I’m sure they would only venture onto you if they were persuing something that already ran onto you

You’re big and scary and dangerous to something as small as a dinner plate sized spider, they’re not going to risk walking on megafauna (did you know we are megafauna?)

Tiny spiders might not have the perspective to recognise that we’re living things, but they crawl on us when we’re awake. Huntsmans keep a distance from us, and think they’re perfectly camouflaged while they stand still, as they are when they’re not on an ivory white wall

We let huntsman spiders live in our houses, they’re harmless and keep other insects down. That one has been eating well. They’re not often that big

Like bananas

Glad of it

There’s no controversy, only differing categories.

If you are saying tomato is a fruit, you are using the botany category

When I say tomato is a vegetable, I am using the culinary category

If there’s argument it’s only because someone is keeping the category secret

You can’t say “both” when there are three choices

1. Vegetable as a culinary term
2. Fruit as a culinary term
3. Fruit as a botanical term

If it is from a plant and it goes into fruit salad, it’s fruit

It’s fair enough to call things different to what that actually are. Vegetables in common language just means the stuff treated as vegetables in the kitchen. Calling all the things that are actually fruit fruit isn’t really useful in the kitchen. I don’t want tomato or pumpkin or cucumber in a fruit salad

Likewise with berries. Using the scientific names isn’t useful in the kitchen, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries are all used similarly, despite only one of those is technically a berry

I get accidentally double posting, how did you triple post?

I’m going to stop saying it’s level

Now: it’s correctly tangential to the Earth

Last chance to see

Farm runoff and climate change and invasive starfish are killing them

I just replied to someone in another thread who made a comment that assumed the moon was only up at night. Right now the moon is a crescent following the sun, it’ll be visible almost the whole day, and most visible in the sky just after sunset following the sun down. I’m amazed at how little people look at the sky

We will see. Militaries are making laser based anti drone weapons, and anti aircraft weapons are expected “soon”

Green lasers seem popular

Yuck. 75 is such a clean number to work with in percentages, it’s 3/4 of a hundred

3/4 of 4 is then easy

Is that the one that goes: cut one person, give the three survivors an apple each?

4% is 4 in a hundred

75 is 3/4 of a hundred

4% of 75 is 3

They would add an insulin spike early in the day, and increase hunger

I used bananas to thicken and sweeten and bananafy a smoothie, but I don’t consider a smoothie something that should be made healthy. My smoothies were milk and banana, and occasionally cocoa

thousands

Millions at least

Clones fall behind the arms race that nature is. Seedless bananas so far seem to last decades
