Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2020:

Bingo on the carb avoidance! Here's another one; Cut your Bagels and english muffins in to "thin-sliced" breads to get more sandwich and fewer carbs. Also consider downsizing those soft tacos from the 12 or 10 inch to the 8 or 6 inch size.

Thank you for sharing this. When ever anyone argues to "plant a tree" or "save the rainforest" I point out the futility of fixing the land photosynthesizers when it's the ocean phytoplankton that not only gave us our first oxygen but do the major work of CO2 sinking and O2 replenishing. I will save this; and share it with other eco - groups within our pages. Thanks, again!

If we think freely should we also speak freely?

Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2020:

It's a good question; basically you're asking what social limits should there be on free speech. I concur with most social morés...free speech should not include profane speech, nor hate speech. ...and the old saying "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" is very applicable, here. Using wisdom to speak, along with some degree of "restraint' allows more people to listen...and encourages more to agree with you. Here's two memes that pretty much sum up my POV.

That's like asking "do you believe in rulers or tape measures"?

Google "changes to glaciers over time images" to see "proof. It's a fact. It's causes are facts. The future effects are, of course, subject to "belief"...but the evidence and direction is overwhelming. Here's one of the best videos to explain and outline "the facts" so you don't have to ask that question again - unless you're paid well to ignore the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM=IwAR3ttXRoZE4TH2OI4VDw1qediNVGMWH9IU1wecWO3GMKYVCrtyGfgDLpMEw And I'll share some basic "fact" charts that will help you see more "proof" - that global warming is not like "religion"....you can't "believe" or not believe in measurements.

My two go-to spices/ingredients for any soup is garlic and pepper. If you like a flair for Eastern "Indian" style...explore the curries. Easy on the salt; let each salt to his/her taste. Oil or butter? Sesame oil? There's some great "flavored" oils out there. That's another choice you can make that will render a soup's unique flavor. if you like a "meaty" taste but don't want to add meat; there's always "bullion cubes" that can impart a chicken, beef, or even lamb flavoring to a vegan/vegetable soup.

Beautiful...the ribbons distract from her gorgeous physique!

Such a powerful effect - I don't know if I should post it here or in Religious Naturalism or ...

Enchanting? Well...amazing in it's clarity and color, for sure! I did some research; Dartmoor is about as far south and west as you can go in England; so they have a lot of misty, moss-covered parks and woodlands - mainly thanks to being exposed to the warm waters of Gulf Stream! Folks often declare such unusual growth as "enchanting" or "spiritual" or "haunting" - but we agnostics don't see it that way. it's just beautiful, old growth, carefully photographed. No need to get #religulous on us!

We finally have snow in Hawaii.. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea...

I thought those two lofty mountains often had snow on them. I did read (you made me look!) that last February set some records for Hawaiian snowfall at record LOW altitudes, though; https://kutv.com/news/nation-world/video-snow-falls-at-lowest-elevation-ever-in-hawaii

Fairly nice figure; but the color image is blotchy? This woman looks more like a girl to me....sorry...

These little guys have tripled in size since I got them a month ago.
