Great summary, thanks!

Despite the great images of IO the linked article comes with this mud pearl "[University of Arizona's Large Binocular Telescope] With two primary mirrors measuring 8.4 m (~27.5 ft), it has a collecting area slightly greater than that of a 30-meter (98.4 ft) telescope."

according to Science in Poland.

A cross from the 15th century.

Was Poland not widely Christian by that time?

Thanks! Had seen that paper once you guys pointed me to R. sanguineus and I had a chance to shower the kid.

I also found this site useful for ticks anatomy, on TicksSafety.com.

Visible eyes? Capitulum? Would not know where to look for that. Is there any online resource where I can learn on that?

Found it on my son's hair after a 10min visit to our veggies garden. My guess is that it might be a tick but we are not in an area of lime disease and although it's an open, rather unkept, field the only mammals I see around are 2-3 stray(?) cats.

The photo was done using a stereoscope+smartphone. The dark lines underneath are .4 to .5 mm.

Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks for your answers and perspective, trully. Even if none of us have changed their opinion.

I see adjectivation and categorization as parts of reasoning. I think you used a red herring in order to have a strong opinion about it. With the same cheakyness, I'll quote yourself

I can't say whether this is an important issue, because I don't have any experience in this area.

I take issue

You feel free to use expressions and terms as "rub me the wrong way", "buzzwords", and "clickbait". In those cases you are okay with the listener/reader interpreting the implicit meaning over their explicit wording. Why is "forever chemicals" different? Specially in an informal communication setting.

What would you consider as okay to mention as 'forever chemicals'?
