Outside Landers, California, is a bizarre domelike structure called the Integratron. It was built between 1959 and 1978 by a former test pilot, engineer and UFO enthusiast, who claimed he received instructions from the planet Venus. The structure was built at a special location apparently influenced by alignments from the Great Pyramid and the nearby Native American sacred monument of Giant Rock. The builder of the Integratron claimed it was capable of time travel, defying gravity and rejuvenating human cells via electromagnetics. Following the creator's death, there were plans to turn the dome into a disco, but it was bought by two sisters who believed the 'acoustically perfect structure' could offer healing 'sound baths'. #folklore #weird #architecture #UFO #psychogeography #bizarre #California

If you spray a puff of dust onto a attine fungus gardening ant she will stop and clean herself for up to an hour and she will refuse to enter the nest or go near the fungi until she is satisfied that she is clean. Even so ants not clean enough may be removed bodily by their sisters.
I saw a talk at the fly meeting once where they mapped the neurons that control the cleaning reflex, and if they mess with some of them (I don't remember if it was ectopic activation or inactivation; this was a long time ago) they can make the flies just clean themselves indefinitely.
I just read a passage of Doris Lessing's, where she remarked on the similarity between a cat and a fly washing themselves.
I wonder if there are any similarities at all in the neural circuitry.

I will go further: I wonder how old self-cleaning is. is it a bilaterian thing? Does it go back to the first tubes with eyes and a cluster of nerves in their front section?

@bytebro @EricLawton @stevegis_ssg primates are self cleaning when stressed. so we just need to stress you out.

Day-to-day, showers are OK. But on a Sunday I love a long hot soak in a deep bath. This totally does not make me weird!
I only know that in mammals, there's huge variation in how much self-cleaning animals do. Cows and dogs do hardly any self-cleaning, while cats are notoriously fastidious.
Also, in birds there is said to be both a learned component and an inate component; birds raised without a role model preen, but do it poorly.
So the total phenomenon could be quite complicated, with some aspects of it ancestral and others not. : )

There is this common feature of ants, cats and people-- all will self clean not just to get clean but also when stressed as a form of self soothing: there is some kind of reward path being exploited for excitement regulation here.

I've noted that my feline friend Hendrix suffers from bald spots from over grooming over the winter, which is the period I see him far less because its so fecking cold and we hang out outside together.
I suspect its because he needs lots of interaction and might not get it so much over the winter.

I don't know if anyone has proved the thing about ants self-cleaning when stressed; but any antkeeper will tell you that if you move a queen too often, or cause vibrations she'll start cleaning. And if there is too much grooming it's a sign that you need to put her in the dark away from all vibrations and STOP bugging her or she will never lay any eggs.
Also, if you trap an ant it will do this once it realizes it can't get away.

Christopher Walken, remains blissfully insulated from modern technology. “I don’t have a cellphone.

To watch his own performance in the Apple TV show Severance, Walken had to ask the producers to send him DVDs. “I’ve never had a watch either… if I need the time, I just ask somebody.”

Or whether doth my mind, being crowned with you,
Drink up the monarch's plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say, mine eye saith true,
And that your love taught it this alchemy,
To make of monsters and things indigest
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best,
As fast as objects to his beams assemble?
O! 'tis the first, 'tis flattery in my seeing,
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up:
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'greeing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup:
If it be poisoned, 'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.

Purely for a photo op and a bragging media post, Trump minions at the US Army Corps of Engineers have just literally thrown away millions of gallons of #water that farmers in the Central Valley were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost to Californians. There is a small chance some ecosystems will benefit. How ironic.

Why shouldn't California take control of those dams from the Corps of Engineers? If the operators won't close the gates, arrest them for vandalism, public endangerment, theft of a valuable resource, whatever. Those watersheds don't drain into another state or country, so there are no downstream governments to object. Protect Californians from crime.
Texas ignored Federal laws and court rulings, pushed aside Federal enforcement, and took over the Rio Grande.

The main problem I see with Mastodons is precisely that. You lose your toots. Yes the backup, but what good is it if you can't import or migrate? That makes some people afraid (escape) from small instances.
@juancho_me It's a point of view and a matter of the instance. This culminates to a point of the eventuality. We don't get anything with us when we die. I've learned to accept nothing is so precious or permanent ever as we tend to think.

Hey Mastodon, can I tell you a secret? Ready... Here goes! You don't always have to be good at something, you don't need to make money with the things that bring you joy. It is ok to like things that bring you joy even if you're really bad at them. Many people don't see the value of the process of doing the thing, perhaps badly. That is a them problem. It's not always the end result that matters. Sometimes it's just experiencing joy, or relaxation, or peace while you're doing the thing.

As with many of these types of news items, there was no follow up in the papers. Cullerton, who died in 1937, could have pulled in favours, or maybe the case never actually made it to court. Unfortunately I can't find out what happened to Ethel.

A 504 is typically because httpd has to much latency connecting to php-fpm, though it can be that php-fpm is having and issue connecting to dbServer. If you have your entire server stack on one machine (or container) you can configure the servers to use sockets instead of TCP/IP This can help when you have congested network traffic. Keep in mind that this still applies if you are only connecting your server stack via local host as it is still effected by they TCP/IP stack.
note: 504 are typically never from client connecting to httpd or you would never see the message, you would just time out.
note: If you need any of this translated to English please feel free to ask questions . I do not think google is up to it.
note: Sockets can also be better for security as this is one less vector of attack on your server from remote.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,

A late afternoon 12km trail run at about -11C.
We had a lot more snow, but a few days ago the usual warm "Fön" wind with gusts of more than 100 km/h literally blew it away. At the moment it's just cold, very cold, and it can be quite difficult and even dangerous to run because of the ice that often covers the trails, including wells like the one in the picture.

The creature is also said to exude a foul odour.

Thanks for the links. I see that making them into an actual tripod involves lashing them together. I could see doing that if I am stationed somewhere taking lots of pics. But, when taking just a few pics and not having much time for setup (such as a quick selfie at a summit), I find use of a single trekking pole reasonable (although sometimes I can't stick it into the ground which may be solid rock).

"Wir, die Unterzeichnenden, sind Wissenschaftler, die auf dem Gebiet der Klimaforschung arbeiten, und halten es für dringend erforderlich, die Aufmerksamkeit des Nordischen Ministerrats auf das ernsthafte Risiko einer großen Änderung der Ozeanzirkulation im Atlantik zu lenken. Eine Reihe wissenschaftlicher Studien der letzten Jahre deutet darauf hin, dass dieses Risiko bisher stark unterschätzt wurde.
