Perhaps "the butler did it" stems from real life, wherein correctly or not, the butler is an immediate suspect when someone who has hired help happens to be murdered in their home?
Surely the master/servant relationship fosters resentment/ill will.
Even if not, I'm sure they're a wonderful scapegoat for an inheritance seeking child or slighted spouse when they commit the murder.
Youtube has folks that dig way too deep into Elder scrolls lore and several use the format. Those work from "literally stated in the game" to "if you read these books in game in this mobile only title from 2001, look at questionably cannon dev comments, and look at the assets names, you'll find this reoccurring thread "
Creeping thyme is quite nice
Stays soft and low
Not as aggressive as mint though, so you might have to make space vs just letting the mint go
Of the rest of herbs I grow (basil, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, chives/winter onions, oregano) the oregano isn't too woody or tall. It gets a bit leggy, though it could just be fallen over and accepting of is new life. Also a lot oregano varieties to work with. Nice hot oregano
Unclear how it would directly complete with other plants.
Depending on the type, it may get about 2 to 3 feet tall and develop woody stems.
Our contained patch (pavement on 2 sides and the house foundation on the other 2) frequently gets overgrown/bushy by July.
Does get little white flowers and attracts all the bees.
But I'd dislike having a yard made of the stuff. Woody stem portions get pokey on bare feet, and I'm not sure it'd stay dense enough to keep the other tall plants down.
On the engineering side, the operators are the machine better than I ever will, so their input is critical.
Some are a bit reserved around salaried folks, as the koolaide drinkers up front tend to be strictly business and not show much loyalty to the operators.
Hearing them out on politics or whatever they want to talk about helps break down that hesitance to tell me what's really happening. I'm not going to narc on them to management about the shortcuts they're taking to circumvent a design flaw if it means they TELL me about the flaw, and we can try to resolve it.
It seems like everyone near me (Missouri) is a bit numb at this point. Like if you directly asked an opinion, sure, they'd say it's a terrible thing. Especially the elder veterans
But no one is really talking about it. I don't really watch much TV anymore, and this is my only social media; this is the ONLY place I've heard about it. I work as a manufacturing engineer and a good number of the operators tend to be right leaning.
I think a major factor is that even for these folk, the meddling in the middle east for decades has soured any of the initial "patriotism" behind it.
There's no "Fuck yeah, did you hear we blew up xyz? Check out this video!" Or "That airbase in Iran got bombed. They should just bomb the shit out of em back"
Seems like it's just another day now. Less distress/commentary than getting a flat tire the day before.
Does the thickness skin impact it's ability to feel pain?
It doesn't. Burn a slip of paper with a lighter. Now burn an orange. Notice how the the outer layer reacts to the fire?
Your nerve endings also exist in the outer most layer (your mouth vs your deeper flesh)
Are you a mammal? Congratulations, you have TRPV1 receptors in your mucus membranes (avian supremacy ftw). They exist to keep potato brain mammals from eating hot things. These will fuck up your insides. Apparently enough of a problem that mammals needed them. Fun fact: this is enough of a problem that ancestral peppers evolved a means to exploit it and exclude mammals.
But off topic. There's no quantity of flesh that will make your mouth heat proof. Turns out first degree burns still hurt like fuck.
While I do appreciate the information on better infographic creation, the example map has such a small range comparably. There's over 30 values, not to mention the shades in-between values. I think a two color gradient would end up being very smooth at this scale. Sorta looks to generally drop in temperature as you go east here, nice red to blue fade.
Expanding the color palette does give more room for distinction, but that's seemingly how they got where they did.
To be fair, from my friends who've actually had color theory and graphic design classes, STEM folks tend to do a poor job of communicating well.
So eh. Maybe it's pointless for me to argue against it.
So MAYBE, and I'm pulling this out of my ass with no background here, but expectation is temperature doesn't jump, but flows as a gradient.
Using France as the start, we've white fading to dark greys then reds, which is the hottest of the three white possibilities. As going hotter then that gets pink again, the top end is white in France. We then decrease down the scale until we get those. green pockets. Light green/white touching green would signify the lower of the three white temps.
Not a great map, but perhaps it's an understood practice with the field.
After all, how do you convert a quantitative scale into qualitative data.
You can't really just number everything (people have shit attention spans and they'll gloss over immediately. Anybody who's delivered technical data to management can attest to that lol)
Color works well for that, but has a limited useful spectrum.
Getting too specific in a single spectrum muddies the graphic (what's the exact color over Lisbon here? This kinda salmony guy? So 8? Or closer to 9?)
It does and doesn't.
The outer layer of the durian, yeah that's gone.
Dense biomass presents a unique scenario though.
Where steel is homogeneous, and conducts heat very well, cells are "hollow" and contain a lot of carbon.
Water vaporizes. Proteins vaporize. Carbon burns off.
Slightly deeper: water vaporizes. But there's no oxygen here. The burning biomass outside is consuming it and dumping carbon dioxide as it goes.
What happens when carbon heats without oxygen? It purifies. Down to pure carbon.
3,630C to melt it away.
What's more, it's not solid carbon. All that water and protein is long gone, but now it's empty space. Insulation.
It's impressive how much biomass blocks heat.
Time matters. Long enough, the outer layers start to burn away. Oxygen moves deeper, carbon burns, not melts. That layer burns off. Oxygen moves deeper.
You didn't need 3000C. But you need time and air flow.
If you're trying to see who between a mass of steel or an equal biomass gives up first, the steel will fail every time.
As the person below mentioned, they very much had access to copper. We find quite a lot of copper artworks. We find surprisingly few copper tools.
This makes sense. Pure copper kinda blows for tool making. Stone is harder and easier to get.
And the problem lies with the purity.
Other civilizations had to accidentally discover early metalworking and eventually stumbled upon bronze, being more durable than anything else at the time.
North America, up near the great lakes actually has fairly pure raw copper deposits on the surface.
A theory is that it led to the native people finding a "new" type of rock, but other than being distinct looking, it proved to be kinda useless.
Non-Plant based caffeine is a thing. You can chemically derive it in massive quantities, making it cheaper than extraction.
I've read that synthetic caffeine tends to be absorbed quicker than naturally extracted caffeine, and is supposedly why some brands bother using both: longevity. Fast upfront hit from the synthetic, then a later hit from the natural.
Not something I've ever truly looked into though. For the most part I just drink coffee, so it's never really been pertinent.

My dog loves to try to crush my balls This can still work
Some used to be that way.

"Well" describes an amount of time in this instance, though thats only implied. "Shortly" could be considered it's opposite here.

What do you define as the proper equipment? Can do it with pocket knife if you're dedicated.
Based on local sun/shade from other terrain, wind exposure, and changes in altitude across the levels?
Zooming in, there's people and stairs in that photo. Helps quite a bit with scale
