This is because the microscope blocks photons. OP should use a gamma camera or x-ray to see through the microscope body.

A drink company in Japan came out with a drink called 'nanchatte orenji' which looked a lot like soy sauce.

Blender is the gold standard for what a runaway success of foss looks like. I'd love to see FreeCAD get there, but they'll need significant investment to do so.

This is great. I totally bounced off of crank/crankstart, but I think I understand this toolchain better

snakes are wild animals, they're inherently a dangerous predator

That's how you sound. Have you been outside?

I could easily run from a shark. They don't even have legs

I don't know why the question was asked in the city. Go out to the forest women and ask them.

In general, people and bears don't want to hassle each other, doubly so for those in the woods. If you encounter either, you're probably going to be fine. However, bears won't stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you. Men won't go into a blind rage because hibernation season is around the corner and you're standing between them and a delicious tuna sandwich. Honestly if I'm alone in the woods I'd rather encounter an animal than a person because I was in the woods to be alone.

If you are in the woods and encounter a man or mountain lion

  • make yourself look as big as possible
  • maintain eye contact
  • demonstrate you are a threat
  • don't trust his lies

If you encounter a bear

  • avoid getting between a mother and her cubs
  • take extra precautions to bearproof your food at your campsite
  • back away slowly while facing the bear (without maintaining eye contact)
  • under no circumstances should you fight a bear

In Android, holding power and selecting "lockdown" locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you're at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

For the people who read "fertilize" and think pollinate: plants already do this a lot.

I'm not going to knock this research, but we're doing so much work in understanding and cultivating the soil microbiome which seems more promoting. For example, bean plants, especially will do a lot to cultivate nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and farmers are starting to add bacteria to the soil like they would add fertilizer.

One thing people forget is long distance fees. Cell phones basically did away with long distance fees, and we're better for that. However, landlines have some notable benefits:

  • self-powered, you could call in a power outage
  • high fidelity, yeah it was bandpass filtered, but everything in that filter made it through
  • freedom of usage, it was hard-fought but you could plug anything into your phone line, from more phones to answering machines to computer modems. There was a whole market around "dumb shit you plugged into your phone line" products

We're still way better overall with cell phones, but something was lost to get them.
