Will not be cheater invested like normal eft, surely not

This sentencing is so non-sense because it rather shows how the legislation for scientific samples is often not really there or sensible.

During my PhD I was working on rather obscure marine invertebrate animals called Bryozoan. To any normal person they look like some algea or plant matter. I had to collect live specimens and transport them from one European country to another by airplane. If I would follow proper procedure I would need a vet check the health status of the animals at departure and arrival. No vet ever has looked at a bryozoan much less has any clue on how to access their health. So the conclusion was to simply throw them in a cooler and hand this in as the luggage. When asked whats in the cooler I just said „mostly water“.

Almost everyone in the academic community would frequently transport DNA, RNA, Antibodies, Animals and other unique samples by just placing it in the luggage. There is hardly any real alternative in an industry that is strapped for money (basic research is almost always poor)

Oh for sure super useful. But when he said its open source I was ready to start building this thing. But 5k+ in total build costs is a bit steep for me.

Its cool tech but far from Consumer hands. While open source its also rather expensive to build (at least for end users). The projector costs more than 2k and the rotating platform is almost 1k. Other parts I did not check :)

If it would be 1k or so I would build one

What court? Nothing ever happens, he has been pulling these stunts for so many years now. Consequences are almost nil

Oh I do, a lot. Which is why I build the system so that even if I am gone for 2 weeks, the plant will get the best possible water routine.

I sometimes use AliExpress for DIY electronics like microcontrollers and other components. An Esp32 usually costs around 8-12 euros in Europe. On AliExpress I buy them for 3 (plus shipping). Its worth it if you are buying more than just a few. Shipping is usually slow but if its not urgent its cheap and so far of good/ decent quality.

I did also buy a small industrial camera on there which did not work. I contacted the seller and after some troubleshooting they agreed to ship a new camera to me (still waiting on that one) but in principle I am satisfied with the service for the price I payed.

Its just cleaner to sit, thats it, I am lazy to clean the bathroom every two days
