# The Kind of Hate I Love

I live in Mississippi. This is relevant because it means that I know what it's like to have a dignified hatred for undignified rulers. If you're ruling based on ideaology, you're already wrong; even if your outcome is still just. Ideological leaders should be hated. No ideaology can perfectly align with reality, as no person can have access to absolute truth. We should make decisions based on what we see in front of us, constantly changing to fix our previous errors and misconceptions. Ideologies exist to ensure decision making is aligned with a single view of the world. Because of this, rulers who seek to rule based on set ideas of how the world work should be hated to the fullest extent.

# With a Cat on My Face

It's funny how we find ourselves when awesome things happen. I'm laying on my back with my laptop on my stomach when I find this site. I thought "what could I first post abot?" and a 20lb Maine Coon jumped up on my chest, started keeding on my shoulder, all while purring loudly with his nose stuck in my ear. That'll do cat. That'll do.

Laboratory autoclave workflow notes

Steam sterilization work is usually judged by consistency rather than speed. A small laboratory may run glassware, tools, culture media, or process parts in the same week, but each load still needs a clear cycle choice, appropriate packing, and a record that can be checked later.

When reviewing an autoclave for laboratory use, the practical details include chamber volume, temperature control, pressure safety, drying needs, and how operators confirm that a cycle reached the required sterilization conditions.

Loading and cycle selection

Loads should allow steam to reach every surface. Containers are usually loosened or vented, dense items are spaced apart, and liquid cycles are treated differently from wrapped tools or empty glassware. Overloading the chamber can make an otherwise correct cycle unreliable.

Records and routine checks

Basic records normally include the date, operator, load type, selected program, hold temperature, hold time, and any indicator result. Routine maintenance checks also matter, especially door seals, drain screens, water quality, and any alarms or pressure irregularities.

This note is intended as a practical equipment selection and workflow reference, not as a replacement for a validated sterilization procedure or local safety requirements.
