I should have mentioned this but usually stuff like this is planted in front of people’s houses etc. I wouldn’t expect a pine tree planted in one of those. Same with a palm tree.
I’m from Pittsburgh and there’s a lot of greenery projects and ecological restoration currently going on. Outside of the city, it’s very heavily wooded. But it’s slow progress.
Those giant algae tanks miss the large point of trees and their physical benefits and do feel like a tech bro solution looking for a problem.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 weeks ago:
A few reasons: Trees need a lot of space and the space underneath a sidewalk isn’t enough for long term life. They can die after like 30 years? This is tree dependent and location dependent.
Tree roots can destroy sidewalks making it harder for people to go over them. (Think people in wheel chairs)
Liability in terms of damage (have you seen trees after a storm?)

Working during Ramadan is tiring. First week with all the students back.
One of the centrifuges let the magic smoke out so I get to lug that over to the equipment shop.

It’s not even applicable to most vaccines.
Basically polio spreads through poop, and this is your shedding. Oral Polio Vaccine does this as it’s a weakened form of the polio virus and exhibits the same spread and provides vaccination indirectly to others. The US uses E-IPV, which is inactive and harmless and doesn’t have this spread.
You’ll only find OPV being used in countries with very inadequate medical access as it can be administered orally(hence the name). Only downside is that if you are very immunocompromised, there is a non zero chance you get polio and a chance you suffer from paralysis.
Flu vaccines, covid vaccine, literally anything else doesn’t have this “shedding”. It’s literally one vaccine that isn’t even administered in the united states.

There’s other business oriented tvs that aren’t just for signage. It’s more for conference rooms.

Really depends on the game. Even early Ryzen didn’t perform well on games that were largely dependent on single core performance.

It came on a bunch of stone iirc. It’s also in south Korea and Vietnam.

Idk about other places but in Pittsburgh, they just dropped. I wonder if it was the constant freeze thaw cycles causing the decline here. . They were hatching in like November of 2023 but a lot of the adults were dying attached to trees when the temps dropped below freezing.

My question is that the thing they are citing actually exists and if it does exist, contains the information it claims.

The joke is that the guy in the meme hates yellow chemistry (yellow compounds) and failed polymerization(I think that’s the specific reaction) reactions which basically makes tar.
And yes, the description in the meme J’s very accurate.
