This is definitely a question for HR, but generally an employment change is a "life event".

I started with Ubuntu back when you could put in your parent's home address and they sent you free CDs. I'm on Arch (since about 2010), and I can't change.

Who just carries around $3000?

It was just the Chlorox bathroom cleaner, so nothing that might be considered industrial strength. I think an all-purpose cleaner or maybe some Castile soap may be enough.

Just a warning: check what cleaners are compatible with your new toilet seat. I used the same bleach I normally use on my new wooden seat and now my toilet is all streaked and discolored because the paint was removed. I'm going to try a spray-on enamel oil-based paint at some point to try to repair (after stripping and sanding), but better to not have to do this at first.

Most likely, I'm using stronger stuff than I need to anyway and I should switch cleaners. You shouldn't need to clean "99.99+% of viruses and bacteria" on your personal toilet seat because you and your family will spread those to each other through other means than your butts.

This is a Thermo handheld XRF. I wasn't working at this place when it was purchased, but it was somewhere between $40k-$60k.

When I found out they had lead last year, I went to work with the cup to confirm. This is a handheld XRF, which depends on the specific spacing of electrons in atoms to determine the identity. Not much to it other than point and shoot! (with shielding)

showing lead (Pb) from the pattern.

I have an HDMI switch that starts acting up if the power cable gets loose. Why does the power cable get loose? No idea, but it's also a cheap nobrand switch. This probably isn't your issue, but try pushing the barrel connector in more or try a power supply that supports a higher current (same output voltage). I only mention it because I only managed to "fix" my switch by noticing it was just a mm out of the jack.

I'm assuming if the syringe was wet before being placed in the microscope, the vacuum of the chamber would cause most of the water in the plasma to vaporize. The remaining salts and compounds would be much smaller than the red blood cells. The density of the red blood cells would be much larger than any remaining plasma, so the bulk of your backscattered electrons will be coming from the cells and needle, making the plasma essentially transparent. This is a fairly low magnification image for SEM, but that's how you get such fantastic depth of field.

This is great! If I ever get a minute from playing Balatro from the Steam sale I'll try some out!
