  • what is going on with those error bars

  • You should probably move so you don't continue polluting the neighborhood xD

  • This is a great question. There's a framework/way of thinking called the Social Model of Disability that would be a very important part of solarpunk culture.

    The Social Model says that it's not the person who's disabled, it's the society that disables them by not having the right supports built in to meet their needs. Everybody has the same general needs, and people with disabilities have extra needs on top. The people are fine as they are. Disabilities aren't necessarily something to be "fixed." It's society's responsibility to make sure everyone has what they need. If a person is disadvantaged, it's because the society they live in is failing them, not because they have different needs.

    It's the embodiment of people actively looking out for each other at every level of society. Neighbors taking responsibility for helping their neighbors recover from surgery by doing chores while they heal up, people working as personal care assistants getting paid enough to live comfortably on, specialty health services being available in rural communities the same way they are in cities, sidewalks having safe curb cuts for people who use wheelchairs to not get dumped out of them when they try to do something as simple as crossing the street, and facilities being designed to truly include everyone and offer them the same experience instead of "separate but equal."

    Introverts and people with communication challenges aren't expected to talk to their neighbors and ask them for help; their neighbors should be observant enough to notice where they're struggling and step up because they already have a friendly relationship and talk from time to time. It's an absolutely massive shift from the way we do things now, and it is so long overdue.

    In terms of food, I don't think we'd be limited to unprocessed local goods. We'll still have the energy to transport and cook food, and we'll always have people who like to develop new recipes. I haven't thought about ways to bake that in to society yet, but now I will!

  • Yeah, my feelings are a little hurt, too 😞

  • Modern software engineers don't write their stuff in assembly and my degree program didn't require math beyond Calc 2 for a reason--the biologies are diiiiistantly applied maths!

  • I went into the biological sciences so I wouldn't have to do math! I want a refund

    "Not right now."

  • This is EXACTLY why working with any living thing is frustrating. It's always something lol

  • If you talk to your rehab department and find a newer occupational therapist, they've been trained to look at things from a systems-and-how-they-interact perspective to bridge the gap between what someone wants to accomplish and what they have already accomplished. They've probably already grumbled about some of the inefficiencies you're looking to identify and tackle to themselves and could be open to collaborating to address them.

  • You can check the validity of your skepticism by asking it a question and verifying its sources.

  • It shows that China is challenging the American hegemony and America's cultural clout is decreasing. Whether it's a competition is in the eye of the beholder. Articles saying "China is outpacing the US in whatever" are making the observation that America, a nation that's used to banking on its reputation for being a top tier innovator in everything from tech to entertainment, is losing that ability if not straight up giving it away.

  • Respect

  • Plus tons of things eat those bacteria, then become food for someone else. How long do the PFASes persist in the bodies of organisms that consume them or the things that eat those critters? If/when they break down, how do those compounds interact with those organisms, or living tissue, or the surrounding environment? I have a lot of questions about this, but sure, the science is neat.

  • Are you saying that because you had the computer next to the dot matrix printer? Because I could see that driving a person to think computers weren't that loud.

  • Look, I just read the articles as they're written and point out the interesting pieces that don't fit in the headline. You got issues with Japan's finance system, that's something you should take up with the author, not the interested fucking reader. Christ on a cracker, hobbyless behavior
