Welcome to the future bwahahahaha.

These things, I can't spell. A rheoscopic fluid is one in which you can see the flow. Usually achieved by particles of particular dimensions longer in one axis, when they line up with the flow they interact with light differently to create pearlescence.
Refining pigment from dirt is a bit beyond me. I don't even know how I'd approach that. There is ironstone I could smash up and make a black one from though... maybe interesting with pottery actually... but no I bought some mica.
I was going to make some of those goofy "potion" bottles and do the toy for little ones at the same time. Since all the same testing applies.
A long journey for me. I worked on the school farm as a kid, I remember the first time animal ag hit me we had raised broiler (meat) hens and I was loading them onto the murder van. I was quite young, it seemed wrong in a vague nonspecific way. I knew dairy was completely fucked by the end of highschool and went ovo-pesca.
Many years later in my twenties I had just read a book in which studies of zebra fish modifying their behaviour towards pessimism when their lips were envenomed with bee venom. Harmless, but painful. Such a change only made sense to me if they had something akin to what in us we call emotions. I had recently moved away from living in a poly house, partly because of my deeply conflicted feelings on their enthusiastic rejection of any form of pesca/vege-tarianism and was doing a lot of soul searching.
I found vegan circlejerk and thought it was hilarious, and the combo made me be like "fair cop, at worst you miss out on some fish, at best you avoid horrificly depraved acts" so I approached my wife and said "I think veganism is morally correct" and she said yep and that was that.
in other news stability testing for mica pigments commences today. Hoping to make some pretty rheoscopic fluid for kaleroscopes for the nibblings.
Two things can be true. The lack of transparency exhibited by the chinese government is at best extremely suspicious. Also we're not doing too hot, have a very dark history with white supremacy, and the treatment of asylum seekers is crimes against humanity that some people should absolutely face justice for.
I thought they were just a sunscreen thing! Neat.
I suspect Lowes might make some styling choices that wouldn't be very flattering on me. Unsure if they have crocheted flowers and so on ;)
I haven't tried a surf store actually, remarkable lack of beaches out past Penrith lmao. It's a good idea though, although it's sort of a mission to travel that way. I was gonna go visit the gong at some point this summer so it might be an opportunity to get one there.
Do you or have you ever worked in science? I did for a bit and that was not my impression.
One cannot really argue that science as practiced is very effective at certain things but it is also extremely far from being objective in practice. Especially the further you stray from simple physical systems.
Also like I never saw someone formulate a hypothesis in any sort of formal sense haha.
Yes! Yes! The superior porridge is spreading.
I use an "oilskin" (actually cotton) as a raincoat and wax it with a mixture of carnauba wax and jojoba oil. Castor would probably also work, you just need to add something to soften it that's heavy enough not to get displaced by water.
The SDA is thoroughly captured.
Transcripts will be juicy for this one.
From the outside this seemed messed up to all hell and clear political silencing.
