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.

I changed out the toilet seat today. in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

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)

Hypodermic needle with red blood cells under an electron microscope in c/pics@lemmy.world

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.

Which one are you? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Does she have a name? What do you call her? in c/stardewvalley@lemm.ee

No name, but for the longest time, I thought she was a man with a big mustache.

I made a quick template sensor to pull in data from AirNow. After, I then found out about the post at https://lemmy.world/post/730349, but I thought it might still be useful to share for a quick glance.

template:
  - sensor:
     - name: "Air Quality"
       unique_id: "airnowaqitemplate"
       state: >
         {% set aqi = states('sensor.airnow_air_quality_index') | int %}
         {% if aqi <= 50 %}
           Good
         {% elif aqi <= 100 %}
           Moderate
         {% elif aqi <= 150 %}
           Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
         {% elif aqi <= 200 %}
           Unhealthy
         {% elif aqi <= 300 %}
           Very Unhealthy
         {% elif aqi >= 301 %}
           Hazardous
         {% else %}
           Unknown
         {% endif %}
       icon: >
         {% set aqi = states('sensor.airnow_air_quality_index') | int %}
         {% if aqi <= 50 %}
           mdi:emoticon-happy
         {% elif aqi <= 100 %}
           mdi:emoticon-neutral
         {% elif aqi <= 150 %}
