It would be amazing if this research also led to a treatment for the rare symptom of temperature reversal caused by ciguatera fish poisoning (ciguatoxin neurotoxins) overstimulating one's nerves. I am not personally afflicted but have friends who have been; one is still dealing with various symptoms many years later.
We have "Red Gate in the Rain" by Kasamatsu Shiro [1] hanging in our home. I uploaded a photo of it and had a great time browsing other works by Shiro.
My wife also noted that we'll eventually inherit Shiro's "Snow Falling at Red Gate" [2], in the same series, from her aunt.
We've a couple other prints that I am going to search now... thanks again!
For us Cloud SQL instances are toast but App Engine Standard instances are still serving requests. Google Cloud console is borked too, mostly just erroring out.
Dammit. I listened to Adam on https://shoptalkshow.com/659/ just last week and really admired his impressive depth of knowledge about CSS and the web and how well spoken he is on the subjects.
I’m surprised to see no mention of the other Aquarius Reef Base in Key Largo, which I’ve had the pleasure of visiting (from the outside only, freediving) in person: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarius_Reef_Base
Of the ones listed, I've only been to the two in Key West, FL, USA.
Neither of them (currently) outwardly resembles the, apparently common, cylindrical/cone look of most of the ones pictured in the wiki.
The West Tower garden is beautiful. The East Tower is a museum and my primary memory of it is that it houses this creepy doll that we learned about during a Ghost tour and had to go see for ourselves: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/robert-doll
Suggested title update: include species context, which is the American or Maine Lobster (officially "Homarus americanus").
That species is quite different from the myriad species of spiny lobster that are common throughout much of the world (notably that the American Lobster has claws).
I've been on two trips to Japan - 2014 and 2023. We enjoyed eating a lot of onigiri on both trips. During the latter trip I noticed that the ¥ price hadn't changed much but the amount of filling (various proteins) had gone down considerably, which makes sense from a business perspective.
We've tried making them at home a couple of times but haven't perfected it yet. Reading this is motivating me to give it another shot soon.
