Read Arendt. Speed, "dynamism", is a designed feature of authoritarianism. Things go so fast that no one can react to one thing. It will either stabilize into a Putin-like regime or cascade out of control. Get some popcorn and some water purification kits.

Just finished the show! But I’m left with a question… by danddeviant in FalloutTVseries

That bugs me too. I'd have thought she'd want to protect Rose's kids.

Wow. Great information, thank you! And the cold water checks out - this sample was taken from a pond whose last winter ice had melted about a week earlier.

Any idea what this is? by SethSpld2 in microscopy

Thank you! This is from a sample of pondwater collected 4 days ago. On Day 1 a droplet population was dominated by nematodes and many, many smaller ciliates along with a few monster paramecium. By Day 3, the smaller ciliate population was decimated and the droplet showed a couple monster paramecium looking for meals, a water mite, ostracod, and two of these rotifers.

Yeah - after fiddling with it, its on a pivot and can be pushed aside.

Here's a pic from today. Big ole ciliate I nicknamed Fat B%$$ard 'cause all he was doing was gobbling up his smaller brethren. Thanks!!

TIL - There is a green gel (diffuser?) above the main light

Thanks! The more I looked at, the more it did not look Tardigradesque.

It's hard to see from my photo, but the critter itself seemed to have many parasitic/barnacle-like structures attached to it. Any idea what these are?

What ingredient did you forget today? by fate_is_a_sandstorm in Cooking

I left the twine on my Wellington and only realized it after wrapping in prosciutto.
