in case of emergencies, light it.

  At one of my first jobs we had a big printer that kept jamming in mid-job. Every time our in-house techs showed up it would start working again. Eventually one of the guys taped a wallet-size photo of his face inside the cover of the printer so it was looking at the print head. That machine never jammed again!

    I worked with a senior programmer who was a staunch Creationist - or as he always put it, “not an Evolutionist.”

      I know a guy with two PhD’s, who works in a genetics lab, and is entirely convinced that Neanderthals (and all other pre-homo sapien humanoids) are a hoax by evolutionists to lead true believers astray.

  This is like the place I worked where our server room fire suppression system was a handheld extinguisher and a “Guardian Angel of Computers” wall hanging.

    That beats the “In case alarm, run away because both you and fire need oxygen, and the oxygen is about to leave the room” system that some server rooms and labs have.

      Well, the good thing about the inert gas systems is that they work even if the fire starts when you aren’t there. We didn’t have the budget for one, so we just hoped there wouldn’t be a fire after 5pm.

    It’s always been like this. Never use the pcr on the edge of the line. Always use the one in the middle and make the two beside it run the same program. Old fuckers are just pricey kettles, and they aren’t doing what they should be well enough…

      Ok but that one at least has a reasonable explanation. The temp control on the edges aren’t as good as in the center, so it’s more prone to messing up.

      Have you ever tried using a qPCR machine? That shit is actual black magic and you just have to hope that the spirits are feeling merciful that day
