Maybe the octopus lost two limbs, ever think of that, you ableist shitbag??!1!

Runs off crying



Mod approved: to the fridge with you


When you lack a control, though you should still be able to compare those with tumours and those without. One treatment (no tumour) to the other.

Controls answer: what if we did nothing? And how big are the effects vs doing nothing?

E: they can’t get accurate measurements themselves that’s the issue, not the lack of uncontaminated controls


A ferengi showing up on the view screen with a slave stroking his lobes is the same as Picard showing up on the other end with Troy stroking it for him


This is green washing no matter how you slice it. While it’s an interesting idea, artificial refugia, like bat boxes or these balls, have to be very carefully designed so they don’t have one of these negative outcomes:

  • Act as a trap for the targeted species with regards to predators
  • Kill the target species - often through thermal extremes
  • Just don’t get used by the target species

There’s some good work about this on (fuck, fine rummaging for paper) Australian quolls

I actually reached out to Cowan to asks a few questions. He was pumped that we were citing his work and using it in reclamation planning as landscape enchantments.

Anyway, artificial refugia should, at best, be viewed as a temporary fix, or a way to layer habitat on the landscape, never a full substitution.



So what kind of violin did you make from him?

Legitimately: do you have a better free image sharing site? I’ll upload this stuff there. I’m just old school, and Imgur was used a lot when I used to manually upload crap back in the day


Like a marinating chicken, this gets better the longer this thread goes



Mod approved. You’re going on the fridge


Surprisingly few people think about ecosystems. Those that do often do not gauge their complexity deeply enough and view them as temporally static for the most part.

That isn’t true.


I’m very happy to be back.

Thanks @poVoq@slrpnk.net and team for dealing with the technical issues and for keeping us running


If it freezes on the way down does it become a snowcone?


You guys are being jerks, we’re becoming mercs, fuck you, and see you on the banks of the Pisuerga River.


Anything over 42” - that’s the top range for a Shetland pony


True, but it’s a slippery slope - much of the user base here left Reddit because they hated it.
