Oh well if you put it that way I guess it’s knitting

People say this every time, and it’s still not true, because the Romans didn’t knit. Knitting is a technology and it hadn’t made it to Rome at the time these were made.

Also, some were solid and unsuitable for knitting. And they were found with giant piles of money, which is a weird place to keep your domestic tools.

You have no post history, so I guess you never shared them here. If it’s so easy to do and low effort maybe you could contribute.

The internet version of “the intelligence of the dumbest humans and the smartest bears overlaps significantly” trash can problem?

Mine is held together with expensive repairs and missing a few parts. Probably haunted, too.

The red parts are mostly farming areas. There are some exceptions, like Napa and Sonoma, but they’re wine counties and tend to attract a different crowd.

The Environmental Worker’s Group gives regular Dawn an A-B rating (depending on scent) and a C rating for the foaming stuff, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you’re right. Probably not a huge issue with home use, but if you’re a dishwasher for a decade using it, who knows.

Good thing only vegans eat vegetables.

If it is that’s news to me, I thought they were two different services.

Oof, right in the feelings.

Better you wading through the muck than me. If you find something while mud larking, might as well show it off.

You still get the image, but that explains why they’ve always been concave for me 😂

Ocean Alliance began working with drones in 2013. Within the last few years, they began collecting exhaled breath condensation, also known as "whale snot."

The whale snot is a biological jackpot with DNA, microbiomes, and hormones. This data was nearly impossible to collect from a live whale. 

"I've seen more unique behaviors from a drone in the last five years than I've seen in the previous 25," Kerr said.

They’re apparently also using the drones to tag them for GPS tracking, really cool use for them.

 

Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

 

Obviously learning a couple of words in another language doesn't really make you bilingual, or being able to say a few phrases. But there's also clearly some point before full fluency where you can be considered bilingual, but how is it determined (formally or informally)? Is it purely vibes based, you'll know when you see it kind of thing?

I'm vaguely familiar with the CEFR levels measuring how much of a language you speak, but if there's a cutoff point for counting as bilingual in there somewhere I don't know where.
