Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.

@hasmis @Iwillyeah Indeed, peeled tomatoes ensure a minimum quality amount (tomatoes have to be entire). I still do get very bad tomatoes in there.

Carnivorous oyster mushrooms can kill roundworms with “nerve gas in a lollipop”
"The mushrooms have evolved a novel mechanism for paralyzing and killing its nematode prey: a toxin contained within lollipop-like structures called toxocysts that, when emitted, causes widespread cell death in roundworms within minutes. Scientists have now identified the specific volatile organic compound responsible for this effect"
@Iwillyeah @hasmis I know how to make good tomato puree at home, but I don't really know the industrial processes.
The easiest way to know if they're good is buying them and tasting them. I'm not really sure how I'd go about investigating the production quality of several factories spread across the world.
Identifying which cans are good is easy to me, my problem is remembering.
@GustavinoBevilacqua Finora i vertici di trenitalia non ci hanno pensato.

Bisogna rinazionalizzare le ferrrovie, e renderle gratuite, per togliere auto dalla strada.
E le ferrovie devono tornare a fare il servizio pacchi come facevano una volta, per togliere furgoni dei corrieri dalla strada.
E i CEO che piangono li mandiamo a zappar cicoria in Sud Sudan (dove non hanno ancora sminato).
@GustavinoBevilacqua Forse siamo nel momento giusto in cui poter fare questa azione; bisogna agire in fretta però, prima che cada il governo. Se torna in capo la sinistra siamo fregati.
Qualcuno dica alla Meloni di fare arrivare i treni in orario.
@bloved @GustavinoBevilacqua Hai compilato il modulo 706b per la modifica a sistemi di riscaldamento non coibentati?
@GustavinoBevilacqua A me basterebbe la terza classe.
Dico, un aereo Spagna-Italia mi costa meno che farmi Milano Venezia in regionale. E ci mette pure di meno.
@uselessfactsbadlydrawn Damn you, we'd all be better off with the -logH scale

@clarjon1 Damn, I always used a flashlight for that, that's where I was mistaken... I guess I'll have to get a nailgun
@kellogh Is there something a bit more brief than a thesis about it?
@manto No, quello era giusto uno che passava di lì, dicono sia andata così: "Ma cosa fa gendarme, non si scassinano mica così le serrature. Guarda che questi giovani non sanno più fare niente. Dia qui quell'arnese, che c'è un motivo se non mi avete mai preso."
@Yaku Attento ai diametri dei tubi che sennò in fondo non ti esce niente

"The research into Verra, the world’s leading carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn (£1.6bn) voluntary offsets market, has found that, based on analysis of a significant percentage of the projects, more than 90% of their rainforest offset credits – among the most commonly used by companies – are likely to be “phantom credits” and do not represent genuine carbon reductions."
So greenwashing schemes do not work as advertised? Who'd have thought?
@rrb I find it useful, it makes life easier.
If you work for any kind of public institution I would imagine your government knows where you are and what you do anyways.
If someone wants to track you and you don't have an orcid, they can just write your name on any publications search engine and find all you did.
To me, it just looks like making life easier to your peers looking for your works, you're not really disclosing any more information than what you already disclose yourself.
That's unless you change name in each article you publish. As far as I know you can use a pseudonym in orcid as well.
