This is gonna be the longest fucking four years of my life. And I live near a coastal river. I don’t know whether I’ll end up in the gay camps, the ADHD camps, or drowned due to climate change.
Fascism sucks donkey nuggets.
Seems to be easier focusing with the calcite as well as durability in the scratchy sand environment.
Additionally, more derived/later species had aspherical lenses to compensate for the spherical aberration and dual layer organic→calcite lenses to allow for more of a refractive gradient to counteract the double imaging of calcite alone.
Modern arthropods probably done use it on land because of an inability to accumulate it in an efficient manner. Water arthropods like crustaceans probably done because it’s metabolically expensive to do these things when chitin alone can make for useful eyes.
Evolution is more of a “good enough” kinda situation.
From my searching, it would seem that trilobites used calcite to reinforce their hard parts as well. Crustaceans have amorphous calcium carbonate reinforced exoskeletons through mineralization, but no calcite land arthropods do not seem to have this mineralization tho.
I’m no expert. Just like using Google Scholar to answer questions I find interesting.
Elonia Trump.
Didn’t Hitler kill the other popular Nazi leaders because he feared their ability to take over the party?
That will be a fun day of news.
It was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual!!!
They should make sanders or Cortez the head of the DNC and be done with it.

One last hurrah from dark Brandon and his nuclear football would really change that electoral count.
Oh, I know it. They don’t believe that’s how tariffs work because “Trump said so!!!¡1!”
Here I am remembering my AP US History, crying.
The legend of Little Bobby Tables lived on through him.
