What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • The same worries exist here too though. The blood bank isn't allowed to pay you for your plasma, but it's absolutely a for-profit organisation that runs on selling your plasma to pharmaceutical companies.

    I still believe it's a good thing to donate, but sometimes it feels a little icky that there's also a businessmodel around it

  • iFixit wants to fix the soldering iron
  • IR bottom heaters are usually not strong enough for reballing. They're for boards that are hard to solder, because there's a lot of copper or a heatsink for example.

    The bottom heater preheats the whole board, not to soldering temperatures but enough to make soldering a lot easier.

  • For weather prediction it usually isn't that accurate anyway, and varies over time and location a lot.

    For the thermostat it does matter, but usually you can set these in steps of 0.5°C. Mine reports back in 0.1°C steps.

  • Toilet-specific plungers get the job done faster with way less effort and mess
  • Soda and vinegar is an odd combination. Soda is a base, making water alkali. Vinegar is an acid, making water acidic. Together, they make water neutral again, with a lot of pretty bubbles.

    Either one can work really well depending on the stuff you need to get rid of. But adding one to the other just weakens it.

  • How Smooth Is The Earth, Really? Explore Elevation With An Interactive 3D Globe
  • Space is about 100 km up, on a sphere that has a radius of 6000 km, so some 2% is air.

    A pool ball has a radius of 30 mm roughly, so 2% of that is 0.6mm. Seems like a very thin coat of paint to me, but roughly correct.
