Hypodermic needle with red blood cells under an electron microscope
Reply in thread
I'm assuming if the syringe was wet before being placed in the microscope, the vacuum of the chamber would cause most of the water in the plasma to vaporize. The remaining salts and compounds would be much smaller than the red blood cells. The density of the red blood cells would be much larger than any remaining plasma, so the bulk of your backscattered electrons will be coming from the cells and needle, making the plasma essentially transparent. This is a fairly low magnification image for SEM, but that's how you get such fantastic depth of field.

Please for the love of God let me read my book in peace
I felt like I had to interrupt my wife's reading to show her this just because I knew she would understand. I recognize I am the problem here.

Alright, so I thought I had to click through to see the sale, but it's just a giveaway. I guess I have a lot of NSFW games in my library now. Yay?

What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?
I really enjoyed Space Station Silicon Valley for the N64. It turns out there was a bug in the original game so you could never complete it 100%. A couple years ago, I purchased an Everdrive (https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/ed64x7.html) so I could patch the ROM and play on original hardware. Pair this with some new wireless controllers and it's the perfect experience.

[ANSWERED] Should i use KeePass* instead of Proton Pass, for privacy?
I use KeepassXC on my computer and Keepass2Android on my phone. Passkeys work fine and are synchronized across my Synology.

Have a low flush toilet that doesn't flush much? Keep a container nearby, fill it up with water, and pour it in the bowl as you flush.
Are you sure you just don't have the water level in the tank set right?

When I found out they had lead last year, I went to work with the cup to confirm. This is a handheld XRF, which depends on the specific spacing of electrons in atoms to determine the identity. Not much to it other than point and shoot! (with shielding)

TIL "quart" is short for "quarter gallon"
And cup is short for "cup of a gallon".

Does she have a name? What do you call her?
No name, but for the longest time, I thought she was a man with a big mustache.

Does a temporary employee qualify to enroll in health insurance immediately upon becoming full-time?

This is definitely a question for HR, but generally an employment change is a "life event".

This is a Thermo handheld XRF. I wasn't working at this place when it was purchased, but it was somewhere between $40k-$60k.

GitHub - krishnan793/PlymouthTheme-Cat: This is a Plymouth theme created that can be used in Linux Distributions.
I saw this a bit ago and I think it's really creative. I won't use it though because I'm not a cat person. If there are any other unique ones out there (not just a distro logo with flair), I'd be interested.
