Chemistry glassware
Another video found on peertube, This is looking at Tapered ground glass joints | Introduction to chemistry: Glassware
This is a useful topic as it is important to be familiar with what lab equipment is used. This video covers how to join tapered glassware together, how to seal and remove correctly. What you can do if joints get stuck. It also gives a brief look at joint sizes e.g 25/40 where 25 40 is the length and 25 is the size of the largest part of the taper. The video makes it clearer.

Raspberry Pi Xmas tree
I was sent a Raspberry Pi xmas tree module last year and have just got round to setting it up. Results with some example code (below) seem pretty good. Most of the LEDs work.
from gpiozero import LEDBoard
from gpiozero.tools import random_values
from signal import pause
tree = LEDBoard(*range(2,28),pwm=True)
for led in tree:
led.source_delay = 0.1
led.source = random_values()
pause()
