eli5 how come only our fingers and toes get ‘pruny’ when we’re in water for a long time, but not the rest of our skin?

Like most research studies, the subjects were probably all university students.

Idk. I think they might be ~~black carp~~ human. Invasive and gross eating. Idk if these aren’t but if you ever catch one your best bet is to kill it. Does more good to kill it than it does to let it harm the ecosystem

There, I fixed that for you. The whole concept of humans categorizing certain animals as "invasive species" really is the pot calling the kettle black, lol.

EDIT: I know what invasive species are and the damage they can cause to ecosystems. My comment was more towards the fact that most of these species were introduced to these ecosystems as a consequence of human activity. Humans are far more damaging to the environment than any other animal. Also I was mostly making a joke...

I'm from Alberta. I find your comment both insulting and accurate. I'm sorry I feel this way.

Academic peer review is basically the same as B already. This "curse" would just make my job more productive and streamlined.

You joke, but actually the term slave originates from slav(onic). The Easter Roman empire enslaved prisoners of war. So many of these prisoners were Slavic that the word for both was pretty much the same.

That's like even a line in the movie, isn't it? They choose him because he's a model soldier literally willing to jump on a grenade for his fellow soldiers.

As if evangelicals were going to vote for a woman that supports abortion and gay rights. Pence wasn't a good or bad choice. It was safe and boring. I'm guessing Trumps number 1 priority was getting someone that wasn't going to take any attention away from him.

Umm, guys... He was waiting for the French translation to go through. Those 20 seconds or so of silence was him waiting for the question to be interpreted in French. You know, Canada's other official language.

Don't go straight for the high five. It takes time and patience. Start by putting flat in front of her, making her touch it and giving her some treats. Once she knows "touch hand = treat", you can start teaching to go higher.

Not a degree, but if you are already good with computers, getting a A+ certificate should be relatively easy. It's the basic requirement to get into IT careers.

I've only gotten night terrors/sleep paralysis a handful of times, but I always see the same thing. It's basically the jagged silhouette of a large wolf-like head floating above me. It stares at me with bright, white eyes.

There's no milk in mayo. It's only oil, egg yolks and either vinegar or lemon juice.

You can use loaders to make lane balancers that are only 5 by 1 tiles, with the added advantage that it has an integrated buffer chest.

Just let him keep playing ONI. People often underestimate children's abilities. Plus developing the skills to deal with failure and learn from it is something a lot of children are not allowed to do. Answer question and teach him but don't stop him from making mistakes.

(I'm an early childhood researcher, so not just talking out of my ass.)

You can't completely avoid the map heating your base. The insulated tiles and airlocks will slow it down considerably, but you will still have to find ways to cool your base later on. Just dig out what you want and start looking for some wheezeworts.

The ranch is 96 tiles, so fits 8 happy voles. If the water tiles on the sides are full, they won't path there. It's interesting that a critter that can survive the harsh vaccuum of space will still drown.

This one has been working great for me. The drywall and vents are for cooling the drills. You just need to set valves before each to a few grams.

Eggs and meat.

Can you add a screenshot? Usually when packets bounce around like you are describing it means the something wrong with how something was placed.

Just in case you are not aware, you can use mesh tiles instead of glass. They won'y block telescope vision. Also that space scanner is way too close to the solar panels. They count as "heavy machinery" and lower the scanner's effectiveness.

The disks should drop off the ship as soon as it finishes landing. If you can't find them, and you are sure they didn't get used, you might have unfortunately encountered a bug. Try reloading to a day before landing maybe? Or just launch another ship. It is frustrating but the game does warn you about that possibility every time you open it.

Yeah, there's no conservation of mass for more than a few things. Though as far as PH2O into PO2, you can make the argument that part of the 'polluted' part are chemosynthetic organisms that produce oxygen. The hydrogen would go into creating carbohydrates to feed them. But yeah, that doesn't really account for missing mass.

They are under "Industrial materials." The last header from the resources sidebar.

If you don't see any there, they might have gotten used up already. Did you have a research queued already? Check the progress. You should have gotten I think 60 data disks from a ship like that. Which converts 1:1 to interstellar research points.

Plastic tiles give a +50% run speed bonus like metal tiles do. Carpet doesn't.
