Bunsen burners’ reputation for sterilizing workplaces flames out in c/science@lemmy.world
[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Open flames are not a thing in lab settings. It's too damn dangerous, would interfere with positive/negative pressure spaces, and sterility is now maintained with sterile single use items.

Current blanket project in c/crochet@lemmy.ca
[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

It should be about 41x41 inches when done. I try to stay around 40x40 inches so these can be used as wheelchair or lap blankets for my donation group. The group does ask for twin sized projects too for things like dialysis or hospice but I find that this acrylic yarn gets extremely heavy at that size.

I finally made it to 90 out of 100 squares for this blanket. I got 10 squares left and then I can start joining everything. This project hasn't taken me as long as I thought but at least I have the next blanket already lined up.

I'm really glad it wasn't a bird too.

Super Brakeout. But only if you can get the paddle controllers.

I don't know about the rest of the boob havers around here but I quit doing cartwheels the first time my tits hit me hard in the chin doing a cartwheel. Safety consciousness takes some of the whimsy out of it.

Omg I gave up after line 500. Just why??? This list is like an incel's fantasy Death Note. Just sad really.

We really need some sort of law here that if you can't provide proof of life and competence then you vacate your political office. I'm sick of these fucking geriatrics clinging to a job they can no longer perform.

Why Aren't there More Fem-Focused Werewolf Stories? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So the movie Dog Soldiers is a favorite popcorn movie that has female werewolf in it. On a more serious note the book Moondance by Sumtow is an amazing novel that delves into so many different themes and folklore surrounding werewolves. It's one of my favorite novels.

Dude I've been having a shitty day and this comment has got me laughing so hard. Thanks for the pick-me-up.

Finally finished all 81 granny squares for this 40x40 inch blanket. I think I'm going to regret my choices once I start joining them.

Saw this nice guy/gal in front of my shed this morning when I took the dog out. The dog was completely oblivious and I was able to get a nice pic without scaring it off.

I was curious if anyone knows anything about the large delay for content coming in from lemmy.world? There's a discussion over there in one of fediverse communities and apparently we're like a week behind in receiving data.

Tarantula mid molt (mander.xyz)
 

Here's another old picture from my vault. This is one of our Greenbottle blue tarantulas (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens). We spent the day watching this little guy molt from start to finish and took pictures of the whole process. You can see in this picture that he is laid out on his back on his molting malt. At this stage he has split from the carapace lengthwise down the sides and is currently pulling his legs out of the molt. We had two at the time and wanted to breed them but they both turned out to males.

Here's a pic of my favorite little guy and one the only good pictures I've ever taken. Unfortunately he turned out to be a male so I didn't have him too long but he was a great tarantula to keep.
