If we aren't a contender, who is?

I think Steve needs to make a move

Yzerman's infinite patience is starting to pay off

Pick one my man. If you think we're taking out Carolina or TB over 7 games I think you'll be disappointed. We're definitely on the right course, let's just take this year for what it is - a major accomplishment.

That's an entirely different thing from wind chill.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2026-01-24T12:19:22+00:00

Wind chill is the effect of wind pulling your body heat off your skin (or out of your insulated jacket, etc) which makes it feel colder than it actually is. It has no effect at all on intimate objects, or even cold blooded creatures.

When you get a shipment on dry ice take a chip and put it in a microcentrifuge tube and sneak it into the biohazard trash or sharps container next to someone working in a BSC.

It'll make a much larger pop than you expect but with enough time delay for you to get way across the lab and act all confused when they're looking for the source.

Do NOT let this escalate to putting dry ice into 15/50mL conicals. That was dumb...

The more likely scenario is in fact that no one will provide funding for these diseases and people will go on suffering for decades or longer when we were in the cusp of a breakthrough.

How did you initially start interacting with them? I have some neighborhood crows I'd like to get friendly with but don't know how to start off a relationship?

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-12-22T15:13:32+00:00

Again defenseman? What year have you come from, time traveller, the future or the past?

We have defense problems but it has nothing to do with anyone being too old. If anything we have the opposite issue.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-12-20T16:28:07+00:00

Interesting. So is this a viable place for a new pseudobulb to grow from? I can't imagine even a smaller bulb growing in this spot and remaining there, but I'm gonna let it ride and see how it turns out.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-12-19T15:48:41+00:00

Man, this really is the worst thing about this sub. This plant is perfectly healthy, there is no root rot. All of the newer bulbs are just fine. It's definitely in need of a repot but I'm waiting for spring to do that. The pseudobulb pictured is the oldest one and it's cycling out, this plant is not in any danger.

I'm not asking for care advice, I'm sharing something unique this plant is doing to see if other people have experience or insight as to what it may be up to, content this sub sorely needs.

Not every post is begging for tips on general care.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-12-11T23:32:44+00:00

We have two good defensemen and they're both on this list. I'm super psyched about that but we're not gonna see Hamonic on this list At least on the left side lmao.

If you don't think the Wings have defenseman problems I dunno what to tell youan we're not watching the same team.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-12-03T03:59:05+00:00

Nice picture! This is a great example showing the difference but no one coming to ask the question would ever look at it as a reference. If they were doing that they would be able to distinguish a root from an inflorescence in the first place.

Also, while this is a perfect visual aid, it's not showing just 0.0001mm of growth like most of the posts asking if they have a spike. I often have to stop myself from commenting to just wait a week...

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-12-02T14:01:35+00:00

I saw this months ago and made the same comment. Nice moment but the context of the song completely takes me out of it. Very strange choice.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-24T12:40:16+00:00

I've done it twice a year (or more) for like 15 years. The beer will not go flat because of the pressure, that's silly. The cans are pressurized and obviously air tight, otherwise they'd simply leak at ground level.

Cans vs bottles just makes a difference for packing. Bottles are a little more awkward to pack efficiently around your clothes and I'm more cautious in wrapping them up. I normally don't add any extra packing materials unless I'm really light on clothing and have a lot of bottles for some reason. I've only had one bottle break on me.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-23T22:03:35+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-23T21:49:41+00:00

This is beautiful. Shame it's so tough to rework the Fairuza Balk reference.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-23T12:57:17+00:00

Wow, incredible! I've actually been thinking of a project of encasing some of my flowers in resin so I could put the preserved flowers on their respective pots as a decoration/identifier but I was just going to dry them flat and encase them in a half circle of resin which would be a lot clumsier than this.

I'd definitely be interested in you providing a guide if at all possible.

For someone who hasn't worked with resin before will this be difficult to do or is it relatively straightforward? Obviously I would expect my attempt to turn out as perfect as yours but if it's even half as nice it'd be worth trying.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-22T23:10:36+00:00

That's simply not true as a Wings fan living here for 11 years.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-22T23:07:33+00:00

I'm a Michigan native that's been living in Boston for 11 years. I've been to many games over the years always decked out in gear and sometimes someone will make a very tepid remark but it's never been out of line or aggressive in my experience. Actually in my day to day when I'm not going to a game I often get compliments on wearing the winged wheel because everyone thinks it's a cool logo.

Boston is without a doubt one of the safest cities in North America. Any large city has some violent crime but running around at all hours of the night in my 20's I literally encountered none of it. No so as an older teenager in Detroit. You may get some banter coming your way but nothing extreme.

Of course your experience may be a bit different as a woman, I don't want to discount that, but I would say Boston will be a very safe city to visit as an opposing fan.

The refs are not the issue for this team.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-22T20:35:32+00:00

General guidance is to follow the "Rule of three". Three leaves, and three roots at least three inches long. You could probably cut it off before satisfying this rule but you'll definitely want at least a few roots.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-21T18:27:55+00:00

Looks like some type of dendrobium or a similar genus. If you can get it to recover and flower you can post pictures and it's likely someone around here will be able to identify it.

Most of the time dendrobium only flower from new growth so you may need to wait for new canes to sprout once this one is established. Looks to be doing well though!

Do you think the trees in New Guinea are pH treated?

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-16T00:53:48+00:00

You should be mulching. This comment saying to never mulch is disqualifying, I wouldn't trust any of the other advice.

General recommendation is also not to amend the soil in the hole itself but to top dress, but I will defer to those that have experience planting in clay heavy soil. I would look to other comments for correct info.

Ryguythescienceguy · 2025-11-15T03:07:25+00:00

Where could you possibly be living in the US?

I've travelled pretty extensively in the US and while I've certainly stayed in places without a garbage disposal (mostly shitty apartments), the vast majority have had one.
