Oh wow I remember that! Once in a while I’ll remember flashes of it but I’d forgotten the name

I remember reading about someone proposing creating mirror algae to sequester carbon (no need to worry about microbes digesting dead algae and releasing methane back into the atmosphere). "Oh yeah but it might totally overrun the ecosphere" was kind of a big downside.

Which soft cheeses (brie-like form factor) have mild/buttery flavors instead of being very robust/smelly?

Whoa, do you have a link/cite for this? Recoiling in horror at that guy and ASW are both things I like! (no shade on your off-the-cuff mention and no worries if you don't want to hunt down the source)

How We Know Languages like Proto-Indo-European Existed
YouTube video by Simon Roper How We Know Languages like Proto-Indo-European Existed

I really recommend this video on Proto-Indo-European, if you enjoy learning about things by having a charming young English guy explain things on video :) (and his other linguistics-related videos) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIgo...

FYI the gift link is expired (at least for me) so I can only see a few paragraphs.

My understanding is that it’s not legal for a for-profit entity to have unpaid volunteers right now. (Which kind of makes sense or companies could pressure employees to take on periods of unpaid labor.) A lot of orgs depend on volunteer work! Do you know of a way around this?

Uterine ablation is another option for this.

End of the Internet

I was happy recently to see that hmpg.net is still kicking

Things I appreciate about this game so far:
- No combat/death (you can fall from tall things and be fine)
- Lots of exploring and parkour!
- Spaceships that look like MBTA trains
- Cozy scrappy village in the ruined world the corporation left behind
- A mystery to solve
- Queer characters
- The art!

OK I think this is worthy of my first bsky post: Caravan SandWitch (@sandwitchdev.bsky.social) is an amazing and charming game that I highly recommend! I went looking around for thoughtful reviews and found www.analogstickgaming.com/game-reviews.... I'm only a few hours in but it's won me over 100%

Do you want any more not-actually-a-museum answers?

Not a full answer but as a Patreon subscriber a heads up post when one goes up would be a way I would be more likely to notice them!

Kind of hope some of the Reductress writers are working for the campaign
