Hares and skylarks are among the most commonly seen large wildlife on UK solar farms, according to the biggest survey of the sector so far.
Microplastics can take anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years to break down and, in the meantime, our planet and bodies are becoming more polluted with these materials every day.

If you’ve ever enjoyed coffee, tomatoes, corn, bananas, mangoes, walnuts, chocolate, tequila or mezcal, you may just owe bats a thank-you.
Trees and bushes planted near highways do more than improve the scenery. A new Georgia State University study finds they significantly reduce air pollution caused by motor vehicles, which has been linked to a host of illnesses

A Swiss air quality monitoring firm on Tuesday said its latest worldwide data reveals the need for more walkable cities and a swift transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels, as just 7 out of 134 countries were found to meet global standards for dangerous air pollution.
Although the humble sea cucumber may not look like much, it could soon be recruited to help save the world's coral reefs.
It started with a tip from the local First Nation of a "bump on the sea floor" where the fish liked to be and led to the discovery of Canada's only known live coral reef.

@memfree As far as I understand it, ocean eels are less of a problem, but freshwater eels are in increasingly short supply. Either way, I like this as an alternative.
There's some pretty big TVs on the market these days, and even projectors are a LOT cheaper than they used to be. It's really not that expensive to put together a decent home setup, and it's only getting cheaper every year.
There was also the series Total Recall 2070, but that was more of a mashup of Total Recall and Blade Runner.
Jack Black's first theatrical film was Bob Roberts in 1992. He was in a tv movie called Our Shining Moment in 1991. TV series debut was in The Fall Guy in 1984. First commercial was for Pitfall on Atari 2600 in 1982.
Most of that decade doesn't include the actors though. Zoe Saldana was in both Avatars and still had time to do several Marvel movies in between.
Better Off Ted
If I could also not have played Half Life, I'd like a do-over of Black Mesa. Don't get me wrong, HL is still brilliant, but the Xen section of BM is just chef's kiss
If you're on desktop, you can mouseover on the username. Give it a couple seconds for the popup to appear, the hit the block button to the right of the Follow button.
Saber tooth tiger is the only thing on that list that actually makes sense thematically. Possibly one of the later Terror Birds would work as a theme though...
Make it all quotes from the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket.
@lunar_parking If you're using a Chromium browser, you can install an extension called Stylus. Then go to userstyles.org and search for kbin. There are several css styles there that reskin the site in interesting ways.
Do you mean the boost? It's like a retweet. It's mostly for cross site functionality with Mastodon.
@akaxaka But that takes you to a feed of all the mags you're subscribed to. What I'm looking for is a menu that allows you to jump straight to a specific magazine.
@V699 kbin comes from carabin(sp?) which is the Polish word for carbine (a type of gun)
What happened to the Kruger Millions? My cousin used to live near the Blyde River Canyon, and he would always have a story about a new group of treasure hunters who were sure they had figured it out. Obviously, no one ever did. And then a couple years ago, some coins from the era turned up in a Swiss bank vault. So did someone find the treasure? Was it ever actually buried in South Africa at all? WHO KNOWS!
Youtube is using Shorts to try to compete with TikTok in shortform video.
Are they completely defederated from the entire fediverse or just from each other?
I'm very happy with this comment. It has helped me immensely.
