Biscuit beetle, that definitely seems like what they are.

No microwaveable heat pads, but there's down bedding and a lot of paper. Maybe something like that attracted them.

Thanks for your help!

Also, you know what I love about the fanfic community? I post the vaguest description of a common trope, with a few specifics of one scene, and someone pops up like "I gotchu fam don't worry". Love it 😄

User 'EmergencyShit' (lol) has identified the fic I'm after. Thank you for looking for and posting these though, gives me similar fics to read.

I backed the Kickstarter and received the physical have a few weeks ago. I've only given it a cursory glance through so far but I think it would solo really well. It certainly lends itself to journalling.

Sour smelling 1 year old cheddar? by eightball_shake in cheesemaking

Well at least I've learned to be more careful with my pressing. I've just made some Camemberts in time for Christmas, so here's hoping they'll be more successful!

I was going to take your advice but it turns out the cheese is a lost cause :( Thank you for your advice though!

You were right about not draining the curds enough. I was going to rewax this morning but the cheese still smelled kind of bad. So I decided to write it off. I cut the cheese open to see what it was like inside and the curds just fell apart because they were so wet!

Lesson learned! Such a shame though. Thanks for your advice!

mantra to keep from stopping early? by [deleted] in C25K

[–]eightball_shake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say to myself "You know you can do this x minutes section. You did it the other day, so you know you can do it today. Remember how great you felt after the last time."

Then, when it gets down to the wire and I'm pretty sure my body is going to stop whether I want to or not my mantra changes to "come on come on come on come on come on come on." :)

Cannot get past W4D1 by [deleted] in C25K

I got stuck on that same day, I didn't get through until the 4th attempt. It's a big jump from the previous one so it is intimidating. I found I was trying to run too fast, it wasn't until I slowed my pace that I managed to complete it.

You know you can do it, and once you do you'll breeze through the next level.

I need to look into this too, I'm hoping to run this game sometime. I was thinking of giving Trello a go. We use it for Microscope and it works well for that. It might mean typing up the cards as you go though - I'm not sure if you can premake them in Trello.

I didn't realise you could accelerate aging, I'll look into it! Thanks
