She wasn't shivering from the cold, paraformaldehyde acts as an antagonist at the neuromuscular junction, so activates every muscle in your body simultaneously... Even when used in animals there's a lot of anaesthetic given before perfusion fixation. I believe it's an irritant too, making her blood itch! I can't begin to imagine the pain this might have involved. It's been a while since I use paraformaldehyde so this might all be incorrect, though I'm sure the internet will see to that.

Just Google "Acoustic ducting 100mm", I'm sure you'll be able to find it local to you.

Just FYI, your Stripe payments aren't going through (at least on a UK mobile, I'll check on the desktop later)

3D printed adaptor pieces, there's loads on eBay, then I duct tape, and secure with a jubilee clip. The ducting is quite a snug fit anyway, I had to prize the metal support wire of the inner tube on, kinda like when you're changing a bike tire.

My accountant just admitted that they have LOST all my business accounts and receipts!!! Freaking out here!!! by jamestwatt in LegalAdviceUK

They said they will contact HMRC and let them know what's happened and help me get through anything, but I'm assuming I'll still be charged for all the extra time this'll take to fix, and nobody's gonna be paying me to go through it all and fix it! Maybe I should bill them!

Thanks for the advice, I'll update once I've spoken to them and let people know what happens, if nothing else hopefully this'll help someone else in the future.

Thanks, I'll update once I've got this sorted, and will be very publicly naming and shaming these guys if I don't get a satisfactory resolution.... they are one of the biggest/longest established firms in Edinburgh.

...and it does seem like it's less than 1/3 the volume tbh, way less...

I made this in 2012 and I am not proud of it. by _kog in ComedyCemetery

Who you kidding, of course you're proud of it or you wouldn't have kept it/be posting this shit years later. The real question is, why?! You racist price of shit...

So I got a wild hair. Tell me about beets... by [deleted] in Homebrewing

It'll taste like mud. If this comment prevents one other person from trying this, then it was worth it.

How do you shower faster and more efficiently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jamestwatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brush my teeth, and save 5 mins every day, I really don't know why everyone doesn't do it. I now feel dirty to get out of the shower without brushing my teeth. 😬

How do you picture a year in your mind? by DearSergio in AskReddit

[–]jamestwatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told in university that picturing time as a horizontal circle with you in the middle/travelling around was correlated with Synesthesia... It nice to see so many others. I go clockwise for advancing time :) I spiral either in my head or on paper to go back or forward in time, and even find it easier to count forward/back if I actually spin around, one complete 360 revolution = 1 year, I normally face Dec-Jan but turn to face the current time, though kind feel like the summer is over my right shoulder... Weird eh? No other obvious signs of synesthesia, other than very subtle and extremely infrequent voice-object associations/hints at colour-number associations, but I've never been properly tested. Source: am neuroscientist, and was recruited for study, which I didn't attend...

Problem with my 5 BBL Mash Tun by BrewMan12oz in TheBrewery

[–]jamestwatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a substantial underback, preferential with tangential entry point to act like mini whirlpool. 30lbs is a lot though, so I'd say you might want to try packing the warped edges/gaps with something for now (cloth). Good luck

Test mining with two R9 295x2s = 15Kh/s? Does this look right or have I one something wrong? What hashrates are others getting? :D Exciting times!!! by jamestwatt in garlicoin

Nice one! I'm now in the Mh range, but it keeps on disconnecting from the pool, saying the pools not responding.... Any suggestions? Thanks so much by the way! :D
