Well, the problem then is that we're not only killing off all the bees but also other pollinators. Although, many plant species are also wind-pollinated and/or wind-dispersed. But good luck feeding all human life with this small selection of species only...

I don't know any scientists that aren't very passionate of their own research though. That's making this even more absurd and nonsensical...

But it may be something to work towards to, isn't it? Or at least get rid of these societal taboos?

Where I live and grew up (Germany), there isn't that much of a taboo on nudity. I liked showering in my gym for example where there is only a shared (gendered) shower. Since starting my transition I wouldn't feel welcome in any gendered shared public shower however. I would really like to stop hiding my body but instead feel more included among cis people. One day I hope...

I still prefer going swimming naked (if there are not too many people around) because it avoids gendered swim wear. At most lakes in Germany you can find people going swimming naked or with swim wear. Just coexisting :)

That sounds really nice!! Unfortunately it is hard to find such a space where people who are non-binary or have bodies that don't fit into the gender binary can go to and feel welcome :'(

The person on the right looks dreadful at the thought of sex then?

And well, PhD students are in the lab at night working overtime and doing their research lol

Haha yes, recursion is always fun!

Although I'm still confused on what the clock would show in an hour. Because if the subclocks mirror the parent clock at the given time, then they would all be stuck to the hour they are positioned on? Or if they can move then the sublcocks are coupled to 3 o'clock of the main clock. But well, it is all hypothetical anyways :D

Yeah, pretty cute! Especially with the expression it got on its face โค๏ธ

Yeah, that's how we did it for my PhD position as well. Someone still send an application anyways but they were clearly not fulfilling these hyper specific requirements so my prof didn't have to invite them :)

What a fun idea!

Is it on purpose that all clocks in this are coupled at the 3 o'clock position? I assume all the clocks go the same speed. Then the large clock and all the smaller clocks at the 3 o'clock position (there are 13 of them) would show the same time. E.g. in one hour, the 12 o'clock position would show 1 o'clock, but the large clock and all the clocks on the 3 o'clock position would show 4 o'clock.

Oh and why is it a clock squared if you have three layers of clocks? Isn't it cubed then?

Oh OK. Apparently I completely misread the expressions. I read the expression of the person on the right as surprise and dread. Like the person on the left said they want to do something more fun and the person on the right now remembered something not so fun or was offended by what the other person said...

Thanks for explaining anyways!

 

I've never been into torrenting stuff but usually just do streaming via the usual sites (I usually use any site that fmhy recommends). However, I've noticed that most pirate streaming sites have much slower load rates and need a long time to buffer than commercial streaming sites. This often means that I cannot watch an episode in full but have to pause to buffer... As you can tell, I'm a total noob. What can I do to have a nicer experience streaming pirated content?

(And sure, that's probably why people get into torrenting. I already got a raspberry pi that I intent to use for this, but I couldn't find the energy to set it all up yet.)

I'm usually not paying a lot of attention to Mr. Beast and such, but recently one of them came out as trans and so I was interested in how it went. Found this wholesome interview with Kris and thought to share here. Hope you can enjoy it as much :)
