what kinda drug tests are we talking about here? i’m talking about the kind where you send piss sample and then get result, or in fact hundreds of results. you need to make sure all your paperwork is complete and lab is certified and so on because someone might say that results are legally invalid
the process is a bit more involved, samples need tracking and monitoring and storage and preparation, and if it’s like you describe then guy’s sketchy and won’t survive audit
to run drug tests you need six figure range machine (when new), maybe 5 euro worth of plastic (spe column, eppendorfs, pipette tips), couple ml of acetonitrile and maybe 5-7 min of machine time on average. it can run 24/7 and if you find anything you can do more detailed analysis. bro’s not earning shit, he’s paying down the machines (and maintenance)
e: no way i’m nerd-sniped this easily. you can get hplc-ms for 90ish grand, add milliq water purification system, solvent recycling system, lots of fridges, a couple of laptops and company server and various other equipment and we’re probably in 200k range, excluding lab building itself. then you’ll need, say, $5 of consumables per sample ($2 per spe cartridge), so we’re talking about $40 revenue minus material costs. wages: you’ll need something about four people to run this thing at full tilt, two lab workers, one (?) clerk, half time driver and half time it guy, if you pay everyone 15k/mo then you need to go through 100ish samples just to pay wages not counting rent utilities and debts. but you can probably run 200 per day per machine, 300 if pushing it, so the main constraint will be logistics. because most of lab is in place then adding another hplc/ms will be only 90k. 300 samples per day print 9k per day, if you can get these samples. that’s probably why he’s expanding
flights to east asia are much more expensive from europe, and the cheapest ones were with stopover in one of gulf countries (qatar or uae generally) now you can get direct lufthansa flight over polar circle, but you’ll pay
must be greenpeace, move along nothing to see here
(also it’s old news atp)
this is not something unusual, it’s like saying “how china’s manufacturing industry fuels microplastic crisis”. it so happens that manufacture of many APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients, especially generics on account of lower profit margin) got over time outsourced to china and india. what else do you want? cut off entire countries from opioids import? there are legit importers everywhere and it’s that countries’ regulators/customs/etc job to figure it out
if you’re interested in heating only, then geo-solar hybrid might be better for you. the point is that excess heat from solar collector gets stored in soil near borehole, which can be used for heating in winter. solar heat also gets you hot water year round, and it can be made to work with heat pump or without
Shadowban is when you can see your own post/comment but it’s unsearchable or otherwise unreachable by other people. milder variant is comments hidden by default, some of them look like deleted by mod but it might be automatic. the point of shadowban is that you don’t know about it. this is something different, why it happened to you idk but there is some trade in old accounts for spam purposes, maybe that’s why
there is empirical series of materials sorted from which one is most likely to lose vs gain electrons, but what exactly happens is one of unsolved problems in physics
fr this is worse than toilet paper roll math
there are 199 seats and so 2/3 supermajority is 133 seats. tisza has 136 now at 60%ish polling stations counted
at 45% polling stations (?) in, Tisza has 135 seats, which is more than supermajority, and results from bigger cities where opposition has greater support still are not yet counted. if mi hazank drops under 5% threshold, their lead will be greater. lowkey expecting that orban is looking for plane tickets to moscow rn
update: at 72% stations in, Tisza has 138 seats
i think that when locals call a place “the land that god made in anger”, it might be wise to not settle there
lol this is a question that could only be asked on lemmy. read what you want but more importantly practice
dropped as cleanup-only, not allowed by their policies
i suspect that it might be vibecoded, too
join some matrix room that you like and look around for people’s homeservers
i bet they have some preferences about contractor
i was thinking more like, thin external plastic shell and empty cells inside, perhaps with another thin plastic shell on inside, and internal metal shell (on plastic support?) fitting in snugly, for mechanical stability, idk 3dprinting
keeping leads short and nonmagnetic (dramatic reduction in skin layer depth) would be a good thing because of losses, but the longest object in capacitor would be just capacitor plates, and either way in wavelength terms it’s rather small. more precisely you can model it as open transmission line stub with some weird and low impedance, but it’s so small that you don’t have to. you can also make capacitor shorter and wider, or even add more layers like how vacuum variables are made. in nesting design you can get taper effect just by making inner layers longer
i mean technically it’s possible, you can show someone lab i guess there’s nothing extremely dangerous, not sure how it works legally, but the process is rather boring and we’re talking about a place that stores literal tons of piss why would you go there
