Don’t destroying angel mushrooms basically stop your body from making proteins? That’s roughly the same net effect as RNA stopping working so it should give you a pretty good approximation.

Pretty cool device.
That’s the exact reason I snagged it as soon as I saw it in the scrap pile with no idea what I would ever use it for. Aparently they work really well but I’ve never had the opporitunity to work on a machine with one installed.

It do fit so I guess it do sit.

Inside the ice machine it pulls in air from near the ice making sheet, runs it across the bulb, and spits the air back out above the water distribution bar above the ice making sheet. Similar devices from other manufacturers will pull the air from all the way down in the ice bin to circulate it inside the bin as well.
As far as it being an enclosed space, ice machines are fairly sealed but are frequently opened to access the ice in the bin. They’re less sealed than your average refrigerator.

I spent nearly 30 years of my life with unmedicated ADHD and ocasionally it works to my benefit.
Also still working on the 240V power thing. I just need to have disposable income first.
- Comment on Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge? 1 week ago:
It’s not pure oxygen. It’s basically just ionizing the oxygen in the air. From what I understand it works similarly to an ozone generator but is slightly different.
- Comment on Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge? 1 week ago:
Ice machine do use a lot of plastic but it is usually designed to be more robust due to the cleaners used so it may be different from the stuff used in a fridge.
- Comment on Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge? 1 week ago:
Nope. They run all the time. They literally just get wired direct to the hot side of the main contactor in the machine. If the machine has power the luminice unit is running.
- Comment on Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge? 1 week ago:
That’s what I thought they were at first too but aparently there is a difference. A cold oxygen plasma generator does produce ozone but aparently it also does other stuff. I’m not sure on the exact science but it isn’t just an ozone generator.
- Comment on Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge? 1 week ago:
I want to. I have a spare minifridge so I may run some trials with that. Unfortunately it’ll need to wait a bit because the Luminice unit needs a new bulb and I don’t have that kind of money on hand at the moment.
- Comment on Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge? 1 week ago:
That’s what I’m kind of wondering. Maybe I should try it out with my minifridge first.

- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 1 week ago:
They use adiabatic gas coolers on their refrigeration systems. Basically there is a perpetually wet piece of media that air runs through before it gets to the refrigeration coils. By running through that wet media you precool the air basically down to the current dewpoint by evaporating water and therefore you’re cooling the refrigeration coils with colder air which leads to more efficient opperation and reduces the size of the gas coolers required. From what I’ve seen a lot of these datacenters are also switching to CO2 based refirgeration systems which are generally better except the low critical temp of CO2 mean that their efficiency starts to drop quickly once the ambient temp gets much above 80F. Using adiabatic coolers mostly removes that shortfall.

No, you’ve got it all wrong. It’s good opera etiquette to jerk off at the opera to show that you’re enjoying it. Etiquette doesn’t demand the preopera wank; it’s just so you have better endurance for your proper opera wank.

There are pros to working in my field for femboys though. For one example, regularly lugging an 80lb pack of tools up and down roof access ladders has given me calves and thighs that could make a person weep. Femboys are also typically better equipped for working in confined spaces. Additionally, having ready access to a hardhat, hi-vis vest, clipboard, and toolbelt enables so many crimes. I can also see some of my hi-vis workwear having serious potential as club wear with a bit of modification.

I tried the nail polish thing but I work with too many chemicals that strip paint for it to last more than a day. Rings are also a big no no in my job because I work with electricity. I guess I could do eye shaddow but my eyelids are naturally dark enough that I’ve already been accused of wearing it before.
Skirts on the otherhand would be excelent for keeping me cool. Just might not be great for my coworker following me up the roof ladder.

- Comment on Financially rewarding and you will always have a job 4 weeks ago:
Then it sounds like HVAC/Refrigeration it the trade for you. It’s kind of funny because we tend to get all the people who dropped other trades for various reasons. I work with ex plumbers who didn’t want to deal with shit, I work with journeyman electricians who didn’t want to spend 8 years becomming a master electrician, I work with ex building automation guys who got tired of trying to automate busted equipment. A lot of my coworkers started in other trades, went “This fucking sucks” and switched to HVAC-R.
- Comment on 'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre 4 weeks ago:
They use adiabatic coolers to minimize electrical cost for cooling and maximize cooling capacity. The water isn’t directly used as the cooling fluid. It’s just used to provide evaporative cooling to boost the efficiency of a conventional refrigeration system. I also suspect that many of them are starting to switch to CO2 based refrigeration systems which heavily benefit from adiabatic gas coolers due to the low critical temp of CO2. Without an adiabatic cooler the efficiency of a CO2 based system starts dropping heavily when the ambient temp gets much above 80F.
They could acheive the same results without using water, however their refrigeration systems would need larger gas coolers which would increase their electricity usage.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 5 weeks ago:
Commercial grills do exactly that. There’s just a thermostat built into the gas valve which uses a sensing bulb to modulate the gas flow based on actual temp and set temp. They don’t even need electricity let alone wifi.

- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 months ago:
It still doesn’t beat the long term durability and 100% recyclability of copper though. If I was doing an install in a factory or somewhere where the plumbing would require frequent modification then the fact that pex is easier to work with would probably make me go that route. But in my house where I will be replumbing once and then it will be almost entirely burried in the walls and left alone for decades, I would rather just put the extra work in and do it with copper.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure about shower valves in particular but I have devinitely brazed directly to regular nylon core plumbing ball valves before by using the rag trick.in that case you just wrap the valve itself with the wet rag.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 months ago:
Yep. Thas is all that’s in silphos. For any work that isn’t copper to copper then I would need to use silver brazing wire which is just copper, zinc, tin, and silver.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 months ago:
Yep there are crimp fittings but they cost more and the seal in those fittings is only rated to last so long. Of course that is a very long time (50 years I think) but I still prefer sweat fit copper that lasts for the life of the pipe.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 months ago:
Copper pipes don’t leach microplastics into my drinking water, are 100% recyclable, and are more durable.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 months ago:
The same is actually true of a lot of refrigeration components as well. You just wrap a wet strip of rag around the pipe to act as a heat barier between where you’re brazing and the sensitive component. As long as the rag stays wet (which it will unless you go really slow) then heat won’t significantly propogate past that point. Just doing that can let you braze a joint within 1" of a plastic component as long as you’re careful where you point the torch.
