Great NYT editorial today about when students lock up their phones during school hours, soon they start getting tons of books out of the library. I left my phone at home on the way to the library today and instantly got a lot smarter! Except for the part about saved call numbers for ‘library opportunism’ still being on the phone. I got Hope Jahren’s book Lab Girl instead, from a cart of free books by the door. I had to promise not to bring it back, so I’m giving it to you. 🍸🐈 #LabGirl
Presently: making a split 20V/5V1 DC adapter from a 32V one, some bucks, and scrap ABS...

Inventory phase complete at bare minimums. Now to take all that data and massage it into a vaguely acceptable shelved storage plan. Today? Idk. Need break first. Ugh.

Have to measure a bunch of things (with rough granularity) in a short period of time?
I give you: 3 metal rulers and a magnet

Yusssss! Finished inventory (minimum possible) on all 3 desk boxes! My workbench hasn't been this close to clear in many, many months.

Inventory. Yay. But it's the quickest way to sort shit and make this lab usable again. Ugh.

Yes, of course I am gitting this shit. I'm not a savage.

A book about plant science, labwork, and how a good lab partner can change your life!

I read #LabGirl recently & wrote my thoughts. This didn't fit there, but was also a thought.

Some people only have dogs. Some people apply characteristics they see in these #animals to their humans. Love, loyalty, etc. It's a neat club.

As a child, I thought dogs were boys and cats were girls. I've seen adults actually assign dog owners as more masculine (and more acceptable)...
