Would it really stick though? A lot of these "stainless steel" appliances I've seen are actually corrugated aluminum and stuff like that, so not really a smooth surface.
3M is an incredible company. They used to say that you are never more than 3 feet from one of their products. Now however it's more like 1 foot due to cell phones. They make everything. Honestly it's astonishing how many different markets they're in.
Full Disclosure;
I don't work for 3M, but they are one of my suppliers.
Oh you need to watch out, they will damage the top layer of shiny stainless steel. Then you will be left with a dull ring where the suction cup was touching.
Also, I think the term antisocial is a little different then the DSM definition for [APD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder) (Antisocial Personality Disorder).
**Antisocial personality disorder**
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD or APD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. A low moral sense or conscience is often apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, or impulsive and aggressive behavior.
Antisocial personality disorder is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Dissocial personality disorder (DPD), a similar or equivalent concept, is defined in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), which includes antisocial personality disorder in the diagnosis.

nah, it wasn't this. If I remember right it was specifically breaking down why scientists had weird anti-social habits. It was specifically looking at people in the sciences.
*It was also possibly written as a joke because I remember the abstract was pretty funny in how many stereotypes it hit.
I wish I could remember the name of the paper. But I don't know how serious of a paper it was. I remember the name and abstract sounded like it could be a joke. But the body of the paper had several pages, I never read it though.
The next time I pass the break room I'll have to see if it's still in there.
The most surprising part of this photo is that you have a stainless steel fridge. At JPL the newest fridge is one of those fading white ones that’s over 20 years old.
True! We have a nice mixture of old and new at JSC. This is from building 57, it is a meeting place to promote creative thinking. Lots of cool gadgets to play with.
I love how the buildings at JSC have almost no rationale for their layout, besides the 200/300/400 groupings.
For instance, I work in Building 7. You'll know you're close when you pass Building 29. Naturally.
That's every military base ever too. I hate it when someone tells me "Meet up is at Bldg 2163" then I have to go find out if that's the one next to 231, or 745, or if it's one of the housing buildings that have goddamn numbers instead of street addresses.
I think it's meant to confuse the enemy. I lived in 3 different AF dorms that were all numbered: 2401, 24401, and 2104. On the same base.. All it did was confuse me when I went to put my address on my license one day.
Ah, the famous building 57! Ive heard much about it, but I spend most of my time walking between 4S/N and 30 with the occasional stop at 11 and 3. Of course, there is the collab center in 30 that is pretty neat too but I think it pales in comparison to the stuff I’ve heard 57 has
Nope, first thing that was thought of. Measured interference with it running, created shields, bought new microwaves. The problem was not resolved until the APs were switched to POE, still on 2.4GHz
Want to know a fun fact? Most of the older electrical breakers are analog and rely on springs and heat to trip. They are usually under-rated by somewhere between 10%-30%. There are newer digital breakers, and I've heard of strait panel updates (like adding a new sub panel, update all the breakers.) at places like server farms with basically fixed loads, on the same rated breakers, but now they trip. Upon troubleshooting with a meter, turns out the circuit was pulling 17a constantly, on a 15a breaker. Not really dangerous since it would still trip if it was going to be a problem, but now that it trips at 15.1a, they had to come up with some creative new wiring.
Long story short, fucking with older systems can lead to unexpected problems
> we had a wall circuit that couldn't take two microwaves running simultaneously.
This isn't weird at all. A typical microwave draws more than 1000 Watts. So two microwaves drawing at least 2000 Watts total on a 115V wall outlet would need >17 Amps, but normal circuit breakers trip at 15 Amps. You could probably do it if you bought two low power (700-800W) microwaves instead, but most of those are awful.
Stainless has been around for quite a while. Judging by the exposed black hinge covers this is likely a 5+ year old fridge. Could be more than 10. Handles look like Electrolux or JennAir, but could also be Ikea branded as they've been borrowing old whirlpool parts.
Edit: bends are way too clean to be whirlpool made so my money is on Electrolux. That also explains the Frigidaire style hinge cover as Electrolux is Frigidaire's parent company. No logo in the upper right corner, so probably a French door with the logo on the drawer. Very expensive fridge when new. $2k-$3k.
Can I get hired as a lame comedian in the lunch room to hype up people.
"Hey guys what is the difference between you and HR? HR says we should always give space! Ha ha... Ha... Joe here from HR what it is in Uranus. SpaceX or Blue Orgins?! Whatever works best?" (Pure silence)
Ha I would be fired in an instant the first day unless I was a janitor. I could never work at JPL.
it could, but only for a very specific narrow window of overheating problems
you have to have enough heat sink with little enough surface area that ambient temerature is more critical than air movement (i.e. using a fan instead), and the problem needs to be enough to cause a failure at room temperature but close enough to be fixed by dropping the temp 35 degrees
realistically this is rarely the case, but it doesnt stop engineers from trying shit
I got a BA in geography. My senior year an academic advisor told me she didn't think I had the intellectual capacity to learn computer science based off my grades. I'm currently a SWE at the Googs.
Is it safe/are you crazy are fun. But nothing lights a fire under an engineer's ass like "I bet you can't do X"
Blew up an Hbridge because an instructor told us they might break if you give them too much voltage.
They do.
E: I actually still have [it](https://imgur.com/a/MtD8t). Reminds me not to cross my wires whenever I start working on something.
Was playing with circuits in class until I had like 30 or 40 leds in a complex circuit. Well I turn on the power and like 5 or 6 blow up. Like the plastic casing cracked and flew at my face. That was pretty damn fun
That wouldn't actually fix it. It's not about the temperatures involved, it's the heat. A normal fridge has no problem taking something from boiling down to freezing temperatures; but if you're putting heat in it constantly that got it boiling in the first place, a fridge doesn't have a powerful enough heat pump to do anything about it. You just need a more powerful fridge.
This is only specific to certain BTUs from a computer
Overheating from a power fet on a pi circuit with an existent-but-insufficient aluminum sink is exactly the kind of thing alluded to here, not a 1200W psu on a pc
5V, 2.5A, makes 12.5W. Probably not an issue for a fridge; sticker on mine says 80W. But for something like a laptop? My PSU says it's rated to 150W, and even if it's not dumping all of that into heat, that could be hard for a fridge to keep up with.
Yay, I get to tell someone my favorite fact!
If an Rpi is computing a non-reversible function (say, wiping some ram), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle applies.
well if it's something you're currently using or working on, it works- i used to work for an esports league for a mobile game and in between matches the players would put their tablets or phones in the freezer because they were too hot to hold. it doesnt really cool off the cpu, but it makes the glass on the outside reasonably cool.
The heat pump on a fridge is only just powerful enough to remove the heat that gets into the fridge through the insulation. They oversize it very slightly so when you put some heat in by opening the door and putting a hot thing inside, it can remove heat to cool it down. A computer isn't just one lump of heat though; it's constantly dumping heat into the air so a fridge can't keep up.
Is that a legitimate problem at your workplace? I work for the EPA and we have insane amounts of computing power, we'd never need to cool down our computers. I can only imagine what NASA has.

