  • I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They’ll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.

    Plots are typical composed, and when writing a paper (I insert them mostly into TeX publications) I do find the quality of the resulting plot is just so much more refined.

    Seaborn is indeed closer and was definitely inspired by ggplot2 in some areas, but IMHO, it’s still not 100% there visually. I’m very much a Python user and would love it to be, but when I’m, let’s say, publishing a book, I’d always go back to ggplot2 - when preparing a paper for a lab class, seaborn is probably fine.

    honey bees are bad for pollinators

    Hm? What do you mean?

    From this paper:

    A. mellifera appears to be the most important, single species of pollinator across the natural systems studied, owing to its wide distribution, generalist foraging behaviour and competence as a pollinator.

    This is a genuine question btw.

    Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.

    While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.

    I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.

    I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.
