Not as nice as my laboratory is going to be when my shipments arrive. Not going to experiment with animals though, so no lab rats or any cage/tanks. I'm going to partitition it for tinkering station, next month I'll get the building supplies and a general purpose tool workbench that includes soldering. I might add a welding setup to it afterward but I don't want my lab to be cluttered.

careful they might be watching you
are you going to be doing chemistry? if you find the holy grail of formulas (like changing lead into gold or water to gas) don't let the greedy bastards take it from you
joking aside that sounds cool and hope you have fun with it

gah the waiting today I'm stuck waiting for it to warm up outside, waiting for the mail to get here as I've been waiting on a part since wed(2-3 day shipping my ass) the damn thing should have been here no later than sat
it was only being shipped from 1 state away this is just as bad as the last time when I ordered something from another bordering state it took that over a week to get here for the ass way they shipped it it should have just come from china.
I got so burned out on games lately that I started playing some pokemon knockoff called coromon. it's only slightly better than pokemon. it kinda plays like gen 1 but looks like gen 3.

Researching the efficacy of natural cleaning agents compared to commercial chemical cleaners. Analyzing the cleaning power, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness of various homemade cleaning solutions versus store-bought products. Experimenting with sustainable cleaning practices, helping individuals and households reduce their reliance on potentially harmful chemicals while maintaining clean and sanitary living environments that don't pollute the environment. Was my wife's idea, she uses natural cleaning agents and avoids chemicals, we discussed using chemistry to reduce exposure to chemicals and develop better natural solutions. She's my assistant, doesn't know chemistry and is the natural cleaning expert so we can work together on projects. She's interested in it, something we can collaborate on. Can be marketed as commercial products.

Edit:// I have yet to expand my lab for other purposes, it's new and I started off with the equipment requirements for the above-mentioned tasks.

that's awesome. in the past I've tried using one of those natural orange based cleaners it worked okay. I also used to use simple green that was a pretty good overall cleaner
nowadays I just use some cheap stuff since I only really have to keep the bathroom clean. having something that's natural safe and effective but cheap would be great.

I want to synthesize natural solvents.

Edit:// and test them for distinction from natural ingredient as an artificial substitute. That then can be mass produced as low cost artificial products without organic material cost.

that's quite interesting. good luck with it

I love the 2nd season opening of the munsters.

I'd like to take a shit on a newly formed planet's landmass, just one turd including the microbiome of my gut's ecosystem, come back billions of years later and see Earth's duplicate with humans wondering who shat that godly shit. Just to see humans wondering.

Edit:// What for? You might be wondering.



Organism food in, organism crap out. Disney circle of life. Consequently, the organic material of feces is the umbilical chord that nourishes its microbiome giving birth to life and as it flourishes then in the end perishes.

It's not the end either, at least one turd will survive nuclear war and biological warfare ensures that humans evolving once more in billions of years think they're the first civilization again after ours erodes to dust just as mountains do. Life will be here long after fossils disintegrate. Without a trace at different time.

If anything, radiation increases rate of mutation. Turds evolve faster, only one required to restart life.

Somebody in the future going back in time to choose Charles Darwin to do the honors of being the Earth's first defecator, then returning him to his time period where he keeps it a secret because nobody would believe him thinking he's a nutter and discrediting his theory.



Why? Because space and time are equivalent. Eventual mastery of space travel is mastery of time travel as a byproduct. It's much more effortless to travel to Earth from Earth than to another planet. Whoever travels to 2024 and uses a search engine to find and read this message can decide it's an amusing suggestion for a timeline of evolutionary processes on Earth.

that is a good theory and it can be tested. we have a couple bird feeders around the house part of the bird food is sunflower seed, the birds eat the seed they shit a new sunflower grows from their shit.
here's a question if all life came from shit who shit the first shit?

I decided to start playing a new game this morning as I was bored so I installed a game called the ball much to my surprise it's pretty good so far. the game is a first person puzzle game where you go around some ancient mayan or aztec ruins with what acts like a gravity gun from half-life 2 and you move this large ball around to break walls or push buttons.
there is a little platforming and combat and a story (which you can dig deeper into if you find the secrets in each level) most of the focus is on the puzzles which so far haven't been difficult.
the one thing that could have been better is if health regened on it's own and not just when you get to a checkpoint and being able to manually save would have been nice.

See, the microbes of a microbial colony form an altruistic neural network through microbial intelligence. They require organisms to spread so they decide to become multi-cellular life to be eukaryotes that host them in their gut as an ecosystem with a steady supply of organic matter to feed on as they spread being excreted. The first defecator with a human gut biome has the required ecosystem to replicate humans and the environment required to sustain human life after billions of years of evolutionary processes. The first defecator taking a shit on Earth was human, it can be any human from anywhere as an astronaut that has mastered space travel and time travel as a byproduct of space and time being equivalent. Who that defecator is, is the question.

Conversely, our gut is a second brain.

Without microbes and shit we're shits.

confirmed humans are shitty because they're made of shit
