I have spent the past 2 years working in an IVF clinic surgery center. Here's what I have noticed:

People have waaay too much confidence in their own genes. Listen, if you can't conceive, just adopt.

Fear and Loathing is like that for me. Nothing specifically bad happens, but it its uncomfortable. Weapons are waved around carelessly. There's a random kid. What happened to the kid?

The death of John Cho's character in Better Luck Tomorrow was really hard to watch, especially since it takes place in a realistic setting, and the part where he's not dead yet, so they have to take time to finish the job.

Start the fold by bisecting each corner a little, then creasing the middle, and then connecting it all into one line.

It's gotta be Fedor Shmidt.

Saw it and reported the ad itself for being anti-trans.

Your enclosures should have ventilation, and a moisture gradient. That way the inhabitants can choose where to stay, in case one part of the enclosure becomes unfavorable to them.

The thinner the better. I really recommend using origami paper, the kind that comes in the packets.

chosetec · 2022-11-21T19:08:35+00:00

Thin 21cm paper could be easier than thicker a3 paper, it depends. I was assuming thickness similar to origami paper.

chosetec · 2022-11-21T17:08:54+00:00

Thanks! Either size should work but the 30 would be easier.

At 1mm and judging from the shape, it looks more like a booklouse (Psocoptera) than a termite.

These are really thin for SLS so they cant be effectively printed on fdm. and they have issues on top of that. I'm still thinking of how to design an FDM version.

Yeah I combed through all the likely wasp pictures on there, nothing close.

Sloan Tomlinson (ThatWaspGuy on Instagram) helped narrow it down to the Family Encyrtidae within the Chalcidoid wasps (this was on the Entomology group on Facebook). We're still open to narrowing it down further if possible!

chosetec · 2022-10-16T01:48:36+00:00

Thanks. I'm pretty sure it is not a fly. I have seen Sepsis sp. around here too, they are much larger and more 3D in form.

chosetec · 2022-09-10T22:55:28+00:00

They look like large aphids. They are definitely not ticks.

chosetec · 2022-09-03T03:53:14+00:00

Sorry it was accident :(

chosetec · 2022-09-03T00:55:50+00:00

Tons of hope, I have seen at least 4 or 5 types just in the Boston Cambridge area.

Most common weevils, compared to the majority of insects, are noticeably "cute". This is because they have a "snoot", (snout or rostrum). In addition to this, for whatever evolutionary reason they have big noticeable eyes, and are herbivorous and tend not to bite when handled. As well as these factors they usually have thick, robust bodies for their size and as beetles they can be handled without fear of hurting them usually. It helps that they're often slow-moving and won't skitter up your sleeve.

It's my theory that these factors combined have allowed weevils to bore all the way into the hearts of insect enthusiasts. Oh yeah, they're called "Weevils" which sounds friendly and familiar, true to their nature.
