I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.
on a non-human related, about biology. thismia americana(fairy latern) is sitll out there somewhere, originally it was found in chicago and arou calumet, but it was heavily developed, and it was “like distinct” whats unique is thismia is mostly a tropical species in ASIA and alledgely south america and central(likely a different genus), how did it end up america especially a temperate area.
it was found a few times over 100+years ago, and never found after that by PFIFFER. while new thismia species keep being discovered IN SE asia every year(likely origin of the clade thismia) and even 2 extinct species were found to be alive (kobensis(japan) and neptunis(151years later). because the flower is so small its likely hidden in leaf litter and its extremely difficult to find the other species.
