lab updates
Added 2022-05-09 16:20:05 +0000 UTCfor most of the past couple weeks i've been stuck working in the house doing even more cleaning and tear out since I wanted to get as much stuff thrown out as a I could before my dumpster rental was up. I did find a few more treasures along with the trash, and I have been able to do a little foraging out in the woods here too.
the lights in the lab are finished now, using over 2kW of LEDs for maximum brightness. this week I begin the framing, then after that comes the insulation and then drywall. i've also finally started working on the chemical formulary 3 vid again, and will continue to work on that during down times over the coming weeks

Thanks for the insight! I guess the thing with the flags might be a bit more sensitive here (or the culture more uptight(?)). In general Finns tend stick to the rules a bit more than I'd prefer...

However a flag this is not "fit" is not to be hoisted or displayed, according to our Veteran Affairs. This is where personal interpretation comes in. A lot of flags in Alaska or on shipping vessels get tattered quickly, but the actual point in which the tears become disrespectful is very personal. Hey I love Finland myself, good to meet you!

2022-05-10 23:38:54 +0000 UTCI agree the raggedness kind of fits with the US flag. It definitely looks like our cottage pennant that I accidentally left there for winter as well, flapping in the breeze agaist some tree branches. Here (Finland), I believe it'd be frown upon. We even have a rule (not sure if it's a law) to burn the flag if it touches the ground while you're lifting it up/down. 😁 I wonder if this is a thing elsewhere? I would assume we've got the idea from some other country.

2022-05-10 06:30:38 +0000 UTCyeah i'd say so. this flag was from the previous owner, and the flag on the pole outside is quite beat up as well!

2022-05-10 01:18:40 +0000 UTCI do need a lot of ceiling clearance for the arcs from the tesla coils :D plus I need a lot of space for the various flavors of science i like to do. eventually i'll put in a big faraday cage, a chem lab with fume hood, and an optics table.

2022-05-10 01:17:35 +0000 UTCI have no idea what you are talking about. Now excuse me while I boil this Amanita muscaria and isolate some compounds. :)

2022-05-10 00:13:44 +0000 UTCYou can tell it's seen some wind since the white stripe material is tattering. When a flag has wind wear it's only got more character!

2022-05-10 00:12:11 +0000 UTCIs it a common thing there to have a beaten up US flag hanging from the ceiling? :D

2022-05-09 22:53:23 +0000 UTCWow! I had no idea the new space was that large!?! You going to be accelerating particles or detecting gravity waves? Wandering in the woods is highly suggested to keep balanced. ;)
