They are really small and not easy to see if they are on their own but I did see it from the boat. It almost looked like a piece of rubbish at first. Just a little clear tube with a red dot. I guess there are different species of salp and I don’t know which one I saw. Apparently their numbers play a role in climate change. They filter carbon from the ocean and prevent it entering the atmosphere.
I saw a salp yesterday. Not a chain of them, just a single one. I’d never seen one before…or maybe never noticed them. Either way it was cool to see.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them?
20·2 months agoI think on the original offending post, OP made some somewhat inflammatory comments about ADHD and Autism further down. I imagine the downvoter felt personally hurt by these comments, hence the temporary spree, driven mostly by emotion. I don’t agree with the vote manipulation but not knowing their full story I would caution against people coming across this and retaliating against this person. It seems like it was just a short response and hopefully they have had a chance to cool off now.
I’m surprised how far down I had to scroll to find this as an answer!
Yeah I’ve read accounts of it and I’m definitely a bit nervous! It’ll be an experience to remember for sure! Just up and down the East coast on my boat. I sailed to Bermuda on a different boat. That was a really cool place! Anchored beside the Statue of Liberty in my boat, which is something I never thought I would do!

3·3 months agoFair enough. Each to their own I guess.
I guess it depends on what you care about. The time frames aren’t just arbitrary numbers that the manufacturers whacked on their packaging. Actives like hyalauronic acid and vitamin C break down over time. So your products could not really be doing what you are hoping for anymore. Additionally microbe introduction can lead to infection and you won’t necessarily be able to tell by looking at it.
If you have heard of Labmuffin’s Dr. Michelle Wong you will probably know that she is a great resource for science based information on skincare and beauty. Here is an interview with her about it.
Straight moisturisers are not something I will even pay attention to because I get through them so fast anyway. SPF is something I’ve always paid attention to the expiry dates for. I don’t want to mess with my eyes so I’m definitely going to be paying attention to those dates a bit more-application method will likely affect that.
The idea behind this PSA was for people like me who didn’t know how long each product was meant to be good for and wanted to know. As I said, maybe most people already knew this. I like knowing it because I was stretching out products with actives far too long that I should’ve just used up quicker.
I like the top on smaller bottles and will likely try that method on future. Thanks.
Yep east coast USA again. Heading to the Bahamas. Given the boat a good shake down over the past year so goal is to go through the Panama Canal early next year and start working our way across the Pacific. Lots of planning involved!
Came here to randomly give Dave appreciation for running this instance but seems like somebody beat me to it. Nice! Stuck in the cold due to an autopilot failure a couple of days ago and waiting to get that sorted before heading to warmer weather. Having trouble finding good weather windows to head offshore though. I’m so ready for the beach!

WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•WomensStuff weekend positivity...who is a woman you're proud of?
1·4 months agoThe seastheday ladies who just rowed across the pacific, unassisted, non stop. It took them almost 6 months and there were only two of them doing 2 hours on, 2 hours off shifts. I don’t know them but I keep telling people about their amazing achievement!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?
151·4 months agoI agree. This is exactly why I don’t wear headphones a lot of the time. So I can listen to those exact noises.

4·6 months agoI tried the whole only rinsing in the morning thing and my aesthetician convinced me to start washing my face both am and pm again. She was right. This helped with clogging. I think the one a day isn’t for everyone.
The biggest thing for me personally has been water quality. Have you tried shower head filter and maybe a tap filter? I don’t know what water quality is like where you live but could be something to look into.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?
21·7 months agoSame. What has been really disappointing for me is that a lot of places where my only option used to be a black bean burger have now replaced that with an impossible or beyond burger. It’s great for people who are trying to cut back on meat consumption so I like that they exist but please stop replacing my black bean burgers!
Aww i miss my dumbo girl so much!

Try L&T (lemon and Te Aroha) if you haven’t already. It’s still uniquely kiwi and tastes great! It came out im the 1800s. Got discontinued for a few decades but is back and worth the switch.
