I meant that to cheer me up I'm making a big plate of salsa covered mac/cheese!
I thought I was the only one who did that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I'm also prone to putting caesar salad dressing in pasta sauce if it's tomato-based instead of cheese-based.
It sounds like your testing facilities ought to be underground in the middle of a desert, to damp out temperature changes and noises from humans clattering around!
High end materials science kind of annoys me. It's great and all that we're coming with all these great materials that can do anything you need, but they rarely last anywhere near as long as simple stuff. The tolerances are so fine or the makeup so bizarre that high tech stuff just breaks quickly. How many applications of your nano-polymer-film will still be functional a couple decades from now? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
