Today I learned that "consecrated virgins" are a thing, if you want to be married to Jesus but not do the whole nun thing? It came up next to "godspousery," so this might actually be the Catholic equivalent of getting married to Loki??

as a sequel to this, I learned that Holy Unmercenary is an epithet a saint could get for treating the sick free of charge. One of them was someone called Sampson the Hospitable, which is a very good moniker, especially if like him you actually run a hospital.

Rodent taxonomy is confusing, as far as I can tell:
Most typical mice and rats belong to the family Muridae in the order Rodentia, specifically in the suborder Myomorpha(mouse-shaped). The other suborders of Rodentia are Sciurimorpha(squirrel-shaped), Castorimorpha(beaver-shaped) and Hystricomorpha(porcupine-shaped).

The problem is that rodents don't actually have names that fit their category, so you have for example:
- dormice and mountain beavers who are squirrel-shaped, but not spiny or pygmy dormice, those are mouse-shaped
- kangaroo rats/mice who are beaver-shaped
- rock rat is a name for like 6 different species, of which half are porcupine-shaped. Rock mice are mouse-shaped though
- moonrats are related to hedgehogs, who aren't rodents
- all mole-rats are porcupine-shaped, but naked mole-rats are part of a different family than all the other mole-rats, moles aren't related to them, but they are in the same order as hedgehogs
- similar deal with chinchillas and chinchilla rats, both porcupine-shaped, but different families.
- shrews aren't related, they're related to hedgehogs, but treeshrews are a sister order to the one containing lagomorphs and rodents
- bats? not related to any of the above, they're a sister clade to Eulipotyphla, who are the hedgehogs and moles and shrews I mentioned
- tenrecs, elephant shrews and golden moles aren't part of that group, they're related to elephants

I learned that Santiago Ramón y Cajal, one of the pioneers of neuroscience, artist whose sketches of the nervous system are still used in biology courses around the world and Nobel prize winner, also wrote a collection of five science fiction stories called Vacation Stories

edit: he wrote them under the pseudonym Dr. Bacteria, I feel like this is an important fact

I learned when 3D printing at weird angles due to print bed size constraints, always make sure that everything has supports :(

Unfortunately was standard FDM, just the thing I was trying to print wouldn't fit on the round bed it uses. would fit only on its side but the supports trashed the surface finish, going to borrow a friend's Ender 5 Plus and give that a shot, Cura says it'll fit no problems in the correct orientation so that should help out a lot.
