Morning Glory is one of the best flower names, but I really have no idea what it means. Snapdragon is another cool one.

Do you ever think about how much CO2 could be building up indoors and how that could be impairing your thinking? Well, if not, maybe you should!

 No.2160

When I saw this video about half a year ago it made me start to open by window at the end of the day when it's not a billion degrees outside, but I really can't do much during the day if I don't want to suffer.
I have some plants in my room so maybe that helps a little bit, but I'd like to have more, just because they're relaxing and not specifically for this (but it'd be a nice bonus).
I wonder if anyone has ever ranked plants on the conversion rate, could be useful.

Something everyone should experience is to be in at least a semi-wooded area and to sit outside during a windy rainfall and feel refreshed from the soothing atmosphere. You don't need many trees, just enough for a good amount of rustling sound.
I wonder why it is that things like rain has such healing properties to the mind when it can be quite dangerous to us health-wise if we didn't have shelter.

If we go to Mars, what people forget is that mars has very little in the way of nutrients in the soil or even nitrogen in the air. Almost every nutrient we need will have to come from earth in some way, even the nutrients that go into the plants that we grow there. What does this mean? It means that everything is going to have to be reused, everything. We can't afford to let bodies be put into the ground and waste 70kg of nutrients that we brought up from earth, humans will have to be eaten or else the colony won't be able to sustain itself. Everything has to be part of a sustainable cycle of nutrition.

That graphic seems to be saying that US rice(and therefore I would assume rice products) are not regulated well enough for consumption by children.

My rice comes from Asia, but rice snacks, perhaps. Still, there's a risk-reward analysis with food production. Certain methods are less than healthy for a person living to the age of 70, but can lower food prices meaning more of the population doesn't go malnourished(a potential case which could make populations less productive or even live less than the age of metal pollution in the body).
I think it's correct though, that the FDA doesn't treat rice with the same standards it does grain. And the FDA acknowledges that there's some problems which need addressing.

Reducing inorganic arsenic exposure by either reducing consumption of rice and rice products or
limiting the level of inorganic arsenic in rice grain and rice products would decrease lifetime
cancer risk, as follows:
• In the general population, limiting levels of inorganic arsenic to 200 ppb or higher would
not change the cancer risk significantly. Setting a limit below 200 ppb of inorganic arsenic
in rice and rice products would decrease the risk. Setting a limit of 150 ppb of inorganic
arsenic in rice and rice products would decrease the risk between 0% and 23%. The risk
reduction is between 2% and 47% at a limit of 100 ppb of inorganic arsenic in rice and rice
products. Finally setting a limit at 75 ppb of inorganic arsenic in rice and rice products

It's not really a regulation issue, it's just that arsenic is naturally present in the water/soil in much of the US and rice tends to uptake metals more efficiently than most other common grains. There's no economically feasible way to prevent the metals from getting in the rice.

But yeah, I wouldn't eat southwestern US grown rice every day. The California rice should be fine. And white rice has less metals, although that includes good metals like zinc too.

And like you said, it's all relative risk. There is no known safe consumption rate of arsenic, but we usually consider a 1:100,000 or 1:1,000,000 cancer risk as the
"acceptable" amount, depending on the regulatory agency.

The ones in Japan seem to sound slightly less annoying, but jesus christ there's at least one outside in a tree that will keep going for like 20 minutes at a time. So. Annoying.

There was some bug outside my window this morning that was very loud. It sounded like a noisy hard drive. Eventually after an hour of ruined sleep I ran around outside to try and find the annoying little bugger to make them stop. After a dozen or so minutes I swatted at some bush and they finally stopped. Annoying~

i noticed they were very loud this morning too but they are not merely confined to a bush around here. i imagine they're living on almost every tree for miles.

 No.2044

I don't hear them around here as much as I did a few months ago, likely a combination of drought and these guys >>1854
I really can't complain. The Japanese ones seem more melodic than these guys that are closer to just screeching.

This is crazy. The speed and reaction times necessary must require insane amounts of training. The amount of adrenaline the guy must be feeling would be incredible; you can hear him almost hyperventilating the whole time. I'd honestly have a heart attack if I was in the same position, assuming I didn't gravely injure myself by running into a tree or something.
