I flew out though Wellington last week, and was told I could keep my laptop in my bag, no doubt due to the new CT scanners.

I know Auckland has these at the International terminal, but have they reached domestic yet? where else in the country?

Thanks this is an interesting read. Probably unsurprising the strong technical job bias and the demographics that goes along with that.

The spoiler tag hides the text of the bar graph but not the actual image!

The hash tag just adds the community name:

“The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.”

Not really putting words in your mouth.

If it is totally local, (and able to be disabled easily) then great.

No problem, The gas phase avoids nitrogen liquid infiltration into our storage straws that could be imperfectly heat sealed. If only a tiny amount gets in this expands 700 times in volume to the gas phase when warmed up causing the straws to pop.

The key glass transition temperature is that of the samples, there will inevitably be some warming as the tanks are used and sample racks removed, but so long as the samples don't warm more than -130°C they won't experience any structural changes.

OFAF just saves liquid nitrogen, quite a lot is lost cooling down the pipes when doing a fill, so may as well fill all of the tanks while the supply pipe is cold.

I think there is an issue with Tank 1, perhaps the insulation is not as good as the other tanks. I am monitoring to make sure it does not get worse over time.

The article says: "Currently there is no indication that it was due to outside influence but the police report was done to cover all bases."

This is odd. I run a similar but smaller facility in New Zealand (3 tanks). If the nitrogen supply fails we have about 18-20 days worth left in the tanks before they run dry. Even then I had a staff member checking every couple of days over Christmas anyway. I wrote an R script to analyse data from the tanks https://rhizobia.nz/r/N2-tanks.html to get a good idea of usage.

Just strange to me that a much more well funded organisation didn't do better.

There are a lot of fungi that might be the genus "P."! This is Puccinia monoica a rust fungus.

You can still use the PWA (progressive web app) for your home lemmy site. This works well.

Does anyone know of a matrix client that is able to run on very old iOS version, namely 10.3.4 ?

Yes! Very good. Ian M Banks

This is amazing, going on my office door.

The initial trial will be with pure compound, eventually moving to whole mushroom.

Exciting news today that my collaborators have been granted the first licence in NZ to cultivate Psilocybe ‘magic mushrooms’ for use in helping addiction to methamphetamine. I am providing advice on the mushrooms. #mycology 🧪

Thoughts on watchOS 10 (www.apple.com)
submitted 11 months ago by bevan@lemmy.nz to c/applewatch@lemmy.world

What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

Makes perfect sense from a tourism point of view

country: USA for lemmy.nz ! (the-federation.info)
submitted 1 year ago by bevan@lemmy.nz to c/support@lemmy.nz

Now this is incredibly minor so drop it to the bottom of your 'to do' list, but for some reason the country is set to USA for lemmy.nz on the Federation info site.

Perhaps a default config somewhere, or interpreted from cloudflare?
