A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Another one is levelling.
A lot of people can see a picture frame is about 0.5° out of level and their fucking eye twitches until they fix it
Me included
That's nuts when you think about it
See, I live in an old apartment. The corners aren't 90°, the wall a picture is hanging on is convex. When I'm lying in bed and look at the picture it looks like it's crooked but I used a level several times on it and it's as straight as can be. It's driving me insane.
But “level” isn’t what you need. If the floor and ceiling aren’t level, it’ll look wrong.
This is when you set it relative to the rest of the unleveled stuff in your view to make it look level.
The tiles in my kitchen were installed slightly rotated so I had to do that with all my shelves
