I rarely arrived at the lab before 10am as an undergrad intern. (And usually stayed until 7–8pm because I goofed around too much and it took forever to get all the cells taken care of 🫠)
Flexible schedules are a luxury I miss dearly

we used Macs at my last lab
I hated them because I'm a Linux nerd but at least they were reliable
(I suppose if my research PC ran Linux I'd spend all my time configuring it instead of researching...!)

INDOOR PLUMBING
I live in an apartment complex. The thought of having to share an outhouse (more than 1 if lucky) with hundreds of strangers TERRIFIES ME. And/or use chamberpots. FUCK NO
A BLESSED ETERNAL AFTERLIFE OF BLISS FOR ALL HUMANS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO INDOOR PLUMBING SCIENCE 😩

stand on the right of the escalator, walk on the left, or go to fucking jail
(reversed in countries where they drive on the left)

In addition to other reasons listed in replies, there's a fair bit of bacteria that excrete antifungal compounds into their environment so that they can colonize it more effectively than the mold.
There are viruses that attack fungi, too.
Any environment that hasn't been sterilized by some means is a constant microbial warzone between bacteria, fungi, algae, archea, viruses, etc. with the current winners being determined by how favorable the conditions (moisture, pH, toxin concentration, etc.) are to each species.

Could be one batch or many. A "batch" means different things in different food industry contexts and has more to do with ingredient tracking than production timespan

They probably do. Though, food industry metal detectors have to regularly be calibrated with check wands: plastic bars with very small embedded metal fragments designed to mimic possible contaminants like brush wire, oven conveyor pieces, etc.
When I was QA at a food plant that used them, there were numerous problems with the metal detectors.
- Line operators were haphazardly trained on calibration and how fucking important it is to do it correctly and on time. Lots of operators rushed or skipped calibration and falsified the logs. The fact they were rushed, overworked, and underpaid didn't help.
- The detectors had a high false-positive rate, leading to a "oh it's probably nothing" attitude.
- Management didn't want to spend ANY money on maintenance and upgrades that would have prevented metal contamination or decreased detection errors.
To this day I still have a lot of anxiety eating factory food because of the nightmares I witnessed at that place...

I have a NYP←→Trenton NEC 1-way expiring tomorrow. If l activate it and post the QR code, is it possible for somebody to get some use out of it? (I don't take NJ Transit often, so no idea) Edit: ticket was successfully redeemed! :)

I've noticed that rather butch-styled gals often seem to enjoy wearing brightly colored and patterned, feminine Wellies style rain boots meanwhile the most high femme, wearing-waterproof-full-face-makeup-in-a-downpour girly gals will strap on some duck boots made for stompin' both of these aesthetic juxtapositions make my lil gay heart melt. that is all
I think one depressing example is innovation in weapons and other dangerous fields. "If we don't build it, someone else will first" is unfortunately historically been shown to be true, has it not? Today's unsavory borderline reactionary doomposting brought to you by: my crippling fear that I'm isolating myself in a political echo-chamber (so naturally I gotta hop online and exclusively ask my fellow leftists)
disclaimer: was not today, was years ago when I was in high school Did you know most consumer inkjet printers use either a piezoelectric crystal or a tiny heating element in each print head to produce small, consistent ink droplets? *I didn't!* So I tried cleaning my mom's printer heads with rubbing alcohol. Which unclogged them! And then promptly set the printer on fire after being ignited by the heat and/or sparks. My family will never let me live this down.
I have gotten into many arguments over this one
"Sega Channel was a project developed by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive video game console. Completely revolutionary at the time of release (bar a failed attempt with the earlier Intellivision console), it was a method capable of streaming digital content to Mega Drive owners through cable television."
