My work runs some scientific instruments on Windows 3.1 and Windows 98 still. The equipment is from the 80s and cannot be upgraded. To buy a new one costs 5 million dollars. Ironically, when parts break on it now, it’s super expensive to fix because of rarity of parts. Luckily the computers are not on the internet.
Dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometers, or D-SIMS for short. It’s an analytical tool to measure very low concentrations of elements in materials. We use it to help mining companies find gold that’s wrapped up in various minerals like pyrite.
I feel like my house is constantly a fucking mess. My wife and I work 80 hours between us and we have a 2 year old and I feel like it’s constantly a mess....
So me and my wife talk about this… Is keeping a small house tidy easier than a large house? We have a 2400 sq ft house as well. I would assume if you had a small house, it’s the same amount of mess, but it’d be more overwhelming because it’s compressed into a smaller space. And clean space would fill up faster. So you’d be cleaning more to at least have some space that’s clean.
For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!
