Done, thanks for reporting outdated information. Why don't you set up an account? It provides more privacy than "anonymous" editing.

@PSL2Z Thanks for making that edit. I would have made a very similar edit in response to this thread, but it would have meant waiting until later or trying to do it on a phone.


A heartfelt reminder that money's best postcard/gift. On the worst, most stressful month of the year I got half of my paycheck due to lack of projects work had. Just need to survive until next one. Much appreciate it, thank you, it really does mean the world 🖤

These two begonias have bounced back from the brink of death in April. They both had a single leaf left when I moved into my new apartment that has awesome sunlight. Those are 4 foot tall tomato cages. allforgardening.com/1538377/th… #begonias

C'è un motivo se le persone pensano che la maggior parte della comunicazione scientifica faccia schifo (e hanno anche ragione).

Metà delle testate ti tratta come se avessi sei anni. "La cellula è come una fabbrica!" (grazie, avevo capito). L'altra metà ti sbatte in faccia paroloni incomprensibili e se non capisci, problema tuo.

Noi abbiamo provato un'altra strada.

Queste sono le nostre regole. Non negoziabili. Vi raccontano come lavoriamo, e contro cosa. Se vi riconoscete, benvenuti.

I want to boost this 1000 times.

The reality is that I'll probably manage two or three and then I'll get bored and wander off to do something else.

@roknrol at the end of the Civil War the Union marched all the way back to Richmond, which they needed like a hole in their head, to burn it to the ground.

I am no historian but that seemed prudent to me.
