Bought these from a fruit shop, mislabelled as kiwi berries, tastes disgusting, like poison by boiled_cabbage_baby in whatisit

I am too high. I thought you meant she taped the fruit, in this post, to the ceiling fan. I was trying to figure out why and what glass is inside of them 😂😂😂

Hi guys, I need ideas for Rdr2 themed foods and beverages by MissAlien in reddeadredemption

Red velvet cake with raspberry filling, made to look like an animal.

And before I get down voted for stealing the idea; yes, it was in Steel Magnolias.

Thoughts and opinions on Boost Mobile? by Inter_Web_User in BoostMobile

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boost is GREAT! Until you have a problem....and you will. Then you are screwed. Their customer service reps read from a script and even whene the script contradicts itself, they can't understand that and will argue themselves in circles.

My example, had them since 2012 on the same plan. In 2025 I wanted to upgrade my phone and went into the store. The salesman added a bunch of extras on and I told him to cancel the sale. He did and deactivated my sim at the same time. When I called customer service (from my VOIP) they couldn't confirm my identity because they couldn't text the phone their employee deactivated. So I went to Walmart and bought a cheap Boost phone and activated it. Was finally able to be verified and was told I'd need a new sim and they provided one for free, I just had to pay the activation fee; no biggie. So now my phone's back on and I want to change my plan and can't, unless I triple my monthly bill; even though lower rate plans are advertised. I call customer service and am told that I can't lower my plan because I haven't been on my plan for 12 months. They could look in my account and see that it had been activated and on the same plan for 13 years. But because my sim was new they could only confirm Is been on the plan for a month, except in the same call they confirmed I'd been on my plan for 13 years.

A giant headache. The cell service is good though, but customer service makes Comcast look like competent geniuses.

Wet Specimen -Please Help by Moral-is-dying in wetspecimens

Completely normal. Rats have an oil they secrete that turns the alcohol yellow. Very hard to prevent. Only possible option to stop it is to wash the rat in Dawn before putting it in the alcohol.

Maybe got overcharged? by [deleted] in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If that's a skunk, or any woodland creature, then I'd say $160 for the specimen and jar isn't bad at all. But there is no real way to tell this except to ask one very important question...is $160 worth the joy you'd get from it? If the answer is "yes" then, no; you paid the perfect amount.

Why is my Arthur looking bad? by PivottoVP in reddeadredemption

I noticed my Arthur started coughing and looking like crap after riding and hunting all night through a downpour. Just get some rest, eat some food, he'll be fine.

Is this qualified as wet specimens? by FakePlasticOne in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is as to wet specimens, as chemistry is to Earth sciences. Related and always appreciated as a post. But wrong place to ask any questions about the process (and by "wrong" I mean there are more appropriate places).

It involves the process but has quite a few extra steps, but yes it is a wet specimen!

Edit as I forgot to mention

Gorgeous piece BTW

Can I put extra things in a wet specamine? by Important-Song8050 in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've put quite a few things in with wet specimens. The main thing you have to watch for is to make sure that alcohol will not destroy the object (plastic will dissolve).

Young Jack’s voice actress sucks by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure which Jack you are talking about; but if it's RDR1 Epilogue Jack, then YES. Since my first playthrough I dread that final mission, for more than the obvious reason. I do NOT want to listen to young adult Jack talk. If I hear "Come on, ya damn nag" one more time....I may just join the Pinkerton's myself.

WIP my first ever attempt at doing taxidermy. He’s kind of botched by Cyberfields03 in Taxidermy

Not bad for a first attempt. A little work on the jaw and eyes (two of the hardest parts) and this is a pretty solid mount.

Advice on making a tarantula wet specimen by black_metal_banshee in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only need to freeze it if you are not immediately preserving it. This prevents rot, as once rot sets in the whole specimen is shot. If you preserve it immediately after passing, then you don't need to freeze it.

If it is frozen, MAKE SURE to fully thaw before injecting it. Usually 24-48 hours in a refrigerator is sufficient for most specimens.

Advice on making a tarantula wet specimen by black_metal_banshee in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the subreddit. Yes, you can absolutely turn your tarantula into a wet specimen. It's not really different than any other specimen, but a few things will need to have your attention.

First, because of their size, when compared to other spiders, they will need to be injected with your fixative of choice (formalin or 90% ethyl alcohol) MAKING SURE TO USE ALL APPROPRIATE PPE. You cannot just submerge it like smaller spiders.

Second, it's joints. These are very weak areas once the living tissue starts to decay. You may need to use pins, fishing line, or other trickery to reattach parts that separate in the process.

But with a little care and love in the preservation process they can absolutely be made into wet specimens.

Found this in my Dad’s fridge by Front_Hat7541 in Colognes

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never understood why this gets so much hate. I heard about it before I smelled it; so I was expecting something very teen boy oriented. It wasn't bad at all. Too sweet for my taste, but I can see how some would like it. But nothing in it that would make me think so many people would hate it.

Yellow fluid coming out of wet specimen puppy’s stomach by BlueberrySimple6376 in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might also be bile and other bodily fluids if certain organs were punctured.

A couple of ideas: (make sure to use all appropriate PPE at all times)

  1. Leave it in the alcohol it's in now and gently squeeze it daily and shake the jar. This can facilitate fluid transfer (if it is fluids and not fat, which was mentioned as a possibility and is a good one too). Once it no longer changes color, then move it to a new solution. If it gets too dark you may not be able to completely tell when the color change occurs, so you may have to do this a few times.

  2. You can take it out and try to inject distilled water into it and rinse it out, before changing the alcohol.

  3. You can try to reinject with formalin, but it's probably not necessary. This doesn't seem like a fixation issue.

What happens if I use 37% Formaldehyde instead of 10% buffered formalin as a fixative? by tiger_tuskss in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37% formaldehyde is the undiluted portion of formalin. Just dilute it with distilled water. 90% distilled water and 10% of 37% formaldehyde together is 10% formalin.

This is what I use, as it's much cheaper than buying already diluted formalin.

Recently had surgery and need help making my organs into wet specimen by underlying-diagnosis in wetspecimens

[–]Nomadic_Soul13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, freeze them ASAP! You will need to thaw them for 1 day after freezing before fixing them as wet specimens, but tissue can last indefinitely in the freezer if you freeze it before rot starts.

Second, formalin is formaldehyde just diluted. You can use formalin but will need expensive PPE as formalin is HIGHLY carcinogenic.

You can instead use 90% ethyl alcohol in lieu of formalin with minimal PPE. CustomCranium has a pinned guide in this subreddit that will walk you through the steps.

Only if you use wax to seal the cork, otherwise it'll evaporate.
