My wife got sick as a dog after eating chocolate chip cookie dough. She spent a whole day going between bed and the bathroom. Strangely enough, she still eats raw cookie dough. Having gone through it with her, I don’t even like the fake/safe cookie dough in ice cream.

Australian coffee shops are the best.

That’s what the three shells are for.

That might make it more dangerous for real civilian aircraft in the region.

FYI, this is a parody/meme.

It was based on good old fate and transport processes and plenty of scientific data (as opposed to made up hearsay?). It served us well for that sucky situation we were in. .

iNaturalist is definitely a good suggestion, but it is NOT an assassin bug, wrong markings and body form. It looks to be in the genus Alysus. Here’s what iNaturalist gave me as a likely hit. Also, I’d recommend the Seek app (it’s associated with iNaturalist) over iNaturalist app for casual users as it gives quick likely identifications through real-time image matching and does not require engaging the broader iNaturalist community.

“*Among adults without a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s, eating more full-fat cheese was associated with a noticeably lower risk of developing the disease, while higher cream intake was tied to reduced dementia risk overall. The findings challenge decades of low-fat dietary advice but come with important caveats.”

Calculations are simpler if …….. you assume a spherical cow!

Wasn’t that an 80’s band?

I think either way it’s taken from our pockets.

Shale is not a good building material, it’s too friable (crumbly). Slate starts off as the same rock ans shale except it undergoes a bunch of heat and pressure which makes it much less friable and an excellent material for things like roofing tiles and mantles.

*Acid-filled Erlenmeyer flasks

Looks like chicken mole. Hope to try it sometime (maybe at a more simple restaurant).

C/soil science is a great community with well laid out general soil science information. What a great resource!

I for one appreciate the effort someone(s) put into it.

What was ordered?

“A food scientist debunks the vilification of seed oils on social media and explains what research says about them.”

The Marriotts. Not huge fans of alcohol.

I had a mineralogy professor that was notorious for giving lab practicals that would consist of wonky specimens of similar/exact same colors. So ID from physical appearance was not a good option. You had to rely on all the other properties for identification.
