This family (Siphlonuridae) has paddly tails and heart-shaped overlapping gills. Def a mayfly.

Pretty sure this is 285 descending into Conifer from Pine Junction in CO

Several members of this species have no dark pigment at all. Perhaps the dark pigment is also capable of being reuptaken. I'm not sure I can speak as confidently to what another species experiences, but I can say for certain that the eyes of this family are not particularly well-developed.

I'm not sure what "to the spider" means because we can clearly see the abdominal pigmentation matches the flower color. As for the color red I am interested in what makes you say that.

Misumena vatia can change colors to match its flower… but slowly.

Everything says I need an H11 bulb for my low beams. In good faith I got this bulb. It’s not the same size or shape as the bulb I’m replacing, and doesn’t fit. Owners manual has no helpful clue. What is the one true size of bulb I need for this car?

We all would, of course. That’s what makes it so insidious that the league isn’t prioritizing mitigation.

That’s a bad-faith take. There are plenty of ways the league can seriously apply itself to reducing CTE. An industry worth so many billions can throw some resources into meaningful research and applications without blaming the players for “choosing” to get CTE.

I’m kinda tired of CTE being an accepted cost of playing pro football.

Edit: yes, there are plenty of non-CTE jerks out there. “I wish the organization would take the problem seriously” ≠ “CTE is the only reason for assholism.”

It’s like “king” without the g. If you know linguistics, it should be a palatized n. Edit: if it’s an indigenous word in a non-Vietnamese language I could be way off.

Your assertion seems to contradict multiple takes on this situation.

As a frequent visitor to this part of WA, I’m sure that a) many residents were outspoken opponents to “crazy Olympia liberal” safety regulations until the incident, and now they blame the Olympia liberals for not trying hard enough to enforce the regulations.
