If you’re not joking, reach out to your college’s academic support/tutoring centers. They’re literally paid to be there and help you with your classes. Even if you understand all the class content already they can still help you with whatever you’re struggling with, like figuring out how much time a project needs or how to get it started/organized.

I struggled my first go ‘round in college 20 years ago and wish I’d known that, now that I’m going back I’ve been using the support systems the college has a lot more and it’s been paying off.

I wonder if it was inspired by the columnar jointing formations you can find in Iceland?

How many restaurants even have 67 or more menu items that you can select by number? This seems like a very niche ‘problem’ for the news to be concerned over

I think red-capped would be a good name too! In general I’m a fan of birds having as many common names as makes sense, haha

Red-bellied is completely accurate, you just normally don’t see the belly:

Red-headed was already taken:

Chris Stringer, a human evolution specialist at the Natural History Museum, said fossils from Britain and Spain suggest the inhabitants of Barnham were early Neanderthals whose cranial features and DNA point to growing cognitive and technological sophistication.

Neat!

Oh damn, that’s really interesting about the squash leaves and raccoons. Those leaves for sure have an unpleasant texture, and raccoons are supposed to have particularly sensitive paws, so that makes sense. That’s really ingenious.

I’ve seen trails of paw prints and drag marks leading out of corn fields, where a raccoon has taken down an entire stalk and dragged it away with all the corn on it! A lot of work if you’re raccoon sized, but surprisingly smart.

Look for a creative reuse store for the art and craft version of this! I’ve got so much art shit on the cheap. So at least it’s less expensive for it to sit in the drawer 🥲

Sounds great on paper, in practice it’s almost entirely old white men who want to get rid of age of consent laws or people who want to be able to do insane, dangerous to others shit like feeding bears without anyone being able to stop them.

In summary, the ideology of selfish jackasses at best and pedophiles at worst.

Thanks, I was always taught the toxin survived heating, but apparently it’s the spores that can survive and reproduce.

Not at all, food spoilage caused by mold and bacteria can have waste produced by the mold/bacteria that doesn’t break down even at high temperatures. Ex: botulism. Your grandma got lucky!

They used to do sugar cubes saturated with vaccine for polio, we should go back to that. I know there are reasons they stopped using it, but Americans are definitely more likely to eat sugar than get vaccinated, so let’s just call it a wash in terms of health risks.
