Yeah, that’s not what I said. Enjoy your creamer

Weird. I only drink black and this has never happened to me. Not sure why you’re getting the short end of the stick
- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 2 weeks ago:
People are hearing this as defense of a crappy system rather than the strategic idea that it is.
Yes this sucks, and everyone hates it who has applied to a job i n the last decade. Form duplication is just part of a huge problem with how hiring is done.
Even if you hate it, you can game the system using this info. Make your resume for humans the highlight reel and the form version a deep dive. They don’t have to be the same.
The advice from the comment above that you’re missing because you don’t like the system is how to cope if you’re looking for a job right now. Be angry at the stupidity of it, but use the tools provided you if you want a better chance at getting in the door.

For anyone wondering these are, legally speaking, ebikes. As in they squeezed a delivery truck into the legal definition for a bike to be able to use bike lanes.

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

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.
- Comment on Exploding 🌳🌲🌴🌳🌲🌴🌳🌲🌴🌳 5 months ago:
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.

This isn’t the same plant as the op. Op is poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum).

Or PFD
- Comment on Nom nom nitrogen 6 months ago:
Having worked growing native plants for restoration efforts, I can say that this is 100% true. Our focus was on getting plants that will survive without any extra help after being put in the ground, so no fertilizer and limited water. A scraggly leaved plant with good roots would make it where something with lots of soft new growth would get eaten.

Would upvote twice if I could.

Wait. Are you eating hot dogs parallel to the dog or perpendicular?
- Comment on When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick? 8 months ago:
You just come back after candy getting hours. Why waste treat time tricky. That’s what sugar rushes are for

At that point you will have smoked 4% of 100 joints. Hey, math is easy.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 10 months ago:
Yeah, it usually used to indicate unwanted flowering, but in lettuces (and to a lesser extent, basil) it indicates the beginning of the flowering attempt by the plant. Most people will cull their lettuce after it bolts (stem starts to elongate into an inflorescence), but way before there are any open flowers or even buds.
Broccoli is weird though. We want it to bolt, but not really flower. That’s an odd thing for most plants.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 10 months ago:
Not exactly. It is bolting when it starts sending up a flowering stem, the very beginning of flowering. Every broccoli I’ve ever eaten has bolted, but not many of them have bolted and flowered.

What is a “leftover fries”?
- Comment on Happy 420 1 year ago:
You can look at wildlife/pollinator gardening. There are different focuses like rewilding or even restoration. There are also a lot of companies willing to sell incredibly invasive plants while calling them nice things, so buy from a reputable source if you do buy plants or seeds.

I appreciate your sacrifice. It would’ve been me if not you

Also, donate your time to review papers, an absolutely critical part of “peer reviewed journals”, for the people charging you both.

That’s a weird way to say “take a walk”, but ok.

Exactly what I was thinking. If I saw this I would look for hinges before stepping up.
