Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)

There’s next to none in all water, when measured by volume.

But things concentrate, so the 0.00005% adds up over time.

Considering it’s also in the water, probably not, no.

Maybe, although the flavor of that probably does change somewhat due to being boiled, just like I imagine the bee concentration/dehydration process adds something.

Have you ever tasted flower nectar?

I grow gladiolus sometimes, and they produce a lot of nectar, but there aren’t any pollinators for those flowers around me, so I remove the nectar myself with a syringe. There isn’t a lot in each flower, but it’s nice in a cup of tea.

It doesn’t really taste like honey, even dilute honey. It doesn’t taste like just sugar water, either, though. I’m sure each flowering plant produces a subtly different flavor, like fruit.

And indeed, honey apparently tastes different depending what the bees are feeding on. But I’d say it’s probably a mix of something bee-specific and the nectar itself.

I thought you were saying the book is a bit pricy the way a tabletop art book in the $100 range is pricy. So I went to see if it was something I could justify for a friend of mine as a gift… but nope, way too expensive is 100% accurate. $620. Holy shit. It’s pricy the way textbooks are pricy (the worst textbook I got was $1200, and it resold for around $600… wasn’t rentable, and no pdf at the time)

I had a puppy that specifically ate the crotch of all my underpants in the laundry. She was pooping out ladybugs and tye dye for days.

What do you think would be the most offensive thing to say to a bear? Or maybe there’s a hand gesture or something that’s really taboo?

I just want to be prepared in case I ever need to know.

For me it’s this comic (keeping to things related to SpongeBob). It’s kinda long, but definitely worth it.

Idk, that’s always how you hear them represented. I just assume there’s a visual component to get people “lost in thought”, cuz while I drift away, most of what I’m conscious of is how I no longer have a way to rejoin a conversation; anything I’m thinking about would require explanation, but I’m aware of what’s going on around me generally.

Being aphantasic and not realizing it until I was… in my late 20s…? Really called a lot of things into question and I still don’t have answers for them. Like the phrase “close your eyes and picture…” I used to think it was like…metaphorical? Turns out they actually mean picture the thing in your mind.

If I didn’t have aphantasia I’d probably have row 1 box 3 marked as well. I get lost in thought, but it’s more logistical planning for eco transformation type stuff (how to convert parking garages into hydroponic farms and the like)

Also messy room is whole house, and I’m doing a lot better with that, but as a kid I cleaned my room with a rake more than once.

Super happy to help, friend!

It was game-changing when I realized I could just… wear sunglasses whenever I like (within reason) as long as I can still see.

My dentist and I had an understanding.

I’d put in headphones and listen to a book with sunglasses on, and pretend he wasn’t there unless I needed something, and he would shut up, do his job, and pretend I wasn’t there unless he needed me to do something. It was a good system.

But the takeaway here is you can totally wear sunglasses at the dentist and avoid that problem entirely. Also nicer on your eyes. They don’t care. It’s awkward af for them too.

You can make or buy something like this if you can’t do clips.
