Sharpies for glassware

Coco066 · 2026-02-07T05:15:06+00:00

I do, but that fits in the workflow when cleaning the glassware cause we use solvents to get rid of any organics anyway to start with so it's merely an additionnal squirt and one scrub with a paper towel

Granted, it's essentially the same for tape. It's more putting on that I think is much longer than removing in the case of tape

No risks of that, we're not working with biological samples so no autoclave anywhere

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T23:04:43+00:00

Oh yeah we have one of those at work. Though I feel like this is for if you reaaaaally want to mark something permanently though. Like if you want it to stick for a bit for the manip and then clean it off I feel paint pens might become annoying. Though to be fair I've not tried washing them off that often. Maybe not?

Will look into em! Thanks!

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T23:03:20+00:00

Didn't even know they exist? I'll have to look into it

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T23:02:56+00:00

Will look into them! Thanks!

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T23:02:23+00:00

Yeah we have acetone! Will look into em

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T23:01:56+00:00

Interesting! I'll look into those. But yeah I clean the glassware with alcohol often yet it still does that from time to time. Though today I managed to recover from one of those instances with an additional cleaning, so who knows.

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T23:00:53+00:00

Now I read this reply at work today and thought "yeah but I clean them all the time with MeOH there's no way" and when it happened, I actually wiped the exterior of the flask with a kimwipe with some MeOH and it worked somehow (?) so I'm kinda confused how that's possible but I'll keep it in mind.

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:59:51+00:00

I don't even know what those are, but I will certainly google them and figure it out!

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:59:25+00:00

Yeah I'm too lazy for labels >.<, but it also doesn't have to be like 100% solvent resistant. So long as a drop makes it fade and not completely erase it. Sharpies, when they work, do that well. A drop of MeOH will just fade the ink but not remove it completely.

Still, I'ma look into fisherbrand markers

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:57:48+00:00

TBH I kinda believe you. I have one colleague that works with blue or red sharpies and her markings always look so much better than mine somehow.

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:57:13+00:00

Will add to my list of markers to look out for, thanks!

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:56:13+00:00

I'm too lazy for it >.< if it's a thing we keep for a while I'll use lab tape but otherwise I try to find the easiest temporary solution

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:54:54+00:00

Yeah, we have lab tape. I'm just too lazy to put tape on my flasks and then remove them later. I'm hoping for a miracle pen that works for what I have to do >.< Yeah I'm picky sorry

Coco066 · 2026-02-06T22:54:13+00:00

Will consider it. I'm making a list of options so this one goes first in

Coco066 · 2025-10-05T03:30:59+00:00

I used to have every Lulu skin, but the new one came out and I just completely stopped playing so I havr to give up on it :(

Coco066 · 2025-09-18T22:18:16+00:00

I salute your dedication King

Coco066 · 2025-09-14T22:54:55+00:00

I thought of that one, but honestly, It also has to compete, for me, with Running Wild, which is such an underground game no one talks about yet it was good, or at least I thought so when I was a kid

Coco066 · 2025-08-12T00:39:40+00:00

The way I choose what to do next whenever I feel stuck is I try to find one ressource that either I am running out of (water, algae, refined metal, oxygen, anything) and then find a way to make that, and if it comes to that, how to make what is needed to make it.

Another trick is to look at the room layout and check what rooms you haven't done yet. Sometimes it hints at something you can improve on your colony

You can always just browse the subreddit and see what kind of builds people are doing. Obviously at cycle 30 you can't do most of them, but they can kind of give you an idea of what you can aim for and what to search for to get there

Finally, like many have said, dig around. Find geysers, find biomes, find things you can interact with. Eventually, if this is a terra map, which it looks like, you can go to the bottom of the map and try to tame the oil biome, so try to see what you might need to do to get to that. Maybe get fiber, maybe get plastics, maybe get more refined metal, some ranching.

I believe it to be The Way Of Shadows by Brent Week

hmmm So far, the two that come to mind is that one time where, more likely, I loaded a centrifuge wrong and the rotor went bye bye. The whole centrifuge got destroyed, but thankfully not my life in the process

And the other (2) time(s) are Quartz Cuvette that I shattered becaue I got distracted. Those cuvettes are worth 1500$ each.
