It’s more than just letting urchins starve. The spines from their dead bodies prevent the bull kelp from establishing their foothold. And ocean warming is also very problematic for the kelp. Much more so than urchins. I don’t mean to be fat

I started free diving for abalone along the Sonoma coast in 2008. The first few years of diving were plentiful and majestic. But my friends and I noticed the changes around 2015. Less sunflower stars and star fish. After some red tide event

A life lived avoiding all risks would be a miserable existence. Risk and vulnerability should be embraced, within reason. If we can't have discussion, what the hell is the point?

From the little bit of reading I just did, it sounds like only some people with peanut allergies will also experience reactions to other legumes - my brother being one of the unlucky few. I do not believe it was contamination as it was behi

Interesting. My younger brother stays away from all legumes. Chickpeas have caused reactions for him in the past, although much less severe than a peanut.

Make sure no one has a peanut allergy! Aquafaba can cause allergic reactions. My brother experienced this first-hand.

If you have a peanut allergy, please read: I learned about aquafaba from my younger brother who suffers from a severe peanut allergy. He ordered a cocktail at a bar that substituted egg whites for aquafaba so the drink would be vegan friend

Originally (we used Barmetrics in 2014-15), it was marketed as more of an analytics tool for Stripe. I think designing to mirror strip was intentional early on, and worked well enough to not change over the years.

That comes with the territory of entering public markets though. If you don;t want to handle that kind of scrutiny, stay private and raise private equity or aim for a slower growth rate you can fund. Short sellers are good for the nature of

Small scale farming is not always ecologically destructive. We Definitely don’t need endless mono-crop farms, but adding more small scale, diversified, local farms would probably be a net gain for climate. Look into silvopastures and the ca

Same. Progress isn't always smooth or comfortable. Like being at the gym and feeling your muscles burn. But the work and struggle will be worth it, and I'm confident the American spirit will pull us through to a better future.

Has there been any districts/states/counties that have strictly forbid teachers from choosing to wear a mask?? I'm unaware of this but would find it terribly cruel.
