Biopharma companies have infinite money so a 400k machine means nothing to them. I'm a biologist working at a place that sells microfluidic instruments and while the base cost of the instrument is high the single use consumable cost needed to run experiments is insane.

Yeah consumables, especially in biopharma manufacturing, are loving insane

I have a relative who is a computer toucher and game nerd. He also used to be severly depressed.

Skydiving and wingsuit flying probably saved his life, he lives for it now, doing formation flying and competitions.

My dad was in a biotechnology start up at one point and they needed a budget increase so they asked the head investor for more money to finish out the quarter and he got all pissed off and then laughed and apologized when he found out they were only asking for like 360k (this woulda been over 20 years ago) and wrote a check on the spot.

the drug contaminated gowning trash that came out of a drug fill that ran about 15-24 hours was probably ~120-200lbs, as someone that would bag & tag full trashcans on my way out for 15 minutes, depending on how bad it went. That is the trashcan outside the exit emptied multiple times. Not the discarded clean glass from the tunnel, not the broken drug contaminated glass, not the empty cans of IPA and empty bottles of peroxide, not the cans in the cleanroom just full of latex gloves, nothing but tyvek that people wore in and out.

Dumping a tunnel because the glass was malformed or because there was an air reversal or something... just creating and hauling bags of shards of glass in tyvek bunny suits.

They’re probably talking to either loved ones or a crisis line.

If you’re in the US you can call 988 and it will connect you to a mental health crisis line.

Also lmao at google being terrible, if you just search “crisis line” it does not show that number at the top of the search. If you search many other connected topics it does.

It's so, so stupid. And there's an entire industry sprung up to service these people.

[Tell me if this is offtopic]
I really feel that we need to NOT hide all the videos of people dying, like when they fall off buildings doing ticktock trends and the like. All we have is this stream of reinforcement and people doing absurdly dangerous stuff and looking cool doing it, without the accompaniment of why our instincts are justified in recoiling from it. Everybody knows that skateboarders take tumbles as part of their practice, it's been on tv for our entire lives. But every time a skydiver goes splat or a bungee cord snaps it was an absolute tragedy, a total act of providence, and the obligatory recording the victim was making will never be released as that would be crass, of course.

As a contrast, Health & Safety videos have no reservations of telling you about how the auger thirsts for flesh, and here have a look at this xray of a guy who's leg got eaten by a belt.

Any "no deaths" rule in a content sharing thread is just there as a definite line in the sand to prevent the slippery slope of people posting snuff and gore to get their rocks off. Because that is what it always devolves into, with "lol shock value," "don't like it don't look," or "this is how the real world works so get used to it" as a fig leaf over their personal kink. Everything else is just details, and if that means that informative health and safety vids get left by the wayside as collateral damage, well, that's unfortunate but not really worth loosening the rules over.

Basically you exploit foreign scientists with false promises of riches with bullshit stock options if they work for free to crank out a super niche patent that hopefully a big pharma company buys just to own it even if they never plan to use it. The investors get a big pay day, vonpany gets dissolved and the foreign scientists ie my dad get poo poo canned.

lol yeah like 10 years before I worked at that place they bankrupted a company completely doing a FDA shelf-stabilization test fill where the lyo cracked and they threw the whole lot away, leaving that chemo drug dead in the water.

Then they brought in a welder to fix the lyo, he said he couldn't fix it, they threatened him and he did it, then it cracked on the other side and they made him fix that and then sued him and won.

That lyo was still killing lots at random intervals because the geometry was hosed until I was gone, pretty sure it finally got decommed.

Needs to have a ticket detection system before it deploys the net. Wouldn't want any fare evasion when you're implementing such an expensive system.

A lot more safe and effective than some of the homemade smoke machines I've seen. For thoes who aent mechanics, they are checking for vacuum leaks in the engine. The actual tool costs about 500 bucks or more and makes smoke by burning baby oil.

Edit. Although I dno why they went through all that effort to find a leak in that obviously lovely hose connection. You could have just as easily confirmed it's shittyness by spraying carb clean on that spot and hearing the engine bog down.

Extracting the baby oil is also expensive.

To be fair to the mad wingsuiters, without being near the ground to get that sense of movement, there's really not much point to being in a wingsuit. Well, unless it's your day to day commute. Just wingsuiting to the office.
