So my team lead ordered a bottle of a particularly nasty chemical (don't remember what, this was long ago) Thing is, he went on holiday immediately after and didn't tell anyone about it. The bottle had to be shipped and kept at -20℃ otherwise it would decompose into a deadly gas; one of those lovely CMR types. So next thing that happens is, I get called on my day off by the boss saying that there is a scary box in the lab and if I could check it out. I was reluctant but I figure I'll check it out. I though to myself that it was a little unusual that they would ship it in a styrofoam box without any dry ice (it had evaporated) so I take out a slightly bloated bottle which seems to be filled with some liquid. I then tear of the package label and read the MSDS. At this point I read all the scary labels and realize that this thing has been out here for a while, all the dry ice has evaporated, the bottle is bloated and filled with gas which I am sitting right next to. So I turn on ventilation and GTFO. I inform the boss who immeditally got his home freezer to cool it down. I meanwhile started to notice a stinging in my eyes (which was one of the effects) We wash out my eyes, stinging goes away, lungs are fine and everything ends without injury.

TLDR

Coworker orders deadly chemicals, goes on holiday, doesn't tell anyone, almost kills me.

Yes is the best answer. They got a lot of votes from the Jury, because the song is musically one of the more impressive ones (subjective ofc). But, the audience also gets to vote, and can vote for whatever reason. Like: best song, nationalistic reasons, most catchy song?, identity reasons, Song of an artist that makes a statement. Similarly the jury is not immune to these thing so there is no such thing as a subjective vote for best song. So... Yes

It depends on the definition I guess. I would consider driving a car to be multitasking. But doing three different office tasks on my laptop feels more like context switching as someone dubbed it here.

But I'm just some dude it's not like I've read any papers on it but that's what it feels like for me.

Noone knows, it has been decades since they got banned and the EdenOS net was airgapped.

I love this community, such a unique vibe. Thanks for all the posts and all the best FUCKER hope you recover.

Wow that's great. Hope they sell in EU as well. Those straps really make the difference compared to those rubber ones that go around your foot, as well as the repairability. Thanks!

Yeah that is about what I thought. But you know I'm just one guy. Maybe someone knows of a brand that is more repairable than others. Thanks for chiming in.

Wow that is awesome. When I need a washing machine I'll check them out!

  • Laser holography and optics. After I took an photonics course I became obsessed. I am attempting to build a laser holography setup to capture "true" 3D reflections on a piece of film. Even getting cheap diode lasers to lase coherently at high currents is a challenge. It's a black hole for money so I need to limit myself but it is just so fucking interesting.
  • Cameras. I am not a good photographer but I love cameras. I can ramble on and on about every single function detail and the history too. I even built a scientific camera for my job from scratch. And beyond that I even started getting into the math behind distortion correction, stereo, panorama etc.
  • 3D printing is a major rabbit hole. Especially if you've built your own printer.
