fanfic writers: if you were shown nothing but the title of one of your own fics, do you think you would be able to remember which one it is

me, after clearing my schedule to write:

uhhhh it was raining… and dark (and also night) and um… cold i guess?? anyway, something dramatic~ happened

me, stuck in traffic on my way to work:

Rain tumbled through midnight leaves, casting the forest in liquid moonlight. A low growl shook the horizon. Death had come.

The autoclave is designed to kill schmucks I think

image

It’s a 24yo Tomy SS-325 if it helps, it beeps once when it finishes counting down and beeps again when it finishes depressurizing, the steam is about 90-100c by then iirc

#top loading autoclave??? how do you get your trays out without toughing the sides?

With its basket! It comes with two of them

What’s an autoclave?

Are those ink markers?

It’s essentially a superpowered pressure cooker designed to get hot and high pressure enough to kill EVERYTHING. Including mold spores. They’re used to sterilise equipment.

Those aren’t markers, they’re tubes of fluid that OP wants to be sterile. It’s common practice to autoclave things like nutrient broth before inoculating them with bacteria, to kill off any contamination and make sure that you only grow whatever you put in there to grow.

stuff should beep less. but especially this stuff.

My breadmaker beeps at every step of the breadmaking process, but at least if I open it when it’s rising it doesn’t shoot mould-killing high pressure steam directly into my face

…OH.

I googled it once and the only reason why the Great Lakes aren’t called inland seas is because they are entirely freshwater, not salt.

By any other metric they’d be seas. Superior especially (the big one in the upper left) behaves like a small ocean, and has claimed at least 250 ships and over 1000 people. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a frankly chilling song about her that I’ll include here:


Reblogging for the map as well as for Gordon Lightfoot.
