While reading the wiki page because I never heard of it as I am not from the US, TIL about Nancy Grace. Holy shit…

Can confirm as fellow Dutch. Nintendo cartridges were very expensive.

Chicory salad with tomato, egg and home made mayo. Apart from salt and pepper those are the only ingredients.

Tarmac can be really really hot.

Yes and they are always broken. I can never contact anyone.

Heh, a worldwide known fact. I am Dutch but when I read ‘shit + pants’ the answer always be that crusty pants mf.

You should ask Ted Nugent, he is an expert

Even without sugar a lot of cereals are high in carbs from refined flower.

Sperm whales rattle off pulses of clicks while swimming together, raising the possibility that they’re communicating in a complex language.

Ever since the discovery of whale songs almost 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their lyrics. Are the animals producing complex messages akin to human language? Or sharing simpler pieces of information, like dancing bees do? Or are they communicating something else we don’t yet understand?

In 2020, a team of marine biologists and computer scientists joined forces to analyze the click-clacking songs of sperm whales, the gray, block-shaped leviathans that swim in most of the world’s oceans. On Tuesday, the scientists reported that the whales use a much richer set of sounds than previously known, which they called a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet.”

People have a pho-ne-tic alphabet too, which we use to produce a practically infinite supply of words. But Shane Gero, a marine biologist at Carleton University in Ottawa and an author of the study, said it’s unclear whether sperm whales similarly turn their phonetic sounds into a language.

“The fundamental similarities that we do find are really fascinating,” Dr. Gero said. “It’s totally changed the way we have to do work going forward.”

Since 2005, Dr. Gero and his colleagues have followed a clan of 400 sperm whales around Dominica, an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, eavesdropping on the whales with u

In the UK there is the “Too good to go” app.

I save a lot of money on groceries this way and provide others as well. You pay a third of the original price.

336 apparently, I did not realize I blocked that many.

Lamprey

Hydrohomie here, buckets of ice and carbonated water. Fruit juice is too much fructose for me, and it attracks wasps.

What is the similarity between Musk and Edison?

They both fucked over Tesla

Would Elon have fried an elephant with a Tesla car battery nowadays just to make a point how bad the competition is?

Well I bet he would.*

• Edison had technically nothing to do with the killing of Topsy, it was a decade after the ‘war of the currents’. It was distributed through Edison films though.

Well if your out after a month you’ll be screwed anyway. But right now I could survive a couple of months with three others.

I already have 2 freezers full of meat, frozen veg, herbs, ingredients like galanga, pandan leaves, lemon grass, Thai basil, hot peppers and what not.

Canned beans, corn, other veg, pasta, couscous, flower for chapatis and parathas, boxes full of spices from all over the world, and I always buy 18 kilo bags of Thai rice.

Beans and rice, so nice. Cheap and fulfilling.

Yeah…but I guess I should learn urban farming. If I see someone hungry I need to cook, I can’t leave anyone starving, so this stuff would be gone in days.

What are you paying for SMS? I pay 6 euro a month for unlimited sms and calls and 2 GB data. 50+ mobiel is my provider. Now they offer my plan with the first year for 2,5 euro. Dirt cheap.

Yeah I wondered how I could register the same username for kbin social and kbin earth. Which Rick am I talking to? The pickle one? Anyone can assume your identity
