chumbalumber,

Yonic is a word you might find useful

Pretty victim blamey, NGL. Norms should be in place to ask for consent (tacit or explicit) before touching someone else

alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn’t use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang). Like, we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America’s little idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration, the widespread availability of assault weapons and not being able to transfer money via...

chumbalumber,

Wait, the US genuinely doesn’t use A4 etc.?

Why Dead Trees are Important to Wildlife (lemmy.world)

I got asked yesterday if owls can make their own nest holes in the trees, and the answer is no. Owls are dependent on either naturally occurring shelters or those left behind by other animals such as other raptors, other large birds, or squirrels. This makes old, weathered, and decaying trees a valuable commodity, and they are...

chumbalumber,

Lots of fungi! Which in turn provide food for all sorts of animals.

Also have found snakes and toads. And rats, but they were less fun.

chumbalumber,

They’re so much fun to learn to identify, and it’s nice being able to walk around and identify the funky lil fungi.

More generally having a hobby or interest in something in the natural world (be it fungi, owls, or done secret third thing) gets you outside and paying attention to the environment you’re walking in. If I’m scanning the floor for fungi, I might spot other cool things (like a pellet) that gets me interested in something completely different.

chumbalumber,

And by woodsy stuff, I assume you do mean handling Sasquatch’s massive stiffy

chumbalumber,

Wild. Appreciate you copying across

chumbalumber,

Hopefully it helped The American get in touch with his Scottish roots. Did the Buckfast come with his clan tartan?

chumbalumber,

In fairness, it’s probably a psychological defence mechanism put in place to prevent the mention of St*ckport causing emotional damage.

chumbalumber,

Damn, I came to post this. Fun thought experiment of a book, and the ebook is (by necessity) free!

chumbalumber,

Eh, live and let live. Maybe they’re the kind of couple who do these things to tease one another, both knowing that there’s no malice or ill will involved. Assuming the worst always makes me miserable.

chumbalumber,

Yah – and to add certain edible mushrooms or families of mushrooms are very distinctive (e.g. hedgehog fungi in the UK), and I would recommend novices start out with. Others I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole even if I was relatively confident with an id, purely because it isn’t worth the risk (e.g. miller Vs fools funnel).

chumbalumber,

Scarletina bolete apparently tastes relatively decent. I haven’t tried it myself though.

chumbalumber,

I’m UK based so not hugely familiar with US mushrooms, but I seem to recall a spore print being useful for checking for false parasol? Though it’s not the most obvious (e.g. snakeskin markings for distinguishing from parasol).

Btw I totally agree with your general point (I never use them, except to produce pretty spore prints for friends).

0/10 sitting in the seductive position, no bulge in sight. This is like when they edited out Namor’s bulge all over again.

chumbalumber,

No: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_rotation

You keep them where they are. Benefits are:

Agronomists describe the benefits to yield in rotated crops as “The Rotation Effect”. There are many benefits of rotation systems. The factors related to the increase are broadly due to alleviation of the negative factors of monoculture cropping systems. Specifically, improved nutrition; pest, pathogen, and weed stress reduction; and improved soil structure have been found in some cases to be correlated to beneficial rotation effects.

Other benefits include reduced production cost. Overall financial risks are more widely distributed over more diverse production of crops and/or livestock. Less reliance is placed on purchased inputs and over time crops can maintain production goals with fewer inputs. This in tandem with greater short and long term yields makes rotation a powerful tool for improving agricultural systems.

chumbalumber,

‘Sarah’ by Thin Lizzy is one example.

chumbalumber,

You can use a spoiler tag instead of nsfw for the same effect :)

chumbalumber,

Network rail doesn’t do the overcharging – they’re government owned and manage the track and signalling. Their ‘customers’ are the TOCs

chumbalumber,

Carpenter bees are mostly solitary.

chumbalumber,

FUCKING DOING OUR JOB AS TRANSPORT MODELLERS AND DOING A FUCKING COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS THAT SHOWS YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO GET FUCKING MODE SHIFT FROM RURAL USERS UNLESS YOU RUN A FUCKING METRO STYLE 10 MINUTELY SERVICE WHICH IS FUCKING UNFEASIBLE WITH THE FUCKING RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE.

IN THE FUCKING UK WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF FUCKING ABANDONED RAILWAYS FROM THE PERIOD OF FUCKING COAL MINING THAT WOULDN’T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FUCKING DEMAND NECESSARY TO JUSTIFY SETTING UP AN EXPENSIVE AS FUCK SIGNALLING SYSTEM TO BRING THEM UP TO MODERN FUCKING SAFETY STANDARDS, ALONGSIDE REPLACING THE FUCKING RAILS, SLEEPERS AND BEDS.

IF INSTEAD YOU CAN HAVE A FUCKING PUBLICALLY OWNED FLEET OF FUCKING ELECTRIC ‘MINI TRAINS’ THAT PEOPLE COULD USE FOR INFREQUENT BUT NECESSARY TRIPS, THAT COULD REMOVE A FUCKING SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO MODE SHIFT, WHICH WOULD BE PRETTY FUCKING RAD

chumbalumber,

do you think the responder is serious. do you.

Since the king is in check and the light squared bishop covers f3, the dark squared bishop covers e1 and e3, the knight covers d2 and f2, and the rest are blocked by white’s pieces

chumbalumber,

My therapist tells me to close down all but the part of the position where I have an advantage, so that I can build pressure before making my break.
