How do researchers determine how toxic a chemical is? A toxicologist explains alternatives to animal testing
Thousands of chemicals in industry havenβt been thoroughly tested for their safety and toxicity. Researchers are working to standardize quicker, cheaper and more ethical methods to assess chemicals.The Conversation

Hallway in West Village Walk-Up
21 March 2014. West Village, NYC. This improbably tight hallway, in a West Village walk-up, is similar to one seen in the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis". I like that you have to share a doormat with your neighbor.Flickr
Matt Blaze reshared this.
Captured with a small mirrorless camera and 50mm lens.
This hallway reminded me of a sight gag in the Coens' "Inside Llewyn Davis". I like that the two neighbors have to share a doormat.
The starkly bare hallway and contrasting tones between the walls and the doors and floor make this as much a study in abstract shapes as it is about urban living.
Matt Blaze reshared this.
"Who designed this?" you might ask.
Small NYC brownstones such as the one shown here were generally either built from the start as multi-family tenements, or were built as single-family homes and later subdivided into apartments. In the former case, the layout into individual units was part of the original design and generally fairly sane. In the latter case, landlords often tried to squeeze every square inch of rentable space out of the existing layout, at the expense of things like hallways.
Matt Blaze reshared this.
I mean you can't sleep in a hallway now can you ?
At USC there used to be a design contest at the Architecture school for putting the maximum number of living spaces into the smallest number of square feet. Each 'unit' had to support two adults, cooking, bathing, a bathroom, and a place to sleep.
One of the students called it 'smooshed camping' which sort of stuck with me.

On a lighter #electronics note, this is the bestest solder sucker that I have ever used and I love it dearly. About the only thing I'd change I'd make would be to make the body longer (not necessarily the piston volume) to make it a bit better-fitting for my clumsy hands.
The main upside of this one is that it is all-metal, so the button lock doesn't wear out in like 50 uses, unlike the standard variety of these.

"Elon Musk is not engaged in an βefficiency driveβ. He is not trying to save money. He is trying to cripple the state and destroy the public sector, since oligarchs of his ilk think these are by nature a waste of money and that their functions should be privatized. Media should report it as such."

A digital painting shows a young woman with pale skin, long white hair, and pale blue eyes. She faces to the left, looking up to the right with a slight smile. She wears a blue tunic and dark pants with a brown leather belt and bracers. A white shawl with a fur collar is draped over her shoulders. She holds a wooden axe with blue and orange flames coming from the head. Behind her, a faint face is visible. The background is a dark blue sky with a crescent moon and small stars. The artist's signature is in the lower right corner.
