Bipedal meatbag. Professor of volcano stuff on the Island of Hawai‘i.https://bsky.app/profile/bipedalmeatbag.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/bipedalmeatbag.bsky.social/post/3mv4unfdpec2dLook at this xenophobic bullshit from a research training I had to do. Unsure why they think this an international collaborator issue only, especially given that in my experience the biggest pains in the ass have been domestic… Super gross.10 Sep 2026 01:11 +0000at://did:plc:2b4ftstrqyh2s2qrr45h2wkr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4unfdpec2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/bipedalmeatbag.bsky.social/post/3mu3yqyskks2g“Our fridge smells like a corpse, meet me at the store before I burn the house down” is not a text you want to get.

I am currently sucking mystery slime out from my fridge's drip tray (it is stupidly fixed beneath the air compressor) with a used syringe I got from my neighbour who works with animals.

They quickly dropped the claim. Don’t rent from budget/avis is the lesson here.
