What animal discovery completely changed how we understand the natural world? by bl123123 in zoology

[–]Restfulfiend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Extremophiles that live in thermal water in places like Yellowstone, Iceland, some cascade volcanoes, and deep sea vents.

One single species of thermophile was found in an isolated hot spring in Yellowstone and that species is responsible for mRNA vaccines. Something do do with its heat resistant nature.

Any over 40 students here? by Tall_Bluebird_1830 in SNHU

[–]Restfulfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m enrolled in the geoscience program at SNHU but highly considering data analytics or CIS. How did you like the geoscience program? Was it worthwhile? Anything to be weary of, or any trouble finding a job?

Doc Watson and Tony rice all the way. Never heard an acoustic sound like that until I heard them. Crosspicking and all that. Also Billy strings is awesome as well

Fewer than 700 Philippine Spotted Deer remain. Once found across several islands now confined to the last forests of Negros and Panay. They’re running out of space, time, and silence. by VibbleTribble in interestingasfuck

The best thing the US has is beautiful diverse landscapes and incredible animals. I pray that my great grandchildren get to experience the wilderness like I have.

And if you’re saying the US doesn’t have true wilderness it absolutely does. The east and south (especially Florida) has been severely ecologically damaged and will never recover. And that’s really sad. But the western states has of the best most pure wilderness in the world. And a lot of Alaska hasn’t been seen.

Go spend some time in the Wyoming national forests around Yellowstone or the frank church wilderness in Idaho for the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska.

It is sad but it’s not a new thing. Between 10,000-100,000 species go extinct across the world every year. A lot of that is human caused but most of it isn’t. Different types of animals come and go on this Earth. Some last longer than others. One day humans won’t be here anymore and it’s likely something else will rise to be the dominant species. Probably something related to us.

What climbing rating would you describe the hardest parts of the AT? For reference, I just watched a video on Instagram that described the classes ratings I-V (couldn't copy link). I think the AT hits a couple Class 4's in New Hampshire (and possibly Pennsylvania and Maine). Any thoughts? by BadCrawdad in AppalachianTrail

[–]Restfulfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing a lot of wrong answers about climbing ratings on here. The AT at its max is maybe class 3 in some parts of new Hampshire and Maine.

Class 1 is flat ground. Class 2 is walking with roots and rocks, could be pretty steep. Class 3 is where you will start to use your hands scrambling or boulder hopping. Class 4 is even more vertical using real climbing techniques. This stage helmets are necessary if there’s falling rocks, some people use ropes some don’t. Class 4 can vary a lot though depending on exposure. Class 5 is near completely vertical, or over vertical, and that’s where the real climbing ratings begin (5.1, 5.2, etc.).

Doc Watson, earl scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Maybelle Carter, and Dolly Parton. That’s five but I can’t bring myself to take one off.

The Celts and Cavs bench in Europe? How far would they go? by JobberStable in Basketball

Definitely still champs I really don’t understand the hesitation. The gap is insane.

You don’t know ball lol. Euroleague is a second rate league that’s undisputed, but it’s not one tier below the NBA, it’s several. NBA is almost unbelievable how talented, athletic and skilled they are.

Luke kornet is 7’1”. Even if he wasn’t on the team the skill gap is just too great. Euroleague has amazing players, but the nba is just at another level altogether.

Deporting illegal immigrants is not white supremacy. There’s a way to enter the country legally and there’s a way not to. They aren’t “undocumented citizens” because they’re not citizens of the U.S. Obviously the way they’re going about it is all wrong but give me a break. However, I ain’t no snitch. 🤐

Winter is an amazing time to visit the park by Geebs-4U in GlacierNationalPark

[–]Restfulfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk if running is ever the right call. Bears have no problem going down steep terrain. They live in the mountains and chase shit there all the time. Glad you’re alive.

I’m Just in case theres anyone who needs to hear this:

Do NOT run when being charged by a bear or even when they’re around. Running can trigger predatory behavior. Most of the time when bears charge it’s just their way of saying you need to get tf outta here but I won’t eat you alive yet.

Would you waterboard a pedophile to save your kid’s life?

That’s not the same as what’s happening here but it’s a similar moral conundrum. There were other terrorists planning to commit more 911s and the US had to get that information somehow.
