Good thing we invested in transportation alternatives instead of putting all our hopes behind electric cars and then also slapping a $400 registration fee on electric cars

The delay between people paying even a very slight amount of attention noticing he was a Nazi and everyone else noticing has done more to damage my mental health than a great deal of other things.

How do we get anywhere when it takes almost a decade for the general public to catch on

If houses don't want to be hit by drivers they should be adorned in high-viz and only exist in recreational areas

People are making fun of this but at the end they open mouth kiss and it's actually kind of beautiful. They're clearly doing hand stuff too but they don't show it.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It's different from insect chitin in its beta glucan association and some other stuff, but the only fungi I know of that are extra "chitinous" are some zygomycetes but those aren't mushroom forming.

Some commercially available mushrooms grow on insects though, and I wonder if it was one of those.

Do you recall which mushroom?

The fungal cell wall is primarily composed of chitin so if you look at really any mushroom that's basically all chitin.

Nova Scotia RCMP have raided five on-reserve cannabis storefronts the provincial government deemed illegal and seized an unspecified amount of cannabis.

The Mi’kmaw chiefs say this continues to erode trust between the province and First Nations.

I hate visual coding so much and I assume anyone who's ever used one of my galaxy workflows can tell from the immense feeling of frustration that is beamed directly into them from the computer monitor
