Viking traveler’s amulet, based on the Lillbjärs picture stone. The back reads: “Unharmed Go Forth, Unharmed Return, Unharmed Back Home”, Frigga’s blessing to Odin, possibly from Vafþrúðnismál.
How does this have almost 10,000 notes ?
Because the world is full of trouble and every little bit of help counts.
Four episodes into the new Good Omens (no spoilers please) and the bullet catcher makes Aziraphale’s season 1 suggestion of doing magic at Warlock’s party so much funnier in hindsight.
Azipharle: I’ll do my magic routine.
Crowley: *silently screaming remembering the time he nearly shot his husband on stage* Please don’t.
the demons in hell must be having a riot there’s all these rumors about crowley and aziraphale dating and allegedly theres a picture of them together and then 90 years later you hear that a demon and angel ran off to alpha centauri and you’re like oh must be crowley and aziraphale they’ve been a thing for ages but NO its your boss beelzebub (ex boss now, apparently) and heaven’s supreme archangel fucking gabriel. like how do you go back to work after hearing this
Remember kids. If you have a high vis vest, steel toed boots, and a hard hat you can dismantle anti homeless architecture and no one will question you. For extra caution get a friend to stand around with the same items but have them hold a clipboard.
op do we have ideas of common anti-homeless architectures to spot and respective ways to dismantle them because i would really like to know if there is a list somewhere
Here’s a site with 15 common examples of hostile architecture. I’m still working on figuring out safe ways to remove some of them but for the anti homeless spikes you can usually get by with a hammer and chisel
you can tell this website is autistic as hell because someone posts a video with a mildly catchy phrase in it and no one shuts up about it for an extended period of time. or image even. image with a mildly catchy phrase in it even. we love phrases here on tumblr dot com love to repeat them. due to the autism
Why every time I see someone leave the most gut wrenchingly hateful disgusting bully type comment on some harmless persons tiktok it’s always like “connor_adams69” who’s profile pic is a mirror selfie neck down shirtless abs.. at this point we all know that gym rat dudes are the most deeply insecure ppl on the planet right like are we ready to talk about that. any plastic surgery bimbo on earth loves her self a million times more than a cis dude who “”“earned”“” his “”“"looks’”“”“. Maybe lay off the meth laced pre workout chemical smoothies and you’ll be a little calmer
The autoclave is designed to kill schmucks I think
It’s a 24yo Tomy SS-325 if it helps, it beeps once when it finishes counting down and beeps again when it finishes depressurizing, the steam is about 90-100c by then iirc
#top loading autoclave??? how do you get your trays out without toughing the sides?
With its basket! It comes with two of them
What’s an autoclave?
Are those ink markers?
It’s essentially a superpowered pressure cooker designed to get hot and high pressure enough to kill EVERYTHING. Including mold spores. They’re used to sterilise equipment.
Those aren’t markers, they’re tubes of fluid that OP wants to be sterile. It’s common practice to autoclave things like nutrient broth before inoculating them with bacteria, to kill off any contamination and make sure that you only grow whatever you put in there to grow.
I don’t think about Harry Potter all that much these days but sometimes I just randomly remember that these kids were writing on parchment. Like I know they have an aesthetic but WHY are these children writing their essays on ANIMAL SKINS in this day and age. It just isn’t practical. At least go with old-timey paper or something.
To all the people in the notes saying they thought that parchment was old-timey paper: you didn’t write five fantasy books where it is explicitly mentioned as being used extensively multiple times each book. If you had, you presumably would’ve looked the word up in the dictionary first. Different writing materials require different types of storage and treatment and you’d look up parchment vs. paper if you were going to replace one with the other, to make sure you didn’t make any stupid worldbuilding mistakes. Same as you would with vellum, or papyrus, or wood slips, or any other writing material.
you would be amazed and depressed to realize how confidently wrong most writers are about at least one crucially important item that made it to publication.
Another thing JKR did that bothered me as someone who volunteered at a raptor centre before I read the books (I was late to the party): the casual ease with which everyone handles owls.
The thing about owls, and raptors of any kind, is that they have big fucking talons. And it doesn’t matter if they’re trying to hurt you or not, these are animals with meathooks on their feet. You need special equipment to handle them without risking serious injury and infection. You at the very least want a falconer’s glove, but given that owls like to perch on your forearm like it’s a branch, you’re better off with an eagle glove which covers your whole arm.
At no point in the Harry Potter series is falconry equipment of any kind ever mentioned. People just let owls perch on their hands or shoulders like it’s nothing. There’s even one particularly cringe-inducing sentence where an owl sits on Harry’s lap, a glaring continuity error in light of the epilogue where he has children. I could only conclude that standard wizard clothing universally includes thick leather gloves, shoulder pads, and a jock strap. That’s the only way I could get through it.
“There’s even one particularly cringe-inducing sentence where an owl sits on Harry’s lap, a glaring continuity error in light of the epilogue where he has children.”
This is the funniest thing anyone has ever said about Harry Potter
they don’t have any basic protective measures when they do potions lab work, so it would seem those required school uniform robes must be charmed to hell and back
Come out of the first year at Hogwarts with a school uniform that looks like my old high school labcoat all stained and mildly singed to hell
Use 1337x.to rarbg or rutracker, highly moderated public torrent trackers, because Pirate Bay has long been shut down, unmoderated, and cloned by some shady actors AND use Mullvad VPN (or any other vpn but mullvad is the best definitely) to protect your ip address while you torrent, bind it to qbittorrent and do not use utorrent anymore either because it is littered with adware.
OR if you don’t want to pay for a VPN, use direct download or streaming sites. Please y’all just take one pass through on the r/piracy or r/freemediaheckyeah mega threads to find whatever you want for free and also not infect your computer with Trojan viruses.
^^^ yes!!! Thank you sm.
If any of those terms made you go ????? and you think pirating must be So Hard, I wrote a verbose but easy to follow guide a while back for total beginners!
The selection of titles available on Plex is… not great. It’s very much “free tv” kind of stuff. But what Plex does do, is it has a premium service for AU$6.50/month (about 4 or 5 bucks US I think) where you can host your own little database of movies, and your Plex friends can access your movies through it and watch them the same as if they were on the service. So like, if you make fun fan vids, you can share them with all your friends! Or if you have a collection of old movies that you own the distribution rights to, you can distribute them! If you, for example, have the definitely legal distribution rights to your favourite movies and tv shows, and your friends have theirs, you can stick them on a hard drive somewhere connected to a premium Plex account and give everyone access to those shows and movies that you want to preserve. It does involve someone in the circle knowing where to get the shows. But once they have them, they’re there for everyone in the group.
