@vine-st in my currently limited experience it does make the sound deeper with quite a bit more bass, though not necessarily quieter. the ikbc beside me has these caps for everything and makes cherry mx blues sound that much more palatable.

Had a weird dream where I ordered burritos and @bogleech was the delivery person, we had a chat about ticks and he told me some interesting facts about them before having to continue on his delivery route.

5 important ticks fact!!!

1) What people think of as a tick’s “head” is just the mouthparts. The actual head is fused with the rest of the body, which is also where some ticks have eyes!

2) Ticks are just very large mites, the largest of all known mites.

3) Some ticks can live several years between feedings, just waiting and waiting for the right host to come by.

4) Most ticks move slowly and spend a lot of time just lying in ambush for a host but in the African savanna and certain deserts there are ticks adapted for high-speed running and they will follow your scent on the wind from very far away.

5) The ticks we’re familiar with that stick onto your flesh are “hard ticks.” There are also “soft ticks” which behave like bedbugs, coming out at night to bite their host for just a moment and hide again, but these are usually specialized parasites of bats and birds.

what is a scutum? for a momment I misread “scrotum”

The scutum is a protective, harder “shield!” In fact that’s all the word scutum means and it can be applied to the anatomy of many other animals.

Only hard ticks have a distinct scutum, which stays the same even when the rest of the tick bloats!

Anyway for people who haven’t extensively learned about ticks before this post, this is what a typical “soft tick” looks like:

Doesn’t that look nice though?? Like if you were tiny enough wouldn’t you want to curl right up on top of this pillowy tick and take the most amazing nap?? I bet it’d feel great as it gently walks around with you on it, too. They are very slow and lazy ticks.

Sometimes they walk up walls though, some of them even walk upside down in caves biting bats in their sleep. You might need to really strap yourself in there.
