Now that I think about it, I think they were jointly fined.

The fine went to Department of Education alone.

The fact that rats are stressed at all is news to me, am I supposed to be giving them meds?

Maybe those researchers should put a million rats in little rat cars all trying to get to the same place at the same time and then see whether it makes them less anxious.

Mowing the lawn is another one of those privileged bougie excesses that needs to go straight into history’s dumpster (much like frequent flyer programs). Burning fossil fuels to make your invasive monoculture look better instead of cultivating your perfectly arable land. Get outta here.

Yeah my otherwise Boomer-as-gently caress dad had no problems just planting a bunch of local plants and letting wild grass grow in their lawn. Of course it helps they live in the Sierra Nevada foothills so there's nobody around to bitch about their lack of lawn bringing down property values.

I only mow the front lawn for the kids and dogs. The back pasture I let grow long, then bushwack and watch all the birds eat the bugs I kick up.

I plan on starting my garden and an attempt at homesteading once I graduate and can actually live in the house I bought.

Scuba is my therapy, and the shop I used to work for was partnered with a non-profit to try and bring it to vets. This same non-profit did a bunch of other stuff (archery, curling, biking, surfing, etc) but it was really nice introducing people to the underwater world.

My current job pays me to try and save reefs by stabbing lionfish and hauling up marine debris. It’s dirty work, and the deco stresses I’m putting my body through will likely have some weird long-term effects...but it’s worth it to me. I feel like I’m making a positive difference, and underwater nobody can talk to say anything stupid :unsmith:

If I hadn’t gotten back into diving, I’m not sure where that downward spiral would’ve ended. I hear this music in my head every time I’m underwater.

There’s a scuba thread in A/T if any of you have any questions about diving/want to see the gorgeous pics that other goons post.

e: scuba thread link.

We don’t take videos on our work dives. A camera is just another piece of stuff to carry, beyond my 4 lift bags, a pole spear, and a zookeeper to keep dead lionfish in. If you want the Florida Man edition of lionfish killing, have at this one:

I should get back into diving, but I live too far from open water to do it regularly.

Dad, though, dad logged 1000+ dives in eight years when we were at Hickam.

Diving sounds like a lot of fun but the Puget Sound is cold pretty much all year round. Can't stand being in cold water. I haven't swam since I lived in Florida in 2014 unless you count combat water tests.

My dad had a scuba shop in eastern Washington and taught scuba at Gonzaga ect. During the winter we came over to the sound every weekend to teach open water and the like. I got my open water @13 I think then a ton more certs including rescue, confined spaces, nitrox and mixed gas ect but never kept it up. I haven't dove in ten years at least and it's been closer to 20 since I did it regularly.

There's tons of great diving there.

Puget sound isn't bad. I based out of there in the coast guard. I wetsuit is enough, but a drysuit is needed for multiple dives in a day. Definitely a double layer wetsuit. A 3mil ain't gonna cut it. We did run shorties as swimmers though.

I have a surface supply rig I should dust off next year for funsies. I'm too crippled to pack a tank anymore, the muscles in my lower back are super atrophied. I tried in Java but can't really kick one legged. Might try a sea scooter someday.
