Instant 24/7 access? Do we allow for this? And how?

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Just thought I would point this out, since it came up earlier in the dues thread. But, Marc's point(a very good marketing point about 24/7 access), has as a big security exception, we didn't really talk about, probably mostly because of time. Basically, it's easy for us to think "hey, we should let this person have access, because they seem cool, and we want to remain open," but even I get sketched out at night sometimes, and there are real safety issues at work here, and we … [View More]

Biofridge

by Craig Rouskey

Hello all, last night at the general meeting Marc and I brought up the use of a small fridge at Sudo for use as a reagents storage fridge (bio fridge). 15 folks consented to the use of the fridge to store reagents associated with the propagation of Gonorrhea. THERE WILL BE NO GONORRHEA in the fridge, just the agar plates and broth we need to culture the organism at a later date in our community lab. I just wanted to see if there were any e-objections. If not, I will Devon and start storing … [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Help with dinner tonight? (WAS: Food and the absence therein)

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Ive been making soups in the crockpot and can continue doing the same. I left miso and greens in the fridge, another stop at Koreana Plaza for rice noodles, oyster mushrooms, green onion, and tofu should do. Feel free to grab other things for a soup too. The trick is to heat up the crockpot with a bit of water or soup base, then use the water boiler above the sink for the boiling. Basically a simple hotspot, nothing needs more than a 10 minutes of hot water to cook. // Matt ----- Reply … [View More]
