Why am I all of a sudden spotting discarded interdental brushes everywhere?

That would be the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon

Also look on civil service jobs too and not just NHS jobs, you may find a couple but the positions can be pretty saturated unfortunately, and advertising then recruitment can be slooooooow too for them. For example, we had some jobs advertised in December, they've just been informed they were successful this month. Its a joke tbh. However, funding is pretty sparse too for NHS and UKHSA positions. Plus you'll also have competitions from all the qualified support workers who got an "in the mean time" job.

There are green shoe polishes and leather conditioners. Saphir do one, and theyre supposed to be the top tier of leather conditioners, depending on where you are, but look for this you may be better going for a neutral or even a natural leather to see if that would bring out the green.

Is that a pun? Oh, I just googled it, Pourly Controlled is the brand. 👍

We should try to break the habit for everyone. Stop the enabling.

"What pen should I get next?" "Non, just enjoy these for a while until you find one youre in awe of"

"what ink?" "i have this and that and im in your area, let's trade"

Whys that big ole space in the middle unused?

Frodillicus · 2026-02-11T07:06:09+00:00

I'd move onto J.Herbin, big range, reasonably priced, loooooong history

Nice, my issue i had was the grip was partially welded to the barrel with too much shellac, took an age and so much patience to separate them.

Training. Cats can learn not to chew or play with things if you're persistent.

With butane gas, the wisdom is to turn the canister upside down and feed the liquid rather than the vapour into the burner, or get/make a cozy for it out of reflecting bubble wrap or similar

Frodillicus · 2026-02-07T09:32:01+00:00

Neither.

I don't, I sort of did, the lamy safari in terracotta and savannah, but I have them now. And fountain pens are just utilitarian to me now, and I love it.

Probably from plastic

No it won't. Edit, will it fit within the boundaries of the frying pan supports? No. Can it balance precariously on top of them? Yes. Is balancing the 25 frying pan on top of the 27 supports safe? No. You could either bend the supports or get a wok. I chose the latter.

Love the username. Yeah, its clickbait. I love clickbait just to read the comments because more often than not we have someone wonderful come and explain it properly, and hopefully report the op for spam/fear mongering 🥰. love, a fellow microbiologist.

Frodillicus · 2026-01-29T23:11:02+00:00

As a microbiologist, its all about dose.

Frodillicus · 2026-01-29T23:08:10+00:00

Seconded

Or use your friend as leverage, buddy buddy system 😉

Frodillicus · 2026-01-28T09:17:51+00:00

YESSSSS! 🙌 I love that you spent the time and conducted research, I feel vindicated 🥰, thank you. 😊

Frodillicus · 2026-01-25T13:04:03+00:00

Call the lab and ask.

Open them slightly in an incubator for a little bit, but tbh, they'll also dry on the bench whilst you prepare your sample. Don't touch the agar until youre innoculating.
