the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

Furthermore why is it even legal to sell a vitamin D supplement with 100,000 units in each capsule? It should be over the counter of course but in safe doses (such as iron supplements for example)

Opinion | They Feel Bugs Inside Them. Doctors Don’t Know Why.

Recent case of mine: patient had vitamin D toxicity. They were taking 100,000 units daily
(Recommended dose is only 2,000 units daily). Their skin symptoms improved when supplement was discontinued.

When I lived far from the store I used my Zojirushi bread maker three times a week. Dump in flour, yeast, sugar and water. Close the lid and press the button.

It kneads, rises, and bakes the bread for you in 3 or 4 hours.

Ok, body count now 180 dead young Iranian schoolgirls and our govt and media are responding with complete radio silence.

Appears missile was targeted with complete accuracy to OUTDATED TARGETING DATA.

Do you think Iran will welcome us as beneficent liberators after a mistake of that magnitude

The retractable things are visibly like a very fine trip-wire, difficult to see when stretched across the path.

Leather or cord leashes are bulky and easy to avoid

I miss my cats. They did not emigrate with me. However i am insulted at how much they seem to enjoy living with my daughter

They are simply the one best way to fell an innocent jogger.

They should be illegal.

I would rather just have the dog bite me in the ass than ending up with a broken ankle

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis - Wikipedia

In just a few years, some number of children and teenagers are going to die the most horrible death imaginable and these ghouls are being cute about their vaccine denial.

A wrapper, if I understand it correctly, was a robe worn in the privacy of one’s rooms. If so, does anyone know if this was worn with hoops or crinoline? It doesn’t make sense to me as an undress garment

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead
