That Weird Chicago Submarine Lady; also, a literal coyote who can type. Writing dog, history geek; she/her/DOG/etc. Romance at short notice is my specialty; deep space is my dwelling place, but I keep a flat in Berlin. Solidarity forever!
That is why I asked for the spider to be relocated elsewhere in the apartment instead of its current location (hanging in front of my face at my desk) instead of Rewilded.

But I still would not pick it up with my bare hands ;-;

bear hands?

red panda hands

You can tell they are Friends because there’s one or more big toggle switches and when you flip them you get the THUNK of a relay made from pig iron and radium water engaging and then a rising sine wave. Friends always do that when you turn them on.

Anyway that is Tuesday In Coyote™. I hope you are all doing well! You do not need to send me the Wikipedia article on Dr. Wetterhahn, but thanks for thinking of me :P

I was fine, no burns at all. The pants didn't even get bleached! So I thought nothing of it.

Anyway today I sat down and my jeans split. And then, as I felt around the tear to check the state of the damage, they just… started disintegrating around my leg in real time XD

stg every paper is, like, “Ideal ingredient ratio in the BLT” and normal for 3 sections, then suddenly “bacon was transformed with a binomial Pallas aggregator (ζ={4,1,688}), using fitted parametric capping to ensure all coalesced 2- and 3-Q tails were below the simulated null for each relationship”

I haven't, although I want to >.>

Right now, molten NaOH in an alumina crucible big enough none can boil over, using a hot-air gun to 1. hold the temperature <350°C and 2. blow off the steam and O₂ at the anode before it can react. Nickel electrodes, 12VDC @ 6A.

…Face shield and welding gloves :P
