MILES VORKOSIGAN. AT THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN, TRICKED AN ENTIRE MERCENARY FLEET INTO FOLLOWING HIM WITHOUT CONSIDERING THAT IT WAS HIGH TREASON. AT AGE OF TWENTY-TWO LOCKED THREE CONSECUTIVE “SUPERIOR” OFFICERS IN ADJACENT CELLS, THREATENED TO BLOW UP THE EMPEROR, AND TOLD SIMON THAT HE JUST SORT OF ASSUMED HE’D HAVE WANTED HIM TO SAVE GREGOR IN ADDITION TO MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DENDARII (STOPPING A WAR WAS A PERK, AS WAS GETTING PAID THREE TIMES.)

SLEPT WITH A TEENAGE WEREWOLF IN A BASEMENT AND DEALT A BLOW TO ONE OF THE OLDEST HOUSES ON JACKSON’S WHOLE FROM WHICH THEY WOULD NEVER RECOVER. SOLVED AN INFANTICIDE, SAVED HIS BROTHER (AND, PERHAPS, BARRAYAR, BUT THAT WAS SECONDARY BY THEN), LED A MASS BREAKOUT FROM HELL ON CHARISMA (AND FOURTEEN SHUTTLES AND SEVERAL CARGO SHIPS) ALONE, AND SAVED THE CETAGANDAN EMPIRE…TWICE. YOUNGEST IMPERIAL AUDITOR EVER AND FIRST IN THE VORKOSIGAN FAMILY LINE, SO EAT THAT, PIOTR (he would be proud, I’m sure of it.) WON THE HEART OF EKATERIN NILE VORVAYNE VORSOISSON, WHICH HONESTLY IS A FEAT OF WHICH NO MORTAL MAN IS WORTHY. 

NOT THE HERO MEGALOMANIACAL, MANIC-DEPRESSIVE, MACHIAVELLIAN MIDGET BARRAYAR DESERVES, BUT ALMOST CERTAINLY THE ONE IT NEEDS.

I would like to apologize not only to Andrew Robinson and to God, but also to whoever did the camera work for s2e5 “Cardassians.” You could not have known that I would use your footage for evil.

Anonymous asked:

why do you inject air into the vial before drawing t into the syringe?

A medication vial is a closed system where no air can naturally flow in to replace lost volume. This keeps the interior sterile, but it also makes it so you have to inject air to “pre-replace” the volume you’re going to take out when you draw up the T. If you don’t do this, a slight vacuum forms in the vial which makes it increasingly difficult to pull T out. Eventually, if you try to draw up T, the vial would just suck it back in.

Since T is so thick, injecting air also creates some back pressure that makes it easier to draw the T. With thinner medications, when you inject air into a vial, the medication actually draws itself up into the syringe because of the extra pressure in the vial.
