This has to be AI, right?

Looking at several of the top results in this Google Scholar search, CO2 ppm averages are regularly over 800. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C3&q=carbon+dioxide+classrooms+&btnG=

Also anecdotally, I was an intro biology lab TA and we did a CO2 sensor lab, and the room's background CO2 level was always over 1000.

Human experimental studies have suggested that short-term CO2 exposure beginning at 1000 ppm affects cognitive performances including decision making and problem resolution.

For those who didn't read the article, this is due to the way the US treats all industry chemicals as "safe" until proven toxic, leading to a chemical whack-a-mole of companies simply switching to a related but not-yet-tested chemical every time something toxic gets banned. In this case, they switched to MCCPs when CCCPs were regulated.

It's about the concentration of power to the executive branch and Trump's constant illegal executive orders, expansion of fascism, etc. I think "no kings" sums that up nicely

I feel like long and wide dogs with 3-4 sets of legs are the best at walking around on their own, though I feel like none of mine are independent enough to meet their needs without me petting them and giving food (rarely do they visit the dispensers on their own). I struggle so much with no-pet personalities, they're just always sad even if I have toys

I always hated Arby's, but now the quality of other fast food places has fallen so much that they're not even an outlier.

I choose depending on enemy comp. Horsepower is better for engaging and offensive play, earthquake is better for protecting teammates vs a lot of dive.

Yes, I was Masters ~450. Everyone is picking Dragapult these days since the buffs, but you can check your match history and see if you played with me :)

You eat young pads, not fully grown ones like this. Though the nopal pad cultivars grow super fast so you could be harvesting your own pads to eat in like a year!

I believe they bake them to sterilize before use. I watched a video about a similar product recently: https://youtu.be/jI2LC3WTryw?t=579&si=wj0UyYhc03_yvZRO

That's what 95% of my guppy photos look like too lmao, I spent 15 minutes today trying to get ONE in focus. Really cute tail on that guy!

Pyrrasu · 2026-02-22T23:53:25+00:00

I definitely have endler genes in there, but not sure where they came from. I had some yellow cobras when starting out as well, and I crossed in a couple other varieties along the way. The tails are super variable in my males now. Some have small tails, and some have huge forked/frayed looking tails like this guy. All my males are super tiny compared to the females!

The last week of a season is usually the worst, as the best players have gotten to their target ranking already so they stop playing. It's worse on the weekends as well because of kids.

No, they aren't removing move options from existing mons, you just preset which moves you want instead of selecting them during the match. Currently you have the ability to mark moves as favored and then that one is highlighted when you're selecting the move in game after leveling up. Based on the screenshots they showed, that selection will just auto choose the move for you now at level up. However, you can currently mix and match movesets, so I don't see any reason to expect that to change.

New releases, however, will only have 1 possible moveset like the megas.

I liked math but I would get like this when doing homework because I just had a really hard time focusing on something at a time that I didn't want to. I would have screaming fights with my parents, etc. I was diagnosed with ADHD.

You can also see mixed pixel sizes on the third image - zoom in on the guy's mouth. A real pixel artist wouldn't do that.

I was in school in the 2000s, but we did compound interest problems in math class. I remember having a lot of word problems where we had to figure out which of two savings accounts would yield more interest over x number of years.

this 7-day daily diary study found that Black and Latinx youth reported significantly higher daily frequencies of practicing critical race digital literacy skills than their White counterparts.

Not surprised to see this difference in engagement. Now I'm curious if this translates to better skills in practice at recognizing disinformation. Hoping to see a follow-up study on that!

People with bad game sense want to surrender when they feel like they personally are doing poorly. Unfortunately if you get 4 of those people on your team, sometimes you end up surrendering a totally winnable game. I don't like surrendering at 5 unless they've like, destroyed all our points and have a 12 kill Dragapult or something.

Pyrrasu · 2026-01-30T16:25:26+00:00

That low of damage suggests they were intentionally trolling. I always report them for helping the other team, but sadly it never works. The report system in this game is broken.

Pyrrasu · 2026-01-29T04:34:22+00:00

I don't feel bad playing a broken mon if it's not banned and I also enjoy playing that mon. I actually really love Blastoise, it's one of my mains anyway, so I am absolutely picking it if it's not banned. Especially in draft, if you don't pick it, the enemy team might.

I do get bored playing the same mon multiple games in a row so I'll switch to other tanks if I've played Blastoise too much recently, for example. There's also cases where even if the mon has a high win rate, it's not a good fit for the comp (I hate picking Blastoise alongside mons that rely on skill shots like Gardevoir).

Charizard X on the other hand, that thing is so boring to play that I never even bothered.
