There’s nothing bad to see at that link, which is kind of the point. It’s a BBC article that contains two photos of the suspect food in question, which is 10 years old (at the time of writing in 2019) and looking a bit, well, deflated instead of being completely decomposed.
Article ends with:
There was no independent verification of the surgeon’s claims.
The internet tells me that “plant growth requirements” are air, water, nutrients, space, and light.
Let’s imagine. The growing plant was found in a lung. It must have:
Air. Plants ingest carbon dioxide, exude oxygen. Both gasses are present in our own respiration. So that checks out.
Water. I guess water was leeched from the lungs’ blood supply, since we’re all just bags of mostly water.
Nutrients. See water, above. If the mamallian reproduction system can supply a growing embryo with required nutrients, why not those required by a fir sapling? Sure, they’re different requirements, but press on.
Space. Assuming that no other competing species of plant is growing in the lung, this isn’t a problematic issue.
Light. Ah, well. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, and I am reminded of a joke attributed to Groucho Marx, Abraham Lincoln, Nicola Tesla, and Albert Einstein:
Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read, or to cultivate horticulture.
I am as dubious of this fir sapling story as my quoted joke’s provenance.
Garbage ad-laden filler puff-piece.
I also have heard Squirrel, the first time I ever heard of SQL. It was in a webinar info session for just a very superficial top-level type of understanding, really intended for nothing more than to acquaint first-tier support staff with technical terms and concepts. “SQL stands for Structured Query Language. For short, we can call it ‘sequel’ or ‘squirrel’.” (Cue stupid clip-art graphic of a buck-toothed smiling squirrel on a tree branch, holding an acorn, because what’s a webinar without insipid mnemonics?) That sort of thing.
I grokked the use of ‘sequel’, because the letter sequence S-Q-L is exactly that word, sans vowels, and even if schwas are substituted for the vowels, the pronunciation doesn’t change much.
But for ‘squirrel’ I had to imagine that they were taking the R from ‘queRy’ and injecting it to make SQL into SQrL for the sake of a cute memory device that would resonate with people who weren’t expected to have any interest or investment deeper than a front-line customer service drone.
Does that mean the update is/did not complete yet?
Reason I ask is Jerboa got updated to 0.0.35 on my phone sometime mid-day today, and, when I launched it, was presented with the warning:
Server version (0.17.4) is under the minimum supported version (0.18).
Please inform your administrator and login to another instance, or sign out and use the default instance.
I logged out of my Jerboa profile on lemmy.cafe, which (unbeknownst to me) deleted the profile outright, which I presume & hope is a Jerboa bug.
I can re-add the profile again, no big deal, but it can’t login to lemmy.cafe, for the same server version incompatibility error:
Server version (0.17.4) too low.
Gorgeous backlighting composition. It’s quite striking, congrats!
Do you plan to clip the blacks for more contrast?
That’s right.
I was just composing a top-level reply for @Flax_vert, but since your corrected answer is more concise, I’ll piggyback here to add:
- Remember to Save Settings at the bottom of the settings screen
AND
- I had to close and relaunch Jerboa for the saved Listing and Sort changes to take effect. Simply refreshing the home page didn’t do it.
End your line with 2 spaces, then Enter.
This results in a line return instead of an ignored Return.
