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

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

...now? I feel like climate has been the "old reliable" culture war issue when climate denialists need to generate buzz on a slow news day going back at least 20 years.

This is a tactile map, it's designed to help people with vision issues navigate the bathroom. Public tactile maps are super awesome!

I have one of these, and the analog stick started to get some drift. NBD, I thought, I'll just pick up a new stick and swap it out.

Turns out, I'm rubbish at desoldering. So now I have a pile of parts until I get up the courage to try again.

No, you might be a primitivist, feudalist, syndicalist, or any of many other ways of organizing society. What you adopt will depend on your values and how you perceive the relationship between people and capital. Ultimately the labels are helpful up to a point, because the application of theory, or praxis, will manifest in ways to meet the need of your time.

Just to get ahead of it, capitalist can mean both one who supports capitalism as a way to organize society, and one who owns capital. From context it's clear we mean the former definition.

His response is absolutely not an appropriate response for an equal partner to make, and he knows it and knows you didn't do it to "make him feel guilty." He feels bad and so he wants you to feel bad, and that's just not how adults deal with their feelings. I feel close to this because I could see myself slipping into being like this person if I weren't devoted to being an equal partner.

If he wants to be an equal partner, he needs to own up to his mistakes, acknowledge the emotional labor you're doing, and come up with accommodations for his shortcomings. You have tried to accommodate for him, and that's just taking on more emotional labor without any payoff. You're not his mother, your his spouse, you shouldn't have to tell him what, when, and how to take care of these things. He may need accommodations, and he can ask for help, but you can't accommodate for him.

That said, my spouse and I both struggle with ADHD and one way we've accommodated our shortcomings is we have a stamp sheet which we fill out every week with cute stamps depending on who completed the task (mine is a penguin). It's taken a lot of the emotional labor off of both of us, and shows what we need to do or if we're done for the week and can relax. I'm not saying that solution will help in your case, but recognizing he has a problem, needs accommodations which may involve the whole household is the second step he needs to take. The first, of course, being that he needs to stop trying to make you feel bad because he feels bad. He's gotta cut that shit out.

Researching plant genomes! Honestly, it's a lot of fun.

I think this is a really interesting take. Communism doesn't mean taking a vow of poverty or being a good person, but I can see how it would seem hypocritical to not spend that money funding support for labor rather than hoarding it.

It's probably worth exploring why people over 14 listen to his music and his politics. One interesting reason is people who resonate with the emotional core of the music, but disagree or don't understand his politics. Another is people who genuinely feel that violence may be necessary to bring about communism. Additionally, some people feel catharsis listening to violent music/media without supporting violence.

I think it's worthwhile to empathize with people you disagree with. It can help better understand their viewpoint and solidify yours by contrast.

I'm curious, do you have any recommendations for music made by leftists who aren't rich and don't support violence? It's ok if not, I'm just interested in expanding my listening.

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

Some version of this concept has floated (pun intended) around for a while. Thing is that plastics are an energy dense "food source" and once something evolves a way to metabolize it they'll have a huge advantage.

It's like how glyphosate tolerance has appeared in weed plants already. Evolution is always looking for an angle.

Trains have some weird environmental impacts, but they all can be mitigated through careful planning. Electric trains can be 100% renewables-powered, take less space for the level of transportation they can provide, are easily integrated next to green spaces, etc.

One problem trains face is steel. From a harm-reduction standing, trains use less steel than cars, but if we're going to look at it from a solar punk perspective, we can't ignore the energy it takes to prepare hundreds of miles of track that needs to be repaired and replaced regularly. The challenge here is effectively with manufacturing, and it can be mitigated with efficient electric or hybrid furnaces with careful consideration as to the disposal of slag.

Another challenge is that trains disrupt natural environments. Tracks would need to be elevated, put underground, or other features would need to be included to minimize impact on the natural environment.

Something else considerable is that trains produce and distribute pollution. Brake dust, lubricating oil, and other man-made waste makes its way to the tracks and beyond. Environmental cleanup would have to be part of the plan for a solarpunk train system.

One thing that attracts me to the solarpunk ideology is these kinds of questions. Everything is linked to everything else, and even "obvious" solutions to today's problems aren't without their own potential pitfalls.

The dang old ESL filter makes it impossible to recognize bad English out in public. My wife got a shit that reads "force of the nature" and neither of our brains perceived the "the"

I see what you're getting at, and you're not wrong to think about how the lessons we teach kids from the minds and skills we want them to have. There's positives and negatives to the liberal arts education, and it could be said that it is just as much of what is left out then what is kept in. The choice to teach about mitochondria and not the Krebs Cycle is odd from a scientific perspective, but if you know about endosymbiosis then it's a lot harder to accept that all organisms appeared independently a few millennia ago. But once you view a liberal arts education from this perspective then you see these biases everywhere. For example, how many world history classes talk about the Tamil Kings, or the Warring States period of China? It's a lot easier to other a region you don't know the history of.

So we have to ask, what purpose should education serve? What knowledge and skills should we expect people to have by the time they reach adulthood? Add what is the best way to disseminate those?

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

I think the kbin numbers are deflated because >90% of kbin users are on kbin.social and they are having trouble federating. I think the numbers will bounce back once they resolve the issue.

A lot of posts there are lamenting that Lemmy is harder to sign up for, so I think the influx of users comes from kbin.social's ease of new user signups. Hopefully they can scale up and get back on the fediverse.

Sure! So, there's this mechanism called "methylation" that can turn off which genes are expressed at different times/in different tissues. It occurs in almost all organisms, but we don't fully understand the role it plays across different tissues in plants. However, the evidence suggests it may play a significant role in cells going from being stem cells (as in can become many kinds of cell, not literally part of the stem), to being the tissue they ultimately end up as. Better understanding this may help us figure out why some plants can easily be vegetatively propagated, while others are more picky about it.

Am I misreading this, or is there something about lust that's specifically ADHD?

TL;DR: EV bike cabs can only do 4-5 trips before they need to be charged, and if they break down they need to be sent back to the manufacturer because local mechanics can't fix them.
