Giant isopods have been filmed swarming sharks to impede their movement and gill function when the local detritus is lacking nutrients.

Did you just assume my phyla?

Depends on the definition of bug. Entemological true bugs are a very specific class of insects, but the term bug was used to describe any arthropod for significantly longer than proper taxonomy has been around.

So if you're a biologist, no, if you're an anthropologist, yes.

Someone covered in brine shrimp would be more likely to feel covered in bugs than covered in marine crustaceans though.

The taxonomy puts us right about the same, splitting after phylum. That being said, a shrimp looks a hell of a lot more like a silverfish than I do like a carp.

Well, depending on my general state of health.

I was a medaled fencer years ago. I'm currently.picking it up again, and there is nothing quite like it. If there's a local class near you, pick it up. It's arguably the most fun combat sport there is.

That great room kinda rules. Maybe a fun rental, but living there I fell like I'd get sick of it pretty fast.

"Anyone who must venture outdoors for a period of time is strongly urged to cover exposed skin. "

Oh shit that's a good idea. I've been snowblowing in my flip flops this whole time.

A second hand drum kit will be more reliable than a second hand power washer, so you could get a washer with gift cards and then look for a good deal on a drum kit.

That being said, playing drums makes you more fun and interesting. Having a power washer makes you more likely to be asked to clean things.

Isn't it possible to use PayPal as a bank? I think you can order a debit card from them.

In most settings I would be inclined to agree, but in specific settings, like the community this was originally posted in, acceptance and comfort is the point.

You may have seen this from World, but it was posted on blahaj.

In this particular instance, it seems less like you were approached on the street and told to speak differently, and more like some people were having a meeting and you walked in and told them to stop making a scene.

I have no experience with it and can't claim to know, but the privacy advocate in me tells me it can use everything because it wants access to everything so it can datamine from every app at once.

Again, I don't know this specific app, but literally every other non Foss app is just a front for granted permissions.
