Maybe based on annual landings and frequency of observance. That seems to be the case in the BBC article: “with the average catch in Cornwall of roughly half a million individual lobsters landed each year, we should only see one blue lobster every two years”

What if quotes were also auto-pasted as a reply so could be read out in a thread. Would that work? 🤔

This used to be an absolute plague in Brussels. Until the council said the companies were responsible for it and they'd start fining them. And then - as if by magic - the problem got solved, pdq.

Lucinid bivalves are chemosymbiotic, partnering with microbes which oxidize sulfide and give them food. How do they breathe in such a sulfide-rich environment? In their burrows, one end leads up to oxygen, while another set of branching burrows lead downward, mining sulfide (203)

Wow- I can’t imagine a world where you get notifications every time a new message comes in. I don’t know if I’ve ever had that turned on (def not for email) and assumed most people didn’t. Do you think it’s more common than not to operate that way? Genuinely worried about my staff now…

I think it’s a lack of awareness of external perception beyond one’s own discipline. I’ve noticed huge discrepancies in how people describe their at area of work between even different sub-disciplines.

When I got back from holiday recently, colleagues asked; “are you someone who tries to keep on top of emails when you’re away?”
