Not all flower visitors are equally helpful to the flower; separately tracking bees that buzz to release pollen and bees that steal pollen from flowers in a bunch of Chamaecrista species shows how tracking visitation alone would misrepresent the interactions

I just bought Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on Good Old Games for less than 3 bucks. I have never played it. It's 33 years old by now...

This awesome t-shirt caused me to rewatch the #DaftPunk anime saga. I thought there were only 4 music videos but there are in fact many more (not for any hit singles though). Another tiny easter egg is the short drummer's back story: He's supposed to be from my home town Munich! So of course he likes beer :)
Just finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.
WTF this straight to VHS B-movie I've just found on Amazon starts out pretty awesome:
1. narrator introduces a backstory that is blatantly ripped from Mad Max (1979)
2. this shot
