Non cult related but still a quick question.

Should I shave my head? I have long hair to my waist and it's a lot to wash it all the time, plus summer is here and it's hot.  I am only hesitant cause it took me years to grow and I've been committed till now but idk.  Thoughts?


I have had this thought every summer since I was about 17. 33 summers later, still have the long hair, and added a crazy long wizard beard about 5 yrs ago. Double the shower time, still worth it.

So i tried to do agar yesterday but the alcohol bottle i rigged was too tall for my pressure cooker.

How tall are those fancy bottles it is suggested to buy? I want to make sure it fits. I was very excited to work with my spore print...

Any 1L media bottle will be shorter than a liquor bottle, but they also sell them in 500mL and 250mL.

How tall is the inside of your pressure cooker? That will dictate what size will work best for you.

Did you see if it'll fit when tilted? Ive used a couple half pint jars to create a "cradle" for the top of a tall bottle to lay in while it's tilted on it's side.

A 500 ml media bottle is just under 7.25" tall with the lid, 250 ml is just under 5.5". It would be a very small pressure cooker not to fit one of those. :smile:

My 6 qt Instant Pot only fits pint jars and 250 ml bottles, so it mostly gets used for sterilizing reusable 60 mm plates and cryovials. But I do occasionally use it for small batches of agar or LC media in the 250 ml bottles. If you're using something like an IP, be sure to remember to let it vent steam for 5-10 minutes before setting it to seal (this applies to any PC, just easy to forget with IP because no food recipe calls for that), and use more time since it doesn't get to 15 psi (I give at least an hour for liquids, which may be overkill but it's safe).

I was recommended not to use jars to pour agar because they said "it will get everywhere." How much more difficult would it be to pour from agar?

Before I got media bottles I used to use something similar to these, a lot of salad dressings and BBQ sauces come in glass bottles that will work.

Ah don't have those unfortunately, I'll probably just buy a media bottle for like $20 if my jars don't work.

This lab-grade flask is perfect for agar. 5.99$  Table, scales, flask, thanks to Goodwill.  Glass beats all hell out of stainless for a sanitary surface.
