Whenever I have a problem, I just add tBuLi to it.

I then have a different problem. But I generally have solved the first one.

Wow what
If any #InsertAnInvert folks need some DiscoBlob inspiration, here’s a video of Beroe abyssicola I took a few years ago.

Was reminded of it because it got scraped way back by one of the folks @franzanth.bsky.social just added to the content scraper blocklist.
