You seem to confuse “someone likes you” with “someone finds you attractive”. Maybe someone smiles at you just because you seem like a nice person. I would even argue that this happens much more frequently than someone smiling at you because they find you attractive.
Well, this is aimed at straight dudes in any case, so in this mindset “girls” (!!!) only either are for sex or unimportant.

Ohh, wow, you solved a long-standing mystery to me! I’ve been listening to a lot of discworld novels and could not figure out what “treacle mine road” was supposed to translate to. Now that I know the spelling I could finally look it up. Thanks! ❤️

Haha same!

I agree, this seems pretty misleading. And are there any other feathered animals other than on the dinosaur branch? Because if not, how should the feather DNA even end up in mammalian DNA?? Or maybe feathers are produced by very common differently used genes? But in this case this would be even more nonsensical…

- Comment on Spotify suddenly cut off app developers from a bunch of its data 2 weeks ago:
Hm, maybe I should give listenbrainz another go then. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve used it for some time now to scrobble music so it should know what I’m listening to. Unfortunately my taste in music doesn’t seem to be that predictable because all services I’ve tried out have been quite bad at it. I tend to go on manual deep dives into obscure music on bandcamp hopping from one artist to another. Most recommendations I get from algorithms like Spotify tend to be rather popular-focused music which I often don’t really enjoy. (Not trying to be edgy here, don’t think it is inherently better or worse to like mainstream stuff, this is just a genuine problem I frequently face).

Alternatively, you could hop from one reference manager to another spending months trying to find the best workflow but never quite settling on anyone. At least that was my strategy of getting around actually reading the damn articles…

You actually can eat the individuals that have not yet emerged from the ground. They look like eggs and are pretty weird in touch. But if you slice them really thin and fry them, they are delicious. (Disclaimer: I’m living in Germany and it might be different for the stinkhorns elsewhere.)

What? Making a nice graph in excel? But yeah, ggplot2 does have a pretty steep learning curve. Once you learned it a bit it is really nice though. I love ggplot2 ❤️

In German, some people (especially men) use the phrase “I have pee in my eyes” for when they feel emotional or might want to cry. Maybe they are not emotional but instead are truly lobsters after all??

Not sure where you live, but in central Europe (I live in Germany) you definitely have spiders, harvestmen, mites, millipedes, isopods, slugs, beetles, cockroaches (in my case cute little wood cockroaches), moths (their larvae at least). Maybe not directly inside your living room dancing on the table. Although there are some cockroaches that do run around everywhere in my home. But have a look around in your cellar, garage, any spaces that aren’t frequently heated or where you store food and you’ll find them.

Ah thanks!! :)
- Comment on Learning Botany 1 month ago:
I agree. Especially because Ornithogalum is definitely not an Asparagus kind of plant. If maybe Ornithogalum had been in the Asparagus genus before but got split, well OK. But calling any plant in this huge family asparagus, is wild.

Oh yeah, that brings up memories. We had to do the same experiments in genetics lab, too. I’ll never forget the smell of fruit flies :/
