anyway animal rights activism will be inherently disingenuous and indeed actively harmful unless y’all recognize that 1) not every country has industrialized the consumption of meat to the extent that the west has 2) you absolutely need to prioritize human beings over animals given that basic humanity isn’t even afforded to a large fucking portion of the human population 3) your experiences are not universal and humans have been living off the land sustainably for literal millenia 4) capitalism is your enemy not poor people & people of color 5) stop fucking making slavery/holocaust anaologies. those are actual human beings. thanks
Measles (Rubeola) 麻疹 病理、症状、诊断、预防与病理 | Osmosis
What is measles? Measles is an extremely contagious infectious disease that’s caused by the measles virus. This video covers the pathophysiology of measles, important clinical signs and symptoms, as well as treatment and prevention.
麻疹,是未有麻疹疫苗时,一种好发在儿童身上的传染病,但成人也有一定可能感染。儿童常见的急性病毒是由麻疹病毒引起。此症典型的体征及症状包括四天的发烧,及出现咳嗽、鼻炎以及结膜炎的症状(其英文为cough、coryza及conjunctivitis,也简称为三C),伴随着发烧及红疹。
vaccination 接种
rubeola 红疹 = measles
rubella 风疹 = German measles - not measles - three-day measles - an infection csdby rubella virus, oft mild with half of people not realizg infectd - rash may start around 2 weeks after exposure and last for 3 days.
measles virus Species - 麻疹病毒;cause of measles;air-bourne
air-bourne 空气传播方式
Morbilivirus Genus - 麻疹病毒属
Paramyxoviridae Family - 副粘病毒科

Actually, This is how the webcam was invented.
At Cambridge University, they were sick of checking the coffee pot level, so Quentin Stafford-Frasier wrote client software for a greyscale 128x128 camera hooked up to an acorn archemedes computer. Paul Jardetzky wrote the server program.

Technology always comes full circle.

Sometimes it just be like that.
*releases pack of dads into home depot* go……be free
invasive species encroach on lesbian territory
This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.
A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.
Now, if you were to release a pack of Lumberjacks into a Lowes or Home Depot, that’s where chaos will reign. Being adapted to a far harsher and more demanding environment, the Lumberjacks would simply push Dads and Lesbians both out and also consume far more than a sustainable amount of resources. It would be like releasing bears at a country club.
As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.
Lumberjacks, like most megafauna species generally require more space than the average hardware store, even a big box store could provide. The misconception is that Lumberjacks are a social species because of how they often work and live together.
This is a matter of necessity, not preference, and a survival technique for thriving under the LogBoss.
A “pack” of Lumberjacks, if not under the environmental pressure of a LogBoss will naturally disperse until they each have a wide territory.
Lumberjacks rarely fight for territory.
One on one, a Lumberjack could drive out a Dad or Lesbian, however the latter tend to travel in social packs.
Lumberjacks will passively retreat on the presence of large numbers of people. Kind of like Sasquatch.
Getting a “pack” of Lumberjacks assembled would be hard enough unless they were forced into a Hardware Store by a LogBoss. In that case, they would already be in a heightened and potentially agitated state far above their natural behavior. This artificial scenario can be likened to a circus animal running amok. If it had been in the wild, the incident would not have occurred.
Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem. They are surprisingly quiet and unobtrusive.
Please stop labeling Lumberjacks as dangerous roving social predators. They are intermediate level omnivores and remarkably peaceful unless threatened.
This is true for purebred lumberjacks, sure, but in some areas there has been extensive interbreeding, resulting in dad/lumberjack and lesbian/lumberjack hybrids that exhibit traits from both parent species and are often behaviorally unpredictable. Some hardware ecologists are concerned about the potential for these hybrids to outcompete true wild type species.

