TROPHY CASE

Led a school trip to Madagascar, found these. by Talltomin pics

[–]silentflight 1 point2 points ago

I posted this very same comment elsewhere in the thread, but I'm impatient and really curious - so I went looking for the biologists in the thread.

This comment is going to be full of assumptions. Lets see how far off base I am, but I want to include my train of thought. I've heard that insects with such bold colors have evolved in such a way because it makes them appear poisonous to possible predators. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world insects seem to be more concerned with camouflaging themselves from predators. Is there a reason for this?

TL;DR: Why are there green crickets in US, pastel-colored crickets in Madagascar?

So the United States can engage in production share agreements in Iraq now? Or since the law has not passed, it cannot?

Can you recommend a decent baijiu I can find online?

Caved. I officially suck. Need a reset :( by Subs2in stopsmoking

This is great advice, people tend to punish themselves for failing. Follow tilac's example and be proud of those 20-80-200 cigarettes you have not smoked.

Avoid friends and alcohol? by austincarnivorein stopsmoking

[–]silentflight 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if anyone can answer this one for you OP. I smoked throughout college - my roommates and friends all smoked. I quit within a year of graduating after my second concerted effort to stop smoking.

If you only smoke when you go out with your friends and no where else, you can either make an effort to not smoke when going out, or not go out quite as much. Being around people that smoke, when you're trying to quit, is really hard.

17 years of smoking, Stops today. by PauseBackin stopsmoking

[–]silentflight 2 points3 points ago

I'm sure your family will do everything they can to support you and will be relieved their dad/mom has quit smoking. As someone with a father that has smoked and chewed every since I was born, it is something that is in the back of my mind a lot - when is all this nicotine abuse gonna catch up to him?

Drink water and exercise! by Cobrakitnuin stopsmoking

[–]silentflight 1 point2 points ago

Keep drinking that water - its amazing what being well hydrated feels like after actively dehydrating yourself while smoking. Stay motivated and enjoy the benefits of better health!

Time for throwaways: Ex-convicts of Reddit, what did you do to end up in prison/jail, and do you regret it? (Possible NSFW) by Bret16in AskReddit

Does anyone else find it strange that the recurring "worst part of committing a crime" is not being able to find work afterwards? Something is wrong with this picture.
