People are telling you it would die in the winter but the truth is it would die in a week. This pet was surely abandoned in the past 48 hours and that's why this is so rare. They are hyper adapted to the water cycles, nutrient profile,

It is absolutely an abandoned pet. They cannot survive outside the tropics. Hell, they can't even survive outside the 2 lakes in Mexico City that they're hyperadapted to There are less than 1,000 of them in the wild. Trust me if i

Yup. A lake that used to fuel the single most productive agricultural system humans have ever practiced. It's sad but there is a strong indigenous movement to bring them back. The axolotl actually became a major symbol of indigenous re

Big agree. I would love the focus to be on contributing, improving, and consolidating around existing open-source solutions. Unfortunately, most AI-enabled contributions have been slop and the maintenance burden of open source has increased

They are unique to like 2 lakes in Mexico. This is someone's pet that they dumped there. It would not have survived more than a week in Wales had it not been found.

1000 wild ones. There's much more in captivity than in the wild. They evolved to be quite dependent on the unique agricultural islands in the Valley of Mexico called Chinampas. These were drained by the colonizers. Which is why Mexico

Axolotl's have become a global icon. First as an anti-colonial protest symbol for indigenous peoples. But now it's even a creature in Minecraft Edit: oh the article says as much > Axolotls as pets have seen a surge in popularit

They're not very online but they are still doing workshops and stuff in person. Their home page shows some events in 2025 but if you really wanna get involved you would probably need to connect offline. I have a friend of a friend who&

Fun fact. Lightning strikes stimulate fungi to produce more mushrooms. Some shiitake and nameko cultivators in Japan have started using electrical shockwaves and gotten dramatically improved yields (sometimes over 200%). Interestingly enoug

Your comment is heavily downvoted because, especially the first sentence, seems AI generated. Was this comment AI generated? HN is for human discussions

Yeah I was imagining this would be more of a co-op situation so the rift between "consumer" and "manager" is lessened. Maybe I just want a more nuanced version of the co-op model or a technologically-enabled model that a

Yeah food co-ops are awesome but they don't expose that kind of information to the casual shopper. Even most members. Even if you're very actively involved you'd have to strap together multiple spreadsheets and receipts to co

That's true, grocery stores made record profits during covid. I've sometimes toyed with the idea of an "open sourced" grocery store that's extremely transparent about every detail. Think electronic price tags that g

Just to be clear, "bricked" here means: 1. if you factory reset a device after May 20, you will not be able to sign in or use the device at all. 2. if you have one already you can use it with your downloaded books but you cannot u

Not the same thing. Those old devices are essentially being bricked. You will no longer be able to sign into them. Amazon is offering a 20% discount to owners of those devices to switch to any other modern kindle.
