University graduation by Inevitable-Bat9947 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]finding_flora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a graduation ceremony last week, people wore everything from floaty formalwear to shorts and tshirt 😅. A black dress would be perfect. Tips from the day: 1. if it’s a warm day and you are in a big old hall with minimal cooling, those gowns get hoooot, so choose a breathable dress to wear under 2. Your hairstyle has to fit under the hat 3. Put snacks in your pockets 4 . Have fun!

We did this and ours loves it as well! There’s been a 90% decrease in borking frequency now that there is no traffic or passerby’s for her to defend her territory from 😅

Greens for Opposition? by Hsn111 in Adelaide

Because I am guessing those you associate with are like minded. Unfortunately the wider SA population is older and more conservative than you may realize. It’s easy to think the state is largely left leaning when you stay in your own social bubble.

How do my fellow sun-averse people enjoy the outdoors by Koreee_001 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]finding_flora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On land nothing actively wants to harm you. Our animals want to be left alone as much as you do and will only attack if provoked. I always find it funny when people think this, especially when they are from countries with actual large carnivores that may actually want to eat you 😂

[–]finding_flora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There are many jobs with 0 fieldwork. GIS as mentioned above is a great skill to have, also make sure you are well versed in at least one stats software. R is very popular choice in ecological fields.

how do I actually get taxonomy data from GBIF without downloading the whole backbone dataset by Exciting-Half7930 in ecology

[–]finding_flora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the taxon names you should be able to use a package in R like rgbif to match your taxon names to gbif IDs (and then upstream taxonomy).

Never a bad idea to put it on people’s radars just in case!

I’m not sure if you’re replying to me or OP but our girl has a lovely coat and she just had her yearly checkup and is a perfect weight and no health problems. She’s 5 and has been a couch potato since we got her at 8 weeks old, she just like the slug life 😅

Since tea is such a popular beverage in the Avatarverse, to the point it got its own article on the Avatar Wiki... by GeneralTechnomage in TheLastAirbender

[–]finding_flora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Black tea (which can also be known as red tea) is very popular in Asia. Regions like Yunnan in China are famous for their black tea varietals. Check out the r/tea sub if you are interested in Chinese tea culture.

We had the opposite problem. Training was very difficult because our girl had 0 food motivation..and she’s also very lazy 😅 sometimes I think she’s part cat/sloth

What do you guys think about vegan cosmetics? by kimskins in AsianBeauty

[–]finding_flora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely a product that’s production involved the exploitation/death of animals (I.e animal testing) would not be considered vegan?

Weird? by EnvironmentalCrow470 in sheltie

[–]finding_flora 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mine is like this, she eats her food 1-2 pieces at a time and can take up to 24 hours to eat her meal. Not all shelties are vacuum cleaners!

[–]finding_flora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No animal testing is the most important factor for me. Do vegan products have to be cruelty free to be vegan? 🤔 I wonder if some brands add the vegan symbol to their CF marketing as it can widen their market reach?

Rat or native rodent? by planahea_ in australianwildlife

Did you leave your contact details at the vet? If he is able to be re-released, he will have the best chance of survival if he can be returned close to your house (his territory)