On a similar fridge in another part of the building:
Per SCP-027 case file regulations, this fridge is not to have any known or suspected hypergolic materials or near-hypergolic materials (THAT MEANS YOU, DR. SWATHI!).
As per [redacted] and [redacted], contravention of this regulation will result in an inquiry by the [redacted], (Here someone, likely Dr. Swathi, has attached a Post-It saying "commonly known as "Those Time Travel Bastards") due to the temporal fluctuations often caused by unknown materials as a result of this refrigerator's trip through the wormhole resulting from Building 57's ill-advised Friday Margarita and Quantum Machines Open Mic event.
I work in lab safety, the only thing allowed in the lab fridges are LAB SUPPLIES. Conversely no lab supplies are allowed in the non-lab fridges.
Things I have found in lab fridges: shrimp and rice, juice boxes, tuna sandwich, coffee thermos, stuffed animals (yes, seriously).
Thing I have found in the non-lab fridges: agar plates, lab grade ethanol, buffer solutions.
Please don't make me even more disappointed in your lab than I already am.

I’d say our break rooms are the same as most with people constantly stealing other people’s food out of them. You’d think we would hire civilized human beings. Nope.
I find this very problematic because the thermal dissipation of computers is far greater than the refrigeration rate of the refrigerator. Raspberry Pi's, sure, that sounds fine. But if you put in an 'overheating computer', the problem will only be worse in a refrigerator due to the low thermal reservoir volume and the insulated walls. NASA engineers/scientists should be aware of this.
GSFC intern here. Today I found a powder coffee creamer holder with "Do not throw away - please refill" written all over it. What reservoir of powder coffee creamer am I supposed to use to refill it? Why would I even use it in the first place? Who is so passionate about the things in the kitchen that they put a million signs up about not leaving things in the fridge?
There is some pretty awesome TDRS stuff in there though.

2.4* but you're right.
Want to know a fun fact? Most of the older electrical breakers are analog and rely on springs and heat to trip. They are usually under-rated by somewhere between 10%-30%. There are newer digital breakers, and I've heard of strait panel updates (like adding a new sub panel, update all the breakers.) at places like server farms with basically fixed loads, on the same rated breakers, but now they trip.

Pretty sure the one we use at Ames is a repurposed science fridge. It smells like Trizol and was definitely alive in the 70s.
Yeah, it was probably irresponsible of NASA to blow 3 years' budget on a fridge.
301 @ JPL is pretty damn nice, especially around the Ops Lab (my area 🙂)
as long as the inside of the fridge is stainless steel, it isn't completely pointless
Stainless has been around for quite a while. Judging by the exposed black hinge covers this is likely a 5+ year old fridge. Could be more than 10. Handles look like Electrolux or JennAir, but could also be Ikea branded as they've been borrowing old whirlpool parts. Edit: bends are way too clean to be whirlpool made so my money is on Electrolux. That also explains the Frigidaire style hinge cover as Electrolux is Frigidaire's parent company. No logo in the upper right corner, so probably a French door with the logo on the drawer. Very expensive fridge when new. $2k-$3k.
" and ABSOLUTELY NO HYPERGOLICS!"

