Thank you. I did see some cool stuff though!Great work getting videos through the scope. I only wish the subject was more enjoyable (and not dinos).
No, I have not purchased one. It is just so expensive for a decent one.I'm sure you have been asked this before, but I'm double checking. Do you have a UV Sterilizer on your tank? I had a diatom problem so I bought a big one -- the diatoms were completely gone in two days.
I get it. I got mine thanks to my tax return from Uncle Sam.No, I have not purchased one. It is just so expensive for a decent one.
That is quite the compliment thank you.I missed many of post but needed to check in.
The photo and video with the microscope was very cool but what a nasty thing to deal with.
I have had nasty nurses but we all have bad days and you will find nasty people everywhere. I also had some nurses that turned out being outstanding.
Meeting nurses is something I look forward to during a not so good time
I would be honored to have you as my nurse
Is that hair or horns? Not sure who she is though.Speaking of nasty nurses...
Cool. Did you have to get intentionally burned?Lol- I paid for Katie’s engagement and wedding rings, and a post-proposal 4 day live aboard dive trip to the Channel Islands using money I got doing clinical trials for a burn unit at Stanford, while we both worked there.

That was great! Thank you for sharing. Not a story you hear every day.You ready for this?...
I got hit in each outer thigh with a 1200w 2” square thermocouple plate to simulate a second degree burn.
Then they placed 3 intradermal catheters on each side, hooked up to a continuous peristaltic pump collecting 1ml fractions for 6 hours at a rate of 1 sample/10 minutes. They were tested for various cytokines and chemokines in an attempt to decipher the immune cascade that happens in response to burn.
On the right side, they hit me with 1 minute of 400-420nm UV light at a dose that mimicked 30 minutes of noon sun at the tropics, every hour. On the left, a daylight full spectrum with a 420nm bandpass filter was used.
Then I got to play my PlayStation portable for 6 hours while getting paid at my job, and $1500 for the study.
If I wear shorts, you can still see the burns if I catch the sun and get a bit red.
Study two was the same setup, minus the additional sunburns. Instead- they placed the thermocouple on the burn, ramped up the temp and timed how long I took to push a stop button. 90% of the reviews timed out because I have lame nerves and couldn’t actually feel it heating up. The other ten percent I’m sure were just coincidental twitches. 4 hours, $900. I actually broke the guys stats as I was such an outlier, but he couldn’t drop me unless he could prove my results were abnormal. So,...
#3 was a pain sensitivity test profile using the same setup as 2, but I had to hit stop when I started to feel ‘something’. End result is that I apparently have only 70-80% nerve density of a ‘normo’ , and specifically my burn pain nociceptors are 60% normal. Paid $500. Results explain all my amateur chef- related burns on my arms and hands.
#4 was a repeat of #1, then a follow up at day +4 to look at cytokines relief. Two 6 hour sessions, $2400.
I spent $1200 on my Jeep and the rest went to the rings and proposal trip.
EASY EASY MONEY!!
Ouch!You ready for this?...
