Well this is interesting

Around here the water company owns a few like that. They are pumping stations and for water quality monitoring, but look like normal houses. Turns out the cheapest way to build something industrial in a zoned housing area was to buy a house and disguise your equipment.

My mom has been using reusable bags since the 80s, when she got all sorts of weird ass looks. She’s a hippie, and gives no fucks about those sorts of things, LOL. She has some cotton bags from Lucky, that she’s been using for over 40 years. I think she’s doing OK.

Mine are significantly newer, but I figure I’ve got years left to use them. Plus, I agree with the video that using any bag you already own is better than any new bag (disposable or reusable).

Not “news”, but–for me–definitely in the “hm” category. Today’s NYT mini crossword:

1 down: Confront, as facts.
2 down: You can’t trust their stories
7 across: Group of conspirators.

I haven’t checked their figures.
(The mass of insects, subsumed under arthropods, kinda seems a bit low to me. But as I said, I haven’t checked anything.)

Their source on biomass is actually this same paper here. :slight_smile:

Insects were noted as small compared to their species richness, in contast to marine arthropods where single species like krill could have large biomasses.

If I could “read” hexadecimal, would this site make more sense?

I don’t think it would hurt, but sense was/is not the aim.

OK. I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t oblivious to something even deeper.

But we all are, are we not.

Yes. But I am especially oblivious to things mathmatical.

I sympathize. As well for me do the undercurrents of that murky science quickly run overly deep.

I only today found out that Crosby did an entire album en français.

It has zooming animation.

It hurts.

I know that zooming and flashng did not always hurt for me, but I cannot conceive how that could be, or what that was like, or how that could be like anything.

So for me the site does not make sense, and it leaves me wondering how much can make sense.

For me, that could mean that you’ve understood it just fine.

Nice Pictured Rocks picture, though I don’t generally picture Lake Superior being that color.
