I have a few myself although for very different reasons. They're useful for paperclips, tiny batteries and other assorted small stuff.

How in the world do so many people who use Petri dishes wind up here randomly??!!

@@firesurfer because mushrooms

Hi fellow geologist(I'm not one I just wish I was :( ) Fill them with torbernite and give them to kids as super power candy :P

That's funny, we do the same thing! Even used them to separate gold from pyrite with a microscope and the tip of a pencil 🤣

I dunno, that bubble gum mess was pretty abominable.

Could put the shed bits in the petri dishes & see if they grow...

It's like he glitter bombed himself

You've never met my girlfriend.....

@@Tinker001 It's from china so lets hope nothing grows...

At least these do not go boom and kill people like some government shipments.

Yes, completely disgusting.

Meh. It’s not like it has some premium delivery or something. Just thrown in the huge shipments of other stuff together. A bunch of good and bad.

Wait until you hear about cotton.

I kept thinking it was a great plan to redistribute the load of recyclables/trash around the world.

OMG did you create covid and then discard it for us all to enjoy😂

Cthulhuloid spawn screeches from plastic petri dish in the trash

Great for the environment!

Let me know if he gets an ethereal nether vortex. I need to get a video of it this time.

@@malcontender6319 get a good camera strap! Lost an expensive camera to the vortex.

A tentacle will grow and strangle anyone that gets close

I would actually not be surprised if he also owns an incubator for some reason. 😅

Yes

Yupp, that's what I was thinking as well.

It looks like it’s been unraveled

Or a belly dancers skirt

When he said "Hairy thing" I figured it was some really bad weave

I bought a whole bunch of them, they're absolutely terrible. They look NOTHING like they were advertised. I've kept a load of them in a junk drawer somewhere in case I need a load of gold string for some reason.

​@@del-boysnostalgiatvads7416 why

Or analyze the chemical ingredients of those Rustlers delicacies.

That could potentially cause a pandemic of a long forgotten disease.

Just swab that sofa. A Nobel prize could be yours.

@@norbertmedlicott8376 I was reading the comments about to put this. Then you stopped me in my tracks. Hats off to you sir

he’d need a lot more equipment since that’s literally just plastic ie incubator and agar

I've carried 10 glass petri dishes filled with agar. They're not that heavy, not at that size. Also, you can resterilize glass dishes. You just stick them open in the oven at 200 for 2 hours. Tissue culture does tend to use a lot of one-use plastic stuff though.

You just said everything I was coming here to say! I have dropped so many plastic ones (bacterial and fungal cultures)... And I can't imagine the disaster I would cause with glass.

@@Mrsthallium ouch dude can't have been good for you even with the plastic

@@GirishManjunathMusic Nah. You normally wrap the dish once it's inoculated to avoid opening it accidentally, and the plastic (I assume some kind of polycarbonate) is fairly strong. If you drop one from your hand it won't even crack. At the worst the culture is ruined by cross-contamination or something, depending on what you're doing. The way to make a huge mess with Petri dishes is to drop a stack of 20 when you're moving them to the fridge for cooling, because at that point the agar is still liquid. It'll go everywhere and once it cools it'll stick to surfaces.

@@450AHX no I've worked with plenty of agar plates and boats and gels. For over 6 years. You're right that a well-wrapped stack wouldn't be too damaged by dropping it, but if it was a single plate, dropped while moving it from the incubator to the hood? That can and has been very bad for people. Especially if you're working in an underfunded understaffed overworked government hospital laboratory and you don't follow most of the best practices as they have been abandoned in favor of speed. And also you definitely would have gotten chewed out by the laboratory assistants and your superiors for hours if you had dropped an inoculated plate no matter how well it was wrapped.

The plastic ones are also sterile when they come out of the bag. They can be used for applications that need sterility, but they're single-use.

Working in a professional research lab, I don't think I have ever used a glass petri dish, we use disposable plastic ones almost universally, as they are sterilised in the factory and so are clean when you remove them from the bag inside the sterile air hood(although I wouldn't trust the cheap knock off ones from Amazon returns either!).

I've never used glass ones for any use, they had gone out of use by my university time and first lab job in the 80s.

