Русофобия — нормальная реакция на русскую идею, выродившуюся в идею геноцида. Это не ксенофобия, т.к. причислять себя к русским как нации — личный выбор каждого. Не важно, кто вы по рождению и национальности, главное — не отождествлять себя с русскими, и всё у вас будет ок

The point here is not the actual list of subjects, but that the school system that teaches Chemistry or Geography for many years while not preparing children for real life in many aspects is substantially flawed

The Schmidt Pain Index was the result of Dr. Justin Schmidt's remarkable endeavor where he willingly experienced the stings or bites of 78 different species of Hymenoptera, including bees, wasps, and ants, in an effort to quantify the pain intensity. Dr. Schmidt, an entomologist from Arizona, was driven by curiosity to understand the effects of these insect stings. In 1983, he introduced the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, which rates the painfulness of various stingers on a scale from "0" (mild) to "4" (severe). For context, the common honey bee or wasp sting is rated as a "2" on this scale. However, the index goes beyond numerical ratings. Dr. Schmidt also provides qualitative descriptions of the pain and its duration in his assessments. The purpose of this index is to allow for scientific comparisons of the pain caused by stings from different species, using a four-point scale that simplifies the distinction between pain levels.

Mount St. Helens erupts in 1980. Steve Firth, a friend of the man who took this photo had the following to say: “...That Pinto and dirt bike belonged to a good friend of mine and when he stopped to turn around, he took this picture. He told me that there was lightning bolts shooting out of the smoke but he didn’t have the right filter on his camera to capture them at that moment. The picture could have been even more amazing. It was used on the TV news and used to be on the cover of Mt. St. Helens brochure at the Johnston Observatory / visitor center. He gave me an original 8×10 copy of it although it looked like he was a good distance away from the blast, he barely made it out of there alive. Had the blast came more in his direction he would have died in seconds. Sometime later he returned and photographed a burned-out pickup with a horse trailer attached to it. He told me he had talked to them that day and said they never made it out. He is a freelance photographer so he took some amazing pictures of the aftermath as well. Anyhow, I thought I’d let you know a bit more about that fabulous picture."

A final look at the #WildWorldMap before I draw constellations and cosmos in the corners. 🌌 The gap in the Southeast Pacific is for a likely cartouche. Hard to believe it’s so close to completion after 3 years of hand-drawing and 1,500 different animals… 🐋

model outputs something extremely offensive: oh its just reflecting the patterns and biases in its training data. its not the model's fault its society and the internet. model does something reasonable and useful: its a miracle! this thing is intelligent and thinks on its own!

First, let's argue for plant and insect rights. At least, those are indeed living.
