I was responding to a post wondering why anyone would be surprised or skeptical about a photo showing a hermit crab aloft. I responded from my actual experience observing a type of hermit crab that, when on a tree stump that becomes exposed at low tide, will cross sand to submerge itself again.

I, however, did *not* specify Land hermit crabs in the comment you challenged.

Fun Facts About Hermit Crabs In The Florida Keys Learn fun facts about hermit crabs. This informative guide covers everything you need to know about hermit crabs in the Florida Keys.

Many species are marine or estuarial, and some, including the ones I grew up around, are never observed aloft. You’re right about their climbing ability. But the people who felt skeptical of a hermit crab photographed aloft are understandable.

Pacific hermit crabs like this can climb trees. Gulf of Mexico hermit crabs, like I grew up with, cannot.

Def seeing your point, in spades! Haven’t seen any new dreamwidth or BlueSky from you lately. Sure do miss you!

It’s it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s …

There seem to be several current sources. Just trying to choose one I like.

I guess I need to track this down!

Lots to digest.

Honestly.

I lack the words.

Awesome!

Back from today’s No Kings protest in downtown Round Rock, Texas. Though I took no photos at the event (these were taken earlier), it was well attended, festive, replete with thoughtful and creative signs: a good time!

These are policy goals I hope broad coalitions of voters would support.

Sanewashing Trump by selectively quoting him out of context to make his critique of UN climate failures sound reasonable and well-intentioned is dishonesty without an upside. Trump’s flex that nations converting to clean energy face ruin is more threat than forecast. Danger, not ease, looms ahead.

Is U.S. House #SpeakerMikeJohnson really so afraid of election winners? Or just afraid Grijalva will vote for the House to subpoena the #EpsteinFiles?

NSPM-7 includes a number of provisions targeting “antifa” and “anti-fascism” as fomentors of domestic terrorism.

News bulletin!

So many ironies.

This.

There are a few anti-abortion Democratic incumbents in red states. Incumbency has advantages.

That aside, Democrats need candidates who hear and excite their base, much more than candidates who don’t. Any consultant who says otherwise should be mistrusted.

Squelching the base is a path to ruin.

So the pre-Trump America in which I spent most of my decades was scientifically impossible?

The potential return on lunar polar investment is immense. The first nations to land fabs on crater’s edge perches, fabs that can print quantum circuitry and then dangle it into the cryodark, will win the moon race. 6/6

Yet it does appear that entangling larger and larger numbers of qubits will enable quantum computers to cross progressive thresholds in the speed and volume of data they can crunch, performance thresholds likely to achieve staggering feats of calculation. 5/6

The capabilities of quantum computers and classical computers differ in ways that limit the applications for which each type can be harnessed. Also, the lunar environment poses operational difficulties. 4/6

The lunar polar regions are also notable for other resources, including some that may be useful for exploiting the quantum computing potential of the local cryodark. 3/6
