Looking up hermaphroditic tendencies in frogs, as one does, and I found this fascinating paper via Wikipedia:

The most interesting part to me is just speculation, but one idea for why females might change into males after laying some eggs is that although males enjoy more reproductive success overall, because they defend territories and attract females using vocal calls, they're potentially more vulnerable to predation by animals that hunt based on sound.
So basically, first ensure you have *some* offspring by being female and laying eggs, then once you've done that try to have *many* offspring by changing into a male, vocalizing to attract females, and fertilizing their eggs (unless the vocalizing gets you killed or other males out-compete you).
Sadly this is pure conjecture and the sex changes were only observed in the laboratory, not the wild.
23. Kauft Euch am besten kein Auto. Wenn Ihr einen insb. Gebrauchten kauft, dann NIEMALS ohne schriftlichen Kaufvertrag. Im Vertrag sollten alle Daten vom Verkäufer eingetragen sein. Lasst Euch den Perso zeigen. Der Verkäufer sollte mit der Person übereinstimmen, die das Kfz übergibt und die in den Papieren steht. Bezahlt NIEMALS den Kaufpreis, bevor Ihr nicht alle Papiere habt - Schein, Brief, Kaufvertrag. Verkauft Ihr ein Auto, dann auch immer nur mit Vertrag. #rechtstipp #anwalt #autokauf
Eins der wichtigsten Instrumente meiner pubertären Phase. 😂
Damit, einem Taschenrechner (oder war‘s grad sogar auf Papier?), einem Notizblock, der Periodentabelle mit dem Molekulargewicht, sowie einer sehr grosszügigen (😬) Drogistin bastelte Ursli selber Vulkane etc. 💥 🧨 🎆

Here are several screenshots of Siri interacting with OmniFocus on an iPhone:
1. Siri using Visual Intelligence to scan a hand-written list from a sheet of paper and add the remaining items to OmniFocus.
2. Siri reviewing the remaining tasks in OmniFocus that need to get done today, and suggesting some other high priority tasks to consider.
3. Siri adding some book club suggestions to the note on an OmniFocus task.
4. Siri marking complete the tasks that are currently selected in OmniFocus.
#today will be a bath, some admin, organising 3 separate meetings for next week, reading a paper, measuring mains water temperature, and preparing for Repair Café tomorrow. And the flood of #NewScientist articles needs reading. I am exhausted just listing that stuff and want to go back to bed already. Plus it was a #BigNightOut (someone's 30th) last night and I don't think that I slept much after I got back in the early hours!
