It's also a generally good idea. It's bad for society for there to be legal and financial incentives to never apologize.

"Never apologise" is a gross piece of life advice I've heard given to people.

Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer from farm runoff ended up massively increasing the population of a parasitic fluke, Ribeiroia ondatrae, which causes frogs it parasitizes to grow extra limbs.


This is due to the Snail -> Frog -> Bird -> Snail life cycle the parasite has, basically more fertilizer means more algae which means more snails means more flukes.

That makes sense, thanks :tipshat:

They're very effective actually. I used one in Ecuador (much much better insulated) and it was like a flash water heater on how well it turned ice water to steam

That’s where I am right now. Praia Seca specifically. And just 5 minutes ago I saw the first one of those things that doesn’t fill me with a visceral fear.



I mean I’m sure it’s still a Big Clive death trap inside but at least there’s an actual cover plate over what might be an actual junction box and there aren’t any twisted and taped connections just sitting there in open space.
