for context, this is something that will matter especially for higher-end boards, specifically boards that handle higher frequency signals than usual, think 5G connectivity things, or where engineering margins are thin. if there's a will, they could fly that plastic pellets out of saudi, or set up other logistics routes, as long as cost increase over just using container ship would be justified. it'll be only a fraction of mass of laminate in any case

oh now it's emergency, not when the working containment plan was shitcanned and failed shortly after

here, saved you a read:

The institute also said that Poland had one of the lowest shares of part time workers in the EU at just 6.2% – well below the bloc’s average of 17.7%.

not sure but excessive caffeine can definitely make it worse

you don't see a problem with giving money to cryptobros?

the other way around. you can post there so that other ai scraper will ingest it and include it in training data

i mean technically it's possible, you can show someone lab i guess there's nothing extremely dangerous, not sure how it works legally, but the process is rather boring and we're talking about a place that stores literal tons of piss why would you go there

If these are supposed to be used as backup generators then gas turbines are a good fit in technical sense. Can start quickly, don't need a lot of space or cooling, can work on partial load; lead times are somehow short, and you can just pack it all in containers and set up anywhere which seems to be important. The catch is that efficiency is probably just below 40% instead of 60% and slightly above for regular CCGT plant, thst is you need to burn extra 50%-ish gas (methane is cheapest fuel and can just be piped). about anything that burns and can be pumped through a nozzle can be used

Then there's matter of smog. You're supposed to put giant catalytic converter (sorta) on this thing and normal powerplants do just that. Apparently techbro oligarchs decided it's not disruptive enough this way

but dw this won't last, talking about bubble broke to the mainstream now

don't let crackheads know about it

what kinda drug tests are we talking about here? i'm talking about the kind where you send piss sample and then get result, or in fact hundreds of results. you need to make sure all your paperwork is complete and lab is certified and so on because someone might say that results are legally invalid

the process is a bit more involved, samples need tracking and monitoring and storage and preparation, and if it's like you describe then guy's sketchy and won't survive audit

~~to run drug tests you need six figure range machine (when new), maybe 5 euro worth of plastic (spe column, eppendorfs, pipette tips), couple ml of acetonitrile and maybe 5-7 min of machine time on average. it can run 24/7 and if you find anything you can do more detailed analysis. bro's not earning shit, he's paying down the machines (and maintenance)~~

e: no way i'm nerd-sniped this easily. you can get hplc-ms for 90ish grand, add milliq water purification system, solvent recycling system, lots of fridges, a couple of laptops and company server and various other equipment and we're probably in 200k range, excluding lab building itself. then you'll need, say, $5 of consumables per sample ($2 per spe cartridge), so we're talking about $40 revenue minus material costs. wages: you'll need something about four people to run this thing at full tilt, two lab workers, one (?) clerk, half time driver and half time it guy, if you pay everyone 15k/mo then you need to go through 100ish samples just to pay wages not counting rent utilities and debts. but you can probably run 200 per day per machine, 300 if pushing it, so the main constraint will be logistics. because most of lab is in place then adding another hplc/ms will be only 90k. 300 samples per day print 9k per day, if you can get these samples. that's probably why he's expanding
