There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.
So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.
Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
It’s a little salty exaggeration but it was a group mainly of military people. The main guy went to work for the Pentagon years back and scrubbed his internet identity and sold/gave things to a member he trusted.
That member went nuts over covid and BLM. Started things like messaging me that because I wanted to invest in solar energy I was an enslaver of humanity working for China.
Knew the guy since we were teenagers but I just became an internet ‘other’ to him one day. He’s the one that made it a safe space for himself to post 13/50 screeds and shit.
So in this instance, the buddy became the Nazi.
Nope. I never really used Reddit. I haven’t touched Facebook since you needed an .edu email. Never got on any of the other platforms.
Main thing I used to use was just a small forum with a few people I knew for 20+ years until the guy who took over code and server maintenance made it a Nazi safe space.
distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring
I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.
In the sense that education is an adversary to the right wing, yes. The right wing treats those things as games. ‘It is their right to play’ as the saying goes.
In the 2002 context? No Child Left Behind was being implemented, which was essentially a foot in the door for privatizating every aspect of education so long as the students could pass standardized test scores. This implemented the conditions of today where public education funds are funneled to private operations while accepting private grants to guide and govern curriculum.
The collective age of this comment chain is now approximately 120.
We do a lil’ innvoation in the private sector here.
As an adult with a family: Yes, but nothing like when I was younger. The biggest shift for me primarily was to games that are not competitive or multiplayer.
I can’t do the 25-60 minute intense gaming sessions with or against other players. I have to be able to stop everything I am doing at a moment’s notice. I feel bad having to drop on people.
Also I can’t do the FPS games now because I’m old and my eyes just can’t anymore.
Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.
Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.
I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.
Bladder sourced is what the study determined, with the fluid being normal urine or Skene’s gland secretion, but likely some combination.
Plausibly there could be pure glandular secretion squirt. Or urine. But likely a mix.
Moral ABCs never disappoint.
They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.
A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.
It isn’t a paradox, or it doesn’t have to be. It isn’t a seemingly false or untrue statement that belies a deeper meaning.
It is a definitional and logical conclusion that a concept cannot tolerate its anathema and inverse.
Chemically tolerance means the limit at which something begins to degrade or an organism has to/begins to adapt. This is at least what I interpret with what is being brought up with tolerance of intolerance: when adaptation or degradation is required, the limits of tolerance have been reached.
Insert one shibboleth, like one bit of information critically wrong intentionally. Make lists of users who point it out for HR.
To be honest I had not explored the possibility a great deal on how the transmission would matter in conversion. I know a few companies had explored simulated gearboxes and transmissions for their vehicles, and that was about as deep as my understanding was.
I assumed the transmission and gearbox had utility in EV but it does appear less important. Most conversions from what I saw essentially lock the vehicle in a gear.
Still I feel like there’d be energy to save utilizing those components, but the benefit seems outweighed by the effort. I am no EV expert after all.
I have considered putting a banner like this on my old manual compact. I get post-it notes and flyers asking me to sell every other month.
Yeah the window seals are going moss, but I’ll convert that thing to EV before selling, and I’m seriously considering conversion.
Manual transmission EV would be nice…
The first one was fairly clever in that they had probably 50 years of collective ideas and inspiration to work off of. It’s a story that needed to push no boundaries and hold to established tropes, with no expectations because it was a ride: perfect for Disney.
Now when Disney gets their hands on an established franchise full of expectations…
How does piefed handle when communities have the same name but different purposes? Like ‘conservative’ being a ‘satire’ community on one instance and a breitbart repost community on another?
