Did you cut any cheese?

It’s a lab thing. In a regular kitchen, it hardly matters.

However, in a lab, it definitely does when you have a lot of slurry to filter and you can’t wait all day. Many filtrations tend to take forever anyway, so speeding things up is always appreciated.

If you wet the filter before starting the filtration, you’re removing air from the pores of the paper. This way, there’s an open channel for water to go through, and it’s possible to utilise a larger part of the available surface area. Filtration is limited by surface area, so bigger is better and more is more. A wet filter simply guarantees that you’ll get as much surface area as possible.

Wait, only 10 questions? Doesn’t sound very reliable to me.

Thanks, I really enjoyed the other pictures too. Modern control rooms are just a bunch of displays and keyboards in a row. The old ones were all custom made, which gave them plenty of character.

Technical diagrams can be hard to read, and they probably aren’t going to get any simpler in the future as we keep on adding more layers of complexity to every factory and plant. Don’t know about electrical diagrams though, since I haven’t needed those very often.

It’s mostly the same selection as steam and gog.

Even though that diagram seems complicated, it really isn’t. If you ever get the chance to play around with a modern automation software in an actual power plant or a factory, you’ll be overwhelmed. The number of tanks, pipes, pumps, valves, flow meters, level indicators, pressure gauges, temperature sensors etc. is absolutely enormous. What you see on the wall would be just a high level overview. Often you would need to drill one or two levels deeper to find what you’re really looking for.

Although, old industrial facilities were very simple by modern standards, so maybe that diagram really did have everything.

Sounds a bit concerning. Whatever Disney touches tends to turn to shit. It’s sort of like a reverse Midas touch, but with extra Disney flavor.

contemporaneous = existing, occurring, or originating during the same time. social and political events that were contemporaneous with each other

contemporary = marked by characteristics of the present period
The story is old, but has importance to contemporary audiences.

current = occurring in or existing at the present time, presently elapsing, generally accepted, used, practiced, or prevalent at the moment
current needs, current ideas about education

I get the feeling that current might be the word you’re looking for.

It’s ok to do something else for a while and come back later. No Man’s Sky is one of those games. Every time you come back after a break, there’s cool new stuff to try.

There are alternatives.

Yeah it’s the contrast of opposing vibes. Some parts of it make you think it’s a cozy place while the rest tells you it’s anything but. This kind of contradictory energy is pretty wild.

People could come there to sit down and chill out. Liminal implies that people only pass through and never come there because that place has something for them. A liminal space isn’t a destination. It’s for passing through.

Regardless, these pictures have some interesting architecture.

Nice touch with the pipes. Exactly what this place needed.

There was a post about that a little while ago.

I wonder if anyone else has bumped into this issue. You find a video, start watching it, but you can’t comment or upvote. Well, no problem, just log into your instance, find the same video and… oh you can’t find it. It just isn’t there. Ok, well I guess I’ll just watch the video on the other instance and skip all the usual like comment and subscribe… oh… What if I want to see more of these, and I can’t subscribe. You know, this isn’t a trivial little annoyance after all.

What about the bright light? Everything else makes sense though?

But people did respond with real actions to a thing that wasn’t happening. The allegation was dumb, but doing something about it was even dumber.

Nobody was using the towers to spread viruses, but people attacked those towers regardless.

What about vaccinations spreading magnetic microchips or 5G towers spreading a biological virus? I think it’s pretty hard to beat that level of stupidity.

Yeah, that’s just made up LOL.

It’s fun to imagine what kinds to studies would cats write.
