I'm happy to hear that! It is not so easy to rescue weakened wild animals, so you must have done a very good job in getting the conditions right 👍

Jajaja, sí, soy Mexicano 😁

From the title I thought that the UV opsin itself was also performing the pressure sensing function... Which would be fascinating to me, as I have worked with viscosity and pressure-sensitive fluorophores in the past (BODIPYs and DCDHF), and I would love to see living things making use of this molecular sensor design.

But I now see that it is a different molecular sensor that is also present in the UV sensing cell:

Our results indicate that the ciliary opsin required for detecting UV light is not essential for pressure sensation.

So, today is not the day we find pressure-sensitive fluorescent sensors in a living organism, but that is still a fascinating finding. I will have to read more about those "TRP channels", the "ultimate integrators of sensory stimuli". They seem like a very interesting class of bio molecules that I still know too little about 😁

Really nice work, thanks a lot for sharing it here!!

The error I see is a "bad image format" response from the PlantNet API. I zoomed in, took a screenshot, and re-uploaded it to imgur and it worked.

From the FAQ: " The ideal image size is 800 pixels for the small side, or otherwise 1280 pixels for the large side. "

This image is 259x194, so I think that is why it is rejected.

I used to it eat a lot of it as a child. But now that I think more about nutrition it is a rare treat for me. I don't buy it nor keep any at my home, because if I buy it I'll eat it. If I go out and eat fries I'll usually eat them with mayonnaise. I do like the taste, especially in egg sandwiches.

I am not sure as I did not test this one. Maybe you can go in person and get a worker to get you access to the kiosk through your account to print the card. It is one of those massive chains with gyms in every corner. I think that by now they rely on their digital infrastructure and many of their workers are not trained to handle uncommon situations. At least I get that from some of my experiences, but I could be wrong, maybe if I would have called them could have helped me with this. It was just easier to get the app into my old phone, print a card, delete the app.

I will also pay close attention and see if I can catch that happening.

Thanks :D

I have some herb butter I made with it in the fridge now!

Mmmmm, sounds delicious!

Cool! I'll read about it.

Tilia tea I've tried, but I think I used Tilia americana. I remember that that tee might possibly help to sleep.

The Alliaria petiolata I do see a lot around where I live! There is also a park nearby that has carpets of Allium ursinum, which also taste like garlic. I really like them.

Achillea millefolium is suuuuper common now and easy to find. Such a great list! Thanks again :D

Betula leaves? As in, birch trees?! Their leaves can be used for tea?!

Thanks a lot for sharing all of this info! Wildplukken looks awesome, I've just placed an order :D

Ah, actually, I responded thinking that you meant the /c/mycology community.

I'm not the creator/mod of the uncle_ben's community, and the sidebar says "A community for the uncle ben’s mushroom growing technique.", so I am actually not sure. I think it would be fine.... Sorry!
