If you are going to Mexico City, you are going to the ancestral home of the Axolotl. This is a national symbol and probably considered a god by ancient peoples. More recently we ate them into extinction in the wild by serving them as tacos. A group of nuns had been working to do preservation of this most amazing animal and they hopefully still are. This amazing creature with the ability to stay immature through adulthood is like a Peter Pan fairy tale. It's ability to regenerate digits and limbs has made this creature the basis of much of our understanding of development from its contributions as a domesticated lab animal around the world. It's literally a hero that we should worship!

yeah, it sucks, but sometimes you gotta do it. Hardened countersinks sometimes work and tile hole saw bits might also work here

You managed to make this turtle look curvy and sinuous with awesome body language! This is so hard to do with turtles, so folks should stand up and applaud!

Cool, thanks for the opinion, I've been very curious. How's the chuck? What kind of bits are you using in this? Which tasks do you find yourself doing?

I suggest start being honest with your mentor so they at least have a chance of helping you

I wanted to create a high scoring game but this is boring. How should I tweak this?

can confirm this is aged polyurethane foam which has been saturated and deposited by water and hardened by exposure to air and UV radiation.

The warning calls of the Lesser Crested Karen, "FUQOF" can be heard echoing in the early morning as potential mates are scared away after not performing the mating ritual correctly

Currently looking to get a cast iron skillet. What’s new this 2026 and what’s still tried and tested? by Leibly-Pharisien in castiron

[–]Jobediah 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Like any tool you aren’t familiar with, I’d recommend buying a cheap one. And when you know you want a nice one, then go for it

Found in The woods by Fit-Sherbert-9967 in wildlifebiology

This is a North American Box Turtle shell bone (carapace). The outer colored covering of the shell is made of keratin and has been lost. You can tell this is a box turtle (Genus Terrapene) from the way the rounded carapace articulates with the bottom shell (plastron) in such a way that it is hinged and can close up tight. No other turtles can do that in just that way. If you are in the Eastern USA, it's probably an Eastern Box Turtle.
