^ cute.


Following a recent thread, bendy-wing is bendy:



Despite being filled with lots of non-bendy things:



Still weirds me out...



Also, gotta love AAs newer 321s. Seats 23A & 23F FTW.

I fear that my ever-growing collection of graduated cylinders which, up until now has been entirely recreational, is at risk of becoming a fetish.





It started out harmless enough. Just 25ml polypropylene. But before you know it, you're up to 500ml borosilicate glass, and still thinking "yeah, but what if I needed to accurately measure liquid volumes up to 1 litre in a single pass?"

I swear, this **** is addictive...

Why limit yourself to just a liter?

Can you give me a close-up of the markings on the red stand, please? I have been manufacturing the product for about 40 years and don't ever remember anything but white. Just wondering about competition.

I bought that one about 6 months ago from some random online vendor of cheaply-made Chinese labware, before I started acquiring a taste for nicer things. No markings on it that reveal a manufacturer:

Thank You. It is a very cheap knock-off, but it looks like it serves the purpose for which it was intended.

The markings seem to be accurate, but I find the white etching hard to read (hardly better than the polypropylene which it replaced) and vastly prefer the dark orange of the Karter glass. Edit: the red-based cylinder also doesn't pour nearly as cleanly as the 50ml Karter, despite the fact that I can't see a significant difference in the lip. Sometimes quality is invisible, I guess.

It doesn't get used anymore.

What better to soothe the soul while plowing through wiring documentation on a Sunday morning than interesting & unusual covers of The Beatles?






















And then you veer off into Disco Star Wars for some reason....







And after that, it's Fuckbrain McPhearson, and you're *****-deep in the 70s.

Too bad you'd wear it out in 100 miles.
