A biology degree and a commitment to work for non-profits at minimum wage for the rest of your career. An animal health tech or veterinary degree would also help.

Often you can start as a volunteer helping to prepare the food, and then work your way up as positions become available.

Nah, It’s one of those new wireless CDs - you just press it to the top of the laptop and it automatically downloads (like wireless charging). /s

Reply to How can I measure the length of string passing through something? by Dabrush

Low- tech ish: Cut thread into the lengths you want it to be spooled to. Then time how long that takes to wind. Repeat several times. Time your winder to run that length of time. Run a few batches spooled from longer string for the time period. Check the length on the spools would for the time to make sure they are the correct length.

Maybe add 5% length to make sure your customer are always getting at least the predetermined length, to prevent less than a full measure ever being provided.
