It might be hard for them to find someone who is both fluent in english AND knows the field well enough to know vegetative electron microscopy is not a thing. Most universities have one general translation help service and science has a lot of field-specific weird terms.

They have been protesting peacefully this whole time. You didn’t hear about it…

Thanks! So it seems around 10% of commutes are wet for this guy, or around 31 rides per year.

Do you have a source for that?? Because I would be very surprised if this is true from the amount of times I remember arriving at school soaking wet.

Agreed! I’m finishing my one-and-only phd at the moment (hopefully) and feel completely done with academics.

How is that possible?? And why would anyone do two phds? I thought that was just a hollywood trope.

Again, I’m happy that worked for you but it is not true for everyone and no claim like “sugar bad, fat good” is ever going to help everyone get more healthy. I myself lost weight by increasing fiber and protein (so many lentils and beans) and decreasing unhealthy snacks. But take my pasta and bread and I will feel unhappy and unmotivated and not move a muscle all day.

And with decreased car use comes increased accesibility and speed for emergency vehicles and essential transport. And if we remove street parking, there will easily be enough space for cycling and walking space. Did you know all parking spaces in the US take up the same surface as the whole of connecticut?

Please think of putting pressure on your local councils to improve bike infrastructure. GCN recently mentioned that more people are in favor of increasing bike paths (in uk and us studies) but carbrains complain louder, so let yourself be heard!

This has lots of potatoes that are high in carbs, so I don’t think it’s keto. Also, everything is healthy in moderation (except stuff like smoking, alcohol) and unhealthy if you eat to much and the keto diet is definitely not for everyone, so be careful making those generalized claims.

Most places I worked at had showers available for those who cycled a long distance or enjoyed a lunch activity such as running.

The netherlands, a huge cycling country, is also known as a dreary place where it rains more than the sun shines. You just put on a good waterproof outfit and you’re good. Cycling heats you up as well, so as long as you have good clothes I would say its doable up to and including freezing temperatures, depending on the road surface.

I don’t like pure vinegar, but it’s a nice taste to add to a dish to make it slightly more acidic/fresh tasting.

I remember having to dissect a bunch of creatures in science class and everything was okay for me, including the pig brain (although skull was already halved for that one). But we had to do a grasshopper and the cute little face just looked at us and we couldn’t do it.

As a european, I follow the us shitshow partly because it influences our politics and lives and partly because I feel sympathy for all the people suffering because of it. Mostly however, I follow it because it is ~70% of the content on lemmy. If I had tiktok I would have liked the speech there.

I feel you… put my rucola sprouts out yesterday and staring at them anxiously every few hours to see if they are happy outdoors. My peppers have shown no signs of life yet.

Ouch… aged three years in a single day.

I will spell out aluminium, but when I have to pronounce it I go with aluminum.

I have no doubt that you can find a lovely woman who is attracted to you. I used to be a girl fawning over a guy calling him cute and we’ve been together for ten years now. Maybe it is helpful to drop some hints that you are looking for a (hetero) relationship, like invite your girlfriends to help you swipe on tinder/bumble, let them know what you are looking for.

Could be multiple years even…
