Life measured out in coffee spoons

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

When ranchers in Utah's Rich County found eighteen sheep killed in March 2022, they assumed coyotes. USDA Wildlife Services flew a plane over the kill site and found something feeding on the carcasses that had only been confirmed in the state eight times in forty years. It was a wolverine. Utah sits at the extreme southern margin of the wolverine's North American range. The animal is built for the deep snow and high alpine of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, country above ten thousand feet where the winters last eight months and the terrain rejects everything that is not specifically engineered to survive it. A wolverine showing up in Utah's ranch country was not a routine predator complaint. It was a biological event. State wildlife managers had no protocol for it because they had never needed one. Biologists set specialized barrel traps near the sheep carcasses. Catching a wolverine in a live trap is considered one of the most difficult captures in North American wildlife management. The animal is trap-smart, solitary, covers enormous distances daily, and operates almost exclusively in terrain that humans struggle to access on foot. The odds of a wolverine walking into a barrel trap were close to zero. The next morning, a sheepherder found one of the trap doors dropped. Inside was a healthy, twenty-eight-pound male, estimated at three to four years old. It was the first wolverine ever live-captured by biologists in Utah's history. The team sedated him, packed his body in ice to keep his core temperature stable during the examination, fitted him with a GPS tracking collar, and released him into the deep snow of the Uinta Mountains. For researchers who had spent careers studying an animal they almost never got to see, that collar was the first real-time data source on wolverine movement the state had ever produced. The data that came back over the next twenty-five days confirmed what wolverine biologists in other states had documented but Utah had never been able to verify on its own ground. The animal logged over 195 miles of travel in less than a month. He did not drift south toward lower elevations or leave the state. He locked into the high peaks of the Uintas above ten thousand feet and ran massive looping circuits through avalanche chutes, rocky ridgelines, and snowfields deep enough to bury a man standing upright. The daily distances he covered would qualify as an endurance event for a human athlete on flat ground. He was doing it through the most physically punishing terrain in the state, in winter, alone, at elevation, without stopping. The eighteen dead sheep that started the whole sequence were never repeated. The wolverine moved into the high country and stayed there, operating in a landscape so remote and so hostile that the only evidence of his existence was the GPS signal pinging coordinates from ridgelines that no person had visited in months. The collar proved what the forty years of scattered sightings could only suggest. The wolverine was not passing through Utah. It was living there, quietly covering nearly two hundred miles of frozen alpine rock in less than a month, completely invisible to every human being in the state.

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

DO NOT CENSOR TAGS

take up space, read the plaques, get the audioguides. you are just as entitled and right in being there. visit museums, boycott museums, be expressive about your opinions about museums.

a lot of museums are free, or discounted for youth and students. take advantage of that. check your local art museum. check your local history museum. museums are there for you, they are there to educate the public, not to distinguish between class. it isn't a private collection, it's a public exhibit.

Again, normally I wouldn't post anything and this isn't anything KOSA, AB 1043, AB 1709 related. But I think this is just as important for internet freedom. As of September 2026, all app developers must be registered by verified developers in order for apps to be installed on certified Android devices.

This means that if you want to install an app that isn't from the play store, you cannot unless the developer has verified through googles program. Not only does it effect consumers choice, it also effects app developers who focus on open source or community based software on android.

Now you can say that you can switch to apple and use their app store, but it will be a little more restrictive on which apps you can download (I assume, never used an Iphone). Plus, don't forget they have implemented age verification on their app store which is a huge problem in itself. Want to download an app from github, can't its not verified. Want to download a apk file, can't its not verified. You cannot download in android anything unless it approved by google!!!

Another issue for this is that android app developers have to follow these steps just to develop apps.

Not only will it drive developers to not create apps, developers overall will just give up, leaving users with less options for apps that fit their needs. Android whole deal is that its open and free for users, a distinction on the ios, now you're saying its not. This is just anticompetitive behavior. Yet again google enshittifying things and deciding what you do.

If you want any more information on this, heres a website on the situation, as well as what to do if you're a app developer and android user.

As of reading this, google has not backed down on its Android Developer Verification Program, still stating its stance on its description. Also please sign this petition. We have limited before this is implemented, fight back and don't give into google.

Women wanted to be lawyers and engineers and chemists. They wanted to use their brains in challenging and interesting ways. They wanted to get the satisfaction from solving problems and inventing new shit and getting attention for it.

I’m gonna be so honest I do think it’s possible that even black women and poor white women had dreams and intellectual prowess and fight tooth and nail for the right to do meaningful work.

Do women count as people in this equation. Did women count as people back in the 1800s?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
