Fuck If I Know Anymore, But 18+ Only Please

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.

twenty-five (!) years later I came out as a trans man.

now. the important thing to know about my ex-husband is that he loves nothing more than 1) horrible puns, preferably bilingual ones; 2) terrible dad jokes; and 3) committing to the bit until the end of time. he absolutely lives for Shenanigans and Japery. i do not know how his long-suffering wife puts up with him, but they've been married for more than 20 years so presumably she manages.

so, to break the news to my ex, i texted him. the exchange went something like this:

me: "great news, i'm a trans guy now"

him: "oh, congrats!"

me: "thank you. now for the better news: I insist you refer to me henceforth only as your ex-husband. do you accept this challenge?"

and my cis, straight-as-an-arrow, lives-in-the-midwest, married-to-a-minister ex-husband was like

"OMG SHE ATTACK MINORS???"

[making pickaxe motion] "No, miners."

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

It's a yellow bittern! They are very creechur.

Merrill: (Giggles)

Fenris: What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Merrill: You’re in love!

Fenris: I am not.

Merrill: You keep looking at Hawke with sad puppy eyes every time his back is turned.

Fenris: There are no puppy eyes.

Merrill: It’s all right, you know. Even you can be happy once in a while. It won’t kill you. But your face might crack if you smile, so be careful.

AND

Fenris: How is it you get into these situations so often?

Hawke: What do you mean?

Fenris: Hmm. Attacked by dwarves, approached by strangers, stumbling upon ancient riddles… madness.

Hawke: It’s a gift. (charming Hawke)

Fenris: (laughs) Well I think you should return it.

SMOOTH

Fenris: Thank you for asking me to come along again, Hawke.

Hawke: Is there a reason I wouldn’t? or  Why wouldn’t I? More the merrier.( charming Hawke)

Fenris: I just… am pleased. To see you. That’s all.

(Depending on who’s in the party)

Varric: Smooth.

Isabela: (laughs) Oh Fenris.

Carver: (laughs)

Anders: (laughs)

Aveline: (laughs) And I thought I was bad at it.

Merrill: Oh. I think it’s sweet.

The mark of the Assassin DLC ( #marriage)

 “It is always good to be by your side” or “I am yours, as always”

“There you are! Were you hurt? What happened?”

:OOOO

Fenris: You frightened me.

Hawke: Me?

Fenris: Before we found you, there was a moment when I…

Fenris: Don’t do that again.

Aveline in the party:

Aveline: Did we turn left last time, or right?

Fenris: What does it matter? Lost is lost.

Aveline: I’m trying to change that, you sour…

Aveline: Oh, how does Hawke put up with this?
