1·2 months agoThat’s a very good advice. I had actually asked the dude and he said to eat the white flesh, I guess he didn’t expect my dumbass to try to bite the skin too lol

No Lawns@slrpnk.net•Lawns are terrible per Underpants IndexEnglish
1·2 months agoUI used a pair of underwear: one was retrieved for examination after 1 month, and the other in the second month
TBI is usually retrieved at the 90 day mark, but they decided to retrieve them in the same timeframe as the UI for this study

1·2 months agoPrivate gardens, the land-use type with the highest levels of soil organic carbon and nutrients, exhibited the greatest biological activity, whereas lawns showed the lowest, with croplands and grasslands falling in between
If you needed another reason to ditch your lawn…

0·3 months agoAfter rereading it, a better description would have been my lips were glued shut, as I took a bite on the skin, which I later learned, has a lot of latex, but the bonding wasn’t strong enough to last more than a dozen seconds or so
If you avoid the skin, and unripe fruits (which has even more latex), you’ll be fine
Why do our hospitals look so bleak? We could have greener hospitals like Khoo Teck Puat or Ng Teng Fong, both in Singapore
Khoo Teck Puat hospital as an example:
Designed to be ‘forest-like’, water features with aquatic species, and plants that attract birds and butterflies were introduced. Greenery extended from the central courtyard to upper levels of the buildings and down into the open-to-sky basement, creating the impression of architecture deeply enmeshed in a garden. At the upper levels, balconies with scented plants bring the experience to the patient’s bedside.
Total surface area of horizontal and vertical greenery is almost four times the size of the land that the hospital sits on. In addition, 18% of the hospital’s floor area account for blue-green spaces and 40% of all such spaces are publicly accessible
[…] Common areas such as the main lobby and public corridors were specially designed for optimal natural ventilation thereby reducing the need for mechanical ventilation and energy consumption. By orientating the subsidized ward tower to ‘capture’ the prevailing North and South East winds, an optimal wind speed is achieved which would provide adequate thermal comfort for the patients.
[…] It is also a serves as a tranquil communal node where the local community can attend public lectures, exhibitions or participate in educational programs organized by the hospital.²
The energy-efficient design reduces energy costs by 50% and provides 40% of the floor area with the potential for natural ventilation.³
