Oh he definitely has both. He seems to mostly use the sun to keep time, so when its getting lighter later he actually nags me for breakfast later. But then the time change comes and he informs me my concept of time is arbitrary and violence is coming

I often browse behind aggressive anti-tracking and VPN and am constantly harangued by captchas and other bot challenges now, because these AI scraper shenanigans have poisoned the well of the open web

Lunule and umbo are both going on the list of words I have to remember to use to annoy people when playing Scrabble :)

Lunule means little moon. The lunule is another region on the rear of the shell, opposite from the escutcheon. It is pretty important for taxonomic ID of many bivalves, but it's not well understood what its function is! (316)

Very important

An escutcheon is a shield on which a coat of arms is displayed. For a clam, the escutcheon is the often recessed area around the shell ligament (the tendon-like hinge). We're getting deep into clam jargon in this thread, feel free to use at your next party to impress your friends (315)

In the 1800s, oyster poaching in SF and Chesapeake Bays was big business, calling themselves "oyster pirates". They didn't like being told to apply for permits and fought a century of "Oyster Wars" against regulators, basically until oysters were extirpated (314) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_...
