In their recent study Hoyonoski, Dohn & co show that some #leeches avoid annoying stimuli instead of just ignoring them.

I think it's for oils or potions.

Landlord threatening to evict me because I lost my temper after being without a doorbell and intercom for 3 years (Since before the COVID outbreak.) Also was without central heating from the 1st week of December until last week of January because the 1993 boiler gave up. Tried to spin it I should be grateful for the replacement. I've been monthly paying him for 12 years without fail, I expect an apartment in perfect working order. Somehow I'm being unreasonable? #Leeches the lot of them.

A great piece on #bitcoin power #leeches. Exacerbating #climatechange and a boon for fossil fuels 🤮 . Two choice facts:

"In Texas, where 10 of the 34 mines are connected to the state’s grid, the increased demand has caused electric bills for power customers to rise nearly 5 percent, or $1.8 billion per year"

"The additional power use across the country also causes as much carbon pollution as adding 3.5 million gas-powered cars to America’s roads"

"It is believed that ancient aboriginal tribes used maggots to treat the wounded and some academics argue that the practice “dates back to the beginnings of civilisation”. ... In an age of growing #AntibioticResistance, maggots are an alternative to modern medicine, as they help to fight infection by consuming dead tissue and bacteria."

Also, someone in #Maine won a #billion #fucking #dollars in the #lottery and if we share #DNA, I’m gonna be one of those #leeches sliding into your DMs.

Fair warning.

I wasn't expecting this from Wales. 🙂

"In the rural village of Hendy in south Wales, Biopharm Leeches, Britain’s only such production company, supplies up to 70% of leeches used in health care worldwide. It keeps them in tanks of water and feeds them on black pudding of sheep’s blood in sausage skin."

#BandOfTheMonth March 2021

#Sørgelig 1/x

One of the best modern #dsbm bands out there and of the modern #greek #metal scene.

I've seen them often being compared to #Silencer due to similarities in some of the vocals but personally I think Sørgelig transcend Silencer in terms of vocals.

Musically they also have a more aggressive and rocking style mixed with dsbm in addition to the typical drawn out songs.
