Alumina (aluminum oxide) is what you are extracting from aluminum ore and tough as fuck, which is why it’s easier to dissolve the rest of the stuff around it first.
Oxygen is mainly that other “junk” you have to separate with electricity. While the smelters only run at 4.5 volts (per cell), they have to push about 300kA to get the stuff up to ~950°C which breaks its chemical bond.
You probably have never even touched pure aluminum before. Aluminum and oxygen react so quick, all we typically ever see and touch is a alumina shell.

- Comment on xkcd #3094: Mass Spec 1 week ago:
Gravity is not a constant and that would probably matter at the precision that needs to be measured in the given test environment. In any other situation, gravity (or the state of the earths magnetic field) absolutely would not matter.
The precision of F=MA might even be debatable as an accurate formula at these scales… I dunno about that though.

Speculating, or course, I would say there wouldn’t be enough change to get a perceivable effect through other kinds of noise at the scale we are talking about. Yes, there would be an effect, but with all other environmental variables included, the results may appear completely random.
Then again, I suppose much of this boils down to the accuracy of the tools that you use to measure readings.

But in the UK, is a crisp “crispy” or is “crisp” a derivative of another term or phrase?

Even when you completely ignore that bullshit monologue from Altman, something is fishy with this.
While just speculation, I think they are positioning for a sale as that is going to be the only way to get any value from their shares. (Aside from dividends, if that is a even a thing with pre-IPO equity?)
Anyone else case to spitball any theories?

Butter is just milk with extra steps. There are quite a few things you can cook with milk (or specifically creams) that you would typically use butter for that you wouldn’t think. Steak is a good example.
Of course it’s not a 1:1 replacement, but that is kind of the point. The question is: How of you prefer your milk fats to taste when cooked? (If you are cooking a steak, are you after a specific butter flavor or a deeper cooked dairy flavor?)

It’s worse. We are reverting back to the age of lügenpresse and hearsay comes in short-form video formats.
Many people simply do not care (or are even aware) if a source is trusted if the message aligns with their own bias or the message is presented as a new “fact”. Trust is irrelevant, unfortunately.
- Comment on Heineken and pot go together well, because they're both so skunky. 1 month ago:
There is a dark art to growing in small spaces and it’s super fun! Run 12-12 lighting from seedling and you can get a single mega bud, with proper care. The plants will only develop its main cola, basically. Unfortunately, small grows and screwing with their growth cycle causes stress and too much stress causes herms. Small price to pay, I suppose.

I would look into something like Doppler instead of Vault. (I don’t trust any company acquired by IBM. They have been aquiring and enshittifying companies before there was even a name for it.)
Look into how any different solutions need their keys presented. Dumping the creds in ENV is generally fine since the keys will need to be stored and used somehow. You might need a dedicated user account to manage keys in its home folder.
This is actually a host security problem, not generally a key storage problem per se.
Since you are going to using a Pi, you should focus on that being a restricted host: Only run your chosen vault solution on it. Period. Secure and patch it to the best of your ability and use very specific host firewall rules for minimum connectivity. Ie: Have one user for ssh in and limit another user account to managing vault, preferably without needing any kind of elevated access. This is actually a perfect use case for SELinux since you can put in some decent restrictions on the host for a single app (and it’s supporting apps…)
If you are paranoid enough to run a HIDS, you can turn on all the events for any type of root account actions. In theory once the host is configured, you shouldn’t need root again until you start performing patches.

It would force everyone who still wanted to use Facebook to upload more fresh data and get hooked again in the process. It’s not a relevance play. It’s a “we want all your new data” play.

Second this.
- Comment on Help interpreting benchmark results 1 month ago:
Resins have a typical use-time for within a year. Some may last longer, some may not. Some may start to show exposure issues. Some just start to separate or solidify partially. Some resins don’t care at all. (It should be written somewhere on the bottle when the resin was made and when it should be used by.)
This is a helluva “unknown variable” you are working with, is my point. Resin is the absolute core of any printing functionality (obviously) and print settings are highly dependant on the resins qualities.
Just because I am so damn picky during my testing and learning process, I would abandon testing with that resin completely and be thankful it even printed a calibration test at all. (I would get a fresh bottle, is what I am saying.)
However, in the interest of using the resin, I would YOLO the exposure time (increase it) and start printing prototypes or other strange experiments. There is a bunch of things I could test even if using a sub-optimal resin.
You could spend time with the rest of that bottle and tweak the settings into partial-perfection. How reusable are those settings for future bottles though?
- Comment on Help interpreting benchmark results 1 month ago:
I see a lot of inconsistent exposure, which is super weird.
How old is the resin? New? Was it purchased at the time you got the printer? Was it well shaken?
The biggest issue I see is the gap in the outline at the very top of the print. That shouldn’t happen that late in the print at all. It’s iffy resin or there are small solid chunks floating around in your tank.
My first week with my resin printer was spent testing exposure and probably did about a hundred or so “cones of calibration” ( tableflipfoundry.com/…/the-cones-of-calibration-v… ) with a few different resins.
While a person generally needs to be a little on the crazy side to do that much testing, it was effective. After all of the that testing, what I found out is that comparing two prints with different settings is more valuable than just printing one single calibration test.
See if you can manage to print at least 8 tests at 8 different exposure levels. (I prefer 16, but you do you.) You will quickly learn how to interpret calibration tests and how exposure works.
But, back to your question and my official interpretation: You have a printer that is capable of printing! Yay! I ain’t being sarcastic, actually and this is good.
- Comment on Yesterday's mystery print revealed 1 month ago:
There was a precursor to butyl tape that I am thinking of specifically. It was more clay-like and just as nasty. (It would have been easier (subjective) to pinch off balls of the stuff and cram it in those screw holes.)
No mind. You had the correct solution, me thinks.
