Welch's Fruit Snacks. The Halloween packs are small and very snacky, only $0.10 each at costco.

 

Is there any community input on pork butts cooked via smoking or oven. I usually finish mine in the oven until center hits 205 ºF to render fat and reduce connective tissue. For me that means removing from the smoker after ~6 hours and finishing in the oven with an embedded temperature probe.

It comes out great but I'd love to hear some other preparations.

I'm not sure if this is the right community, maybe Introductions would be better. But I wanted to say my first week here has surpassed any and all expectations I had during signup.

If I hadn't taken the extra time to look at all available instances I may have missed out on having such a cool server as my base of operations for the Fediverse. Love the topics, love the user base, and looking forward to helping it grow.

 
 
 

The school year just ended but I wanted to show off what my class was able to accomplish with some cheap high school microscopes. The images below are under-leaf impressions of diocot and monocot plants which show the stomata used to control water evaporation. To avoid the preparation of slicing leaves themselves we painted a thin layer of nail polish on the underside. Peeling this dry layer off results in a mold of the leaf itself which can then be attached to a blank slide with cellophane tape.

Monocot @400x

My wife and I both have problems with gluten so we've been brewing our own GF beer for the last ~7 years. It was difficult to get started but the output is well worth the effort!

Most of them are darker brews (stouts, tripels, etc). This is one of our lighter holiday ales that came in ~8% ABV.

Hi everyone! Excited to join Mander, and Lemmy as an extension. It feels like the golden days of internet forums but with modern twists.

I'm a chemical engineer with research focus in bioprocessing for fuels and specialty chemicals. The last year or so I've also been teaching introductory biology courses.

My interests mainly fall under natural sciences and I'm looking forward to helping grow the community. Hobby-wise there's nothing better than a nice day fishing while enjoying a home-brew beverage, then a big family meal.

See y'all around!

In any laboratory, including ours, we always find the same result: Adolescents just are not as good as adults at cognitive control — except in studies where we say, if you do this trial correctly, we’re going to give you extra points for more money. And, miraculously, adolescents can then do it like adults.

As a teacher I've found this is key to motivation in the classroom. It's an amazing transformation for the 10-15 minute window.

After being on both sides of the experience, the chapter "Perhaps It’s Not You It’s Them: PhD Student-Supervisor Relationships" hits home.
