Quite a few angiosperms have inconspicuous flowers. All grasses have flowers, but on most species you’ll never see them unless you’re studying them with a magnifying glass

Clearly still happening recently in Canada, how about the US?

Have any examples?

Maple trees are angiosperms and definitely produce flowers. They may not be showy, but they’re there

In English, in my opinion at least, “flower” describes the inflorescence at any point in its growth cycle, while “blossom” describes the flower at its fullest development. More often though, “blossom” is used as a verb meaning to bloom or to develop.

This was posted two days ago and I was in this conversation from the beginning. Still waiting for an example of someone saying that issues of gender equality don’t exist

You’re making it sound like people are saying left and right that gender equality doesn’t exist, when literally no one here is saying that. The comments you’re referring to say the Epstein case isn’t a gender issue, which is very different from what you’re incorrectly perceiving

Where’s Ren and Stimpy on this list?

If that’s your perspective, is anyone ever responsible for anything? Or is it all just genetics and hormones

Montana in particular has a surprisingly progressive constitution. It was only enacted in 1972, largely in response to rampant corruption in the state. Montanans have the “right to a clean and healthy environment,” included because of the abuses of the mining industry, for example.

While it’s got its faults, I’m a Pandora guy and find it vastly superior to Spotify, particularly when trying to find new music

I assume you mean well, but this is serious “confidently incorrect” energy. Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes bubonic plague, never changed to become less virulent and can still affect humans to this day. It has been killing a ton of humans for thousands of years and was still killing thousands of people at a time in localized outbreaks up until we discovered the antibiotics that cure it.

Also, it’s transmitted through the fleas on small mammals, not through the mammals themselves. Flea transmission is far and away the primary vector. Human to human transmission has always been pretty rare, since it can only be transmitted between humans through contact with bodily fluids, similar to how HIV spreads.

That end tho

I disagree that the US military is incompetent, but very much believe the current civilian leadership over the military is both incompetent and not listening to knowledgeable military leadership. This is severely impacting operations in a negative way

I assumed it was “warfare,” and for that every example works

I’m just here to point out that your stomach microbiome consists of bacteria and fungi, which are not plants. There’s also direct evidence glyphosate causes several different types of cancer in animals, which is pretty harmful to animals. Also all life is made up of organic tissue, not just animals.

I disagree. Here in Texas, for example, even while politicians push new fossil fuel investments, property owners and private solar companies are deploying small and medium sized photovoltaic projects all over the state. Solar is a higher percentage of our total generation mix every year, 10% of the total last year (<1% 5 years ago), and its growth is dramatically outpacing that of fossil fuels. You won’t see headlines about this, but the market forces are real

This used to be me, but I put a hook by the door where I handle my bag back up after I’ve unloaded it. I rarely go to the grocery on impulse though, so I’m always making a dedicated trip and leaving from my house, and the routine of it finally sank in. I highly recommend an extra large tote with stiff sides. I can typically fit an entire shopping trip in there for our family of 3 and just sling it over my shoulder

I’ve been using a wireless mouse at work now for over 12 years and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to change the batteries

Why would you go around it when it’s behind you? 🤔
