While my guitar gently meeps

A bit more coppery coloured, I think.

AI sloppy toppy

Glad she’s okay. My youngest has some pretty gnarly allergies as well

HA.

I Think I did the math right

There’s a rule: the burden of proof lies on the person who is going against established knowledge

Just me finding a cache of memes

I found a shitpile of memes, and I’m spamming them. The good ones, at least.

Yes. I found a good rabbithole

‘not Clinton’ does not change the fact that Trump blew SOMEONE!

I thought that QQ was a dead giveaway

A man of culture, I see.

I believe it’s the sun and good genetics. I’ve got decent genetics (I think?) but I worked outside all of my 20s and 30s. I used sunscreen religiously but squinting (due to sun) and the like also plays a role. It’s hard to remember to reapply in the middle of a 12 hr day, when there’s work that needs to be done.

I’m exaggerating how wrinkled I am, but I definitely got crows feet and forehead wrinkles.

How do you not have crows feet - Christ your skin is smooth - I would take grey over looking like Ed Harris’s ball sack (like I do)

While @AugustWest@lemmy.world provides an anthropogenic use for bat boxes, they are widely used in conservation.

Disturbance is putting a lot of pressure on bats. White nose fungus is also hammering bat populations. Anyway, bat boxes are artificial refugia - simulated habitat. These boxes, like other artificial refugia, such as bee boxes, need to be pretty carefully designed so they don’t do the following:

• thermally stress the animals - they won’t use them, or they’ll die if they freeze or fry in them
• act as traps - predators are smart, and will exploit poorly designed refugia
• promote disease, in the case of bee or bat boxes - refugia can be any shape or size, but ones that encourage multiple animals to use them can cause mortality through spreading disease

In general, refugia are at best temporary spaces while ecosystems recover from disturbance and natural habitat re-establishes. This is hard in the case of bats, because they need tree crevices (found in older trees) or rock outcrops and the like.

there’s some really cool papers out there on artificial refugia, if you want to nerd the fuck out about it. Cowan, did some great work around them. He’s a cool dude, and was super pumped to hear how his papers were being considered from a reclamation standpoint when I reached out to him: https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/csp2.204

But his emails

What accent do you fart in?
