When you lack a control, though you should still be able to compare those with tumours and those without. One treatment (no tumour) to the other.

Controls answer: what if we did nothing? And how big are the effects vs doing nothing?

E: they can't get accurate measurements themselves that's the issue, not the lack of uncontaminated controls

A ferengi showing up on the view screen with a slave stroking his lobes is the same as Picard showing up on the other end with Troy stroking it for him

This is green washing no matter how you slice it. While it's an interesting idea, artificial refugia, like bat boxes or these balls, have to be very carefully designed so they don't have one of these negative outcomes:

  • Act as a trap for the targeted species with regards to predators
  • Kill the target species - often through thermal extremes
  • Just don't get used by the target species

There's some good work about this on (fuck, fine rummaging for paper) Australian quolls

I actually reached out to Cowan to asks a few questions. He was pumped that we were citing his work and using it in reclamation planning as landscape enchantments.

Anyway, artificial refugia should, at best, be viewed as a temporary fix, or a way to layer habitat on the landscape, never a full substitution.

Your nuts are also full of microplastics

So what kind of violin did you make from him?

I'm with you, but I'm not paying full pop for a 25 year old game. The nostalgia factor gives us rose coloured glasses. Things took a pretty sharp downturn by Patch 1.10 - things got weird - you could, for instance, get a rune word that would turn you into a werewolf, even if you weren't a druid, and that kind of broke the game in my opinion. a lot of those weird rune words just turned players into weird walking data sheets.

Legitimately: do you have a better free image sharing site? I'll upload this stuff there. I'm just old school, and Imgur was used a lot when I used to manually upload crap back in the day
