    Fortunately no. The front yard. The field is behind the houses across the street from me.

    It doesn't ruin anything, just kills the grass if you don't clean it up ASAP. Last time it was bad the entire neighborhood kind of banded together and we all helped each other clean up our front yards and the city sent workers who helped us. Hopefully they do the same tomorrow and I don't have an epic mess when I get home.

    I guess I'm fortunate my basement is dry and there is nothing more than some grass to worry about.

    The mgr i used to bitch about was fired a week ago, which is, you know, fine because she sucked at her job. But it really irks the shit out of me that i am asked what my availability is only to come in this morning and see that they've scheduled me howevet the fuck they like in the hopes that i'll just do it, they've pulled this same shit before and with other people with limited availability. So now i have to go to the trouble of writing yet another detailed email outlining when i'm available and how they fucked up. Same shit, different fucking day.

    What the shit, Southwest? You tantalize me with a $49 one way fare sale and then you tell me they don't apply for Friday or Sunday travel? Fuck you.

    I hate airlines.

    So, I'm into shooting sports, right?

    Yesterday I had a Mandatory Background Check (2013 liberal-noia buzzword) done yesterday (state and fed forms like-whoa) and I had to sit and wait for three fucking hours while they processed it.

    For you dipshits that think that you can just cash and carry a firearm out of a gun shop without The Man blessing off on you, I've got a dick you can eat.

    I'm seriously considering making the psych evals for firearm purchase my specialty. cha-ching!
    But, there's that whole "liability" thing if they go shoot people. We all know that the ones that shoot people won't have legal firearms permits, right? :rolleyes:

    Normal is nearly done with work around 0630. Not sure how it will be being forced to add daywalker to my work schedule and actually doing something for a weekly paycheck during sunlight hours, just sounds wrong to me.

    My experiment that I set up has three sets of controls. Media only, sterile blood only, and a media/blood only.
    The Media control is clear - no bacterial growth
    The sterile blood control is clear - no bacterial growth
    There is a shitton of bacterial growth in the media/blood control.
    ALL I DID WAS MIX TWO THINGS TOGETHER. BOTH OF WHICH ARE STERILE. HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAPPEN.

    So welcome to my little world.

    There would be liability associated with what you're proposing, but it's probably not as bad as you think. If someone goes postal, you might be on the hook but if they shoot someone in a domestic dispute, then you probably don't. That said, I think that it would be pretty easy to craft an insurance product that would provide defense in the event someone did try to hang something on you. And I don't think that it would be too expensive to do so.

    /helpful

    Why do my clients insist on engaging little podunk wholesalers who don't know what the hell they're doing? It only muddies the water and makes it take longer for me to do my thing.

    why do that? milk crate it.

    Humanure Dry Toilet Made From a Milk Crate | Root Simple

    [​IMG]

    Modern toilets take two valuable resources, water and nitrogen rich human waste, and combine the two to create a problem: sewage. In a dry or “humanure” toilet, you cover your deposits with a layer of non-toxic sawdust. Once the toilet is full you dump the contents into your outdoor humanure pile and compost the waste at high temperatures for at least a year. You can then use that compost as fertilizer for plants. The ubiquitous five gallon bucket is the most commonly used humanure receptacle. Most humanure toilet designs I’ve seen such as the ones on Joseph Jenkin’s website make use of wood which I’m not crazy about in the wet environment of a bathroom. Even with a coat of paint wood gets grungy. Alternatively, you can buy plastic camping toilet seats that will clamp on to a five gallon bucket but they have, in my opinion, an unacceptable wobble when you sit on them. For these reasons I designed a sturdy dry toilet making use of a scavenged milk crate. Even if the idea of humanure grosses you out (and it’s definitely the most controversial subject in our book), our milk crate toilet would be great for camping, emergencies or your remote cabin.

    Grr, grr, grr...I thought my wine club had changed my address; the email I received a couple days ago about the shipment looked fine. Noooo. The email from UPS today is my old address. I emailed them. Hopefully it all gets straightened out.

    Email from my professor:

    "This is why you need to get your activities into your online labnotebook in enough detail to evaluate. how much blood, how long incubated, which plates"

    Bitch, my lab notebook is flawless. Maybe if you decided to talk to me about it, you could see where everything you're asking for is located.

    I ended up going down to the local coffee shop. I am lucky to live somewhere with so many coffee shops close at hand.

    Hey! I'm at Starbucks :) apparently, my client is in rare form and has been tantrum in since 7am. Welcome to the first week of summer vacation! I told them what lack of structure was going to do...

    Ugh! I just found out that Bloomsday this Sunday will require getting up at 6:30 a.m. and a 1-hour commute.

    The shit I do for literature.

    The shit, I tell you!
