I was hoping the "kachow" would fool people :(

He's right on that, but biologists love life so much and it's also an extremely bad look for them to say X thing isn't needed. That said, mosquitos that bite people aren't needed nor are the parasites they carry :). Some biologists(I almost typed 'parasites' there) don't even want to say that we can get rid of all mosquitos either.

The slip 'n slide calls, fren. It cares not for your consent, I'm afraid. The solar system has fallen, billions must slide.

We do something kind of similar to soften our ribs, just with the oven though. We add some ice and cook it at a low temperature for a good, long while and then pour out the water and season it properly. I fear what I may do with a pressure cooker if I ever get my hands on one though B^).

There are people who do still make proper antique furniture if you can find them. I imagine they're mostly on Boomerbook these days. Also speaking of resin tables, you reminded me of a table making video I saw a good while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yUn2nMfuAU
The idea of using something like clear resin is neat at least for making certain designs, but I'm not a fan of plastics. I've had ideas about making silver embedded in gemstones though. All synthetic, but hopefully cool B^).

I don't imagine the field guide would help me too much :'), the mushroom sightings in my area are very low. I gotta go some distance away, I think.

An electron microscope is still cool to use! Also I've had ideas for some experiments to challenge the notion that microbial activity stops at about 0.6 water activity(a measure mostly used in relation to food). Honey has a water activity of around 0.5-0.7 depending on things, as a reference and distilled water is 1(the benchmark) whilst seawater is like 0.98. The idea was to use something like an ever increasing solution of magnesium chloride solution for algae to grow in.
