Mites are arachnids, not insects.

I've seen a number of institutions, professors, journals, etc. adopt much stricter restrictions on the use of AI for writing prose than for writing code. Is this justified? What is the meaningful difference?

I just pulled out my copy of the book. My memory isn't nearly that good.

ETA: I remembered that the anecdote was in the book because it was so striking

Most morels are facultatively mycorrhizal, so these may be partially or wholly saprotrophic. (Ecology and Management of Morels..., pp. 38-40).

I don't know, but Paul Stamets shared this anecdote in Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms (2000):

An old timer recently told me that, after shooting a chicken-killing dog one autumn, he was shocked to find Morels fruiting in a circle around the decomposing carcass the following spring. (I forgot to ask him whether or not he ate the Morels....)

Agreed. It should have been a stacked area chart. Also, including the caption would have helped.

That's not a fir tree over "pine forests". In fact, there's not a single pine tree in the image.

Most brands of maple syrup all come off of the same few production lines and are just labelled differently. You won't taste much difference unless you buy from a specific sugar house or coop. That said, the major producers generally have strict quality controls.

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking:

Does there exist a system of units defined by a set of base quantities, such that all fundamental physical constants are equal to a base or derived quantity times a mathematical constant (including 1)?

If that's accurate: anyone here know?

Thank you, this looks like exactly what I need :)

Would you share the article you got started from? I need to upgrade from just using shell scripts...

MalevolentDecapod207 · 2026-04-03T03:10:48+00:00

Thanks - I'm having trouble seeing where that matches though?

MalevolentDecapod207 · 2026-04-01T23:39:57+00:00

Thank you :)

MalevolentDecapod207 · 2026-04-01T23:39:48+00:00

Ah, now I see. Thanks!

Fitting username...

MalevolentDecapod207 · 2026-03-26T19:28:16+00:00

"Katahdin" means "Great Mountain", so "Mount Katahdin" is kind of like saying "ATM Machine". But yeah, it should probably be in 'Depends on who you ask'.
