People don’t clean their phones? I clean mine every time I clean my glasses. If the glasses are dirty, it’s a safe bet the phone could use a rub down with some isopropyl on a Kimwipe.

Unrelated, if you wear glasses and haven’t used Kimwipes to clean them you are missing out. Soap and water, isopropyl on Kimwipe, dry Kimwipe.

The virus seriously weakens cellular membranes, causing Soft Cell. SC leads to a breakdown of your dopamine and oxytocin receptors which leaves you with a feeling of tainted love.

USB DVD readers are pretty cheap and backing up a DVD movie to a file (either just the movie as mp4/whatever or the whole disc with menus, special content and all that jazz as an ISO) is trivial. DVDs themselves are fragile circles of plastic that store data a micron-thin foil layer that can be hurt by too spicy a laser pointer. Do yourself and your roommate a favor and make a copy of that thing for posterity’s sake.

The title had me like “What did those tiny carnivorous plants do now?” but no that’s Utricularia.

I just want a seat at the table for one of their feasts.

I think our model of cosmology is likely way more wrong than we think. I LOVE it when we get new data that challenges our accepted notions, which is why I’m loving all the “how are these ancient galaxies so big” stuff coming out of Webb.

My running theory is that what we call the universe is an inverse version of what we would consider to be the real universe, were we not stuck in this crummy inverted one.

Yes. People of all ages work minimum wage jobs.

1: She’s a woman of color so she has to be 75% better than average for anyone to pay attention.

2: Executed moral standards are more important to the left than the right. Declared moral standards are more important to the right.

Glad to see it’s ok to flush non-aquatic gravels.

Yikes! Did you need any surgery?

Because of how much content I see that’s from Portland. And a good chunk of it is from within 3 blocks of where this picture was taken.

I swear, half the people on the internet are in Portland, Oregon.

It’s for mounting a pasta maker.

Given the way they’re describing it, US south/southeast. The pitcher plants that grow there grow in marshes and swampy grasslands are from there. Pitcher plants elsewhere in the world are a different type all together, and are generally epiphytes or close to it.

Except Australia and certain south American highlands. Or the pacific northest US. There are like 4 families of pitcher plants, only two of which are closely related (counting sarracenia and darlingtonia together with heliamphora in the family and nepenthes and cephalotus on their own).

Before it got jaws it was a glue trap. Venus flytraps are an evolutionary offshoot of Drosera, the sundews.

Another fun fact is the Yellow Trumpet pitcher plant’s (sarracenia flava) flowers smell like cat pee.

If it’s big and metal there’s a scrapyard that will, at the very least, take it off your hands for free. Free metal is free metal. Getting the big metal thing to the scrapyard is another story.

Dont add to the problem. Just buy some headphones or earbuds.
