Didn't Finnish IQM do it already?

Those must be an event when a window pane on the floor above the place where the sensor resides cracked and fell and sliced the cable leading to detector. Took some time to fix things, probably just reallocated sensor ID to another station nearby. Old story.

A fun experiment in metro area would be not just measuring background, but actively filter air and measure what's left on filter. I too have a gamma scintillator crystal setup waiting on a shelf for a day when I have enough time to return to using it.

Or not well-designed. I'm sure someone like Mark Oehler could've figured something out. I don't have much sod here in central Finland, unfortunately, to try something, neither did he I suppose. I still think of how to cover the roof in living grass though, this is perfect roofing material IMHO once we figure out how to fix leakage without resorting to plastic sheets that my grass seems to tear like they are not even there.

Saw word "merino", came to type "varusteleka", yet here it is already!

Couldn't start using Vespucci, unfortunately. Too messy - when you are on the run, best you can do is make notes and record tracks to draw them later (or let others do it). I'm sure it has its uses though.

Trying DigiAgriApp now, with my sensor network and public mapping, this looks like path to some weird solarpunk grassroots future. Starting server from docker is surprisingly messy though, I still fail to patch it through https somehow.

Just keep contributing bit by bit. It's a shame, I'm a busy CEO living in middle of nowhere with nothing to map, still #2 last week in my country, #12 for all times,seriously, if I had this thing as a student, I'd be doing nothing else, we were photographing cities with my friends back in the days for centralized maps and it's way more labor. Go install streetcomplete and just have fun, it's autistic paradize I live in now!

Looks like extremely short fermentation in mead, dates should accelerate and improve sedimentation, just how fast was it?

Why do you think it's stalled? Maybe just lemon peel trapped the gas?

I've made lots of mead with citrus peel, including lemon, I've used in on secondary though, just to keep more flavor by less gas escape. Maybe you should do the same?

Haha, then it always gets reversed, gf drinks brandy and you find yourself enjoying the other thing!

Or maybe I'm just not straight or something lol. Who cares anyway. Just makes me think about it, probably because foamy berries going through the fermenter opening both ways are my fetish.

They might have switched to diffractive optics to combine lens and diffuser in one structure. I was anticipating to see it in newer small embedded screens, but haven't encountered anything like this yet. You might peel some of whatever peels off on the side and see if there is periodic pattern underneath or just more of same.

Awesome! I once (more than 10 years ago, wow) had an idea to attach solar heater to vacuum/gas CVD system to make graphene, but my PI at the time said it's dumb idea, sure it will work, no novelty there. Now I have no idea why I would want to make graphene, and pass all the free lenses in second hand shops. Now if making the forge is feasible (I had doubts), I'm totally doing it too, in Finland!

Ec1118 is a great mead yeast indeed.

I'm estimating og to be more like 1130 with your numbers unless the honey was really wet.

What's the plan for fermentation time?
