Lab worker built a fake PC to nuke his lunch

Re: Re: What am I missing?

We've revised to add a bit more clarity. Basically, the department manager declared that the microwave oven and coffee machine could not be used in the R&D department at all. The sink part was important because they washed the contaminated kit there, but in general the contamination was with very short half-life isotopes, and in our reader's estimation, posed no danger – whether near the sink, or anywhere else.

It reminds this vulture of my old university hiking buddy who kept her HIV sample flasks in the cooler bag next to the iced water bottles when we went on desert hikes. Perfectly safe, but made a few of our fellow hikers sweat. Good times.

Thanks mate ｰ( ￣▽ )_皿~~ much appreciated!

Re: Can't help wondering

We've had tech problems on comments over the weekend which our incredibly hardworking tech team has now ironed out.

This team really, really, really cares about readers and serving the readers and we all especially want this space to be a good place to chew the fat.

To be completely frank, this comment is the last thing any of us would want to read coming back from a long weekend.

Re: Re: secrecy

We did some work on our backend systems over the weekend, including article comments, and there were a few gremlins, which our tech team has fixed now.

This meant some of you submitted a comment at the weekend and are only seeing it now. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

(The truth is: we heard the sound of a helicopter, and then a ceiling tile moved, and a shadowy figure silently rappelled down from the ceiling into Vulture HQ. They took our editor and stole our biscuits, and then I posted this as a response to Timbo's commennnn... NOOOOOOOOO! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME!)
