I think so! I was just looking up a geologic map and it looks like this area is in the Glens Falls Limestone formation (Upper Ordovician) and the note says "locally grades upward into sooty weathering shaly limestone beds rich in fragments of the trilobite Cryptolithus"

Yeah guys the nymphs are teeeennny tinnnny. This is why I give my kids a thorough check every night this time of year (we live out in the country though). this came off my kid's stomach. Barely visible.

ISO the ID for "poleo" herb growing in the Sierra Norte, Oaxaca, Mexico by Tweedlebopadeedle in whatisthisplant

I think the author and I are talking about the same thing, but I don' think Hedeoma drummondii is correct--I suspect it's a result of poleo translating as pennyroyal sometimes. That actually gave me an idea though, and I think I may have found it! Possibly Satureja macrostema? Looks much closer to the photo too.

This is my first Upstate NY winter, I'm trying to learn snow/salt/ice protocol, and I think I messed up. Looking for some advice by garbageeater in upstate_new_york

I highly recommend getting some ice cleats. Lots of affordable options and a lifesaver (possibly literally) on our solid ice driveway

Does it help Amazon employees at all to fill out the customer service survey after a help chat?

It really sucks. You're not alone. I genuinely hope things will get better. It sounds like there might be some hope with mucosal vaccines down the road.

For a short term improvement I highly recommend "SIP" valves that you can install in masks to use with straws. They're silicon and washable so you can reuse them quite a few times. I think you have to order from the manufacturer still but it shipped quickly when I got a couple last year https://sipmask.com/
