    @ScienceDesk I use both hands, but I wouldn't call it ambidextrous. I'm kind of similarly clumsy with both hands. I write left-handed, and do most other things (play guitar, throw) right-handed. Precision things tend to get the left hand, strength things the right. And, I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at using either one. My handwriting is terrible and I can't draw for shit.

    Seabird populations were soaring: a breeding colony of 2,000 sooty terns had established themselves on Bikar, whereas the year before there had been none. Jacques saw greater crested terns and brown noddies nesting on the ground, a Christmas shearwater — a dark-brown seabird which he says has never been recorded on Bikar before — and species of geckos and land crabs that were absent in 2024. “(Species) that were undetectable before, because they were so suppressed by the rats, were re-appearing,” he says. One of the most striking signs of success was the thousands of seedlings of the native Pisonia grandis trees that had sprung up across the forest floor. In 2024, they had counted zero. “To come back onto the island and immediately see a carpet of seedlings was a real early indication for me that something radical has changed here,” says Jacques.

    Chemicals I've tried: hexanes, 70% EtOH in water, MeOH, acetone, wd40, "motsenbocker's liftoff", toluenetoluene might do it, but the smell is too strong and once again we have the issue of it basically just running down the grooves in the door (putting it on a paper towel didn't seem to get a lot of stuff, partially because it doesn't want to fit in the grooves, using a microfiber towel has now given me weird spots that look moldy from the blue microfiber lint...)
