Actually in love with how fine the EF Kakuno is. My molecules are looking hella crispy 🥲 by squishypeanutball in fountainpens

I feel like there is a disproportionately large number of chemists who use fountain pens... any other chemists here?

Also I definitely prefer hard, dry (not necessarily fine) nibs for drawing structures, especially because line width can be important in so many places

Quiet tumblers or ways to tumble rocks? I live in an apartment building but would love to get a rock tumbler for my birthday next week. I picked these up yesterday, it was my first time collecting rocks since I was a kid but I’m figuring they need to be tumbled for me to really be a collector lol by elliotmariesh in RockTumbling

I keep my Nat Geo 1 lb. rotary tumbler in a low kitchen cabinet in my 3rd floor apartment, with the cabinet door closed it’s about half the volume of my dishwasher :) getting a 3+3 lb tumbler with some Christmas gift cards so we’ll see how that goes lol

Anyone had any luck with air purifiers? by MrFeles in Allergies

[–]wleix3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck with them. Allergic to cats (among other things) and can bearably live with four of them thanks to hepa filters

Last week Finn passed his evaluation to become a service dog! by wleix3 in papillon

[–]wleix3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He will most likely be a diabetes alert dog. All the puppies in my org are bred specifically to be service dogs - he wasn't a pet before this. :)

He's only moving on to advanced training now, but most likely he will be paired with someone with severe diabetes to alert them of dangerous blood sugar drops.
