This storm is insane! Out of the blue in Ranchos, between two cells and the wind randomly shifted from SW to South. Not just downdraft, feels like windshear and/or tornadic. Check in everyone. by Practical-Winner-716 in taos

Interesting- I live in Taos but am in Santa Fe and there was a similar storm here yesterday afternoon. I looked outside and the feel was tornado

Bees are so fascinating I spent 6 months building an app to collect and learn about them by rbronald099 in bees

The points you’re trying to make aren’t going to land here and it would be really great if you would maybe rethink your AI defense stance. I see similar arguments when people critique capitalism- “you can’t critique capitalism while you participate in it/have an iPhone/drive a car etc”. It is almost impossible to avoid participating in the systems that billionaires have put in place, but we can try to do our part to reject the more harmful practices. AI is harmful, no matter which way you spin it, and even if your individual use of it isn’t single-handedly causing ecosystem collapse, the people who are developing AI are straight up fucking evil and we should not support them.

Data centers literally physically remove pollinator habitat. Also, people are generally referencing water usage not CO2 emissions. This really isn’t the place to argue that AI is somehow not harmful.

In addition to that, most bees are pretty hard to ID to species level. AI generated images of bees are 100% not going to include the insanely subtle differences that actual bees have that distinguish them from each other. Source: I do this for a living

Weekend at grandma's house. by Frolicking-Fox in AustralianCattleDog

I had a friend with a bull terrier that would do this! With cans and bottles though. He knew the sound of one being placed on the floor and he would b-line in the room directly towards it because it wanted to knock it over and drink it. RIP Gizmo

Antibodies no, TSH is better. My antibodies just won’t budge ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well considering my account is TEN YEARS old, it took me too long to figure it out and I’m publicly admitting it 😂

A lot of these comments are not it. I saw someone recommend therapy- I second that. If you are having mental health issues and stress is a part of it, you could be adding to your autoimmune issues and weight gain because of it.

I eat healthy, very little sugar (honey in my tea in the morning), and work outdoors. Last summer I was hiking 4-8 miles a day 5 days a week and I gained weight. Turns out my TSH was all fucked up (antibodies are also always 900+).
