archiemcphee:



Grab a snorkel because today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds is taking us under the waters of the Pacific Ocean in Garden Eel Cove just off the coat of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. It was there last January that Keller Laros was participating in a Manta ray night dive when an amazingly astute bottlenose dolphin approached him and lingered long enough for Laros to notice that the animal was injured and asking for help.


The dolphin had a fishing hook stuck in his left pectoral fin attached to a length of fishing line that was tangled around the fin and even caught in his mouth. Fortunately Laros had a pair of scissors in his diving kit, so he quickly set about freeing the dolphin, who stayed remarkably still considering how uncomfortable the process must’ve been. Fellow diver Martina Wing filmed the extraordinary interaction. Once freed from the nasty hook and fishing line, the thankful dolphin swam away, disappearing into the darkness with a crazy tale to tell his friends.

No, but seriously, Creationists, Cosmos is about science, so your bullshit can go somewhere else where fairy tales are taught.



bwahahahaha! I think Tyson and the rest of the Cosmos team have done a fabulous job of debunking some of the common fundie arguments, last episode did a wonderful job of tackling Irreducible Complexity with the explanation of how the eye evolved, and when it gets into geology, I am looking forward to a thorough smackdown of a young earth.

After planning out the paludarium lately (more on that next post) I dug up pictures of my old 77g aquarium. It was a nice tank, we probably had it stocked too heavily, but… some lovely fish. the pride of the tank were the two angels, a mating pair, which I raised the fry from. (the male was especially stunning, even though he was just a common marble. the photos do not do him justice) After I went to the college, I left the tank with my parents, and then my sister and her husband took it, but then they dismantled it, and sold the fish. they say the angels went to a breeder, so that’s good. We made some mistakes with the tank, (mostly ovestocking and not quite compatible fish) and I hope to not repeat them with the paludarium.

"I’ve been using the same set of Steel Armour since level 5. I’m now level 45. Steel Armour is my favourite type of armour!"

why



Cus they think it looks cool, obviously. And with the appropriate heavy armor perks and enough smithing skill you can get Steel armor to (or at least very close to) the armor cap, so no reason not to use it.
