i think it was a mistake to combine him

need an update on this

Congratulations! Yay grants!

I’ve got kids, so the 31? That’s probably the last day I’ll do work for pay too, but I’ll definitely be working that day.

don't worry, you still have two and a half days to fulfill your monthly post quota

that genuinely sucks :(

my last day was the 20th but that's because I've been a full-time temp for like, a year, and it was mandatory to put me on break without pay for a month

on the bright side, no work for now + got taken on semi-permanently (grant funded research lol)

It'll be deducted from your Post Pay Check.

Did you have a nice vacay?

Same, unfortunately

come to brasil

do the first part but come to Chicago Illinois instead

Ever heard of the "Flabberghaster was Dead All Along" Conspiracy Theory?

I’m usually just trying to find someplace quiet away from my family

Very good!! I kept thinking you said "it's so money" in the video, like a slang idk

Tbh when I see people just sitting in their car in a store parking lot I always think they're there to do drug deals. Not judging tho

In Hungarian folklore we are not supposed to sweep on new year's eve because we'll sweep away good fortune. We eat lentils cos it resembles coin = money. On new year's day the first person to wish you a happy new year ought to be a man. There's loads more but I don't remember, I'll ask my mom because she knows a lot of superstitions like this.

i post a meme about it being december 32. also i change my sheets and try to sweep before new year

Please do talk to a doctor about that, that actually sounds bad and scary. I hope it's nothing

What a good cat!!!

he just couldn't handle your powerful Mood Vibes

Rest in peace bagpipe fella, that's a real shame :(

I usually find somewhere to cry-sing Last Song by Jason Webley as the year turns. Just my little ward against despair.

My stepdad always makes black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread. I am not southern, so it's never really something I've done, but those foods are all great. Maybe I should.

for the past two or three years ive gone and blasted death grips in the tesco car park.

the first year i think i interrupted a couple doing Some thing becuase when i started, a car lit up and very quickly peeled away, and im pretty sure the guy behind the wheel scowled at me more fiercely than any mad animal ive seen

Much obliged! Blood falls is one of my favorite natural phenomena and I love spreading the word about its Weird Microbes whenever possible

Basically, they go something like SO42– → SO32– →S2O32–, which is broadly endergonic, but there's a ton of different electron acceptors in the vicinity which can essentially create the free energy, and also cycle the sulfur between these different forms. it doesn't get eaten up, just kinda tossed around.

It's not fully worked out the exact specifics of the metabolism, but it's some really weird anoxic stuff! the carbon deprivation is another big thing I don't even fully understand - apparently small amounts of carbon 14 are found in samples but it seems much of that is just because the samples are taken from surface outflow (same with how theres a bit of oxygen there, but almost no actual dissolved oxygen in the deep glacial reservoir)
