Also I got a box of Lancets for my blood cloth meter
View attachment 595033
they hurt like hell but are the only one working on my device, it needs 1.5 ml of blood to make the measurement.

thanks mate will look in to them.

Is that a diabetic related thing? My cousin had it and had to check his levels before every meal.

They do have bendable brushes you can buy mostly to clean out the insides of straws but they are useful.

Best option would be something with either very soft bristles or some kind of sponge for cleaning up the straw insides. Not much a strawman meself (haha), but have to clean the homebrew beer kegs and lines periodically. With steel almost anything goes as long is it doesn't get stuck, but with plastics microgrooves are your enemy - and the spot where germs take hold.

You can also let things set in hot water and soap over night with a bit of baking powder makes a cool fizz.

Works like tho ones for diabetic, but this is to measure the time my blood take to create cloths, I have a mechanical valve on my heart so my blood must the thin and do not create cloths easy.

I have to test my blood twice at month to know how many blood thinners I must to take daily.

Thanks mate, and yes they sting like hornets, but there is no too much to do, just bear it.

I was looking to make some OpenPucks for whenever I get my Steam Controller, so I ordered 3 NRF52840 Pro Micros from AliExpress for $13 because they cost the same as one on Amazon. I ordered from AliExpress because I'm in no rush to get them. I also ordered 6 enclosures for them from JLCPCB for $2.15 Canadian. They will be printed in JLC temp resin. I ordered extra in case I break one or 2 of them. So each puck will cost me about $4.41. I might order some 9pin to usb-c cables and plug then direct into my MB and just hide the pucks in my case.

Just saw this thread. I'm a denimhead, I collect jeans and exclusively wear jeans. I do research on denim as a textile etc. Its autistic I know (and I am, its my #1 special interest). I recently bought my last pair of jeans for the year, on Thursday, it was a limited drop.

Its a lot for a pair of jeans to most of you I'm sure, but to me, this is surprisingly cheaper for this specific pair than I was expecting. This pair of jeans uses naturally organic and colored cotton, so you don't have to dye it (and this cotton is green) and green foxfibre is actually the rarest and hardest to grow so its a pretty special jean. I also have jeans made out of 23% real milk, that always gets eyebrows haha! Overall, I'm happy and can't wait for them to arrive! This pair of foxfibre jeans will be my 48th pair.

Some of us are adults that don't drink from bottles.

For straws, push a paper towel through it with something that could slide in [a smaller diameter size straw maybe], and then after that, rinse it in hot water.
