eka_caesium: Can you push a mysterious crystal into the anti-mass spectrometer
azhdrake: Um. Hey I have just enough memories of my science degree to have a question or two about that sentence
toothpastecanyon: We are asking the questions here!!
eka_caesium: XD
eka_caesium: That's literally what it's called in the game
eka_caesium: But yeah like Tooth said don't ask questions!!!!!!!
eka_caesium: Nothing bad will happen!!!
azhdrake: Ignoring the "anti" part of this mass spectrometer, how large is this sample you're analyzing here?
toothpastecanyon: Absolutely ginormous
azhdrake: Yeah I don't think that's going to ionize well?
toothpastecanyon: Why do we want it to unionize?
eka_caesium: Ummm I'd say it was about cat sized
hatkirby: two grams
eka_caesium: https://combineoverwiki.net/images/0/0c/C1a0e_beam03.jpg
azhdrake: Because an injury to one is an injury to all!
eka_caesium: bottom right corner
toothpastecanyon: It’s somewhere in between these answers
eka_caesium: Uh huh
azhdrake: That's... an unconventional looking spectrometer.
hatkirby: i think that's a balls exploder
hatkirby: i remember it from 2013
azhdrake: I'm not sure how you're planning on getting good analysis with the sampler open to the air like that
toothpastecanyon: the end of balls.com...
eka_caesium: Yeah also they used it for exploding balls
eka_caesium: Recreationally
azhdrake: The gas composition within the spectrometer does need to be pretty carefully controlled...
toothpastecanyon: eh I think you can wing it
azhdrake: And to *recreationally* explode balls in company equipment is a gross misuse of resources
azhdrake: Do you have any idea how expensive it is to explode balls with an anti-mass spectrometer?
toothpastecanyon: it's about 2 dollars I think
eka_caesium: Boss makes a dollar I make a dime that's why I explode balls on company time
hatkirby: bees we get it, you read the entire 400 page osha regulations about balls
azhdrake: See this is why we need to unionize it
eka_caesium: Hmmmmm
eka_caesium: Seems like that might get in the way of causing a resonance cascade
eka_caesium: Gordon probably wouldn't be allowed to stand right next to the anti-mass spectrometer anymore
toothpastecanyon: 😔
azhdrake: Also I feel the need to point out that the OSHA regulation about balls would not be concerned with misused resources and how much you're costing your employer it would only care about if the balls being exploded belonged to a worker.
