This is my stance exactly. ChatGPT CANNOT say what I want to say, how i want to say it, in a logical and factually accurate way without me having to just rewrite the whole thing myself.

There isn't enough research about mercury bioaccumulation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for it to actually say anything of substance.

I know being a non-traditional student massively affects my perspective, but like, if you don't want to learn about the precise thing your major is about...... WHY ARE YOU HERE

My Proudest Creation

Another point of pride I forgot to mention, this was an impulse project, so I didn't have a plan, just kinda fumbled my way through it, making decisions as necessary. I'm especially pleased with the taper on the legs, think that adds a bit of grace to an otherwise chunky table

I couldn't tell you how many decidedly not-garbage items have been a split second from being thrown away

My wife's grandma makes "pretzel salad", which is crushed pretzel sticks that are tossed with a mixture of margarine and cream cheese, I think, then baked until crispy then crumbled.

In the meantime, cream cheese, maybe whipped cream?, sugar, a few other onesies and twosies, and canned shredded pineapple are mixed into an unholy slop.

Then, when is time to serve, the crumbles are mixed in with the slop and there you go. Salad.

So, fyi my degree is in ecology, but my understanding is that local inconsistencies in temperature cause areas of uneven heating, so I'm certain areas the liquid is moving up, causing it to move down in adjacent areas that are cooler, which sets up little circular currents. The distribution of them, though, is pretty random.

The visible bits are just the gunk that's always on the bottom of cider jugs
