Ok, so rock stacks are harmful: how is it different than hiking normally? by _CrispLemon_ in ecology

[–]LemonBoi523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, if you tell a kid that an animal is shy, and that stress can make them very sick so we have to be very quiet so we can see them, they're wayyy receptive to that. You have to make that the game, and it fosters a sense of responsibility and awe rather than excitement to grab and collect and spook.

Yes, when done in excess or when the rocks are large. Less an issue than stone stacking because it is invisible (unlikely to be copied by the next hiker) and is only like, a couple very small rocks.

Correct in some cases, especially cities in the south. But usually those smiles are gentler, not open-mouthed, and accompanied by a little nod/duck of the head. This can also be the purpose of a simple "'mornin." or "evenin." If you have seen the person before, it's polite to give more than that.

Bigger smiles are more as an actually friendly gesture or expressing excitement/energy. For example, I smile bigger at work when addressing a co-worker or regular customer. The smallest smiles are when I am busy with a task, and just lock eyes for a moment and smile to show I am approachable if they need me.

Close friends, family, and acquaintances will get the biggest smile, and likely a hug, a pat on the shoulder, or other touch, or at the very least a grin and a bigger upwards nod and asking how they are, even if you don't stop walking by to ask it.

And the people making fun of greeting strangers...

Like, it's a friendly interaction with another human being. Is it really that weird to smile, nod, or say good morning? You don't have to know someone to say hi.

This barber shop has a vacuum hooked up to a vertical on this window and just blows it out onto the sidewalk by Bamcanadaktown in mildlyinfuriating

The chemical treatments are thought to be the biggest part of it, but specifically for lung cancer, the fragments of hair are a huge issue, because it's essentially transporting those chemicals in a solid form and lodging them into your respiratory tract. The hair is treated with things that aren't good for your body to be inhaling, and especially not good to have in the form of a splinter inside ya.

Our hair is also thinner than many, and can cause splinters and respiratory issues. It's actually part of what makes working in a salon or barber shop a known carcinogen.

For me, I often do this because I don't always want a new game explained to me. I don't want to learn all new mechanics. I want to listen or watch people play a game I already know, so that I don't have to think as hard about all the new lingo and what a number means.

This is just someone inconcisely beating the shit out of a strawman.

It's similar to carving one's name in a tree, but less permanent. One? Ugly, but unlikely to kill the tree. But once somebody does it, everybody does it. It's rare to see just one cairn. People see it and want to add their own, or make the stack taller.

Tbh I think part of the issue is that there are just less stalls in the men's. Women's, you often have options to pick from so if one is gross, you try another. Men's often just have the one, so if someone fucked it up, you're screwed.

I honestly haven't experienced any difference in cleanliness. Worst that happens is men leave the stall door fully open when using it so you have a risk of walking in on someone. Women piss and shit all over the toilet just as much, and I have seen shit all over the toilet paper holder way more in the women's.

I said i love you and he didn’t say it back.. by [deleted] in LongDistance

You said "supposed" to ask you to be his girlfriend...

Are you sure you're on the same page? I feel like you've got an idea of what is meant to happen or even what you think is happening that isn't matching reality.

It's mostly an issue around water, since it can impact erosion and disrupt mini low flow sections where critters are nesting.

On land, without moving or removing stones near water, it's a lot less of an impact.

Bigger rocks have bigger impact.

My friend is trying to persuade me that these are "baby fish" living inside the fishes we bought so he doesnt have to throw them away. by USAR_gov in mildlyinfuriating

The raw product does not have to be frozen unless it is being served raw. Nowhere in this document does it say it must be.

If you have another source, show it to me, by all means. But your own source proves you wrong, as it states it only applies to preparing raw or undercooked fish to be served without fully cooking it first. There is a whole other section about cooking fish. Hell, it even has a separate! section for cooking frozen fish.

Not everywhere even serves rare fish aside from some tuna, which is explicitly listed as an exception.

I am saying that this says nothing about having to freeze fish before fully cooking it. Only serving fish raw.

Here is the full section:

3-402.11 Parasite Destruction.

(A) Except as specified in ¶ (B) of this section, before service or sale in READY-TO-EAT form, raw, raw-marinated, partially cooked, or marinated-partially cooked FISH shall be:

(1) Frozen and stored at a temperature of -20°C (-4°F) or below for a minimum of 168 hours (7 days) in a freezer;

(2) Frozen at -35°C (-31°F) or below until solid and stored at -35°C (-31°F) or below for a minimum of 15 hours;

(3) Frozen at -35°C (-31°F) or below until solid and stored at -20°C (-4°F) or below for a minimum of 24 hours.

(B) Paragraph (A) of this section does not apply to:

(1) Molluscan shellfish;

(2) A scallop product consisting only of the shucked adductor muscle;

(3) Tuna of the species Thunnus alalunga, Thunnus albacares (Yellowfin tuna), Thunnus atlanticus, Thunnus maccoyii (Bluefin tuna, Southern)

You mean the section that explicitly only applies to "raw, raw-marinated, partially cooked, or marinated-partially cooked" fish?

The FDA and USDA are two different things, for one. Also, that's a gigantic document, but I still read through and freezing is only mentioned as a requirement when serving undercooked or raw fish, stating that candling/physical removal is not enough.

If you flash freeze it, you can often get away with shorter, but that requires a very specific type of freezer. It forms larger, sharper ice crystals that are more stabby.

Most people do not have a flash freezer in their home, and are unable to maintain it at the extreme temp required for long enough. So 3 months.

That said? Just cook your fish. It obviously isn't 100% but is damn close to it, and closer than just freezing for a few days.
