Semester is over and some big vet bills have popped up, so I've decided to open commissions for custom stained glass pieces — terms of service and submission form here! Not first come first served, and I'll leave this open until my queue for the next month or so is full. forms.gle/rr8vunzBEKzH...

With all labwork sorted, it's time to proofread some paper drafts! But why do that in a stuffy, non-airconditioned office when I have a perfectly good balcony at home?

Guess which idiot didn't take bridge day off. Yeah, it's me. Kinda feels like I'm doing clandestine drug-related things, completely alone at the lab. Oh well. *presses some more samples into pellets* At least there's nobody here to get on my nerves! :E

As always, when my car gets its summer tires put on, I borrow mom's car for a day or two. It has a roof that opens, how crazy is that?!

The Yeen “tobacco” card collection (tobacco in quotes cuz some are from tea companies or sports card companies, or like my favorite in the upper right, a chocolate company!)

Computer issues? Have you tried the Black Mesa troubleshooting process? *whacks it*

Guess who picked up another old plasma display! This one is from 2009 and will be going back to its birthplace (Hungary) to replace the other (used) one I have there that died.

How to scare your Geiger counter.

Happy International Hyena Day everyeen!! #art #animalart #hyena #internationalhyenaday

The Airbus A380 flew for the first time on this day in 2005. Happy 20th anniversary! www.flightradar24.com/blog/aircraf...

Yeen day falls on the same day as my mother's birthday, so there's no chance of missing it. Celebrated both occasions by taking her to our fave steakhouse. We used to go here regularly when there was something to celebrate, but these days, it's usually just once a year, maybe twice.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

"lol do we even have anything that would read this?" Uh, yeah?? All the DOS machines have floppy drives? "Physically, yes, but do they still work?" Try that one! I rest my case. Back when IBM built quality shit instead of whatever they're even doing these days.

I get a small fright every time I see Harald Glööööckler. What even is that thing supposed to be? Is this a terrible accident? Does it need help? How?

I get that people, especially artists, sometimes repost their own work to get more exposure, and that's fine and normal. But don't mass-repost your stuff all at once. If I have to regularly keep scrolling through dozens of your unending reposts at once, I'll probably unfollow. :(

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/) File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

This is still my happy place, especially when I'm not doing that well mentally. I sometimes outright look forward to my commute, even in this shitty weather. Yes, I'm that weird.

That look when you’re this close to asking… “So uh… got any games on your phone? Maybe something with tennis balls?” 🎾🐶📲 📸: @stripeyyena.bsky.social

Looks like someone is ready to have some fun, don’t go too easy on him~ An absolutely incredible piece done by @sei_kasu on twt It is gorgeous, and I cannot stop staring at it

First day back at work after the Zombie Jesus holidays. Waste hopper of the coffee machine is full, water tank empty, water filter jug almost empty. The skylight is leaking, flanges are overtightened, log files are not running despite me repeatedly nagging people to have them active. Guh. *grump*

Yes, hello, I'm back. Get up at 2:30 in the morning and drive all day. Why not!

Whenever I'm in Budapest, I also get to enjoy my venerable Creative I-Trigue 3330 speaker system from 2005. I thought it had issues, so I brought it here due to much rarer use, but the issue turned out to be unrelated to the speakers. I just like the look (and sound) of these mid-2000s things. :)

Pope meets J.D. Vance and then dies. A relatable reaction.
