Tell me you don't communicate science often without saying it. Know the audience is rule 1.
But ok, 'tell' is useful anthropormophism to get an idea across. Sensing though? In what way is reacting to a stimuli not sensing? It is the word scientific papers use. What would you say instead?
A little, the stretching house plant demonstrates how plants can sense the direction light is coming from. They can also sense qualities of light. They can tell if light is filtered through other leaves, for instance. I would speculate that refected light also has a unique color (wavelength) distribution that a plant could sense and respond to
TIL what a Stirling engine is. Thanks!
Hmm, do I want to work for as little money as is legally possible?
My bad
I'll save the nonsense response you would've gotten from the person who says "something like 7%" without a source.
The credible studies say that simply cutting meat can cause some deficiencies like iron and b12 that you have to be mindful of. If not, there are negative reproductions on things like cognitive ability.
People who can't fathom vegetarianism read that and think "vegetarians brains shrink" instead of "vegetarians know this and adjust their diet to maximize the missing stuff (or take supplements)"
We should be angry at the adults who attacked. ICE escalates and uses chemical weapons on children. This isn't even the first confirmed time.
Fault divorce makes you prove that harm is being done thus a divorce is needed. This is removing no sex as a fault. I think there are usually financial ramifications from being the at fault spouse. Thus there would be financial repercussions for refusing to have sex with someone. Obviously a bad thing.
There is a thing called no-fault divorce that requires no proof of harm. I don't know if France has this, but it is how you get around needing any reason besides that one spouse wants to.
The "high bridge" is just the nick name that absolutely everyone uses. It has a real name, but nobody cares.
That's not a demon. That's an angel.
It isn't common, and explode is an exaggeration for what I have seen - just cracked bark (though the crack was probably abrupt and loud). Montana gets some every now and again, so I am guessing at least some parts of Alberta do too. Nobody has made a big deal about it in the past outside of folks interested in trees. This is some weird media hype.
The large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is just starting to bloom around me. They are annual and have cool blue pollen (typically pollen is yellow). You can see the pollen on the anthers at the center of each flower.
I am going to keep tossing these out into the ether unless I hear differently from the group. I have been doing flowers just because their showy, but if anyone has requests let me know (eg trees, sedges, garden plants). Also, I have been avoiding having pollinators in the photos on the assumption that any animal makes most people ignore plant. Any thoughts on that?
This one is meadow-foam (Limnanthes douglasii). It's annual that is native to prairies of the west coast of North America. Smells great, looks cool, and bugs like it. Comercially, similar plants are grown for the oil from their seeds. The seeds off this one will just fall where they want to sprout up in spring of '22.
For me it is my phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) blooming. I throw some seed down wherever I don't have other plans because the bugs love the flowers? What have you got going?
This is interesting because CPR/first aid classes specifically teach (taught) that back blows are harmful and cause obstructions to get lodged lower in the airway except for very young people who you can turn upsidedownish. Time to rethink. Love it!
