Distribution of mammals on Earth.
Maybe this planet can't support our current levels of animal husbandry??
This is fascinating - Tapeworms eaten by Acorn #ants secrete more insulin that seems to aid in the ants #longevity. They want the ants to live as long as possible, to increase their chances of being eaten by a #woodpecker 😳.

Emergency Contraception (aka "morning-after pill") has Levonorgestrel as its active ingredient, but so do some regular oral contraceptives (with estradiol as well). In an emergency where you might not have access to emergency contraception, on a full stomach, take the number of pills which would total one milligram of Levonorgestrel, and then repeat the prices in twelve hours. We'll be doing a detailed video on this, but in the meantime, keep each other healthy, keep each other safe. 🏴🧪🔬🖤
I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

I knew the "Hamburger", but didn't know the Meatballs... I think I'll start calling it by that name now. actually, there's more food names:

Being on a software team is more like being in a band than working on an assembly line. If two members don't click, you'll get a worse outcome than if one worked solo. In fact, it's far from likely productivity would be halved—it might even increase thanks to less conflict and rework.
And yet almost every software team is assembled as if it were a landscaping crew. Far too little regard is paid to the importance of rapport, creativity, inspiration, positivity, and the overall vibe in the air.
Every writer and every painter acquires their base knowledge on which they found their creativity in exactly the same way that an #AI does - by looking at a lot of other people's stuff.

Someone just mentioned the differences between #Twitter and #Google regarding user data. Yes, indeed.
I've worked inside #Google twice. Their explicit rules, approvals, logging and "need to know" requirements for access to user data are most impressive. Anyone even attempting to access user data inappropriately is fired and marched out the door by security. This is part of why I have a great deal of trust in Google, and consider Elon's #Twitter to be utterly untrustworthy and totally beneath contempt.
If someone calls claiming to be from your financial institution - even if they sound very much like what you'd expect from a bank and say that it's an urgent matter - ask them for a case reference number and tell them you'll call them back at the 1-800 number on the bank's website.
The fraudsters are really out in force at the moment.
