That label is only 5" square at most, though. You don't need a microwave sized box for that.
Username checks out.
#16 would be comical when it catches on a vertebra and bends. You don't want it too thick, though, as the mechanism relies on the weight, angle, and relative thinness of the blade to slice through. I'd recommend 1/8" with a concrete cap for weight. I'm torn between 304 and 5160, though.
Microscopes are crucial for diagnosing infections but can cost millions of pounds, making them entirely inaccessible for many people across the globe.
Good article but this stood out as a massive exaggeration. They can cost millions, much like a car can cost millions, but I can pick up a microscope sufficient for most clinical laboratory work for around $200-300. A cheap epifluoresence microscope can be acquired for around $2k.
Still an inaccessible amount for many, but it's several orders of magnitude cheaper.
Same in my profession, it's all manager jobs with no staff, i.e., do all the work yourself. I'm senior level but not qualified to manage, so I just took a barely above entry level position in a vaguely related field for 1/3 of my previous salary. But there's a $5k signing bonus... because it's a very undesirable job with high turnover.
Thanks, Cheeto Mussolini!
You're totally right. I'm guessing it's from Amazon, the company that thought sending us bulk bag breakfast cereal in an unpadded shipping bag was a good idea. We now have enough free corn flake breading for years, though!
