Unless whatever group is in power has expressed that they wish to destroy those artifacts, I would prefer to work with whatever government there is to not only transfer the artifacts back, but help them setup whatever infrastructure is required to maintain them, including training of staff in their care.

Your bias is exactly the same on that led to those artifacts being stolen. It can be summed up as "these are savages, how can we trust them with their own things?" The West stole these artifacts and in many cases destroyed other artifacts or defaced historical sites to take them in the first place. It's chauvinistic to continue this cycle. Give them back, try to make things right, and if things get destroyed, that's just how it goes. It wasn't the West's to take in the first place. More progress is made by working with people than pearl-clutching. This is accepting the world as it is and trying to make it better all at once.

Much like the theft of historical artifacts by the UK et al, ISIS was the result of decades of imperialist meddling by the US. Maybe just leave things be and let the locals work out what they want to do with their land, their people, and the artifacts on it. Offering assistance without strings attached is good, interventions are bad.

It's like offering to help your neighbor with their yard: it's acceptable to offer to lend them your mower, but it's not acceptable to dig up everything on their property, replace it with grass sod, and spray it regularly with herbicides because you didn't like the look of their local fauna and are afraid the dandelions and clover would spread to your lawn after your first intervention.

Now REPENT

They're all in the lab working ridiculously long hours.

I once watched this nature documentary named "Princess Mononoke" and can confirm that wild pigs continue to live on even after physical death.

The treatment the plant in the picture received is called "air layering" that is used for propagation. You wound the stem you want to propagate, then wrap it with something moist. This leads to roots developing on that stem while it is still attached to the larger plant.

I'm not familiar with using this method to induce fruit production and it didn't look like they used air layering in the paper.

Here's the paper in the meme.

I'm curious about the scalability of this method, but it's a bit outside my experience. Seems like it would take a lot of energy to implement?

How am I supposed to identify all the unmarked containers of clear liquids if not by smell? You want me to drink them now??

When you said glove boxes, I was thinking about all the times I hit my head on the glove boxes and Kim wipe boxes that were mounted to the front of our hoods above the sashes.

You probably meant actual glove boxes, but it reminded me the corners of our glove box holders fucking hurt to bump your head into and I should move them someday.

And Snatch

That very much sounds like a moment for self-reflection.
