You need to treat them nicely and maybe show a bit of romance. Poems, flowers, even a printed picture of flowers, something nice that will last is all it takes and your instruments will work perfectly for you. Each person may need to contribute individually to the shrine.

I swear, some damned tech came in on a PM and removed my poem from my favorite HPLC and now it’s been acting up for me nonstop.

Yeah, some companies seem to be allergic to standards, hence the need for the final disclaimer.

Oh, this shit is funny!

Offset is a platform that aims to generate high integrity, premium carbon credits from industrial sabotage and direct actions. At the heart of our work is an innovative new methodology for quantifying the climate benefits of political actions that publically disrupt carbon flows.

…

Our Approach

Carbon offsets apply the logic of capitalism to atmospheric interactions. This logic assumes that all activities on earth can be quantified and abstracted, and therefore exchanged. Offsets produce the capacity to outsource the effects of one’s consumption—at the scale of the individual, the corporation, or even the nation state—to someone, somewhere else, even to the generations of the future. In short, many existing carbon offset markets act to maintain a status quo rather than address root causes of the climate catastrophe.

In contrast, the Offset platform includes a registry of alternative offsets that focus on social exchanges and political actions in order to contribute to a program of highly financialized radical change.

Institutional Support

Offset (version 0.1) was commissioned by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, for Data Relations.

C or AC = clear all

CE = clear entry

That said, there are variations based on brand and model.

And your email account will never recover. They’ll sell it like it’s going out of style.

As smug and insufferable as Adam Conover’s character was in that show, IRL he’s making progress leftward and has been an active labor organizer for years, so he’s earned my respect.

Wish he would read some theory. He’s sooo fucking close and would make a good ally.

The best arachnophobia mode is Satisfactory turning all of the spiders into ridiculous cat heads.

The professor hides white text on a white background to catch potential cheaters. The actual assignment is written in black text. If the student has followed the instructions that are written in white, this is a good indication that they may have cheated, because human eyes won’t see the white text against a white background, while a computer program writing a paper for the student will see the white text and follow the additional instructions.

Never skip jaw day.

How’d you find a way around the gender triple point?

Wow, you were lucky! I grew up only knowing one type of knife because that’s all my dad could afford. Imagine growing up in a house where the whole family had to share one knife for both bread and poop!

I never see these people delving into those things with X country that the empire vilifies

Exactly the problem. What is reported and repeated ad nauseum is accepted uncritically.

Checks out. I can verify these claims by virtue of having not verified any of these claims.

Reddit also regularly claims the DPRK doesn’t feed anyone but the Kims, as if they inherited Stalin’s spoon. The shelves are full of fake food. The people are all in concentration camps the people live in constant fear of imprisoning future generations of their people. Etc. etc. etc.

So much garbage, so little evidence, just like everything else on Reddit. That’s why literal experts get downvoted into oblivion.

Give it time, eventually we will do an imperialism to your country too.

No, not at all. This was looking at the effects of reducing inflammation on depression. Typical depression meds are meant to increase the availability of certain neurotransmitters such as serotonin.

Looks like it’s a monoclonal antibody design to decrease inflammation. The target is people with persistent, low levels of inflammation and major depression.

My institution doesn’t give access, but my first question would be whether they accounted for treatment for the underlying cause of the inflammation. Persistent inflammation can cause all sorts of issues and I suppose a treatment for relief is good, but why does it exist? Treating the underlying condition seems more prudent unless they don’t know the cause.

The phrasing was weird, but this guy was born in Egypt and the statue was taken from Egypt. This isn’t a matter of private property, he’s commenting on how the UK exploited Egypt.

Sure, race and nationality are social constructs and genetics don’t support the divisions we make along phenotypic lines, however, you can’t just hope to solve racism and colonialism by saying they are gone and meaningless. If you say they no longer exist, that doesn’t erase the impacts racism and colonialism have had on a people.

In essence, it’s like punching someone repeatedly until they are bloody, stealing the money from their wallet to buy yourself a house, and then saying, “why can’t we forget our differences and just be friends?” Is everything alright? Is it ok that you now have a home and the other person is destitute because you stole their money? Does it make it any better if it was your parents or grandparents who did this and now you’ve inherited the house?

Just claiming it’s a social construct and wiping your hands of the issue does not fix the problem. And that metaphor I made does not even encompass the entire issue! Reality is more along the lines of: now that you own this house, you enforce policies that continually raise the price of housing and put a tax on people who don’t own a house. The exploitation many people have suffered at the hands of racism and colonialism never stopped, it just changed it’s form.

Damn, beat me to it. Colonialism is a hell of a drug.

The other comment about a rotation would probably work, but if you want to keep it in the bathroom, get a little grow light for the plant.
