Today I learned that a chinese author wrote a series of sci-fi books called The Three Body Problem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ye02qGiKKY

It's as horrific as you would expect from an author who's lived in China all his life.

one of my favorite sci-fi serieses of all time, it's loving great, and if I recall correctly basically jumpstarted the creative juices for sci-fi of an entire continent. If you like sci-fi probably don't watch that video and just read it. Netflix is adapting it for $$$$$.

Doesn't look like the peyote pics I've seen, even if it is big. No flowers, different color.

it's a Lophophora williamsii, aka peyote cactus, that has a mutation making it "crested" and would have to be very old to be this large. You can see one of the heads that grew un-mutated near the bottom center. Crested cacti are funky like that.

Woah the nose is there is just out of focus

Is it an artifact or is that the vitreous humor flowing around in there

MRIs look at slices, and for this person the nose slice is different from the eye slice. I'm sure if you went half an inch down or up you'd see nose, because it does show up in an MRI.

As for your second comment - the vitreous humor is definitely flowing around in there, but you're probably seeing ocular muscles twitch into the plane of focus for just a second as the eye moves around.

specifically what are now known as "wood ear" mushrooms, and were inexplicably known as either "Jews ear" or "Judas's ear" before, because of probably lovely reasons

quote:

A further change of name to "jelly ear" was recommended in the List of Recommended Names for Fungi.[2] The idea was criticised by the author Patrick Harding, who considered it "to be the result of political correctness where it is not necessary", and who "will continue to call [the species] Jew's ear", explaining that, while anti-Semitism was commonplace in Britain, the name "Jew's ear" is in reference to Judas, who was a Jew.
