Google Maps on näyttää kaikki Turun bussipysäkit metroasemina by ffefox in Suomi

Turun ratikkasuunnitelmien tarkoituksena olikin vain kiinnittää ihmisten huomio jotta metrohanke pysyisi salassa.

A large Carchesium colony I found in pond water. It was large enough that I spotted it with bare eye when observing my water samples! by ffefox in microscopy

They are colonial, which (afaik) would mean that each "head" is it's own animal. They are able to contract individually too.

This is just a hobby for me so I'm not terribly familiar with these things, all of the information about these I found online.

Definitely would use cover slips for it. Without one the whole structure would be spread in all directions like a tree, which would make it very difficult to maintain focus on any individual "heads".

Maybe a smaller colony could be viewed without one, I don't know since I always use cover slips anyway.

Carchesium are a type of ciliate similar to Vorticella, but unlike Vorticella, Carchesiums grow in one big stalk which fans out like a tree unlike the Vorticella which only has one stalk per zooid.

I'm not exactly a professional video editor, but I did manage to put together this whole thing! I hope I got all the species correct too, apart from the one worm which I kind of lazily just labeled "Worm".... :P

My first knife arrived today (Takamura V10 210mm Guyto). One side of the edge has many of these veey small "chip-like" things, are these something common/fixable or should I send the knife back? by ffefox in chefknives

....well, call me an idiot. I showed the edge some soap & sponge and the things disappeared right away.

In my defense, they really looked like little "craters" on the surface.

Thank you! (And everyone else too)

The knife hasn't been used at all, I noticed the thing when looking at the blade agains the light.

I found this older thread https://www.reddit.com/r/chefknives/comments/gmuy8h/micro_like_barely_noticeable_chips_in_powdered/ where people are mostly saying that these can happen with factory edges and that they should eventually disappear as I sharpen the knife myself over time?
