@fuzzmanmatt,Yes, if you can fit a small grill in there-why not? You can sanitize the chicken nuggets after you cook’um!! Dispose of the charcoal properly, Please.
The Scottish Fold is a breed of domestic cat with a natural dominant-gene mutation that affects cartilage throughout the body, causing the ears to “fold”, bending forward and down towards the front of the head, which gives the cat what is often described as an “owl-like” appearance
@haydesigner@Kevfin@unksol Oh, that’s sad. I do think they’re cute, but I’m all in favor of hybrid vigor myself - every cat I’ve had has been a mutt kitty.
"The British Veterinary Association said that, unlike dogs, most cats do not have any pedigree.
They said about 80% of cats were just plain “moggies” but they were worried that social media was driving a fashion for designer cats who were bred for appearance rather than health."
I mean yes there are some breeds but pet cats are just cats. Dogs were bred more for working traits. Breeding just for a genetic defect… Cause it’s cute. And cats are notoriously difficult as far as recognizing pain.
Like most pets avoid breeders. Shelter will have plenty of kitties
@haydesigner@Kevfin@unksol Yeah, I saw that. You’re preaching to the choir - I don’t approve of designer breeds, cats OR dogs. Those bulldogs who have breathing problems - that’s horrible.
Is there actual science that says UV is worth it? Not like “Today show” science but like real world benefit. It feels like the type of thing that’s made up but I don’t want to be wrong about something helpful.
Back a month or two ago when meh offered the sharper image sanitizer I went to their website to check the reviews and the negative ones all complained about it smelling like burnt hair afterwards and turning their white plastic devices yellow.
Like, cool, that means it’s actually UV-C.
Best review was “my other sanitizer doesn’t emit this awful odor!”
lol, that’s because your other one is essentially fake.
@CatsAreGods@DoctorOW@Knightp That’s why they’re so expensive – they can’t just be encased in clear plastic like a normal LED. They typically have a glass or sapphire covering.
@flehm@JvB@mike808 think I may have a cooked bird or at least one that glows in the dark if I used one of those on him. Have 2 uv lights in my inside heat pump unit to prevent mold in the system and around the coils and was told not to look at the light for an extended period of time when changing the filter.
@flehm@JvB@mike808@tinamarie1974 Don’t worry Walter is safe. My wife says I care more about Walter than I do about her. I’d say they are running neck and neck.
I was wondering if this would work as a resin print curing chamber, but after looking in to it, I think not. This is a UV-C (~253ish nm) and most resin stations cure with double band UV leds, which are closer to 405nm.
I’m certainly open to correction, however, as I don’t have a resin printer…yet.
@mechno you’re correct the wavelengths needed are different. UV-C doesn’t penetrate surfaces very deep, so if it did cure resin it would only be the outside layers.
This is beyond meh, it’s stupid.
Take care of your stuff, keep it clean, avoid bringing home suspect items, and don’t rely on questionably effective items like this.
@Willijs3 when I built myself a uvc box out of a cooler I used a small wire rack to elevate the item being cleaned . Presuming this has reflective inner material that would fix the problem.
Does anyone have any photos of the LEDs? so many of these things are blue plastic LEDs and 1 single ceramic UV-C (which isn’t going to do enough in these things).

Can I cook chicken nuggets in it?

Did the case shrink Irk?!?!??!
@tinamarie1974 irk now has cancer.
@arbdef @tinamarie1974
Maybe Irk will just get a “Caribbean Tan”
@arbdef OMG!!
🥺
Nice zappy zap bag, plz add to my Instant Regret Kit.
@shinyhat I had the same thought!
I don’t get the tshirt joke…

@haydesigner @Kevfin I actually thought it was
betterless bad than the usual tee shirt joke.@haydesigner @Kevfin @Kyeh for what it’s worth

Falls into the WTF? column…

@DoctorOW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal_irradiation Think this is it.
@DoctorOW @Knightp …assuming they really emit UV-C at the correct frequency and power…which is unlikely for anything in this price range.
@CatsAreGods @Knightp
So the UV phone sanitizer seems like a bad idea
@DoctorOW @Knightp Come to think of it…wouldn’t UV-C LEDs be a bad idea?

@CatsAreGods @DoctorOW @Knightp real UV-C LEDs are made of ceramics and have a quartz lens…

Would this even work? Asking for, well, everyone.
@guybrush01 The only person who actually tested it on Amazon reported it’s not likely to work.
@CatsAreGods @guybrush01 I just assume that anything on Amazon that uses Chinese parentheses (i.e.【 】) in the product description is fake.
I like how the amazon link says Portable-Underwear-Toothbrush. Now that would be an interesting item!

@Knightp
Can I clean and or tan my hamster in this?
@flehm Don’t know. Can you field dress your hamster if it doesn’t work?
@flehm maybe hampster jerky?
@flehm @JvB For Walter and @Felton10
@flehm @JvB @mike808 think I may have a cooked bird or at least one that glows in the dark if I used one of those on him.

@Felton10 @flehm @JvB @mike808 no, no. Not Walter, we like him around here!
@flehm @JvB @mike808 @tinamarie1974 Don’t worry Walter is safe. My wife says I care more about Walter than I do about her. I’d say they are running neck and neck.
@Felton10 @flehm @JvB @mike808 @tinamarie1974 I mean tomorrow might be the day to make sure you’re on her side. Just saying

Finally a way to sanitize the dirt your kids will invariably eat.
@rmeden that defeats the whole beneficial aspects of your kids eating dirt. Unless you live in or near a EPA superfund site, anyway …
This is beyond meh, it’s stupid.
Take care of your stuff, keep it clean, avoid bringing home suspect items, and don’t rely on questionably effective items like this.
@stolicat Smarter than spending $55 at Amazon at least
@stolicat Everything handled in shipping is a suspect item.

That’s quite a party going on in that there box!
At least it’s not a battery or a bluetooth speaker.
@ChrisHBelAir for $29 it should also be a Bluetooth speaker and double as a portable battery. Why can’t I charge my phone while it santizes??
@caffeineguy @ChrisHBelAir My Sharper Image one lets me charge while I santitize uwu
What about the bottom of the item. If the magical light doesn’t hit it, it can’t get “clean.”
@Willijs3 when I built myself a uvc box out of a cooler I used a small wire rack to elevate the item being cleaned . Presuming this has reflective inner material that would fix the problem.
Awesome, I’ve been looking for a lunch bag that can sanitize my food!
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
Does anyone have any photos of the LEDs? so many of these things are blue plastic LEDs and 1 single ceramic UV-C (which isn’t going to do enough in these things).
I’d be down for a portable auto-claving bag
soooo basically it’s a tanning booth for a gerbil.
@alacrity or one of those hairless kittens
Nicest lunch bag I ever had… would have been better if it would warm up the food though
