Apathy Tree

Tangental: your comment made me curious where, in global terms, hurricanes are even able to form. Surprisingly (to me), a lot of areas.

Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)

I’d fill this out, but I think my results would be a weird outlier because I do get pretty good coffee, but it comes from a dent/bent/slightly out of date discount grocery sort of place so I pay $3-4/lb rather than the $10-15/lb it would normally be.

Unless this one works differently than the one I read about a month or so ago, which isn’t at all clear from this article, no, probably not something we can get as kids.

The reason is that, at least at the moment, you need a sample of the cancer itself and protein markers for each individual, and each cancer type, so it’s a vaccine that you get only after you get the cancer. Plus it’s multiple doses over the course of several weeks.

They also aren’t sure if the cancer will come back after being eradicated, so for now they have no idea how effective it will be, nor how long it’ll last.

But this is a technology very much in its infancy. The first trial ever was earlier this year, so… who knows where it’ll go from there. Maybe they will be able to isolate enough common markers for enough cancers to have a childhood vax for prevention. Almost certainly a long ways off tho.

That’s giving me big Alice in wonderland flamingo croquet mallet vibes. I’m envisioning a house covered in little birds sticking in by their beak, feet all a wigglin.

There’s next to none in all water, when measured by volume.

But things concentrate, so the 0.00005% adds up over time.

Considering it’s also in the water, probably not, no.

Maybe, although the flavor of that probably does change somewhat due to being boiled, just like I imagine the bee concentration/dehydration process adds something.

I would love to see a sword of truth series, but not done as an action thriller with shallow characters, because that’s just not what it is, damnit.

Have you ever tasted flower nectar?

I grow gladiolus sometimes, and they produce a lot of nectar, but there aren’t any pollinators for those flowers around me, so I remove the nectar myself with a syringe. There isn’t a lot in each flower, but it’s nice in a cup of tea.

It doesn’t really taste like honey, even dilute honey. It doesn’t taste like just sugar water, either, though. I’m sure each flowering plant produces a subtly different flavor, like fruit.

And indeed, honey apparently tastes different depending what the bees are feeding on. But I’d say it’s probably a mix of something bee-specific and the nectar itself.

I thought you were saying the book is a bit pricy the way a tabletop art book in the $100 range is pricy. So I went to see if it was something I could justify for a friend of mine as a gift… but nope, way too expensive is 100% accurate. $620. Holy shit. It’s pricy the way textbooks are pricy (the worst textbook I got was $1200, and it resold for around $600… wasn’t rentable, and no pdf at the time)

I had a puppy that specifically ate the crotch of all my underpants in the laundry. She was pooping out ladybugs and tye dye for days.

What do you think would be the most offensive thing to say to a bear? Or maybe there’s a hand gesture or something that’s really taboo?

I just want to be prepared in case I ever need to know.

For me it’s this comic (keeping to things related to SpongeBob). It’s kinda long, multiple pages, but definitely worth it.

You can make or buy something like this if you can’t do clips.

Im super glad it works for you, same with a self-directed name :)

No need for sorrow, I think I’m just too old to see myself the way I’d have liked several decades back :)

Either way, I hope you have a wonderful night friend! I hope to run into you again :)
