Yeah, unfortunately in this case the foxes can just walk over from the mainland when the tide is low

Foxes are not native to that (uninhabited) island, nor are they native to Australia, which is where they crossed over to the island from. Foxes were brought to Australia in the 1870s by humans so we could hunt them recreationally, and now they are an invasive species. We can’t undo that mistake now.

Atoms in a stable state are very strong and it would take incredible amounts of energy to pull them apart

You weren’t an asshole

And I do agree with that, fast fashion is a big plastic pollutiony problem. Not to mention the carbon to ship garbage across the world. But when charities say “hey donate your clothes please we are going to help needy people :)” I feel they are obligated to make that donation something beneficial. I mean they are literally asking for this stuff, they have no reason not to be prepared to deal with it properly. The landfill may well be a better option, but there are also some clothes recyclers that shred it up into fiber for things

To me it seems like this is something that should be stopped at the level of the charities accepting these clothes for donation. If the people they are donating them to, do not want them, or too much trash is being shipped with good clothes, that should be sorted out by the companies facilitating this supposed gift. I didn’t see much about these organizations in the article, or their response, but they are clearly the ones in the best position and with the responsibility to address this?

Yeah from my brief reading it seems they can adapt to food salinity by altering their urine concentrations so I don’t think that’s a huge factor, at least it’s not something that comes into play before the other factors begin to harm them. But if you could fix their skin and buoyancy, diet may start to matter. But their prey is also a different salinity than the water it lives in a lot of the time, and sometimes they eat land animals like birds and such ofc.

There is still a bit of the Finless Porpoise left there, but not dolphins specifically no.

There are types of freshwater river dolphins in the Yangtze (well, one of these species probably is extinct there as of recently but still) and the Amazon, for example. Sea dolphins can survive in freshwater for awhile but their skin isn’t adapted to it, and it will get damaged eventually. That and the difference in buoyancy in sea water vs freshwater leads to the sea dolphins eventually getting exhausted in freshwater.

Making it at home would have the same issues as tap water, sterile saline is probably autoclaved to sterilize it. But it is trivial to buy and even from the hospital supply I highly doubt it would be noticed if you wrote that you used an extra 10mL here and there.

In Canada they never expire unless the store goes out of business. There’s a few exceptions for things that are services rather than freely spent balance but yeah, to me it seems unfair that they would be able to just absorb that money.

Just submit your deer for testing and if it comes back clean you can safely eat it, easy.

They weighed in months ago back when it was announced and said they were taking a wait and see approach, where if it did cause problems they would defederate, but didn’t want to preemptively do so. Many other instances did defederate already though.

Probably the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at Standing Rock reserve?

Or guardian animals. And predation insurance /compensation for your livestock.

What was it? This list really piques my curiosity but I know it’s better not to look….

I think one factor is probably “advances” in food science. Look how many ingredients go into an average fast food bun, for example… we have so many hyper-processed foods made with not just hella preservatives, but instead of wheat flour and butter it’s like wheat and corn starch, gluten, various vegetable proteins and several different oils, etc all recombined in a rather industrial way. It’s cheaper, and it’s sometimes specifically engineered to appeal to our palates, but it’s been taken too far imo. This is not just an issue in fast food by any means.

It would be cool to be able to just combine the content at the user level. You could have all the gaming communities you like under a custom gaming label, with a filter that checks for duplicate titles or links (wouldn’t be perfect but decent) and imports in the comments from duplicate threads (with some subheadings or something to distinguish their origin)

Lol I saw that yesterday on a google search and literally thought it must be some kind of custom lemmy instance that mocked the UI and URL, too funny
