Hubble image of Arp 107, also known as UGC 5984.
The one-armed spiral and its smaller elliptical companion galaxy are gravitationally interacting with one another, which is likely responsible for the spiral galaxy's unusual shape, as well as the bridge of gas and stars that connects the two galaxies.

Disaster preparedness lesson: cool off that refrigerator more often/longer. (Freezer: fine, ice cream did not even melt a bit; leftover meat in the fridge: <retch> <vomit> <hurk hurk hurk>)
You don’t say!! This can’t be true. Shocking.
But now I have another example to use when I talk about how it is important to vote for the position of coroner. Because the science denying lazy republicans do this on purpose. Because they’re in a death cult.
According to a new US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC) analysis, only about a fifth of patients who died within a month of being discharged after an influenza hospitalization had influenza listed on their death certificate, hinting that deaths from flu-related complications may be undercounted.

“We sound like a broken record but only because the records keep breaking,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which monitors global temperatures. “They will continue to break until we get emissions under control.”

in reply to gz • • •As someone who's worked with battery systems for decades, it absolutely astounds me what startups are charging for simple things
So you're buying a white box with a cord that comes out of it
The stuff inside the box would cost you less than $100
But they are charging $2,100
It definitely looks pretty! And not having to do any learning or connecting things up is nice. (I'm not being sarcastic. I know we all have limited time and energy)
Up to you whether it is $2,000 worth of nice

It's not a pathogen thing, it's a human thing
Any type of bean products will make you very sick, because of the protein in the beans. But people don't necessarily think beans when they think hummus
As I said elsewhere in this thread to Ben, other examples are frozen peas that have thawed out, soy milk, bean dip, leftover Thai food with tofu in it (or egg, or tempeh)...
Especially people who are not super into cooking, don't necessarily think about the ingredients in the things that they have
