I have successfully completed my assignment. I don't think it will go very well - it is a reflection of what I have learned and plans for the future, and I believe I lack the optimism they are probably hoping for. Oh well, at least it is honest.
A dibbler is a round stick type thing with a pointy end. This is an auger that fits into an electric drill to dig a hole. Hopefully it will work one handed so I can do some planting while my finger continues to heal, and it should avoid the blister issue I had from digging too many holes manually.
I've got a manual one for posts which has been really good. These are little ones which will be good for small plants - one is a tiny little one which will be good for seedlings and small bulbs, the other one will be good for smaller pots. I only have a fairly lightweight drill to use it with, but the soil is pretty sandy so it will probably be enough for what I need to do.
Toastie time
Edit: damn that was good. Contained cheddar, bocconcini, onion and sauerkraut. 10/10 would toast again
Pakige! The augers I ordered to drill holes for planting my seedlings arrived, along with a couple of new trowels. I'm very impressed by the quality of these ones, they seem very strong. I've had flimsy trowels that have bent, these look ike they should last a good long time.
Eight hours gives a fair bit of time for bacteria to multiply, so there is a risk of food poisoning if you eat it. Boiling the food will generally kill the bacteria, but if they have produced toxins they can take a bit longer - Staphylococcus aureus takes over an hour of boiling to destroy the toxins they produce. There has probably not been enough time for significant levels of toxin to have been produced (how long that is depends on the temperature, so not possible to really know, but it takes over 10 hours at 37 degrees, the lower the temperature of the food the longer it takes).
I'd probably eat it, but would definitely make sure it is brought to the boil and simmered for a while, not just reheated.
Mr Woof was getting a bit aggro about something out the front. I expected it to be the usual person walking past or kids playing ball. Nope, there are two uniformed cops out the front watching an argument between who I assume is a mother and daughter that obviously got a bit heated. I guess police matters probably justify a good woof.
Update: Cops and mother? have now gone, and a bunch of kids with the daughter? walked past heading away. Maybe she invited a bunch of friends around without permission? In any case, they are no longer in sight, so Mr Woof is happy and peace has been restored.
The physicists, along with everything else, would be sucked here whether they want to study the black hole or not. Then we'd apparently all be stretched out in a weird process, probably the same one that created the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I don't really want to be pasta.
I do not think it would be safe to collect pieces of the void and store them together. I'm pretty sure that's how you make a black hole.
I had a pork bao bun meal kit for dinner and it was pretty darn delicious. As a bonus I get to look forward to the other half tomorrow night.
Now I have about half an hour to decide if I want something for dessert before I have to cut myself off from any more eating.
I don't think there is any dead flesh, the problem is way too much living flesh, all of it involved in a fight for ownershiop over my finger. The white blood cells have home ground advantage, but the interloper bacteria have lots of sneaky tactics to use, and it's only the pitch invasion by the antibiotic team that's keeping the advantage for the home team.
Good on you. My family no longer do gift exchanges and it makes Christmas much less stressful. I should check if my sister needs anything done foodwise this year, otherwise I don't have to do anything except remember to take the box of crackers I got after last christmas.
