.
