    Um… There may not always be male and female plants, but pollen is definitely the ‘male’ form of a haploid gamete, and nearly perfectly analogous to sperm. The link should be able to take you to every part you’d not want to know about plants. Allergies are normal. People who don’t have allergies are the freaks, because their bodies don’t care that the tree is trying to have sex with their nose.

    Hell, the part of the fruit that you eat is often the plant sperm that didn’t fertilize the plant egg. Pollen contains a second plant sperm that fertilizes a different part of the female plant and creates all the juicy goodness you ingest. You can read about it here.

    Now, the dandelion is formed seeds, sure. So baby cannon it is. /shrug


  • I use both as well. Ublock would let a lot of things through that NoScript does not. Ublock also gets stuff that NoScript does not. Facebook and google stuff? Zapped by noscript. Youtube ads? NoScript lets them through because you have to okay the youtube player, while Ublock blocks them.

    Only complaint I have with NoScript is that it doesn’t seem like I can allow scripts without it automatically reloading the page anymore. It was nice to be able to click the ‘expand image’ here, see that NS blocked the script, allow the script, and just click the ‘expand image’ twice more to close/open it. Now I have to click ‘expand image,’ unblock the script, the page reloads, I have to go find the post again, and then see it. If you figure that out, let me know.




  • It was, when it was just people looking to get a tiny bit of income from renting a room in their house. Then people tried to make it their sole income, and then companies got into the game. Part of it is that the service became popular, so any cheaper rooms are snatched up instantly, and the user now gets to choose between a hotel-looking hotel, or a house-looking hotel, with nasty fees to get more money from you.