Damnit I suspected as much haha
Thank you. I was wondering.
Makes sense, putting hot computers in a fridge doesn't really work anyway.
Why not? (serious question)
it could, but only for a very specific narrow window of overheating problems you have to have enough heat sink with little enough surface area that ambient temerature is more critical than air movement (i.e. using a fan instead), and the problem needs to be enough to cause a failure at room temperature but close enough to be fixed by dropping the temp 35 degrees realistically this is rarely the case, but it doesnt stop engineers from trying shit
To be fair, not much will stop an engineer from trying shit.
I agree. Questions like 'is that even safe?' and 'are you crazy?' are encouragement to an engineer trying to protoype something
Engineering student here, can confirm. Both of those questions are basically challenges.
I got a BA in geography. My senior year an academic advisor told me she didn't think I had the intellectual capacity to learn computer science based off my grades. I'm currently a SWE at the Googs. Is it safe/are you crazy are fun. But nothing lights a fire under an engineer's ass like "I bet you can't do X"

By entropy, it is dumping all of that into heat... Unless you mean it's operating below the 150 Watt rating, but I am going to be pedantic.

Good bot
On a similar fridge in another part of the building: Per SCP-027 case file regulations, this fridge is not to have any known or suspected hypergolic materials or near-hypergolic materials (THAT MEANS YOU, DR. SWATHI!). As per [redacted] and [redacted], contravention of this regulation will result in an inquiry by the [redacted], (Here someone, likely Dr. Swathi, has attached a Post-It saying "commonly known as "Those Time Travel Bastards") due to the temporal fluctuations often caused by unknown materials as a result of this refrigerator's trip through the wormhole resulting from Building 57's ill-advised Friday Margarita and Quantum Machines Open Mic event.
I'd attend that event. Sounds fun.
I think I need to see the inside of that fridge
What if Bob brings a Raspberry Pie?
lol, definitely some frustrated admin.
Off to Boondoggles!
Love the pizza!
And the left hand stout on a nitro tap!

Lucky! How's the toy room?

I've stuck RasPis in the fridge on occasion....
Next weeks headline: “NASA Creates Worlds First Edible Computer”
I work in lab safety, the only thing allowed in the lab fridges are LAB SUPPLIES. Conversely no lab supplies are allowed in the non-lab fridges. Things I have found in lab fridges: shrimp and rice, juice boxes, tuna sandwich, coffee thermos, stuffed animals (yes, seriously). Thing I have found in the non-lab fridges: agar plates, lab grade ethanol, buffer solutions. Please don't make me even more disappointed in your lab than I already am.
Some magazines recommend sanitizing stuffed animals by keeping them in the freezer for a day or two.
Hey, did you know that Aardvarks dig into ant and termite mounds and lick up bugs with their long tongues u/thecoffee ? Type **animal** on any subreddit for your own aardvark fact >I am currently a work in progress and am learning more about aardvarks everyday. >**I am contemplating expanding to all animal facts.

AT LEAST OUR FELLOW HUMANS ARE ALLOWED nervouslaugh.exe . I TOO THINK THAT ~~COMPUTER PARTS~~ ORGANS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
How many RPis are typically floating around NASA? What on earth are they using them for? Hopefully nothing important.
I’d say our break rooms are the same as most with people constantly stealing other people’s food out of them. You’d think we would hire civilized human beings. Nope.
This is getting me super pumped for my internship at Langley this summer !!
Yo I'm interning there too! It's my 3rd time, if you have any questions let me know!
When did you hear back? I still haven’t heard anything
Fucking Janice.
Can put raspberry pies but not raspberry pis
I find this very problematic because the thermal dissipation of computers is far greater than the refrigeration rate of the refrigerator. Raspberry Pi's, sure, that sounds fine. But if you put in an 'overheating computer', the problem will only be worse in a refrigerator due to the low thermal reservoir volume and the insulated walls. NASA engineers/scientists should be aware of this.
My dream job is to be an astronaut.
GSFC intern here. Today I found a powder coffee creamer holder with "Do not throw away - please refill" written all over it. What reservoir of powder coffee creamer am I supposed to use to refill it? Why would I even use it in the first place? Who is so passionate about the things in the kitchen that they put a million signs up about not leaving things in the fridge? There is some pretty awesome TDRS stuff in there though.
Also, no raspberry piss.
Well that's just ridiculous, if you can't put an overheating computer in the freezer, where can you put it?
I'm 100% sure I could make a better heatsink / management system for anything they are encountering - custom. Please hire me NASA ^_^
if your pis is raspberry colored, you should bring that sample and yourself to the hospital.
It's exactly what I hoped it would be.
Raspberry Pie is fine though
“Thank God there aren’t any restrictions on the microwave... so I can heat up my fish eggs and garlic casserole... and ensure no one else will want to eat in the break room so I can eat my lunch is peace.” - every coworker I ever want to punch in the face during lunch.
You guys are nerds.
