If they wanna ride their horses across fields and jump hedges, there is clean boot hunting. Just chasing a runner who will get slobbered by the dogs when they catch them. I really don't understand this desire to have an animal killed in a cruel way.

Conceptual and methodological flaws undermine claims of a link between the gut microbiome and autism Claims that the gut microbiome causally contributes to autism regularly appear in the scientific literature and popular press.

Fascinating by how manager measure succes of their Sales team. Obviously, it would be the number of sales, but there are many more targets and metrics that are less directly related, as motivations for max possible amount of sales, but I'm not sure it's not quantity of metric over quantity of sales.

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

9. Higher ed focus was on behaviour and animals, with cognitive science, psychology, ecology, zoology, conservation biology. Kinda rolled into the social psychology research, but really enjoying it.

10. Feel free to ask more. I'm looking forward to connect with like-minded people.

7. As much time as I spend in education, I don't really thrive in it (understatement).

8. Got diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s, which explains the above a bit. Also deal with HSD/hEDS, PCOS, endometriosis, allergic rhinitus+asthma, food allergies. Suspected pots, autism and IBS.

6. Fluent in Dutch and English. Decent reading and understanding in German, but less speaking or writing. Exposed to French from Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur parts. Can understand it a bit, but not speak it. I can only learn languages by exposure not in classrooms for some reason?!

2. I love maps and how it can not only show, but also explain people and society in man way.

3. Another fascination is horses, specifically behaviour, and biomechanics and training practices.

4. I make art/painting in digital and traditional mediums. Focus: animals, portraits and abstract.

a cartoon penguin is sitting on a beach with its head in an egg shell Alt: A cute looking cartoon penguin is sitting on a flat snow covered surface, with sea visible in he background. The penguin is facing the viewer and has a top of an egg shell on its head as a hat. It raises it raises its right flipper (the left one from the viewers perspective), which slightly stretches it body op and to the right, and making its left flipper, that is down against its body wobble a bit with the movement. When waving the mouth moves in a way that makes it look like it says "hello".

I see I've got quite some new followers here, so let me reintroduce myself and feel free to ask questions.

I'm on a second choice of meds. I can't take the first one as I have migraines (headache, nausea and aura). One of the side effects is headaches. Can confirm this is the case.

Im not saying I don't like it. It's not too bad. However I don't habe to pretend that this role is everything to me and not about the money at all. It's a nice and realistic approach to department/company culture.

Started working in sales recently. The 'number go up' satisfaction is suprisingly motivating. However, the real motivator is the money you can earn if you are good at it.

Everyone is aware of that, so there is no faking for the boss that sales is your ultimate passion since birth.

Yeah it's a benefit. However it does price people out of the neighbourhood they lived in for ages. Best is a compromise. Rent control, more social services, more investment in the people and neighbourhood, without ruining the existing and pushing people out. Which causes other problems. Not easy tbh

Can some knowledgeable train nerd tell me random facts about trains, tracks etc. related things for the section between Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester Piccadilly. I just wanna have all that knowledge. Anyone with this as a special interest? #nationalrail #trains #britishtrains #trainnerd #transport

a cartoon character with the words it 's a matter of principle behind him Alt: This is a gif from the animated series The Amazing World of Gumball and features the character Ripley 2000 Manager. The character is a purple bear-like figure wearing a suit and tie, with the text "it's a matter of principle" overlaid on the bottom of the image.

Being persistent dealing with Uber Eats. It's just about a spilled drink, but the absoute incompetence of their customer service. They only give standard replies and not actual answers. They refuse evidence and refuse to state what policy that is based on. It's the principle of it, not the money.

I got a potato and wire and a copper penny but I couldn’t find a zinc plated screw.

I put it all together anyway, but it didn’t work and now I’m being arrested for attempted battery.

There is a duck graph and a hockey stick graph. Any other shapes of graphs named after animals/objects like this?

Everyone that age, studying Chaucer also tends to speak fluent(ish) English. So they got both languages going for them. It still looks more English than Dutch to me, as a native Dutch speaker.

English football hooliganism was such a big deal in the 80s that English club fans were on the official list of people who require extra scrutiny during immigration at most European airports

I didn't think they were that related, but when I started ADHD medication my anxiety (+ panic attacks) and depression reduced a lot. It's not gone. That said, not everyone is the same. I can imagine treating anxiety and therefore coping better with ADHD as well.

BMI isn't super accurate for most people and should not be the reason to aim for a certain weight. It's much more important to look at heart and lung health, fat percentage and muscle amount. No need to look super muscled, but you need some degree of muscle across your body to feel comfortable.

What you might be able to do is highlight indigenous people who do tell these stories. So you are not telling them, but you are referring people to the right place. I understand people wanting to know, but I agree you shouldn't be the one telling them.

Finally watched KPop Demon Hunters. Really enjoyed it and the songs are stuck in my head now.

Jane Goodall lived an incredible life and her work was foundational to how we consider ourselves in the animal kingdom.

91 is an impressive number of years and it still feels too soon.

Of course Jane Goodall had a sense of humor❤️

🕊️ The world has lost a revered conservationist -- a colossal power for what is truly good.

🕊️ Jane Goodall is a legend who helped open the door to science to the best humans among us: woman.

🕊️ She was brave, brilliant and introduced us to the best things among us: animals.

🕊️ I grieve her passing.
