I'm still looking for a more natural way to describe the spirograph in this context... and it's time for this lesson soon enough so I'm reworking it again.

Let's say you want to draw a hypocycloid (spirograph) with a turtle. -

Over 250 people quarantined in South Carolina as measles outbreak ragesA lot of the people who got it and didn't die will think that they have "gotten immunity the natural way" ...
we're all gonna die

Over 250 people quarantined in South Carolina as measles outbreak ragesConsidering that even in this area with lower rates *most* people are vaccinated, 90+ percent... this is even more wild.

Over 250 people quarantined in South Carolina as measles outbreak rages@arstechnica
"Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated."Hm.
what could it mean.

"Crabs Home Store" is an interesting small business out of Jiangsu China that sells internationally over aliexpress.Pinning is about having a sample of a species so you can compare new bugs against it and put it under a microscope and stuff.
Pinned insects often look very sad. Their eye look dead because the fluid in them is gone (but the facets remain)
I guess that's why the crabs are kind of fascinating. It's like if pinning could preserve what an ant really looked like when alive.

@apLundellOK it looks exactly like the dried ants people sell to eat for some reason that I know about because ... well I have looked for every ant thing that exists.

"Crabs Home Store" is an interesting small business out of Jiangsu China that sells internationally over aliexpress.You might think but look at this:
The sheen on the shell, the color, those aren't just natural to a dead crab shell.
And most important the life like eyes, which are made of resin to mimic what the living crab/lobster would look like.
This is an artform.
It's subtle, but amazing.

@apLundellIt's not an ant and I almost don't want to admit that I have this one speed dial in my bookmarks... yet... who else would keep track of such things.
(I am curious what "ethically sourced wasp" means. )

@bri_sevenYeah. Poor babies. Even if it's kind of a fascinating study.

Woman with classic symptoms of Wernicke's Aphasia.I really wish the notion that someone having trouble "is on drugs" wasn't such a common assumption OR an excuse to just totally dismiss their distress and treat them badly.
Because even when it is "drugs" that's no excuse for failing to really see or help a person who is having a health crisis.

"Crabs Home Store" is an interesting small business out of Jiangsu China that sells internationally over aliexpress.I was just not aware of the concept of crab taxidermy. But it seems like it's a fairly developed art. A little creepy for my tastes, but I can see the appeal.

"Crabs Home Store" is an interesting small business out of Jiangsu China that sells internationally over aliexpress.The current problem is I can't tell when someone is using machine translation sometimes... so I always just ask (and of course I send my messages in both languages and the Chinese clearly labeled as "machine translated" )
Which can make some people who know English annoyed... but I need to know. A person can send you this very clear-sounding text but it's not saying what they think.