So basically the cylinder that science has used as THE kilogram since 1889 has been losing microscopic weight, like a few billionths of a kilogram. What scientists plan to do is instead of having a physical object set the standard for how much a kilogram weighs, they’re going to express it in terms of Planck’s Constant, a fundamental constant in quantum physics as unchanging as the speed of light in a vacuum. By dividing Planck’s Constant by the Meter and the Second (both already defined by fundamental constants), you get an insanely small weight. Multiply that by a big enough number and you get one kilogram!
So instead of measuring all weights against an object that can change, the kilogram is defined by unchanging physical constants and pure math.
I don’t even watch or know anything about Hockey but god damn if it isn’t the wildest sport in existence. Like, you have these huge dudes, like, over 6 feet tall, 200+ pound guys, whipping around on ice with the grace and poise of professional figure skaters, all while lugging around 10-17 pounds of padding and a fucking stick, that they use to fucking rocket this tiny puck around to each other with pinpoint accuracy. And then in a fraction of a second they could be fucking bare-knuckle brawling, just beating the absolute shit out of each other. And it’s all legal. Like
So according to many of the tags and replies on this post, fighting is not legal in hockey at all, it just happens so frequently and carries on for so long that it can easily lead someone like me, who doesn’t watch hockey, to believe that it’s completely legal, which, to me, makes it even more wild
VIDEO FROM THE SURFACE OF A COMET
This is truly incredible.
Details:
Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained.
while the stuff in the foreground is dust/ice on the surface of the comet itself, the background is actually stars. i saw a stabilized video where you can really make it out, and it blew my mind.
here’s the stabilized clip, if anyone’s interested
Completely unrelated, but I wanted to show you these robots. Yes, these are not fish, these are robots - the future is now. Not to mention that they’re moving apparently randomly through a three-dimensional space, and not touching each other! That’s impressive.

fish that no hobbyist should own, period:
arapaimas
alligator gar (and most gars in general)
redtail catfish
peacock bass
lungfish
african tigerfish
payara/vampire tetras
sturgeon
arowanas
electric eels
stingrays
unless you live in an area where one of those fish is native and you can build a suitable pond; or you own a tank that exceeds 10,000 gallons and have the abilities and funds to maintain it; you have no business owning anything on that list.
it’s not elitist. it’s not some PETA-approved tree hugger nonsense. it’s just common sense. fish like arowanas, peacock bass, sturgeon, and redtail cats? big, strong, active fish that need more than a swimming pool to be comfortable. payaras, gars, lungfish, electric eels, and african tigerfish are large and dangerous. stingrays are delicate fish that require an insane amount of space.
yes, there are some serious fishkeepers who can house fish that size, but they’re few and far between. a proper redtail catfish enclosure would cost you more than a high-end Mercedes just to set up. if you’re willing to dedicate that much time and money to a fish, then you’re not a plain hobbyist.
(also, the Monster Fish Keepers forum should be burned to the ground. thanks for coming to my ted talk.)
For more clarification, fish like the Alligator Gar that can grow to be twice as large as a 6 foot human in their natural habitat, and live for 25-50 years, (the red tailed catfish is to the right of the human)
and naturally live in places like this
should NOT be housed in pathetic tanks/pools like this
This is literally just cruel. There is no reason to keep a monster fish indoors or even in captivity at all. What benefit do you even get out of cramping a giant fish into a small container?
The fucking pet trade is a huge factor as too why half of these monster fish are critically endangered.
There’s a store that has a fully grown red tail in a 55 gallon where they can’t turn around and it makes me feel so shitty
I agree with all of the above except the lungfish. Lungfish get big and need space, but they’re fairly lazy, they aren’t active swimmers. They can absolutely be housed indoors in a very large tank.
I disagree, mostly because “large tank” isn’t something people will get. What is a very large tank to you? A 210 is still only 6 feet long and will cost $400+. Custom tanks we’re talking about $1000+. The one person who can take care of a lungfish in humane and ethical manner is an atypical anomaly that isn’t counted when the trend of housing lungfish is something like 120-210 gallon tank. An LFS by me had a lungfish in a 7 foot tank for over fifteen years. It died recently at only about 20 years old, swollen from dropsy . The lungfish at the Shedd, Granddad, was over 90 when he passed away.
This is what happens to a lungfish when placed in a “very large tank”, and this was at a pretty well regarded store. This is the fate of lungfish in private captivity. They will die young, they will suffer, and then you can go out and buy another one to do it again.
