Thanks EJ!
I really admire your images as well, so keep posting!!!!
Thanks. Well I didn't have time lately, but hiking season starts soon.

I may not have the best job, but I definitely have an awesome job
Spoiler:
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Ah the leftover of my lunch.

Thanks Nessus.
Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?
I may not be a veterinarian, but I'm pretty sure that hammer, screwdriver and pliers are not the proper tools to dissect a horse's head?

And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Proper according to which metric? So long as the animal in question is dead, no one cares from a legislative point of view, and the spiritual one has little place on the campus of natural science.Originally Posted by Khendraja'aro

By the professional metric, having been around people who had to dissect stuff on a regular basis
I'd have expected at least a scalpel, given that those are sharp.

I'm not sure who you're talking to. During human anatomy, we routinely used Stryker saws and hammer/chisel for bones. Scalpels were useful for fiddly bits of soft tissue, but most stuff could be done with a probe and forceps with some scissors thrown in for good measure.By the professional metric, having been around people who had to dissect stuff on a regular basis

Scalpels and other high quality surgical instruments are very useful for survival surgeries when you need precision above all, but aren't that useful for dissections, to be honest. I only use them for very delicate tasks like severing ACLs/MCLs of rat knees, not the grosser dissections.
Even in surgery, though, we regularly use power tools. This isn't just for animal work - we work with a lot of plastics guys and orthopedic surgeons, and they use them a lot. Obviously the surgical tools are a bit more refined for human work, but basic hardware and tools are often the easiest and most effective for a given task.
I understand that the aforementioned object is merely one of a number of severed heads in the the possession of the Dept. of Physics at the University of Helsinki. They keep them in the fridge, and mutilate them using, quote, "iron spikes and screw drivers". They intend to use them to build a "masticating robot".
Everything I just wrote is 100% literally true.
The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun
This would be 100% more awesome if they mutilated them using ion spikes and mass drivers.

I'm not sure what the current %age of awesomeness they're operating at, but readings on the "chilling" scales are off the chart.

Win.
Well, our need was fairly singular, and there was no reason to preserve anything else of the head. A scalpel was used on soft tissue, as well as hunting knives etc., but the most labourious part was removal of the bone.

What were you trying to obtain, anyway?

Hmmm...the photo makes me think of The Godfather.....but more awesome
I've never been more curious about Nessie's job until now.
My Mom gave me this ugly little bulb in a planter for Mother's Day. Since then, it has grown to about a foot tall, and has put on these pretty blossoms!

I always thought you give something to your mom on mothers day.

I did! I gave her a real cell phone that she can hear and actually use. She also gives me something, although I have no idea why. She just always has since The Kid was born.

Well grandchildren are probably the greatest gift you can give your parents, so I understand. Oh... now I feel guilty for disappointing my parents

Some photos from Sunday, a small hicke (2 -3 hours) at the Walensee. (Lake Walen). A good hiking region for me, only a half an hour to an hour driving distance. Unfortunately always also crowded on weekends.
The Seerenbachfalls, middle and lower fall, the middle fall is with 305m the tallest single fall in Switzerland (but not the tallest cascade)