Now all Ashens needs is to order some returned human egg cells and he can grow a progeny!

@@phildman132 Honest question, why wouldn't a professional research lab just use an autoclave and glass dishes?

I don't use them

@@kinnikuboneman Fine, I'll edit my comment just for you

I've never used them, either.

@@peterclarke7240 Too late, I edited my comment for the other guy already

I'd just declare in absolute that _evvvveryone_ uses them just to spite any outliers 😄

And nothing has majorly changed since those days. Even the intro is the same

And how dja'know that last bit?

@@dgmt1 The S10 had HDMI over USB-C. I have a USB-C HDMI cable and it works for hooking my phone up to my TV, only issue is it does not have a usb-c power input so the phone loses battery charge while watching TV with it, so I need to wirelessly charge it. Also, iPhones have had HDMI adapters from the old iPad cable days up to modern Lightning cable equipped ones.

That's correct. Most HTC One phones, Samsung Galaxy S3-S7 and Xperias had the support for it.

How well does it protect against concrete? Got a kid who might have some level of Chiari Malformation and he's constantly dropping things Got through several Amazon fires 🤷 I swear the glass on em is prop department breakaway glass

Open le nor

Nice to see him collecting new crap to next years advent calendar for nerdcubed.

The more time I can digitally spend with Ashens, the more prepared I am to live.

todays advent video?

@@Max-uv3eg The advent video for today

@@Max-uv3eg Ashens and his mate Nerdcubed do a series of daily videos in December where they open the relevant doors on whatever advent calendars they each have this year, with a competitive element as one of them wins or loses each day depending ow what they got from their calendar. Today's advent calendar video was 21 minutes long, which is particularly long compared to most videos in that series, whilst this video, which on paper (or it's digital equivelant?) ought to have been a longer video, actually comes in shorter.

How did it find its way from Iolcus to the Amazon? A story worth a new Homer, i guess.

I was hoping that he would use it as a wig, but was sorely disappointed.

@@gwivongalois6169 that warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones got bought out by Amazon.

I'd pay to see that.

@@norbertmedlicott8376 The new patron level for Ashen's channel: Gold Toupee.

Took me a moment to translate 'cats'.

Agreed

That’s 100% what it is. I have the exact same one but in silver

Searched for this before I made my own comment. Always knew them as either bead or string door curtains, depending

Ah good to know! I was wondering who needed fringe that long

yes it is, had something similar. Got rid of it as it was a risk for pets.

Could possibly be an SE though. 2nd gen onwards obviously

@@ticklemyjohnNope, it is the 6/6S the camera layout its awfully high.

@@psp4gamer alright fair enough you clearly know your stuff lmao I'm just impressed I got the Apple part 😂

Dual cameras on iPhone only started with the 7 Plus. They only stayed horizontal for one more generation with 8 Plus, before the iPhone X's vertical orientation was retained with XS and later.

@@dimples282 It says it on the bag tho, the chinese got their model like this 6P/6PS i messed up it is the 6 Plus (The extra thingy on the side its for the flash/mic)

Sons tablet has lasted from age 1 to 3 so far! Those cases are outstanding. Survived loads of throwing, drink spills, and even teething.

JFC get your kid off that thing asap.

If you like dopiaza try a chicken bhuna or beef or no meat soooooo nice 👍

Also, some of the later versions of Android had that feature removed. IIRC the feature was first added in ice cream sandwich which was also called android 4.0 released back in 2011. So it is possible the device you tested it on did not have that feature as the phone or tablet manufacturer may have removed it. The last tablet case looks like it might be for one of the kindle fire kids models. Although it might be a cheap knockoff of the official one that Amazon has made for their kindle fire tablets.

I was wondering if it was actually a capture card of some type

It used to work on Samsung Galaxy phones but the S5 was the last to be compatible in I think 2015, and only a few other manufacturers used them.

I never knew that was a thing. I assumed it required some app to send an encoded video stream over USB when I saw that.

