weekly college rant for 7-11/04

yayyy so im finally on easter break, and its the last term break i have until i finish college for good on the 16th of May. super excited. i dont have many plans for the coming week, however, as typical applied science would have it, i have 3 assignments to work on before i go back to college, which sucks balls, to put it frankly. oh well. at least i only have a month left.

highs

I hung out with my best friend for the first time in ages again and we got crystals the colour of each others eyes, so that's pretty cool. I also thrifted a cute pair oof cargo shorts yesterday

its been sunny all week, which is actually hugely motivating me to do some work so I can enjoy my last summer as a child quicker and for longer

I handed all my assignments in on time!! (this actually isn't that huge of a flex considering there was only one, but let me have this, okay?)

I've been using my phone significantly less this week yippee

lows

I'm lowkey anxious that I'm gonna fall behind on coursework once we go back, and if I fall behind that means I have to stay in college for a little longer until I have no ,ore outstanding assignments. that sucks balls because I just know I'm gonna be under so much pressure

I haven't done any leisure reading at all this week, mostly because I wanted to focus on my coursework but also because I just didn't have the motivation

so yeah, pretty solid week. cant wait to be done with this course

This is a really really good video about developing photos on plant leaves. It turns out it's reasonably easy and safe which is cool

The Enduring Power of a Reread

Daily writing promptWhat book could you read over and over again?View all responses As a devoted reader, choosing a single book to revisit repeatedly feels like picking a favourite child (hypothetical, of course!). My shelves groan with books I hold dear and each year, I expressly choose to carve out time to delve back into some of them. Photo by Emre Can Acer on Pexels.com This isn’t just…

"There was an exchange on Twitter a while back where someone said, ‘What is artificial intelligence?' And someone else said, 'A poor choice of words in 1954'," he says. "And, you know, they’re right. I think that if we had chosen a different phrase for it, back in the '50s, we might have avoided a lot of the confusion that we're having now." So if he had to invent a term, what would it be? His answer is instant: applied statistics. "It's genuinely amazing that...these sorts of things can be extracted from a statistical analysis of a large body of text," he says. But, in his view, that doesn't make the tools intelligent. Applied statistics is a far more precise descriptor, "but no one wants to use that term, because it's not as sexy".

I put it to you that Scaphiophryne marmorata is peak frog.

Why?

Well first, it's pretty round, which is key.

Now get a load of those fingers.

Big, expanded discs at the end, ideal for climbing.

But what's happening back there with those toes? No discs there. Those are good for walking and hopping around on the ground.

Now, let's gently turn them over

First, excellent tum, 17 out of 10, no notes.

But what's that at the base of the foot? Those big projections? Yep, those are spades. This climbing, hopping frog is an excellent digger!

I like to think of these Scaphiophryne as all-terrain frogs. They're basically good at everything. They defy our categorical labels of 'arboreal', 'terrestrial', or 'fossorial', and say 'por qué no los tres?'—but in Malagasy, so 'nahoana no tsy izy telo?'

The Uplifting Wisdom of Fred Smith

I recently enjoyed the privilege of participating in a small group online discussion with Frederick W, Smith, the founder and longtime CEO of Federal Express. Imagine being at the helm of a global disruptor like FedEx for an uncanny five decades. Think someone like that might have a few things to say about the life and times of business, society, and learning? You might be as surprised as I was…

Hey plant man, I like your plant posts. Should give us a lil plant post to rotate in our brains if you have some time. Take this as permission to sling spaghetti at the wall for whatever Plant Stuff has been in ur head

(I also feel like i should tell you that I cannot for the life of me remember when I started following this blog but going through your lichen posts had me telling all my direct family members how much lichen now baffles me, so thank u for reminding me that Science Does Not Know All)

for years i've strongly envisioned a plant museum exhibit i would make if i ever became the guy who got to do that. imagine the biggest wall in the exhibit dedicated to showing how lepidodentrons became modern plants (and it would be utilized for that instead of some crowd pleaser dinosaur because of isoetes favoritism for me only, i would insist the space be used like that instead of something more cohesive. I would take the public and say LOOK AT IT). it starts at the left side with a life-sized lepidodendron silhouette and shows species getting smaller and smaller along the wall until the far right, where there's an aquairium with isoetes collected from the closest healthy isoetes population, preferably in the same area so people can be like 'whoa so close to us'.

version two of this exhibit would be to just have a tank of local isoetes beside a life-sized lepidodendron silhouette or replica so you could compare the sizes more directly. version three of this exhibit would be to put a tank of isoetes at that place in scotland that has the grove of fossilized lepidodendron stumps still upright in place from when their grove got flooded for the last time.

any of these would have merch in the gift shop too by the way.

The existence of Ratio's vertical pupils indicate that his species evolved as potentially apex ambush predators, while Aventurine's more diamond-shaped pupils suggest Avgins occupied a middle rung of the Sigonian food chain, with divided need to both track prey and maintain wide-angle vision to identify predatory threats.
