I am still amazed by the fact has a liquid metallic hydrogen ocean :amaze:

Such extremes and basically so close by!

@stux For very large values of "close".

:bloblaugh: I remember jailbreaking my iPhone and going through amazing lenghts to get Siri working on my iPhone that wasn't supported!

Years later I'm looking for a way to completely remove Siri from my phone! :blobcatgiggle:

@stux Maybe if they were both smart like the Star Trek ship computer, and not in corporate control.

Until both of those are true, I'll keep on removing every attempt at "assisting" me.

Religion really is dying in the Netherlands.

The general trend is that religiosity is more common among old people, who don't manage to entice all of the next generation to stick to their faith.

Note that the graph is about "Are you religious, and if so which one?"

Weekly attendance is a lot lower, at only 18% of those who claim a religion. Catholics specifically have it at only 6%.

Quick Tulip update: Didn’t see her for a few days and started to worry since she getting up in years for an ant. Just spotted her in the lower chamber doing some patrolling around. She’s at least two years old. Still full of life.

Close up of Tulip, a very good looking ant: she has a wide head and six sturdy black legs.

@futurebird Did you ever mark an ant around eclosing?

Kinda curious what the really young ones can show in distinct personality.

@TheBreadmonkey @mentallyalex .... that's reduced bean water from cooking chick peas?

Well, that was an unexpected learning moment.

justafrog,
@justafrog@mstdn.social avatar

@TheBreadmonkey @mentallyalex Well, I always liked having chick peas in a stew because they do leak a fair bit of frothy stuff.

It makes sense.

But I don't think I would have come up with using it as breading glue on my own.

justafrog,
@justafrog@mstdn.social avatar

@TheBreadmonkey @mentallyalex This also means I need to explore different reduced bean waters.

Every bean leaks differently, after all.

The ant “foot” consists of a tarsal claw with two toes and the several segments above that I suspect are simply… well…floppy. Basically, I’ve seen no evidence ants can wiggle their ankles at will, but rather they seem to adjust the floppiness, or tension of the lower leg. The claws, however, show signs of dexterity, ants can control how sticky the soft pad of their foot is, but also seem to be able to grip and release with their claws. (how exactly are the muscles arranged?)

Another view that includes the segments above which I suspect to be “floppy” the ant leg is often covered in hairs.

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

By muppet bus, I mean a bus attended primarily by muppets.

The bus itself could be relatively common, however it will need to accommodate numerous individuals who experience muppety behaviors, ideas and mannerisms.

@mentallyalex I'd just Kermitpanic up and down the bus.

Does that count as attending it?

@eniko Yet it's the boss fights which are by far the most memorable part of an action game.

Like, as soon as I see a boss from Toki, I remember how to fight it.

Haven't played it in over 20 years, but how could I forget?

It's worth the nyeeeeh~ to make the boss fights good.

Promise.

People who complain about wild singing so hard in the morning - are not my friends. I'm DELIGHTED about early morning bird songs!

Their bird calls YellTell me - We are happy in our habitat here! It's another day we are alive!

Their early morning bird songs, remind me of the importance of feeling of being able to enjoy another morning, another day, to relish in the fact I'm still alive & able to receive many opportunities that the dead no longer have.

@msquebanh I like some birds much more than others, but the silence of no birds at all is worse than any bird noise ever could be.

@StillIRise1963 Acknowledging your own pain is okay, but you gotta move on from there.

Absolutely the worst point to stop.

I know several people who did stop there, and they've had ZERO personal growth for decades.

Such a useless waste. They could've found some happiness if they would stop wallowing.

Y'all want to hear a fact that really changed the way I thought about homelessness?

Half of all homeless people were in the foster system at some point. Social Workers often call the foster system The Highway to Homelessness. If you ever had a point in your life where you had to live with friends or family to for a short time to get back on your feet, remember that is a privilege that not everyone had.

justafrog,
@justafrog@mstdn.social avatar

@RickiTarr The single worst part is that you age out of the system's support.

Not necessarily the point in time at which you can live without it.