I have a 5 pin one of that, was just gonna say, it's an MHL adapter. Works like a charm on my phone obviously because it has MHL out (4K one at that for whatever reason). The adapter works perfect, a passive cable I got, plugged to a proper passive MHL HDMI port didn't. And it costs more than the adapter.

The only probably is that the trash to useful ration is like 2/5. So you either end up throwing away a lot and feeling guilty about it, or you become a hoarder.

Iphone 6s case

The camera hole looks small relative to the case, so my money's on the 6 Plus or 6S Plus.

@@dsgamecube Exactly as I thought. Even more evidence, it says 6P/6PS on the label of the envelope. It’s definitely for them.

I'll drink to that.

Where can I get the cleaning kid?

@@bandname lol

There didn't seem to be any agar in there, so if the bags don't already have visible mold on them you're probably not going to end up with visible mold inside a plastic tray.

An excellent growth culture.

Wait did you MAKE a pandemic board game, or did you buy one? I’m so curious lol

@@theconfusingwords There exists a board game named Pandemic. Made by Matt Leacock and published by Z-man Games in 2008. It's played cooperatively, players try to erradicate four deadly diseases before mankind falls. Disease outbreaks are represented by little acrylic cubes. The Petri dishes would add a certain element of dread to the whole experience. Not that that's even neccessary, as the game is BRUTAL.

@@alameachan oh that’s so cool! I love board games so had to ask. Thanks for sharing that info!

@@theconfusingwords You're welcome. :)

It’s called being British.

Not Flimmish?

Oh, is that what the random face is?

He's still about? I know his KZfaq account has been quiet for a while now. Shame because I always enjoyed his videos.

Given I've bought stuff from Amazon Warehouse that hasn't even been opened, I think some people order stuff just for the fun of returning it.

It looks so bland, it almost makes me think it was rather intended for the use in a heavy-duty environment, such as an industrial facility or for outdoors work.

I have that exact one on my son's tablet. It has honestly saved it numerous times even bouncing the whole way down the stairs. Absolutely worth it.

On one of his previous videos like this, Ashens mentioned that a lot of these Chinese sellers send out junk to random or even fake addresses on purpose. It’s called brushing. It’s a way for them to fraudulently boost sales and obtain positive feedback for their clients' products on e-commerce sites. So the package will bounce back. That’s why a lot of those shops are packed with that unwanted chinese crap. Or at least that’s what I’m thinking. Could be wrong.

There's one such store 15 or so miles away from my house. The owners buy pallets of Amazon returns and fill up bins in the store. Everything is one flat price, which varies depending on the day of the week. I visited multiple times after the store first opened, but I haven't visited in over 2 years. The reason is because there's rarely anything good or useful. Just a lot of random, off-name plastic junk from China.

I bought that exact foam case for my 2 year old grandson's kindle. It works. We are all clumsy

A Scrapheap Challenge for the 2020s?

an entire advent calendar of mystery return items would be pretty evil/hilarious

The 6P/6PS at the end of the product code probably indicates iPhone 6/6S.

Also the tablet case is for ipad mini

dumpster diving is actually quite lucrative, you just need to know where to hit what shops. Only way to find out tho is to go diving yourself or have a buddy tell you. Got plenty of good pieces of furniture for essentially free that just needed a couple new screws.

American layout is the good one though. I bought a used laptop with a Danish keyboard and _this one_ is bad for symbols.

Could you not just autoclave them?

@@NAJALU Can you autoclave plastic?

Yeah i think cos its the adapter, ya need the converter to make it work.

Cool, what kind of crawlies do you keep?

@@peterpop-off I have a bunch of tarantulas, a vinegaroon, several isopod colonies and a "beetle bin" filled with various beetles and a few dubia roaches that reached maturity before I could feed them off to my various pets. I also have a pacman frog, a leopard gecko, a painted turtle and a cat. I work from home, and taking care of them all is my main hobby. I don't think I could do it if I didn't work from home.

I use a cleaned-up Pringles can lid as a food dish for my snails. I took the lid from my nephew's Pringles years ago and it has lasted all this time.

hehe

Har-de-har-har.

DING!

Any day he uploads is a great day

The lack of replies and 1 like made me think this was a bot account but it's genuinely the official KZfaq channel 🤯
