Each one of these costs more than the building itself
I do lab planning for a living and sometimes I like to play “How Many Houses Could This Instrument Buy?” with my coworkers. Usually it’s something along the lines of 0.1 to 1 houses, but every once in a while we do a process development lab for some biotech firm, and they want to spring for one of those Satorious automated bioreactors. Those things cost “a whole block’s worth of nice houses in a mid-major metro” money.
Ah, but this one goes BEEP.
The whole skit is brilliant, really ahead of its time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQPIdZvoV4g
Ugh, I wish. Almost none of them have any cool sound effects.
I love labs were they are like “we use three tools. A toothpick you can get at any restaurant, a device invented in the middle ages that hasn’t changed and is still made by like 30 people tops, and the million dollar magic machine that we don’t really understand”
Have you thought about maybe adding windows and RGB lighting to them?
Does win XP and x-ray/uv/florescence count? That’s already on there.
I’ve done time in biotech and in applied physics, and damn the gear over in the APh labs is cool as fuck.
I want an optics table for mini gaming.
I want a device that cools itself to -76F, evacuates itself to intergalactic pressures, then heats up a coil hot enough to vaporize gold for…
Well, I’ll find a use for it anyway.
I want an optics table for mini gaming.
A highschool lens-and-prism set is like 30-40 bucks on aliexpress, including a triple laserpointer. Not quite an optics table, but I’m assuming you don’t do your tabletop gaming with orange goggles and/or actual half-molten minis?
I plan on counting fringes to evaluate distances for my 40K sessions.
And yes, we use a welding laser to stimulate radiation damage.
Oh my god they made Industrialcraft real!
