Just woke up from a nap after lunch. I dreamt our heroine was on the run from the galactic police for a discrepancy surrounding dubious business expense claims in her tax return and finds herself running a popular bar in a humanoid community amongst the gut flora and fauna of a giant space faring lizard fish thing amongst a school or flock of these things. I don't remember much else other than its title had to be `June Callwood Cheats On Her Taxes` for some reason.

"One-Third of Pacific Island Fish Contaminated With Microplastics"
#Microplastics #Plastic #Plastics #Fish
To avoid turning into midnight munchies, small fish, often no bigger than pocket change, employ a frequently observed and clever strategy:
swimming inside a salp, a type of barrel-shaped, gelatinous marine animal.
Though salps don’t conceal the hitchhikers, their thin membranes can be enough to thwart attackers.
The fish don’t seem to mind sharing their sanctuary with one another:
in this image, three diminutive jacks pack inside a salp the size of a spice jar.

Black shiny mollies and bright colored guppies,
Shy little angels as gentle as puppies,
Swimming and diving with scarcely a swish,
They were just some of my tropical fish.
Then I got mantas that sting in the water,
Deadly piranhas that itch for a slaughter,
Savage male betas that bite with a squish,
Now I have many less tropical fish.
If you think that
Fish are peaceful
That's an empty wish.
Just dump them together

Ghost in the friendly and interactive shell (fish):
I removed a `set -x VARNAME ...` line from my fish config.
Spawning a new shell still had that variable.
I ran `set -e VARNAME`. For the current shell, it's gone.
Spawning a new shell again, I got it back. What..?
Okay, so I closed _all the fish instances_.
And the damn env var came back *again*!?!
Looks like that's because it's my login shell.
A fresh login session no longer had it.

The ocean conservation world has lost a giant. Kristina Gjerde, known as the "mother of the high seas," spent two decades building the coalitions that led to the historic 2023 UN High Seas Treaty—protecting biodiversity in international waters for the first time.

This is amusing. I wonder if the free PlayStations, live fish, and Kosher wine were worth it.

"It is a sin to interfere with another community’s ability to fulfill its covenant with God. Hills cannot shout for joy if their tops have been sheared off by strip-mining. Fish cannot swarm seas boiled by an ozone-depleted atmosphere."
—Professor Gregory Mobley writing in the new issue of Reflections, in a piece titled "God’s Eco-Network of Covenants."
Several species of fish are claimed to produce hallucinogenic effects when consumed,
a condition known as ichthyoallyeinotoxism.
For example, Sarpa salpa, a species of sea bream referred to as the "dream-fish", is commonly claimed to be hallucinogenic.
These widely distributed coastal fish are normally found in the Mediterranean and around the Iberian Peninsula,
west to the Azores and along the west and south coasts of Africa.

He woke up, looking forward to finally fishing. He’s retired, even though he feels like he could keep doing the work, and now, finally, he has the chance to go out on his boat, with a beer and his rod to catch something. Maybe if he catches enough he can fill the whole freezer set up in the basement. Fresh frozen fish for months.

PSA about food labeling in the US
We have a gluten detection service dog because many things that should be gluten free/say they’re gluten free are not actually gluten free.
Stuff gets contaminated when growing (e.g. next to wheat field), by shared equipment, in factories, from packaging, during transport and in-store.
Every US consumer should know:
1. The list of ingredients on food isn't exhaustive
2. Allergen labeling:
a) limited to just some allergens
b) manufacturers don't actually have to test
c) "certified" foods are tested—but not continuously
d) testing only works with enough contamination
Some certifications may require batch-testing, but usually they don't.
A "certified gluten free" product may e.g. contain oats which sometimes are contaminated with gluten—but as not every batch is tested it's impossible to know unless you test yourself (hence the service dog).
Even if the product is properly batch-tested, you might get a part of the product that has the allergen in it, whereas the tested part didn't.
Or the threshold was too low (our dog can detect gluten better than any available lab testing equipment; yes, dogs are amazing).
Food products also contain ingredients that do not have to be included on the label when they're "incidental" (included in an another ingredient) or if they're considered part of the manufacturing process but not of the final product (e.g. various coatings on factory equipment).
Don't need to list flavors or specific spices either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for allergens, only those responsible for ~90% of food allergies* have to be specifically declared, and they're not tested for as it's simply based on the ingredients list.
Good luck if you have other allergies.
*milk, egg, egg, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans
Trout, trout, whitebait, eelpout,
These are the fish I am thinking about...
They would lounge naked in the sauna, swim in the river, eat wood-fired sausages or freshly caught fish and rest in the open air with a refreshing beverage, often of the alcoholic variety
Want to grow your own food sustainably? Aquaponics combines fish farming with plant growing in a brilliant closed-loop system—fish waste feeds the plants, plants clean the water.
Lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs thrive easily, while strawberries, peppers, and even carrots can flourish with the right setup. No chemical fertilizers needed.
Ad Astra, Leslie Fish.
